 In the first number of the Advocate, we

 gave pledge to the public, that should

 collision arise between ourselves and the

 Gazette, 1t should originate with the Edi-

 tor of that paper. In the succeeding num-

 Der of the Gazette, the Editor pledged

 himself not to give occasion for breach of

 friendship. How these mutual pledges

 have been kept, is known to the public.---

 We have not violated our pledge, but the

 Gazette has added one more breach of faith

 to those formerly made to the public. The wanton and unprovokea attack made onls in tbe Gazette of the sth inst. shows how utterly regardless of honor, and how undeserying ofconfdence, is the edi- tor of that paper. When he made that pledge, we felt conscious, from our knowl- edge of the man, thatit would soon be vii olated. His jealous mind is incapable of pa- tiently witnessing any thing like opposi- tlon to his avarice, which would eagerly grasp at all, and still be unsatiated. The unprovolxed, and consequently, un- lustiiable attack which he has made upon us, will manifest to the public, the vindic- tive malice of his lille aa.a.a, drawn forth through Erecutiue influence, perhaps de-

 rafsded, as a reward for Eaeeutire patro- snage.
