DrsINTEREsTED FRIENDs-There is no species OF
disinterested friendship tormenting that which
a newspaper editor suffers occasionally from the
hands OF loahng, office seeking, political mendi-
cagts. In this city there is legion OF these worn
out hacks, with consciences threadbare as their
coats, and souls destitute of principle their
pockets are OF pecuniary responsibility. You can
detect one of them at glance They have that
peculiar air which procaIms long and habitua con.
tempt OF honorable industry, and curiously mngle
with il you observe expression of resllessness and
discomfort. Their clothing, except in rare In
stances, is in seedy condition but they manage
by some mysterious process always 10 display an
''nch OF clean inep," and their boots, however
much worn, uniformly shine forth in all the bril-
hancy OF Day and Martins" fellow. laborers in
this country
The pomposity of some OF these gentry is inf
ntey amusing, il you keep it, like dancing bear,
al proper distance. They talk if the whole
affairs of the State were under Their undivided con-
troll, and with many knowing shrugs and winks,
they intimate their perfect familiarity with all the
movements in the political world-past, present,
and TO come. They have always "some very i'm
portant Intelligence from Washington" and are
never without assurances from high quarter, that
their claims are Oh the very OF obtaining quit
able reward
These are the creatures who 20 loafng about the
newspaper offices, ormenting The very souls almost
out OF the poor partisan editors, who dare not, for
the HE OF them, murmur syllable OF discontent-
To u, however, they are rather amusing. We
listen gravely to them-laugh at them, and then
SEND them about their business 1t is, however,
we have often thought, great pity to see these
creatures utterly destitute OF employment. They
ought, IN all conscience, to have a little 10 do by
way OF occasional recreation. We suggest that
