week matters reqniriur his personal attention
will be noticed hereafter.
General Harrison's Poverty.
The Whig party clamor most pathetically
about their candidate's beinu a poor man, and
a hard-cider and log cabin" candidate. Let
me people understand the lacts, and such un
becoming artifices are sure to recoil on those
who practice them. It is a frequently repeated
fact that Harrison resides in no log cabin, but a
splendid mansion on a farm of two or three
thousand acres. It is another fact that he has
been an office holder under the General Gov
ernment Irom earlv manhood to old ace, and
now seeks another, when bordering on second
childhood. It is also a fact, that Irom these
offices he has pocketed some 70 or 90,000 dollars
It is also a fact, that those who nominated him.
not content with hard-cider, cracked some 40 or
50 bottles of champagne between Baltimore and
Vashington. These things require merely to
be mentioned to show what rediculous clamor
this is about poverty and hard-cider.
Glorious Democratic Triumph,
At the late charter election in the city of New
York, the Democrats elected their Mayor by
an increased majority of many hundred and
carried 12 out of 17 Wards. Truly this is a
cheering victory. The Whigs look sad fbr they
remember the old saying. "As goes the city,
so ffoes the State of New York."

Edward J. Hale, in the Observer ofthis week.
having wantonly and unnecessarily introduced
be lore the public, the names ol the undersigned
in an article under the head of "duelling." Jus
tice to truth to the public, and to ourselves
individually demand that a public explanation
ol the lacts be made that the public judgment
may be lormed correctly. And be I ore proceed
ing to the nomts of particular importance, the
undersigned feel impelled to say, that while they
are determined to give ali the facts of the case;
they regret the cause which thus unnecessarily
bnnjrs private gentlemen belore the public.
Ihe billowing is the article Irom the INorfli
Carolinian, upon which Air. Hale is remarking.
"When the Editor of the Observer comes ofTbetter
than we are informed he did, in an aff iir of honor
in which he figured very little like a man fond of
"burning powder," it may become him belter to talk
about the, "challenger and challenged" in the mat
tor of Judje Saunders' private affairs of this sort.
Until then, wo recommend, that he write less about
his neighbors' short comings in such matters. We
should take care to pu'l out the beam out of our
own eye, before we pretend to see motes in the eye
of others."

Mr. HAmes: Sir, Knc'osd we senJ you (or

waieh we received from Gen. Harrioi's "Confi
dential Conm;i:t e," in reply to one which we ad
dressed him on the 28lh ot In Ft December. This
letter we wish you to invite all to call and see, both
Whigs and Democrats, as we understand a eimilar
one addressed to the "Oswego Association" has
Deen branded y some ot the VV big Journals as a
"base forscrv."
We h:tve to raf ret that we have unfortunately
mi-lai.l th.ic-ipv of our leMer to Gen. Harrison.
We hope yet 10 ba able to lay our hands on if, but
as tae publication of tliis correspondence will i'.i a'l

4th. What arc your views, in regard to a Tariff
of Protect'oa a Bank of the United State, and of
Internal Improvement by the General Government.
HARRISON'S REPLY.
Cincinnati, Feb. 22d, 1840.
Messrs. Terry, Cole, and Sinclair.
Gentlemn: Your letter of th? 28:h Dec. ad
dressed to Gen. Harrison, has been delayed thus
Ions; in consequence of the almost innumerable
calls of a similar kind, and from all sections of the
United States. These have, at last, so multiplied,
as to render it impracticable, absolutely, for the
General to respond in person.' The fluty, therefore,
devolves upon ihs und rsigned, members of his cor
responding, and, we may add, Confidential Com
mittee: and if th:? policy hereafter observed should
not meet your entire approbation, you will, v-e trust,
attribute tne error rather to ourselves, than l-reneral
Harrison. That poliey is; that tht. General make
no further declaration of principle tor the public
eye, wnusi ocennyms nis present position."
Such course has been recommended and adopted,
not tor purposes of concealment, nor to avoid all
proper responsihility, but, under the impression
that the General's views in regard to all the impor
tant and exciting questions of the day have been
heretofore given to the public fully and explicitly;
and that thase views, whetherconnected with con
stitutional or other questions of general interest,
Jjave undergone neither charge nor modification.
The committee are now embodyins in pamphlet,
those former expressed opinions, which shall be for
warded to you at the earliest moment; and which,
WK Di-neve, will prove satisfactory. ' They - are
strengthened in regard to the propriety of the poli
cy, that Gen. H. make no new issue to the public,
from the consideration that the National Conven
tion deemed it imnr.liHc nt ih hm nriU lnnA ihe

Cheering Prospects.
The American patriot lias cause to flatter
himself that his country will yet he relieved Irom
the calamitous misrule of Bank Dynasty.
We might fill our columns with the good
news irom rsevv xork, ruetv urleans, unio,
Michigan and other sections besides Democrat

literally rivaling each other in the good cause.
Glad tidings reaoli us from all "sections.

