EDITORIAL PRovERBs.-Whe thou goest 10
a printing office, talk not to the compositors,
nor meddle with anything which thou mayest
see there.
If thou bringest writing for publication,
withhold notfrom the editor the name of the
author thereof lest the seemest TO deal fraudu-
lently, nor ask of him who hath written
certain piece, lest he may not wish TO tell
thee.
Let the writing thou mayst bring be legi-
BILE, lest much time be lost in decyphering it;
and be not too long, else no one will read ii;
but see to it that thy style is clear and Thy
words simple, that all may understand thee
And take no offence if thy piece be not pub
lished, for it might have injured thee or
dishonored thy friends. And it may be that
the editor hath other pieces better than
thine.

@7The editor is quite indisposed.

TAvLoR's ADMISIsTRAnoN.--The following
judicous observation are from the pen Of Mr.
Greedy of The New York Tribune We have
no fear that Old lack will be "worried to death
by the opportunities of the legions of office
seekers" In the first place, Wings are prin-
cipled against inficting such an annoyance;
and in the second. Taylor is the last man to
submit to it. The whole tribes Of the beasts
and birds Of prey the wolves and the vultures
that usually linger round the battle field
while there is rag 10 pillage or a bone TO
gnaw, ave been booted and scared off by the
people in the election of Taylor and the de-
feat Of Cass aud Van Buren,;
There are those of inclination and impulses
will induce iiIsm to insist that this victory is
entirely owing 10 the personal popularity oil
Gen. Taylor and to represent that whatever
course the new Administration may see fit 10
take will be popular. not because its policy Is
right, but because Gen. Ia ylor is at the head
OF il. Although there may seem TO be sup
port for this opinion in the case of GEN Jack
son, we insist that il does injustice TO the in
telligence and discernment of the American
People. We trust the Administration i'm pros
pect will be popular, not because Gen. Taylor
has fought CALAMITY and is generally liked, but
because its principles and measures will be
such as the People ought TO approve and up
hold. To suppose that they will sustain Pro-
lection 10 Home Labor, Internal Improvements
&c, &C., because they admire the gallantry
and soldiership evinced at Buena Vista, or the
humanity displayed at Monterey, is 10 pay a
poor compliment TO their fitness for enjoying
Republican Liberty.
Yet that Gen. Taylor is beloved and confded
in by a large majority Of the American People
is an unquestionable truth, aud it is an ell
ement of decided strength TO the new order OF
things. Thus far they have found him ade-
quale to every exigency which has presented
itself during thirty-six years of varied and
eventful public services. Always simple
modest, unpretending. he has uniformly riser
10 the level of any emergency, and this affords
10 the public an assurance that he will prov,
equal to the new and arduous responsibilities
10 which he is now called. Let us ferventl,
trust that this hope will not be disappoint
ed.
The first peril which awaits him is that o
being worried to death by the opportunities o
the legions of Office seekers, whom he will flint
a more formidable annoyance than all the Mex
icaas he ever saw. We have faith, however
that he will not let them kill him. we hope la
will not suffer his rest TO be seriously inter
rupted by them. Ii is a comfort to be certain
that tbs great majority of the greedy, forward
scrambling, pushing crowd must be disappoint
ed. Very likely some unassuming. worthy
capable men. who do not think the party vii
be ruined if theis claims are overlooked an
who do not look to Office asa means ofget
ting rich with little labor, will be appointe
10 comfortable places, which will be anothe
consolation.

THs GREAT SEA SERPESr.-lf the fol-
lowing paragraph from an English paper be
correct, the existence Of sea serpent ia
the waters Of the Atlantic cannot be doubt
ed:
When The De1alns frigaie, Captain Me-
Quanae, arrived al Portsmouth, Eng, was OH
her passage home, between the Cape OF
Good Hope and 81. Helena, her captain, and
most other officers and crew, al four O'Clock
one afternoon, saw a sea serpent. The crea
lure was twenty minutes in sight Of The irig
ale, and passed under her quarter. Its head
appe AIRED to be about four feet out of ihe
water, and there was about sixty feet of lis
body in straight line on the surface. IL i,
calculated that there must have been under
water length Of thirty or forty feet more
The diameter Of of The exposed part Of the
body was about sixteen inches, and when i
extended It's jaws. which were full of large
jagged teeth, they seemed sufficiently capa
cous to admit Of a tall man standing uprigh
between them.

the number became scarce, the price was In

value of which in money, was three shillings
per pound. This debt for wives, il was order
