COMING TO ELS SEEsEs.-The editor OF

most ultra Democratic papers in Illinois,
makes the following frank confessions:

the great delight OF many Democratic edi-
tore, counting ourselves among the number.
But the tables have turned on US, and we
are now frank enough TO acknowledge that
we have been sorely Pierced. There isn't
much back bone in the present national ad.
minstration. nor very little Of anythin, else
that is effective. When shall the old Jack

calling Had Names.

Although editors are generally the brst
humored fellows in the world, and "country
editors" especially. CHASING ourselves among
them, yet it is astonishing what pleasure
some Of them take in the use Of explosives,
oombast and fury, to express their indigna-
lion at contemporaries. While even the
mos, twisted and i'll ground specimen OF hu-
manity, no. occupying the position of edi-
tors, are content with telling people with
whom they have occasion to differ, they are
mistaken, our amiable brethren of the
Press probably by way setting public ex.
ample, or telling their patrons what very
spunky fellows they are, call the stateme mt
OF charge malicious or wilful lie, and
The u,terer a liar or a scoundrei or an aoor-
tion, or something else very terrible. We
and these expressions very common in some
Of our exchanges, and what is most singular,
they are but rarely used except when the
literal truth 10 told for which they are meant
as denial, and the truer the story the more
emphatic the epilhet of liar or scoundrel in
return. And another singular TACT, the men
who use the language so pleasantly, are gen.
orally incapable Of writing respectable ar
ticle, but appear to make these epithets an
swer the purpose Of argument, reason and
common sense. And still another fact, they
are generally transferring titles from them
selves TO others, when they call cotempora-
ries names which privately they bear in their
respective communities.
There may be and doubtless are exceptions
to this rule, but something remarkably unu.
sual must have occurred, to draw from any
respectable man, having the slightest thought
of his own decency or of the delicacy of his
readers, language unbe6lting any private
circle but that OF the lowest blackguardism
We think all such vulgar intercourse, OF
rather differences, between members of the
press, should be dispensed with. 1t appears
to US, that when a man wishes to use such
epithe,s at or about a neighbor, he should
stand up face to face with the object of his
demoniacal fury, and rattle out his vulgar
isms, mus only exp sing ms disgusting iil
manners to one person instead of Parading his
shame 10 whole community through the col.
umns of paper. We haze known even de.
ceHt men do this, but we pledge our word we
never knew nor heard tell of u decent man
use such language in paper which enters
respectable families, and whose every WORD
is read by females. Nor do we think the
editor who INDUCES in such epithets, can BY
this shallow means prove the possession oil
any unrccountable degree of bravery, bu'
rather exhibits that morally he is a superla
tive coward and without the pale OF gentle.
manly notice.

you speak OF. had aud could have no inten-
