Martinsburgh Gazette

We copy the annexed account of Mr. Kremer, from the New York Commercial Advertiser. This gentleman having acted a conspicuous part in the Politics of the country, some information respecting him, even at this time may not be unacceptable.

"Kremer is a strong, broad-shouldered, coarse looking Pennsylvania farmer, with a florid face and short, stiff, sandy hair. His dress is often slovenly, but his mind is sturdy and vigorous, and when much excited, he utters a deal of plain sound sense, directly to the point. Nothing can be more dissonant than his voice, or more odd and awkward than his gesticulation. I wondered when I first saw him how such a man ever came on the floor of Congress, where he certainly seemed a sort of anomaly; but I afterwards ceased to wonder; and considering the republican complexion of our institutions and habits it is not surprising that a man with an amount of spirit which approaches to turbulence, a strong voice, vehement manner, a German tongue, and long habits of political contest, should at length make his way to this floor, from a State like Pennsylvania. They say he is a prime shot with a rifle, and dreads nothing.--Should this unhappy business end in the arbitrement of "honor" (falsely so called,) the issue is likely to be a fatal one. You know more than one duel has been fought here with muskets, and why not with rifles? Great blame must certainly attach to him if his letter rests on mere rumour, which is, undoubtedly, the case. On the other hand, scarcely less is due to the intemperate manner in which that letter was noticed. All good men will regret both, especially, considering the unfortunate juncture at which this match has been applied to all the gunpowder in the nation,"
