The editor Of the Boston Courier thus speaks
OF Mr.. Crockett Of Tennessee, ludricous ac>
coun: Of whose behaviour, we publiahed,
more as a matter Of joke than any thing else,
the other day. Mr.. Crockett it will also be
seen, has thought proper TO notice the piece
alluded 10 himself. We can assure the Hon.

count. "If we would, we hope we may be shot"
The annexed article originally appeared in
Kentucky paper, whence it has been copied
with avidi,y, and is "going the rounds" with
astonishing eclat. We have seen the gentle
man whom it is intended 10 ridicule. He is
no, very accomplished scholar and (what is
much to his credit he makes no piernsions
To intellectual superiority. Like many other
men Of strong minds and common sense, he
had no advantages ofeary education; but he
is exactly thu; sort Of man which true Yam

is Said to possess immense physical strength;
but Notwithstanding that he is said 10 have
boosted tina: he could whip his weight in Wild

good nature, that might well become some
