We cannot forego acknowledging the kind and geatlemaafp treatment lately ex-

 tended to us, by our. friend of the Gazette. Perhaps he will remember, (although he is

 rather forgetf1l,) ) that Col. SEVER, who re- turned few days since from Washington,

 for the purpose of informing his consfitu- ents of the condition of their public affairs, brought with him copies of some two or ] three Acts, of deep intereststo the people of this Territory, together with a number of late Washington papers.-4HHThen he ar uved atthe residence of Judge Johnson, his father-in-law, he handed the Acts, pa- pers, Nc. to friend, who had also been absent, and was on bis return, requesting him to hand them to Woodruff, upon con- condition, that he, Woodruff would fur nish the Editor of this paper with copies of the several Acts, and also that he would make division ofsaid papers, in time for us to make such selections as we deemed necessary, for this day's paper. How far SuA - tcftt Oi LiG NdHEttC SoHtp1IEu Wiln the request of Col. SEVER, we win now en- deavor to show.

 The Acts and papers were accordingly received by our.f3aead, and on tue followa ing day, Monday last, he sent us teoo pa pers, viz: a Richmond and Philadelphia pa- per, from which he had been kind enough to cut every syllable of Congressional or other matter worth extracting g-.y yester- day about p o'clock, he had the goodness to send us two Washington papers, reduced by his scissors to mere skeletons, which were of just as much use to Us, as an old number of his Gazette.-'Fhe acts alluded to, we have never yet got a sight of.

 The only inconvenience to us, likely to result from this Faakse Trick, is, that we shall be compelled todefer until next week, the publication of the several Acts above mentioned.

 To Col. SEVER, we tender our thanks, we take the will for the deed.
