snatch too, when you can, with as much determination, fury and veracity, as ever do the most fierce and hungry of canine contenders for the possession of a half-picked bone. This species of ignoble warfare has, of late, by certain conductors of our Island Press,- with whom, Sir, I am happy to be able to say, it would be very unjust to couple you—been carried on too long and with it licence truly intolerable ; epccially by one individual who, without provocation, and in the mere spirit ofriliald wentonness, to show his imaginary ta- lent, has sought occasions for assuiling the private characters of such individuals as ho dreads to encoun- ter fairly or with equal arms in the arena of public do- bate ; and the practice has I am sure, materially tended to do rade those who have indulged in it, in the estimation of every man of sound judgment and pure taste amongst their readers.

But, prone as newspaper editors are, in this respect, “to run a-muck, and tilt at all they meet;” it is, on the other hand, much to be regretted, that at times when their pens might, and ought to be brought into action, and their knowledge, talents, and tact be well employed for the general good,—should they find themselves un- summoned to the field for the defence of their party or “feudal lords,” they are too well contented to take their case in their arm chairs and allow the general

ood to take care of itself.

Such sloth or indifference, on the part of the Press, with respect to any object of general interest, most un- doubtcdly merits reprchension; cvcn although it should be admitted, as I think it ought, that editors are occa- sionally entitled to an extra nap, especially when “a lull” in political strife, or literary warfnrc, seems to afford them a fair opportunity to unbcnd and lay aside their bows. But, should any of you now forgot that you ought indeed to be—as you often profess you are- thc independent, faithful and watchful guardians ofthe
