Editing a Paper.
But few pursuits have un idea of
the requirement** necessary for an
editor. An opinion prevails tliatan
editor is in a continual strain for
mutter to publish. They seem to
think we are all cousumers aud no
producers: this is a groat mistake.
The trouble in conducting a paper is
pot so much to know what to pub
lish, but what to loavo out. Wo
cannot publuh everything, ami
sometimes in our selection, we think
of the man who wont to cut him a
finhing rod from a cane break, ho
found plenty that wore fine, but
thought he could do better, and thus
left some of tho finest ones. We
sometimos think wo cun do better
and wo often pass by many good ar-
ticles hoping to find better ones.

Anton pf the -Hth tlio following
message transmitted by the Presi-
dent. to Congress the day before:
TV ti|t, Senate and House of Represen-
taiirm.—I transmit the copy of
dispatoli from Gov. Cvmming to tho
Secretary of State, dated at Great
Salt toko City, on the 2nd Of Btny
and rO|Hved at the.. Department of
S ato ün yesterday. -From this
there is reason to boUove that our
Íifficultics with tl*fr Territory of
ftaq have terminated, and tlio reign
of the Constitution and the lawa
has buen restored. I congratulate
yOuonthis aupicious event.
I loso no timo in communicating
this information, and in expressing
an opinion that there will be no oc-
casion to make an/ oppropriationa
for the purposo of calling into ser-
vice the two regiments of volun-
teers authorized by the act of Cou-
!press approved on the 1th of April
ast "for Jto purposo of quelling .
disturbances in the Territory of
Utah, for tho the protection of sup-
ply and emigrant trains, and the
suppression of Indian hostilities on
tho frontier."
I am tho more gratified at this
satisfactory intelligence from Utah,
becauHO it will «fiord some relief to
tho Ticsury at a time demanding
from us the strictest economy, and
when tho question which now
arises upon every appropriation iar
whether it bo of a character so im-
portant and urgent as to brook uo
delay, and tn justify and require a
loan, and most probably a tax upon
thopeoplo'to raiRe tho money neces-
sary for its payment.
In rcgar¿ to the regiment cf vol-
unteers authorized, by the same act
of Congress,- to be called into service
for tho deienue of tho frontiiira! of
Texas against Indian hostilities, I
desire to leave this question to Con-
gress, observing, at the samo time,
that, in my opinion, this State can
be defended for the present by tho
regular troops, -iwhich have not yet
been withdrawn from its limits.
