Editorial aumbuegery.

The component parts of an editor are de-
fined thus The constitution OF Eorse, OBJ

description he cannot be thought good
edltor."- Exchange.
The above is a perfect piece Of humbug.-
It has become fashionable among Editors to
ridicule their own profession both as to its
comforts and emoluments. Ever since the
law has recognized US as a man, we have
been recognized by the world as an Editor
just as much as any Doctor with diploma, or
any lawyer with his proper certificate of ex-
animation can dub himself physician or coun-
sellor al law. And after an experience ofive
years, no earthly inducement could urge US
to change our profession for law, medicine, or
divinity. 1t is as distinct profession as any
one Of these three, requiring as much educa-
ton, as much study, as all together, and more
general ability. As for poverty, the edito-
rial profession like every other, is rewarded
according to the ability Of its followers
Those who complain OF afterwards, are those
least deserving of recompense. If an Editor
is acquainted with the duties Of his profession
sufficiently to know how to please the public,
he Gun always command good salary, and
his income is as large and sure as that Of
any other professional man.
He may be 4" a target for every man to
shoot at" yet fhe be a proper man for his
station, he can generally repay with interest
the Best shots of his antagonists. IF lie be
a coward, he has no business to be an Editor
IF he be not a coward, he will always be
willing to submit himself as target, provid
ed he is allowed in return to make large

S prizes into nobody's business but he tells hi
r readers, as a faithful clronicler of passing
events the various circumstances, events an,
: general Incidents, Of the day and community
= The more faithfully he does this, the nor
5 benefit is his paper to the public.

The "Cuban Patriot.,,

The Princeton Clarion talks of Lopez as
the & Cuban Patriot who has fled TO our
shores for refuge in adversely" and calls his
arrest an outrage! Bah This is too super
latively ridiculous. We believe he as richly
deserves hanging as any criminal that has
been strung up of late years. He fathered
an expedition which was making traitors Of
hundreds of Americans-he led an invasion
against the possessions of a nation with which
we are at peace, and which we as nation
are bound by the laws Of nations and by
every sense of justice and honor, to condemn
and arrest-he prevailed upon many Of our
young men to undertake an enterprise, which
even if the knowledge he claimed to possess
of things in Cuba had been correct and that
popularity of which he boasted, fact the feat
would have been desperate and hopeless, and
one upon which many OF them must sacri-
fee their lives-and he led Americans en-
ticing them with the glorious word liberty
and hints at plumber, against men, women
and children, to commit wholesale murder,
and destroy property on a grand scale, in
pursuit of an object, Of which they really
knew nothing more than that il was colored
by the sacred word liberty. The Cuban
patriot"-superlatively ridiculous 1t is {
bitter satire on him or the word patriot, we
do not know which, but rather think on both
Heaven save our country from the visits 0
any more such "patriots' as this Lopez an,
the more severe our government can be on al
such interterers with the peace Of nations, thu
better it will carry out the will of the people
and do justice TO Itself and the country.
