GAzArrE ENyy.-Who ever heard
Of the Gazette man relo,cicing in the pros
perity Of any one but himself. Avsrice has
So belittled his soul n 10 make him JEALOUS

their increase was So much withholdsn from
himself IN Yesterday mornings issue the
Gazette forms its LEADER out OF notice
of our enlargement, and gets of some Of the
biggest whoppers OF the season to CRAFTY
its malignant feelings. The State Delno' rat

nun than thu Gazette, and q better paper ~
every respect, il We can take the sense OF
the public as the rule OF Judging. lts CIR
culation both daily and weekly, its manner
Of publishing news on. day ahead of its III
walls, its liberal notices Of our business men
aud the growts and prosperity OF the city
has made il superior to the Gazette, IN the
period Of less than one year, during which
tune the Gaze te has attacked us with vir'
uience which reacted to the disadvantage
OILY Of that polluted sheet. The course
which the Gazette has pursue J the past year
has 50 damaged its circulation ss 10 leave It
a mere skeleton Of what il was |, has
tried TO build itself mp on falsehoods and
misst atements and has s,gnally failed. We
pity, but We dc no, envy the sickly COZ
