EDITORIAL QUAGIFrcATIoNs.-In no profession
is divisions Of labor more important than in our
own, says the Washington Republic The nu-
merous readers of q paper require variety Of
style and subject which no one editor fur
| nish Most editors are prone to discuss those
subjects in which they excel. So long as this
subject is interesting to the public their articles
| are popular. But fashion changes Public in
| terest is transferred to some other topic and
the able writer on trade, or the public lands, is
| laid aside for an exciting disputation upon the
| mysteries Of spirit rapping. &c In happier days"
| an editor and subscribers constituted family !;
| the opinions of the editor were never contro-
vertcd by the argument Of an antagonist; his
readers like the enduring hearers Of some Or
| thodox divine, listened to his nterminabe ex-
position of his own principles, and never wit
| messed any comparison Of opinions, unless when
foeman of straw was set up to be triumphantly
overthrown and demolished But the reign of
| the editorial essayist is over. There is too much
to read and too little time to read it in. The
contents of paper must be fresh, brief and va
ried. The tendency is to throw off all general
| tiles and come at once to the material Men
| read newspapers to post themselves as to facts,
making their own application without the aid Of
editorial leading strings. This is the para
graphic era. Letters are read before leaders
and group Of readers will shy off from the
ari.hmetical details Of "glorious victory" to
laugh at an Irish retort in poice-office But
ability and information are indispensable in the
conductor Of the press The immense enter
prises of the day are so much connected with
scientific facts, often with the foreign policy Of
the government, that journal may often rem
der its subscribers an invaluable service by q
geographical or geological treatise, or by accu-
rate information regarding our relations with
foreign countries. In the conduct of the press
therefore, there should be division of labor
editors should study the various topics before
the public, and should, above all, cultivate thu
invaluable attributes of accuracy and brevty
The foreign news, as it is reported in the east
ern papers, seems now to be composed of nothin;
but Mrs. Stowe and her husband. The latte
half of the firm would have a small chance, if i
were not that he is talking animal. But ever
with this, there seems to be struggle ON hi
part to keep above the surface. In his speeche
it is not &c my wife's Uncle Tom" but " our Tn
Gle Tom" 1t may be presumed from this tina
the lady invented the facts, while the husban
furnished the theology. That's his business.
At the last account we have of this worth

Anti-slavery Society at its annual meeting hel

Many distinguished and titled men were pre-,
ent, and some who were not wrote letters givin
reasons fer being absent. One of these letter
was from the Earl of Carlsle--Lord Morpett
He said in his letter that he intended to call tn
attention of the House of Lords to the condtio

On this occasion as on previous ones Prof MI
Stowe delivered speech from which we extrac
