QuEREl

We have been often asked by our sub
scribers and friends swho writes the edi-
torials Of the Gazette!'' We have always
answered, 1.-THE editor to be sure;' and
have thought it strange that any one
should, for a moment, doubt their pater
nifty. But we are assured that although
the principal portion Of the short and
pertinent paragraphs are from his pen,
that whenever he is in strait he calls 10
others for relief, and that certain ex-
pectant of Office is required each week,
to till one column or be struck from the
list of aspirants.
Adopting this superstition, we can ac-
count, not only for the generally inflated
state of the Gazette's columns, but for
his delay in the defence Of Martin Van
Buren, from the charge of aristocracy.-
The silent partner, though heaviest man,
Of the Gazette, being somewhat busy,
could not respond instanter TO the edit
or's call, and so there was necessarily a
Ipostponement. Suspense is misery, and
we would rather the friendly stroke
would sever the thread of our poor life
now than have the sword suspended sc
long over us by hair. Who this nigh
ty man Of war; is, who in troublou:
times assumes the defence Of the Ga
zette's yak outposts, we say not. Tie

I's now an interesting topic Of discussion,
a publication of the determination Of the
wings Of this territory to draw the party
lines and raise the question at the mex,
(eiection; and after exhausting his yocabu.
larry Of abuse on Mr. Clay, quietly pre-
sumes majority Of loco-focos to exist in
the territory, and laments the inequality
OF the contest his Eighty genius has
lspled out. Softly, Mr. Editor; the victo-
ry may not be SO easily won as you pre-
tend to imagine-there is some virtue left
in the people, and some stubbon common
Isense you cannot wheedle them out of.
Besides, you judge of your strength by a
bad rule. Usually it is doing people in
Justice by judging them by ones self !; in
your case, you do them more than Justice
and guage their power too highly. Re-
fleet, or try some other measure, and you
may correct your +" most lame and impo-
tent conclusion" You will find when
the contest does come that there is a con.
servative power in the people of this ter.
ritory which will cause them to resist
every approach ola party to power which
:" sacrifices principles to CAPPED ients.''
