Thesiollowing rules on this subject, ex-
tracled from the London Morning Post, de-.
serves extensive diffusion.
l. Use note sized paper, because large
sheet covers the printers case and hinders
his work
2. Do not write on the back of the paper,
as that doubles the time of printing the ar
ucle; while one side is being '.set up"
what is written on the back cannot be gone
Oh with.
5. Write with dark black ink; for an
editor will read with reluctance what he
sees with difficulty; and the compoitor,
for the same reason, will dislike to ''set il
up"
4. Always write a plain hand. Some
hands which are elegant, are too elegant
to be understood. II you send an indis-
tinguishable scrawl, it will be thrown aside
until the editor has time to make it out,
which may not be until the Interest Of the
article has passed away" and it may be-
too late to print it.
S. Remember, that whatever gives an
editor trouble at his desk, doubles his ex-
pense in the printing Office. The printers
and readers waste time in decipherng bad
Ms; and out Of any failure in interpreting,
commonly grows charge against the
Journal for misrepresenting the writer. I,

From the Ohio Statesman.
A Danish Adage, With an Addition.
BY DR.. PETER JOHNSON.


The beasts that bite
Will mostly show
Their teeth, as white
As purest snow,
Before they'll harm
And injure thee;-
A sign to arm
Thyself, or flee.
But there's a fierce.
Dread biped-it
Will hide and pierce
Thee, sure to hit!
Beware Of him
That backbites thee!
He is a grim,
Dread monster! Flee!
ADDITION.
1t has been told t..
That snakes have stung,
In days of old,
With forked tongue;
But now they bite,
Yet let thee, ere
They'll hurt or smite,
A warning hear!
But one there is
That still will sting,
No warning hiss,
No rattle's ring;
A sland'rous tongue
With poisoned dart,
Has often stung
The purest heart.

George R. Clayton, ESQ,


Our readers win find in another place a
communication copied from the Aberdeen
Independent, recommending the name Of
GEORGE R. CLAYTON, Esq, 10 the favorable
consideration of the public, as "a candidate
for Judge of the Supreme Court, for the
northern district of the State. The same
suggestion has frequently of late boon made
in more or less public manner, both to Mr..
Clayton and his friends, with view to his
canvass for the Office in question, accompan-
led by urgent solicitations for the use Of his
name and confident assurances of success
As a friend of Mr., Clayton we arc able to say
that he can respond to these flattcring propo-
sails by a frank declaration of the only cir
cumstanooS under which hecould consent to
the use of his name He has long since ma
turely formed and repeatedly expressed his
well settled purpose never again to trouble his
fellow-citizcns forpublic favors, nor could the
prospect of any mere political Office, however
fattering, induce him to depart from this o
riginal resolution. Highly exalted however
as the office in question is, as one, both of
honor and profit, and alIiod as it is with the
tastes and pursuits of his professional calling,
1t would be an unworthy affectation in him
to disclaim the qualification he would feel Mt
its bcstowment by the people, While there
fore he would engage with reluctance in the
struggle OF canvass for any Office, still, a
general and unequivocal manifestation ON the
part of the public of such an interest in his
behalf as would warrant it, would be crate.
fully followed by such services as he could
bring to the cause of himself and friends in
the use of his name for the Supreme Bench.
This much We felt called upon to say in
reference to the prominence which probably,
only few partial friends have assigned to
the name of Geo. R. Clayton, in connection
with the approaching election of Supreme
Judge. What his final determination will
be depends, as will be seen, upon such pub
lie expressions as may be elected by the
present limited allusion to his claims.

Col. JEFF Davis,

With more than usual interest VIC atten-
ded the Court House last week with an i'm
patient curiosity to hear the Southern Rights
Senator harangue the public upon the cxcit-
ing questions in which he has borne so con
spieuous part. If a high personal admira-
ton on our part for the hero of Bucna Vista.
combined with strong theorotic sympathics,
was sufficient to preclude all prejudice, then
may our Judgment of the discourse be con
sidcrcd as strictly impartial if it is not rigor-
ously just We believed Davis to be am able
man, possessing strong powers of diserimi-
nation, and cxpository powers sufficient to
place every question not only in its strongest
but clearcst light. We therefore expected
to hear from him some distinct onunciation
OF his views as to the best policy to be pur-
sued by the South. 1t was on this point
that we were particularly curious. and IN
fortunately it was on the same point that we
were doomed to meet with Il complete disap-
pointment. So far as his reputation for abil-
ity was concerned, his speech amply sustain
cd it, from the simple fact that after cxpos-
ing IN an earnest and artistic manner all the
tyrannical cnormities of the adjustment"
he, with graceful ingenuity, left us lust
where he found US as to the remedy to be
applied. As to thcdemerits of the Compro-
mise he was pointed and emphatic. AS to
any distinct and unequivocal mode of rcsis-
lance, he was as nebulous as the clouds and
aboRtas remote, IN his location of the rctribu-
tive correction.
NoWwc allude to this factin no ducrulous
and uncharitablc spirit, but for the simple
and legitimate purpose of deriving an irlpor-
taRt lesson. So faras Davis hostility to the
Compromise is concerned, wearc disposed to
make every allowance, not only on account Of
kind personal feelings, but from our prone
ness to pardon much to the spirit of liber-
ty." Nor is it our design to find fault viii,
him IN the present instance, eor falling ID
point out any specific remedy for what he be-
lieTes to be oppressive measures Tbat.ex-
ercise Of prudence which preelndes the poli-
eyof his doing 50, we can easily appreciate

stands that secession il Tie only ADEQUATE
