Davin Crockett.—This entleman was lately in our city.— He was wailed upon by many citi zens, and received those civil and elite attentions, which are due to onest public servants and to men of integrity. [The Col. appears to be a “plain blunt man,” who speaks as he feels, and who feels and speak correctly on public matters. He was in good health and spirits, and was warm in his expressions of thankfulness for the kindness mani fested towards him by the Philadel phians—particularly on the part of the young men of that city, who pre vented him with the most splendid Rifle we ever saw. The inscription on this Rifle was simple, but it was costly, being inlaid with gold—the motto of Col. Crockett was also ve ry appropriately and neatly wrought on the barrel.
