wholesome Counsel.

The editors of this country, and es-
pecially country editors, have not yet
learned to be sufficiently masters o.
Themselves. Necessarily and properly
attached to some organization, as most
of them are, they have hecn dwaried
by party fealty and devotion to the
personal ends of aspiring demagogues.
Many an editor has been kept poor,
and his influence and usefulness de-
stroyed, in this way. There is sense
of personal degradation in this prostl-
tuting of ones powers, under the bind
ing and cruel force of necessity, which
pyecludes all aspiration for a higher
and nobler position. Then the press
is made contemplate by the low order
of partisan appeals to prejudice and
passion, and by personal assaults upon
opposing candidates and upon each
other. Criticism is essential to The
elu,ijation of truth; wit, satire and
ridicule are justifiable weapons of par
tisan warfare; the public action OF
every public servant is proper subject
of debate; and double dealing, fraud
and corruption should be held up to
acorn and contempt; but why descend
to mere personal abuse and ribaldry
and defamation? Who does not see
that these weapons-always distasteful
to lust and honorable minds-and re-
garded as mournful evidences of de-
basement in the most skillful hands:
become utterly disgusting when the
epithet or the insinuation is blurted
out in coarse language and limping
rhetoric? As Hamlet said to the play
erS, "Oh, reform it altogether" Let
Us shake off these shackles Of an I'm.
worthy partisanship. Let the press
cease to be the mouthpiece of indi-
vidual aspirants; let us approximate
as near as possible, among ourselves,
to the impersonality of the English
method. Let us give the profession
new dignity, and, therefore. increased
character, among our countrymeu, and
tbus unitedly mise it's influence to a
higher level, and spread 1t over
broader field.

"TI,e Newspaper "

A careful perusal of the article thus
entitled, on our first page, will give
people some idea, however faint and
imperfect, of the labor and pains-taking
which are requisite to the getting up
of newspaper. We commend it to
thoughtful perusal, as people need
to know and think more on the subject
TO complete view of the subject,
the constantly recurring editorial cares
and labors must be taken into the ac-
count. In order to this we annex
the following pregnant passage W hich
has been frequently copied but can not
be too often reprinted:
EDITORIAL LIFE.-There is SO
much of truth in the, following from
the pen of Capt. Marryatt, that we
must be allowed to quote it. But few
readers ever think of the labor and
care devolving upon an editor-who
vastly feels his responsibility. Captain
Marryatt: says Il know how a peri.
odical will wear down ones existence,
In itself it appears nothing; the labor
is not manifest nor is it in the labor; it is
the continual attention it requires.
Your life becomes as it were the publ
cation. One days paper is no sooner
corrected and printed, than on comes
another. tits the stone OF Sisyphus,
an endless repetition of toll, and con-,
slant weight upon the intellect and
spirits, demanding the exertion of your
faculties, at the same time you are
compelled to the severest drudgery.
To write for paper is very we'll, but
to edit one is to condemn yourself to
slavery"
