There tire “mountain crackers” (videde-. scription of life on Cro’ nest, by Si mon Crowell,) there are “YVTstei w crackers,” and there are— “ Crackers” of whose k ‘crackerisms” ; we propose to speak. The Lexicon says, “Cracker, —a hard biscuit ; a barbarous wagoner from the interior of the southern states.” On the 20th. we arrived at Fort pitched our tents, iti the manner of the Israelites dm ing their wander ings through tlir wilderness, we were waited on by squire , a most notable specimen of a “ cracker.” “Gentle tncii” said he, (with a most peculiar emphasis on the ulti mate) —“I onderstund you perpose disbanding the bridge across the rivyer at this place. lam sorry to hear t his, for I hat thar bridge cost an ’mazin deal of labor.

The dancing was peculiarly “cracker,” consisting of those movements of the pedestals generally known as “double trouble,” “juba,” aud other equally energetic and graceful steps.

Unless we are widely mistaken in’ our judgment, the recent Messngo of Mr. Van Buren is a document which will he read with honest pride by who stood at his side iii the recent contest, while it is cub ul:.ted to cause emotions of profound re gret in the bosoms of many who opposed him, at having si ffered themselves to he tempted by delu sive clamor into hostility to a wise and patriotic statesman and to the supremacy of those principles which, sooner or later, must he relied upon to secure the lasting welfare of the corntry.
