Which1Mes have assumed that we enter upon the
performahce Of the wdTk assigned us. We have
long snts the opinion that the 6lele
sibiity othe editorial positionls far too slightly
appreciated By othe public, and oftentnnes BY the
editor himself mind. there can be but few
Ioitiogs life in which there is more scope for
the exercise of Influence, and it hence becomes
questioned the grayest Importance that that inia-
eAca should be properly directed, and in order to
ITS prep ion, it must beproperly understood
by the editor at least The 4ewspaper psnetates
into allraaks and conditionsof life; it is read BY
the old and the young, the educated and the lite

medium but too often fnd a responsive echo in
the breasts of men Of all grades, who are unfor-
tunatey by nature but too prone to evil rather than
jitsepposite Hence, the responsibility above re-
Tened to, and he, who knowingly would abuse the
responsibility thus east upon him, is capable Of
any conceivable act, no matter how base OF repul-
