Once upon aIme friend Snyder was placed
upon bed Of sickness, and brought alnos,

of his dying friend Upon the conclusion
oflhe prayer, the deacon rose from hs,knees

The City Of wheeling.

Z 1--WE perceive that our friend Wharton. OF
the Wheeling Times and Gazette, by the
bold, manly defense Of his views on lbesub,
jec, Of slavery, &c., hus aroused the ire Of
some Of the old fogies Of thai burgh, and
that, Of late, there has been an effort 10 put
him down by means Of public meeting Of
the citizens. Mr.. Wharton has published a
series Of articles wherein he hbs smainained
that Virginia would be far better offif slavery
were removed from her borders; that the
progress ofOhio and Pennsylvania is enough
toisniisfy any man,hOt, the siand sill policy
fof' VifRnia'is owing To- the eincubus slavery
&c. For ulering these sentiments, which
every body out of Virginia knows 10 be eternal
truths, he has stirred upPhe wrath Of some

EDITING A NEwsFAPFR.-The following
sensible remarks we find in the "Nalional
Inlellgencer," and copy them for The bene6
Of whom il may concern:
Ia "Many people estimate the ability Of q

its editor by the editorial matter i,conia ns.
Ills comparatively an easy task for lrolhy
writer to pour out daily colpmns Of words
words upon any and lAI subjects. His ideas
may flow in one wishy washy everlasting
flood, and his command Of language may
enable him 10 string them together ike
lunches Of onions; and ye, his paper may
be meagre and poor concern. But what is
The toll Of such man who displays 5is
loaded matter largely,Io that imposed on n
iudcious, well.inlormed editor, who exer.
cises his vocation with an hourly conscious
ness of his responsibilities and duties, and
devoles himselfto the conducting of his pa.
per with the same care and assiduuy thai q
sensible lawyer besiows upon suit, or O
humane physician upon a patient, without
regard 10 show or display! Indeed the mere
wiring part Of editing a paper is buI small
por,ion of The work. The care, the time
employed in selecting, is far more important
md .he laci of a good editor is better known
by tisselcclions Than anything else; and that
we all know is half the battle. But as we
have, said, on editor ought 10 be estimated
LanG his Iabors understood and appreciated
by the general conducl Of his paper, lis tone
lis temper, its uniform, copsisIen. course, lis
principles and aims, lis manlness, its dignity
and prophecy. To preserve these as they
should be preserved, is enough 10 occupy
fully The lime and attention of any man. J
TO this be added, the. general supervision
Of The newspaper establishment, WHICH mos
editors have 10 epeounler, the most wondeI
is how they find lime 10 Nrle al all,"' 3
