We have the pleasure and profit, OF
pain, as the case may be, Of reading every
paper printed in the State of Florida.
We look to the receipt Of nearly all Of
them rs to the meeting of friends or
pleasant acquaintances, and OF the Others
as an unpleasant necessity OF our occu-
patton. These latter may be- told off on
less than the digts OF the two hands
The very few, are those papers which,
though refusing TO be classed as straight
out republican, continue their mischievous
or malicious work of warning against the
unity of the democratic party, and SIAN
dering the very able and upright admin
istration that it placed in charge OF pub
lie affairs or of assailing individuals.
This evil work can be traced directly to
personal causes involving lack Of sense
or innate viciousness, or reckless antago-
nism engendered by disappointed aspi-
rations-and there is yet another cause and
that is the "vanity of vice." the desire to
excel in smart, bitter words as the rough
does in hard, cruel blows upon the object
of his assault ruffian impulse in both
cases, desire to int1ict punishment"
an instinct which il brutal, but being in
human creature with an intellect is
worse than british. The intellect uncon-
trolled by principle owns small amena-
bility to conscience, and the qualification
of wicked impulse is not restrained by
the apprehension Of remorse, or of the
condemnation Of the worthy. The burg
lar is proud of the distinction of being
an adroit craftsman, and why should not
a "journalist," also without principle, de-
light to prey upon the fair fame of hon
est men as the other does upon their
property And which is the more crimi-
nal of the two? "Who steals my purse
steals trash; but who steals my good
name," &c
A century and more, and less, ago the
misuse Of types was one of the crying
sins of corrupt period in England, for
smart, malevolent knaves - feloniously
smart, UNANIMOUSLY literary - skulked in
printing slums Of London and anony-
mously stabbed regulations for living,
for the baser sort eagerly bought their
pennyworths Of the witty and venomous
scurrility that assailed the good repute
or fortune that they envied. Human ma
ture is very much the same now as here
tofore the same taste exists for reading
what is spicily vicious, and the same
base talent ready to cater TO that taste
and add profit to the qualification of spite
and morbid malignity. Hence We may
not be surprised that such publications
find support, for that they can get with
out accompanying approval; such paper
is taken by many just "to see what the
thing says" not because these readers be-
leve or approve what it says. All wares
find purchasers, and some OF the worst
the most More dime novels are sold
than tracts-indeed, the latter have to be
given to obtain their circulation

LOUISVILLE, Oct PA few Southern gentle
men, headed by Col j. H. E,till proprietor OF
The Savannah Morning Neos, and s. T. Jenkins,
OF Atlanta, Ga, contributed 81 900 TO be given
in premiums to the Southern newspapers pub
Listing the best articles on the material develop
ment of the South or their own particular local
ity, to be delivered al the Southern Exposition
To aid in attracting immigration and capital
The convention of representatives of the con
testing papers met yesterday and appointed Ma
jcr O. II M"wling, of Arkansas, o. NJ Crosby
OF New York City, and Prof VIM. A Fcntaine,
competing articles. These gentlemen met 10
night and awarded the following prizes:
First premium, for dailies. Savannah -Ncrning

Amrricus (Ga) Recorder. 800.
The judges further recommended that The re-
n,anng $500 he appropriated ior gold medals,
aus ilai each remaining competing paper be- pre-
seH,ed with one.
OF course it was fortunate for some
one Of the above successful competi-
tors that the FLoRIDIAN did not enter for
prize-but then We won't have any gold
medal either-jus, nothing! Gentlemen
of the press, please speak up each one Of
you who has won medal-not "conso-
lation purse" but testimonial for doing
your best in laudable and useful emula-
ton. Did any Florida paper enter an
edition in competition for the prizes
offered by the generous and pubIic-spirited
Estill, the king of the Georgia press?

Politics make strange bed-fellows.
Now, while the North and West are rap
idly enlisting in the Democratic ranks
and the South liz encouraged with the
bright hope that the national government
will change hands, and that the people
will put in Democratic President next
ycar--with all this tide of public affairs
turning in our favor, We have the spec
tacle of men in the South attempting to
separate the good old Democratic party
by uniting with the Republican party.
Will the Republicans of Florida 60 over
to the Independents or will the Independ-
ents go over to the Republicans, is the
question.

GO SLOW ON NEW ENTERPRISES.

| Wichita must look out that her local
taxes are not made too heavy. A good
many promising towns in Kansas have been
ruined by local taxation. In spirit OF ILL
timed, or ill-advised enterprise, burthens
have been assumed In the shape Of bonds
for improvements until the tax OF such
towns have rendered real estate undesira-
BILE property. 1t IL an easy matter to %
burthen q new place with taxes - to kill
it. Smart, wide-awake business men won't
hold property, or attempt to do business In
town where the local taxes eat up their
profits, but will sell out and get out at any
price, leaving the less enterprising and less
thoughtful to drag out . lifetime in grum-
bling and watching their hopes decay.
These burthens, nine times out Of ton, are
forced upon . town by adventurers and
non.property holders, who manage to get
the public ear and public confidence, but
who drop ont Of sight when things NO
longer boom. There are schemes now be-
ing developed that should be watched, and
nipped in the bud by those who have the
taxes to pay, for by consulting your tax
statement for this year you will see that we
have gone about rs far as we ought for the
present. Wichita has been q wonderfully
prosperous town in all her past years, and
her boast has been that for years her peo-
paid no city taxes. This is the first year
that taxes have been heavy enough to be
felt, and we urge economy and slow pace
until our increased taxable property again
makes the burthen light.
