4EEe e aye sz!st lli.aE 4ee have hrnneht tho ed itor, or someoae for hsm, out in defence of. the Delegate We take great intercstin all that concernB him, and are sorry to hear that he has aeen sick. His editor should have issue4reguIar bulletins concerning his health. He explains the cause ot hls si- lence, and pleads guilty in part. Of course we are bound to give full belief to his ex- cuses-but We would like to inquire wheth- CT he has not been alittie influenced by the fact that the Delegate has been acting as attorney, at Nashngtoncity, for Col. Wm. Russell, of St. Louis-and that he, the ed itor, has no share of the profits CT Perqai- sites?

 The Delegate is a great advocate for pre-empton rights, and the editor is delight ed at il. Does he know any thing of eer- tain patents, received by the Delegate and now in lis hands, applying to lands already coveredby pre-emption claims justly valid, though defeated by the zeal and perseve- rance of the Delegate. In his love for the people, he is struggling for pre-emption rights--but the fee! ay, that cannot be let slip! What is the interest of the people, compared with the interest of one's pocket!

 But, long live the Delegate! We would not pluck asingle laurel from his brow, for they are thin enough there, heaven knows. And long lire his editor to defend him! If ever he obtains laurel, he shall be, as far as we are concerned, as welcome to it as the Delegate to his.
