THE EDITORS SEAT.

The Editors seat is high and peculiar posi-
ton, from which he can survey far and near
the surrounding scene, and convey the choicest
portions of it to his readers. As an editor, he
exists for their benefit, and should carry deep
sense Of his duties with him into the theatre Of
his labors.
These duties are to be, not only TO provide
his readers with entertainment, and TO answer
the ends OF his advertising patrons, but also tc
point out the way to loitier excellence, and show
it by himself climbing the steep. In its sub
jects, his paper should be the repository oil
what is fitted TO ennoble and bless mankind; and
in the treatment of them there should be cor
responding dignity and propriety. NJ. bui
what an EDITOR may fall into an amiable mood
and converse cheerfully and socially with his
r aders, but he is still to remember the respect
he owes to them, and the benefits they OF right
look for at his hands, and he ought neither to
furnish to them, nor permit others to furnish to
them, through him, the language of rudeness or
scurrlity, or to drag before them topics harmful
or disgusting 10 humanity.
And so of his department toward his brother
editors. They are brotherhood for good, pro-
minent before the people. They may and ought
to ennoble their calling and set before their pa
irons high examples of all that marks the phil
anthropist and the gentleman. However much
they may differ in principle, let all their discus
sons be carried on in the temperate language Of
courtesy, trusting TO hard logic and solid argu.
ments for the establishment of their positions
Truth is eternal, and stands upon her own basis
She will finally triumph, and all her advocates
can afford to present their offerings calmly ant
composedly at her shrine, and then wait for the
certain day Of victory. E.

What q Man will d, for RUM

A case has recently occurred in the town of
Pomfret which shows what sacrifices n man will
make and what expenses he will incur for few
gallons of rum, when goaded on bv that Terrible
appetite which seems TO brook NO restraint. and
which hone but the drunkard knows the strength
of. Lemuel Harlow, of that town, On. same
man whose disclosure short time ago led to the
conviction of Flint of this town. was apprehu.-
ded while in a state of intoxicatIon, and when
sober was taken before Hosea Doton, Esq, of
Pomfret, and after great hesitation made the fol.
lowing disclosures
He left home on Thursday morning, and tray
eled on foot TO West Hartford distance of six
miles, when he hired team of Albert William
son TO take him to Hanover N. H.. for the use
of which he paid ST. 80. At Hanover he pur-
chased four gallons of New Rum, together with
a small cask, for which he paid $3.50. He then
returned to West Hartford and hired Williamson
to carry him home, and paid him therefor 81.
The team giving out under the weight of its
precious load before he reached the place Of his
destination, he paid 25 cents, TO be carried the
residue of his journey. Add to this fifty cents
for the two tolls across Connecticut river, and
horse batting at Hanover, and it makes the sum
total for four gallons of rum, $6.S5--makine
Sill per gallon, besides hard days work "a
obtain it even at that price. And We. our very
amiable friends, the rummes, choose 20 inform
the world that there is more rum sold and drank
in Vermont at this time than there ever was be.
fore This case, like a dozen others that We
might name, pretty clearly hews that the ia.
cIlities for obtaining it have not been much in.
creased.
How long, we ask, is New Hampshire to re.
