with great deal of acrmony among the wing
circles and clques around town. No doubt can
s.s, that the indiscrimina,e system Of removing

charged with having made many appointments Of
old superannusted persons, who are entirely un.

hisself belongs to a former time, as they allege
Mr.. Maxwell does We think one Of the worst
features thus far indicated in the course OF Mr..

ED1roRs.-We find the following just
remarks in the Baltimore Clipper, paper
edited with rhuch ability and dignity:
The Philadelphia City Item has some
very just remarks on the laborious duties
of editors of newspapers, and the little
respect with which they are held by the
public This is attributable III some meas.
ure to themselves; for, in the political
contests they too often forget their self
respect, and descend TO vulgar abuse OF
an opponent This indiscreet course of
conduct on the part OF Il few of the pro-
fes sion is preludclai to the whole. No
man labors more assiduouSly than the ed
itor @. a daily paper; and few men have
greater influence i'll shapelng the course
Of public events; and yet ii Is rather fash
lonable to speak OF editors in contemptu-
Gus terms. as degraded inferior class of
society. Should the editor be sent to
Congress, members of inferior calibre-
men of small minds-will speak sneering-
lv of his profession, and affect to be de-
graded by the association in all proba-
blity, such members are indebted to
the iabors of editors for the seats they oc-
cupy.
Look at the course pursued towards
Mr.. Greely, of the House OF Representa-.
tives, a man Of peculiar views, on some
subjects, but possessed Of talents equalled
by few members of the House. Editors
help men up the ladder, and have dirt
kicked into their faces As recompense-
and such will continue to be the case until
there shall be an esprit de corps, estab-
lished among them; and they shall learn
to speak with respect of each other
Whilst they are contented to be the mere
slave of party, and feel bound to assist i'll
the elevation of par,y candidates without
respect to merit-whilst they speak OF
each other in disrespectful and indecent.
terms-they must expect to be desPlsed.
and to be treated with contempt even by.
the very men whom they have assisseia
to elevate TO power.

country is yet new and the demand al
ready so great that it will be difficult to
procure such as would suit, and including
transportation to this place would then
cost less and answer their purpose better
than any they could procure here, for all
may rest assured that the committee ap-
pointed to examine, will not pass any
