"A 10 his moral character &c. Therefore | do

The above as well as the following looks quite
little for "scieLtic" gentleman like DrS Tate,
Wlnte and myself to be engaged in; but
will still follow Soloman's advice "answer fool
according to his folly" | will eUqulte from
whence Is Mr. Winter and who is he! A gentleman
Of our city informs me that he is the same Win
isr who rambled about through Tennessee teach.
Ing twenty day Grammar schools. Well, have
no objection TO that, ike to see a man going
about doing good, especially ifhe pockets a lit.
tie change by it. In the next place, he was
quite an 0fficlous member of christian church,
uoobection agan;but would have liked him much
better if he had continued in the chulch. And
IN the last place, just, before he proclaimed hun.
self Doctor, he was candidate for The office Of
Constable, but it appears that the people had not
confidence enough in him, TO elect him. So
much then for the history of Dr. Winter; and his
very "unenyiabe character in TENNESSEE"
But who is this DR. Tale! Well, he is one Of
those folks who, good portion of his life, has
been sucking treasury pap or IN o'ner words
vas long time mail contractor, and for ought
know driver, and Judging tom the little he
appears 10 know about the characterize OF levers
Of last summer, as may be seen in hs comments
On my report Of symptoms, &c, OF Mr. Hun.
phres boy, | would Judge that he is now better
qualified for a stage driver, or to doctor horse
Ior the swlnney or BOTS, than he is to desc lbe
fever or administer medicine to man.
will now come to "a close by saying, that | do
not expect to notice the NJ DIS any mora. | have
@en brought to this conclusion, in part, by tho
ADVICE OF many Of our most worthy citjzens,-
whose language have almost universally BEEN
"sye them rope enough aud they will hang them
selves Ii had known at first that they we've
capable of using such language as they have, |
can assure you, that never would have coude'
scended ~ notice them.