Meetings of the People.
The proceedings of Democratic Republican
meetings 111 the counties of Macon, Ashe, Lin
coln, Surry, Currituck, Martin and Lenoir, are
published in the North Carolina Standard.
These proceedings evince a proper spirit, and
show that the Democracy the real people, are
wide awake, and properly appreciate the great
principles involved in the coming contest. We
regret that we can nut publish these proceedings
in extenso.
Hard Times and Low Prices.
I is a well ascertained fact, from the Report
of the Secretary of the Treasury, that in one
year the banks contracted upwards of 28,000,000
of dollars. Is not this sudden contraction, with
abundant crops, enough to produce low prices?
It is all fudge, to cry out about Van Buren and
the Sub-Treasurv.
Ont ot their own mouths they stand Con
demned,
We call the attention of the reader to the fo'low
ing extract from the speech of Mr. Lincoln, of Mas
sachusetts, in relation to the charges of the Whig
(Federal) parly, about the furniture in the Presi
dent's House. Mr. L. is a Whig, and bis conduct
contrasts honorably with the conduct of many of his
Federal Whig friends, who so far from doing Mr.
Van Burtn justice in any particular studiously
misrepresent bis every act.
He, Mr. L. was no friend of Mr. Van Buren, but
he would do him the jusliee to say that, il theie was
any thing wrong in relation to the furniture of the
W hite House, tlie President was not to blame for
it. On the contrary, he, Mr. L. knew his treat dc
lieacy on the sul j -ct, and would assure gentlemen,
that, wh.never the committee had consulted the
President in relation to any additional furniture, he
had invariably expressed the greatest reluctance to
have any thing expenoea tor that object. He, Mr.
L. would state, from his own knowledge, that not a
single article of fu.mture s:p;Hed dining the last
three year?, had heen supplied at the request of the
President himselt. 1 he committee alone were an
swerable, and they would assume the responsibility.
But so far was the President from desiring any ad
ditions made to the furniture, that, about two years
ago, it actually Decame necessary lor nirnseir ana
the other members of the committee to do what he
had never done befire, nor would he ever do it
again. Did gentlemen wish to know what that
was? He would tell them. It was to go through
every room in another man's house, -to see bow
much furniture he wanted, and what conveniences
were reauircd. He hoped that jrentlemen wou'd
Now, the points to which public attention is
requested, are these:
1. Mr. Hale in allusion to the undersigned, says
"I have a right to presume.that either the prin
cipal or the second of that principal in the affair
alluded to above, has either authorized or per
mitted the publication of the above insinuations."
The fact u not so. It was the editor 3 own ar
ticle written and published without the "autho
rity or permission,1' or knowledge ol one or ei
ther of the undersigned.
And in audition to tins ilr. Hale had more
reason lor presuming that the editor ol the
North Carolinian obtained bis impressions from
common rumor because in this very article.
he (Mr. Hale,) says that in 1S34 'he heard
from citizens ofthis town, that the most shame
less falsehoods were in circulation in regard to
the affair.
2nd. Mr. Hale uses this language "Dr. Cam
eron proposed that i should select some friend
with whom he might confer" "lo settle the differ
ence amicably:" and conveys the idea that this
proposition was made after the challenge was
received and that he (Hale,) then consented,
and the challenge was withdrawn.
1 he facts are not so. On the contrary, Mr.
Ha le, alter perusing the first note of Mr. Henry,
asking an avowal or disavowal of the insult
complained ol, and belore any cnaiienije was
iriven, Slated that he would consult a friend and
give an answer. The proposition for the with
drawal ol ihe challenre was not made by IJr.
Cameron but by E. L. W inslow, Esq. a friend
of Mr. Hale, to enable Mr. Hale to make the
explanation which he afterwards did make.
3. Mr. Hale by his published article would
make the impression that he did not consult with
Ins friend relative to the dispute, until after he
was challenged. "e fact is not so. tie did
consult with his friend, Mr. E. L. Winslmv
after Mr. Henry's note, asking an explanation.
and before any challenre was borne.
A just public cannot but plainly perceive the
true character ol this extraordinary conduct.
How stands the case? Mr. Hale is offended
at an editorial article in the North Carolinian,
and instead of attacking the author of that arti
cle, he unnecessarily and wantonly "presumes
tiiat two private gentlemen "authorized r per
mitted the publication of the article : He brings
before the public, an affair, honorably buried a-
inoner the events ol the past: so far as the con
duct of those gentlemen is concerned, and after
Dublishinir to the world his scruples about
murdering," or neinr "murdered, he gives an
additional evidence of his pacific temperament
ny urayrtrtntr uie names 01 private sjcmicuicu
before the public, insinuating thai so far
as the challenge was concerned, there was in
sincerity and a mere show of fight, without the
"slightest idea" of il; thereby designing to make
their conduct appear ridiculous and cowardly,
and thus inflictiiigan additional wound and oner
ing a ne:v insult.
We are determined that the mthlic shall un
derstand this matter, therefore the correspon
deuce with a narrative of the transaction is pub
lished.
In confirmation of the statement we have
made, we publish the following note addressed
by Doctor Cameron to Mr. L. W inslow
and his reply thereto.

