attempts to answer a certain cominU
nication in the Banner over the signa
ture of at " A Looker Oi" in reply to
"'1'ruth," from Bishpville, concerning
P. S. \VHITE, Temperance, &c., but
being unable to answer "A Looker
On," canters off in a streak of ridicule:
says "A Looker On" has never studi
ed English Grammar, and talks about
a inountaini, " A Looker On," or some
one else, laboring and bringing forth a
nouse, thatl he was present at the de
livery and no doubt acted as niidwilf,
(ciuery: wonder if he will be at the
christening.) iHe gives us to under
stand in very unmistakeable terms
that he is "some uc mpkins," that

v hether prose or poetical writers,

all learnling, ancient and modern, with
giant intellecet anid broad atlanIctan

of Temiperance, '. S. Wairr, and tile
whole coilin:g fry of little bush whack

and also intiianates that he is a 'Theolo

cient or imodern, R-onman, Greek, Cli
tese, or llottentot, he sayetlh not.
One thing. however, relative to his
T 'heology, he has condescended to re
veal, which is that its votaries may
drink as mutc lall-thee, or flot-gut as
they letse and still reimain down

great respectability as suth, and if they

Editiag A Paper.
Hear what the National Intelligen.
cer says about editing a newspaper:
Many people estimate the ability of
a newspaper, and the industry and
talent of its editor by the editorial
natter it contains. It is comparative
ly an easy task tr a frothy writer to
pour oit daily ealunis of words--words
upon any iand all subjects. Ilis ideas
iaty flow in one wishy-washy ev--rlast
ing tiood, and his command of language
moay enable him to string them togeth
er like bunches of onions; and vet his
paper many be a meagre and poor con
eern. But what is the toil of such a
man who displays his leaded matter
largely. to tluit imposel on a judicious,
well-iitormied editor, who exercises his
vocation with an hourly consciousness
of his responsibilities and duties, and
devolves himself to the conduct of his
paper with the same eare and assiduity
tiiat a sensible lawyer bestows upon at
suit, a lannane physician upon a pa
ticnt, vwithout regard to show or dis
pinay ! Indeed, the mnere writing part
of editing a paper is but It small por
tion of the work. The care, the time
employed in selecting, is ihr more in
portant, and the tact of a good editor
better known by his selections than
anything else, and that we all know is
half the hattl-. lBut as we have said,
an editor ought to be estimated, and
his labors understo od and appreciated,
by the general conduct of his paper, its
tone, its temper, its unifiirn consistent
couirse. its principles and aims. its man
liness, its dignity and propriety. To
presirv thes.e as they shlh.id be pre
served. is enough to occupy fully the
tune and aeitietion ofi any anaii. If to
this be ailded the general supervision
oIf the newspaper establishment, which
m o.t editors have to encounter, the
wowile r is how they find time to write
at all.
