We are always ready to acknowledge a
favor, but really, Mr.. Gazette, you ask
too much ofus this time. Our poor sJER,
whom YOU lampooned SO cunningly, in
your elegant extra g Hoe-EvE," says it's
aleelle too much; and that you must con-

as well as when you strike.
APPOINTMENT BY THE PRESIDENT.
JAMES larke, Of Iowa to be Secretary
of the Territory, in the place of William
B Conway, deceased.--Globe.
While coming our editorials, we have
often worked ourself into a cordial paper
rancour towards the made secretary,
but that does not prevent us from speak.
ing our mind freely without fear of being
misconstrued, and saying that we rejoice
heartily in the good fortune which has be-
fallen him. At the same time that our
pen shall be as vigiant of him or his sue
cessor--should he decline the editorial
chair-it will be matter Of pride with us
that another is added to the long list of
those who. profting by the wisdom they
have dissected from the case, type by
type. and made up in the form, have be-
come worthy of stations as exalted as that
our fellow-editor is now called to occupy.
|! lie has been promoted to fill no less than
the second office in this Territory, and
should the Governor die or abscond, Mr..
Clarke will find the whole executive GO
vernment resting upon his shoulders. We
say nothing in regard to his business
qualifications for the office--that being g
matter of minor consideration nowadays.
"AGAIN TO TIE CHARGE, AcHA1Aus. -
Will the Gazette accept our challenge and
prove Martin Van Buren, to have been a
true democrat in the New York State Con-
vention, or not? Will you say yes or no!
This clawing off, ga la crab'' with your
face to the foe wont answer. The voters
Of this territory wait to know whether
Martin thought them capable of self gov
eminent or not. We have told those who
believe in our paper that he did not-thal
, he was federalist-and was opposed &c
, con6ding that power in the people al
large, which they now exercise--the pow
er of voting. There is still a respectable
I. portion waiting to hear what you have te
/, say to them. They look to you to satisfy
e ITEM on that point. For if Van Burer
a did really dis;rust the capacity of the pee
Y pie for self government, he evidently does
! not understand what they are and is unfi
J. to rule them. Speak
