| TYPE STIcKERs.-We casually mentioned a
| day or two ago, that the new elected Mavor of


Baltimore was short time since ourneyman
printer. The instances are not rare in which


those bred to the profession of printing have be-


come distinguished and honored. To say nothing
of Franklin, the beacon light Of the craft we have
in our day more than one instance of this homo
rable distinction. Isaac Hill, the Governor of
New Hampshire, was once a journeyman printer;
Samuel L. Armstrong, late Mayor of this city,
was once journeyman printer; Mr.. Knapp, the
Secretary Of STATE in Vermont was printer.
And what is of more consequence, in the editorial
profession, some of the most distinguished were
regularly bred in the craft Our neighbor Greene.
the popular editor Of the Morning Post, was once
ragged little roller-boy. Mr.. Homer, of the Ca
zette, was brought up on plea and brevier. We
recollect, many years since, of seeing tow-hesd-
ed. overgrown boy, in an obscure printing Office
in Vermont. The boy is now Mr.. Greely, the
talented editor of the New Yorker. OF equally
obscure origin was the editor of the New York
Spirit of the Times, Mr.. VIM. II. Porter.


The first we ever saw of Deacon Weld the edi.
tor of the New York Sun, and clever writer for
various magazines, &C., in a printing Office
at Lowell, when he was no higher in grade than
.printer's devil" The truth is, if a bow has ge


MUS, the art of printing will draw it out and set il
to work. Printers, with the same amount of ma
tural talent always make the mos, popular edi-
tors, because they imbibe ,he fGcf of the profess
sion. Schooled among the '..vpes and shadows
they have every opportunity of studying public
taste, and of dlversiiying their minds SO as to
meet the various wants uf their various readers.
The discipline of their minds may not be so Sc


we're and rigid as that required for eminence in The


legal professions; but this is peculiarity which th
great mass of readers care nothing about, and it
is not untavorable to free interchange Of ind
with mind. 7aci--givc Us editorial tact. : i our
profession it is every thing.
