 Editorial quarfeLs.--As far as our observations upon this subject have extended, we have been able to discover no satisfactory reason Hhy an editor should not be gentleman. Although to peruse the s'wrtten insults which daily go 1 the rounds Of the country, one would imagine that instead of gentlemen, the press was man. aged by common street-brawlers.

Thus, public journals destined to tra- vel around the globe, arc filled with gross per sonal abuse, which, if whispered to the indivd- ual against whom t is circulated. would proba- 1 bly create the most fatal consequences. As if an oral remark, uttered where the party is 1 known, and confined to the hearing Of q few, i were more base in its nature, or perniciousin in 1 it's effects, than the multiplied and exaggerated caiumnies which by means of the press, are so widely extended.
