commend to every reader
As to the manner in which an editor’s
time is employed, a great deal is to be
said. He enjoys no credit for any thin^
but what appears in the leaded or edito
rial columns : when» in reality, that is
far from being the most arduous part of
his employment. The perusal of papers
received j selecting matter for republica-
tton j pruning it of redundancies so as to
render it capable of admission, and
digesting the whole with a view to furn
ish something on every topic of tempor
ary interest in such space as he may
have: all these, though they are not
otJtwardly apparent, require a good deal
«jt labor and consume a great deal of time.
After these parts of his tank are discharg-
ed, he sits down to commune with his
readers in the original department ; but
he often does so with a mind distracted
and fatigued by his previous occupations.
The present fashion among the ladies,
of wtaring enormous bonnets, witli a
profusion of gaudy ribbons and feath
ers, has incurred the higli dir.pleasore {.f
our witty friend the editor of H;e liosinn
before the next elections, the bencfi
which the country has derived from a
Jackson majority in Congress.

The Previous Qvcstion.—The legitimafe
object ot the Previous Question is to tenn'
iuale a protradted discus$ion. Yesterd ay i i
was used in the House oi Representatives
to prevent any Discussion on the case of
the Six Militia Men. Mr. Sloane's re
solution on this subject had been refer
red to a Committee appointed by a Jack
son Sj)eaker, and consisting of seven
members, of whom at least Five were
Jackson men. 1l hey made a whitewasnh-
ing report, on which discussion was
gagged by the Previous Question. No mat
er—the documents will now be before
the People J and though they are arrang
ed, or to speak more properly, deran^si/^
by the Heroites in a way calculated to
produce a deceptive impression, “ Truth
is Mighty, and will prevavil.” We shall
say more—much more—of this deed that
