 Gan tue Gagette inform lis what has be- come of that valuable, faithful and consist ent Delegate of oursl We have distinct recollection of 6 time when the bulletins anent the health and doinss of the Dele gate, were as regular as the Gazette itself i; and whenever inc Triton among the tnin- nows " shook his amJfosiat curis.o the Gsl- zette was certain to issue q quantity of com placent praise--and to talk heroically of the Delegates talents and unwearied ex- ertions. But of late, the bulletins have be- come unfrequent, and praise tas been dealt with a more sparing hand Once or twice we have had ponlpous letter, talking of pushing. bills through the House, but the auantum of laudation has not been forth coming.

We should ike to .knowif any man ever suspected the Delegate of having any sentiments at all! If ever man did, may the Lord forgive him for his simplicity!

 Pre-enption rights are just about as, well '&deiined now, as they were two years ago. md while the Delegate is pushing bills through Congress, so fast that they don't move at all, we should recommend to him to push some bill along. securing to the.
