each. DR.. E w. H. ELLIS, editor of the Goshen

DR.. Ellis will come among a comparative stran-
ger but bis personal merits will win him plen-
fy Of friends. As State officer. he will do credit to
his party by serving the people with foitfuness and
prVmpiitude.
Col Druke will make popular Treasurer, as eve-
~ body knows. There several candidates be-
fore the democratic caucus for the above Office and
there several baIloings before preference was
expressed for Treasurer. The choice having been
fixed upon. a, last, happy record the fact
that those who were defeated bore their disappoint
ment with that good grace which becomes good dem

ceive the need Of common appreciation.

Editors.

Wecopy the following just and true view of the tolls
and trials of the editorial profession, from the Evening
Gazette able and valuable miscellaneous newspaper
published in Boston:
II has been regards talent the editors of
America are fer inferior their in ENGLAND
and France Il is that have Douglass Jerodo or
Emile de Grardn, but the amount Of talent which he
American newspapers exhib, will compare very favosy
with the journals of any country. That profession cho.
by Of talent which pays the best and
to honor; and though many OF the most eminent sb
tiles daily and weekly contribute TO make the newspaper
in this country there few who willingly enter the
harness and publicly the ksome duIes attached TO
the situation of editor Editors themselves ofes aude 10
their trials and with good for there task which
requires such logged such Jobke patience

is no procrastinating these days Of competition. The
editor cannot, if he be Ill, relnqush for dsy his duties.
He drive along often writing when his mind

must be at his desk He must forget the troubles which
