The Point Coupee Echo complains
bitterly that some of our neighborine
brethren Of the corps editorial. (Capi.
tai editorial corps, We might say) steal
whole columns Of his editorial, aud ap.
propriate it to their own use. This is
radically wrong; but the fact is that
just now there are several weight y
subjects for editorials, that are dull
and prosey, and we do not much blame
our contemporaries for fathering the
opinions Of their brethren. Is it not
all in the family: And is it not more
flattering to the author to see his ideas
raised up, and adopted by another
than to feel that as soon as they are
thrown of from his own press. that
they go sinking down to the bottom of
the deep, to moulder in oblivion with
similar rubbish +? We think sd there
fore we take it as . flattering compli-
ment, and we chuckle in silence, and
say to ourself, there now-there's the
evidence of intrinsic merit. But
apart from levity. we do say that when
one Of the bretheren sits down and Ia
bors over heAvy leader, about the
Judiciary" or some other weighty
subject of like importance to the grow
ing wants Of this great and growing
country; that he should have credit for
it, and his name should appear at the
head of it. and not at the tail where
some compromising fellows eondescend
to place it.
But the fact is, that some must be
"hewers of wood, and drawers Of wa.
er-A-some must sew and others reap.
Out Of the forty-seven thousand news
papers published in the United States
about two dozen can lay some claim to
originality, the balance are but the
echo of them. Foremost on the list
we place the New York Sun, the Car
rollton Star, and the Baton Rouge
Comet. Nobody dare steal anything
from these papers because everybody
reads them, and it would be immediate.
