Philadelphia Agents, so as to obtain basis
for the definite action of the Association at its
annual meeting.
Messrs. Stille and Mickle, from South Jer-

On motion of Capt l. w Mickle, it was re-
solved that this convention recommend to the
Press throughout the country the propriety of
Establishing a National Editorial Association.
/ On motion, adjourned to meet at Newark
on the fourth Thursday of September next
The occasion, to us, and we have no doubt
to all assembled, was one of pleasure as well
as profit. 1t was the first time we had ever
met with majority of the crowd, and al
though strangers, we found them, as printers
generally are, a good-natured, good-hearted
good-looking set of fellows.
Our readers may forr Asome idea of the
character and appearance of the New Jer-
ssy editors by perusng the following humor-
GUS article from the per of O. Vanderhoven,
ESQ.,, of the Passaic Guardian" II will be
observed that Vanderhoven says nothing of
himself in this article, and we are sorry our
acquaintance with him is so limited as to rem
der It impossible for US to sketch him. Our
neighbor "over the post-office," is better post
ed than we, and will probably attended to his
case Yanderhoven compliments US as being
g the best looking man, in the Monmouth
corpse. We are sorry we cannot say as much
for him. In fact, we hardly believe he will
ever be hung on account of his good looks
He's a clever chap though, and it is hardly
right to censure him because he don't happen
to be good looking. He says he can't help it,
but we don't believe he tries to help it. How
ever he's better than he looks, as will be seen
by the following
The Editors of New Jersey.
Last Thursday we had the pleasure of meet
ius for the first time with. the assembled edito-
rial corps of this state, as well as with several
before the opening of the session. Unfortun-
ately there was break upon the Railroad,
which hindered many from reaching Camden
before the adjournment. One of the large To-
comotives recently sent out from this place,
about a week ago had the misfortune to tum-
BILE into Rancocas Creek and in order to raise
her it was necessary to occupy the bridge road
for one or two days. However the knights of
the quill began to assemble about 10 o'clock,
and kept coming in until late in the afternoon,
some of them looking rather the worse for wear
and tear 1t was decided to await the arrival
of Judge Naar, the President of the Associa-
ton, who was also among the frustrated ones
on the Railroad, and the interium an agreea-
BILE interchange of opinions took place, upon
the general interests of the craft interspersed
by some of the pungent wit conversation which
ever oozes from the fat form of that good ma
tured prince of joyial follows. James NJ. Case
dy, of Camden.
The Camden Democrat is at present under
the charge of Bros. Mickle and Cassidy. Mic
kle takes charge of the rooster, big guns, and
cold Mormon" department, whilst Cassidy
declares himself the religious editor of the pa
per. AS to its religious principles, the least
said the better for the paper the better for
Cassidy, and the better for u.s. AS to the
rooster business, everybody must admit that it
beats all creation on growing Friend Mickle
is Of the game variety of the Shanghai Species
and is absolutely 'spiling for a fight. Here
minds US of the boy placing a chip upon his
shoulder for the purpose of raising row with
some unlucky urchin who might by accident
or design jostle it off. He is rubicund-faced
fellow, like Cassidy, without the obesity which
renders the latter peculiar rarity Indeed it
is somewhat remarkable matter to find an ed
tor so comfortable and good-natured, so fat
and full as Cassidy. OF all the editors pres
ent, he alone was like bowl full of jelly
Most of the Others looked like half-Starved
Indians.
The only pious editor that we know of in the
Convention, is James S. Yard, of the Non
mouth Democrat Yard used to be one of the
boys, and many is the Beach Party" he has
been the king-devil amongst These beach
parties are institutions peculiar to South Jer
sey. A company of twenty TO forty ladies and
gentlemen gather up enough to eat, after the
fashion of our pic mic scrapes, and go to the
sea-shore, where in some fshermans shed, they
take to their quarters At night the girls
take one room aud the gentlemen the other,
(there are seldom more than two apartments
in the house) and bunk it on the floor In
