 The editorial address is the most handsomely written document of the kind we have ever seen. The only fault to be found with its, that il IS too short. An editorial address, espeeIali when writ ten by young man, should be at least four col umns long.
 There is good deal of truth and much more irony ia the remark.

' Children you shouid nerer let yO. angry passions Your little hends perc neuer made tO tear each othsrs eges.'
 The ouachi,a Herald iwhig) has placed al it's mast head the name of Abner X. Stith as a eandi- date for Congress. The editor of the Herald speak ing for the whigs Of South Arkaasas, indignantly rejects the candidate proiTered by the Telegraph and Wing, and refuses to submit to. the dictation of the whig clique Of Little Rock.
 At present there are symptoms of triangular fight among the whigs of the State, Capt. Prestoa ia the East, sustained by the Arkansas Whig and Washington Telegraph; Major s,ith in the South, pushed forward by the oaaehta Herald, and Mir. Jesse Turner in the West, backed by the Arkansas Intelgencer. We suppose it will be a sort of Kilkenny fight, in which everything will be used up except the tale. We are like the woman whose husband was fighting with bear, we "don't care farthing which whips" for any or all of them will come out of tEe contest if not ''unwept un- honored and unsung," at least most signaliy de- feated without any sympathy from the people.
 The Herald in'Speaking of Capt. Preston, says
 ''Wc notice that one or two papers in the State mention the name of JoHS PRESTON, Of Helena in connection with the Congressional canvass; hut as Mr. Preston has not yet given his consent to run, 1t is presumed he will not do when he learns that there is already another able man the field. MT. P. is a gentleman of talent and worth, and has high claims upon his party, but we do not really think that he is possessed of that peeHAar talent requisite 10 success in the present campaign"
 We agree with the Herald; we do not think that Captain Preston :" is possessed of the peeHd0r tal ent requisite to success in the present campaign" but unfortunately for them the same may be justly said of any rolig who may become candidate.

LONDON, FEBRUARY l3, lSs

LONDON, FEBRUARY l3, 1851.
The political mind of England is at this time
wide awake" principally, however, in respec, to
domestic affairs. And in the first place, the inquiry
is, what is the Chancellor Of the Exchequer to do
with his surplus Of R2,50o,oOo' Of course he
must take off taxes to nearly that amount but then
the question recurs, what taxes? The public wish
is almost universally expressed in favor Of the win
dow tax being entirely repealed, and this would,
probably, very nearly exhaust the surplus revenue
But rumor says the Chancellor will ask for some
nec taxes he therefore, Of course intends to take
of an equal amount Of old ones-and speculation is
very rife about what they are to be- The report on
change to-day was that stamp tax Of one penny

each was to be laid on all checks upon bankers
and we have heard experienced men of business
say that this tax would raise more money than the
penny postage; or, in other words, that more
checks were drawn every day than there were
letters posted. We can scarcely think that this
assertion is correct, but the tax would certainly be
very productive. Again, house tax is spoken Of
which is to raise from 100000 to 9i,CO0, 900
annually. If these reports be correct, Ministers
will have large marginto operate with, even after
they have repealed the window-tax, and no doubt
all classes Of taxpayers will be clamorous for relief
We think there is manifest tendency our fnances to re-
sort and to direct taxation. Our political econo-
mss say there three modes Of taxation. First the
ton Of the lower and middle classes who form the great body
Of consumers by indirect taxation, through the excise Office
and the cusom-house Secondly the taxation of the pro.
persd classes by direct charges upon that property whether
real personal Thirdly, there is the exemption of the
lower and Of the higher and throwing the burden upon the
industrious middle classes by taxing their income, arising
from their industrious earnings through the income
direct mpost Of the most description. Against the
first Of these modeshe taxation by the tariff and the excise
the public voice is very generally raised will the
Government satisfy the nation unless the income tax which
is literally tax upon industry, is essentially modified We
