|ous clergyman, ;n substance, that the

 manner in which the Advocate was ts be conducted would, in great measure

 be under his (Mr. C.'s) saperintend

 told him, or even intimated, that him. sell and Mir. Crittenden, or any person else, ever held such a conversation--- theynever did. Now, Mir.

 As my object never was, and is not now, to defend Mir. Crittenden, I shall therefore pass over that part of claw Bone," relative to that gentleman, and in the hands of other and abler pens, leave it.

 Col. < Jaw BBooirlleen remarks, that $ ae is not in office, and never was in office" in reply, will only say, that he might have added, with peyfeet s5ety, the words nevsr zeiH be sn o5ficc, should the people of the Territory, or even Pulaski county, have voice in filling that office.

 The Col. concludes bysaying, ," "should l accept yourchallenge, were it not vain in me to say it, l would tell you, that even in such a controversy, you would be thrice welcome to all the triumphs you might gain.'' A considerable dis play ofvanity, l will admit, but am not to contest the point with him, for two obvious reasons:-iirsi. write when sJaw- Bone is enjoying thesweets of nocturnal repose-second, l have not at my disposal two such notorious plmps as Billy and Jesse. am willing to do the latter the justice to say, that he has been lately initiated.
