to give II place here. 10 reply to our CORES
pOndent's inquiries, we have to inform him
and all others who have not watched our
course, that we care nothing for any party
democratic, republican, Union, opposition or
otherwise-further than as parts of the great
machine by which the political interests of the
country are regulated AS to choosing an
editor for our correspondent, we have too
much to do to attend to our own concerns to
undertake such q task. If he will take the
usual business course, and advertise for one
through our columns, just as people do for
walters and chambermaids, we have NO doubt
that he will soon get supplied. There are
plenty of idle editors floating around New
York, whose political convictions are not like.

best recommendation young man can give by trial
OF himself Will trouble you too much 70 answer and
oblss, most truly yours,
The writer of the above seems to be of the
fair average stuff out of which country editors
are made, and we therefore enclose his letter,
with name and address, to our correspondent
As our advice IL asked on some other points
of their proposed enterprise, we would strong
ly recommend the parties interested in II to
first secure the capital required before they
commit themselves to any steps involving ex-
pence. Democratic politicians are slippery
customers, and are more remarkable for their
readiness to promise than TO keep faith. Let
our correspondent and his associates, there
fore, bag the money first and make their ar
engagements afterwards. As TO starting q new
paper, we must say that we do not see the
least necessity for it, seeing that there are al
ready three republican journals In their To-
cality. They will have no difficulty in buying
up one Of them, printing materials, principles |
and editor included.
