Newspaper Quarreis.

We take this time, when our words will not
be applied to any special case, to state our
views on the subject OF newspaper quarrels.
We have never taken notice of any of our
contemporaries when they have assai!ed or
misrepresented us in their columns. for we
believe the readers of our paper do not care to
peruse individual disputes and quarrelsome
disputatioDs. Intelligent men, we apprehend,
are always ready to repeat to the editors of
newspapers who are engaged in personal quar-
rels, what Mercutio said to the Capulets and
Montagues,--
"a plague o both your houses"
Few editors have INDUCED in personal con-
troyersy, and at its close could truly say that
they had neither lost their self respect, nor
fallen in the estimation of judicious friends.
We believe that at the close Of the editorial
career Of those who in times past have cons
Quoted partisan papers, either religious or po-
ltical, the best men of The number have looked
back upon their personal quarrels and news-
paper squabbles with those of rival parties or
different sects, as the least profitable portion
of their lives. The mental vitriol they have
thrown upon their opponents has irrilated, cor
roded and poisoned their own hearts A war
of words is to be avoided if possible, end where
it takes two TO fight, the wisest course is to
follow the sacred injunction, "to leave off con.
tenton before it is meddIed with" A quaint
English writer has, with great truth, compared
quarrelsome, aggressive disputant to vol
cano; the lighter portion of what it vomils
forth are dissipated by the winds the heavier
ones fall back into the throat whence they
were disgorged. Whatever offences we may
commit, we mean never to have newspaper
quarrel; and whether our daily contemporarie
throw squib, or the weekly journals level
heavy column at us. we shall meet it all with
what Charles Lamb styled "ihe primitive dis