To the Public.
A pubucaTidn in the Fayettevih ? Observer of
the S22nd instant, over the signature of E. J.
Hale, renders it necessary that ali the facts con
nected with the transaction to which he alludes,
should be published. Having taken a part in
that transaction, I will briefly state the circum
stances, and give the correspondence which en
sued.
On the 23d day of August 184, 1 carried from
Louis D. Henry, Esq. to E. J. Halej the sub
joined letter:
Fayetteville, Saturday Morning,

Edward J. Hale, Esq.
Sir, During my absence from home this
week, in attendance on Sampson County Court,
I was informed for the first time, lhat on the
day of our late town election, and while I was
addressing? my party on the necessity of main
taining good order, that you in an open and
public manner proposed to your party, or the
slanders by, to give my address three groans.
If such insulting conduct did proceed from you,
the noise and confusion of the occasion prevent
ed me from hearing it, or it would have been
brought-to your attention at an earlier date.
Whatever degree of toleration, such an oc
casion might demand towards so gross an insult,
proceeding from an inferior source, your station
11 society forbids that 1 should overlook it.
Ttie purpose of this communication is to ask
mm you a plain avowal or disavowal of the
conduct imputed to you; and on the contingen
cy that you avow it, such an apology as is die
tated by a ptoper respect lor my leelinrs and
your own character, for an insult so gross and
unprovoked. Ke-spectlully it ours,

On reading this communication, Mr. Hale re
marked, that he would give me an answer in
the course of the day in the afternoon of that
day, while passing (on horseback) the hook store
of Mr. Hale, he called to me, holding a note in

which I lound to be addressed to myself, the

My Dear Sir, In a Note handed to me this morn

Mr. L. then pave some particulars of the condi
tion of the White House, when it was visited by the
committee, before it was left by the late President
Jackson.
He 83id there was one room occupied by tho
Private Secretary of the President, with his wife
and family. In that room there were three old
chairs, a stained wahsstand, and a shabby old-fash

the acceptation of that word on such occasions,)

Hale had slated to me. that he had declined accept
ing the challenge and that he would accept one from
no man.
The proposition was made by me to withdraw the
challenge or consider it as withdrawn, believing.
that the affjir could be amicably settled: whether
this was with or without Mr. Hale's assent, I can
not tXow say. Yours &c
E. L WINSLOW.

Fayetteville, August 23, 1834.
Dr. Thomas N. Cameron.
Dear Sir, After reflection, my impression is con
firmed, that the language of Mr. Henry's note is
such as to make it improper for me to reply to it-
Should Mr. H. think proper to withdraw that note.
and make his tequest in language, proper for me
to receive, 1 am ready to answer it.
Kespectlully,
E. J. HALE.
This was on Saturday: I did not see Mr,
Henry until tiie following Monday, he having
left town for his sand-hill place, soon after giv
ins me his note to Mr. Hale.
On Monday, I gave Mr. Henry, Mr. Hale's
note to turn, written on Saturday aliernoon,
and he immediately wrote the following to Mr
Hale:
Fayetteville, August 25, 1S34.
Edward J. Hale, Esq.
Sir. On the 23d inst. I addressed a communica
tion to vou informins you that I had heard durinj
iny absence at Sampson bounty oourt, 01 conduct
used by you towards tne of a very insulting nature
on the day of our late J. own election; as by reter-
tmce to that commuication handed you by my friend
Dr. Tho. IM. Cameron on the same day, will appear.
That letter in tne opinion 01 my tnena and my own,
was couched in the most respectful lanuase, and
asked you for a plain avowal or disavowal of the
conduct imputed to you, and on the contingency o:
an avowal such an apology as was equally due to
my feelings and to your own character, for an insult
which it avowed, no gentleman could otherwise re
rard than as grossly insulting.
Vou have deigned no other reply to so reasonhle
a request than a note to Dr. Cameron, stating that
the language of my note is such as to make it im
proper for you to reply to. This course on your part
confirms me in the behet that you have wantonly
and grossly insulted me, and are now wanting eithe
in magnanimity to offer the proper atonement for
it, or that you have no disposition to do so. The
only course now left me as a gentleman to pursue
on such an occasion, is to demand of you that satis
faction, which no gentleman ran refuse to accord to
another, under such circumstances, and which you
had the only alternative in your power to avert.
My friend Dr. Cameron will make the necessary
arrangements with you or your fiend required on
such an occasion. Kespectlully, yours
LOUIS D. HENRY.
I delivered this note to Mr. Hale on the day
it was written, after reading it, he made some
remark about his being a member of the Church
and of mv beinir a member, and also of Mr.
Henrv's beinjr a member; to which I replied
lhat while I regretted such a state of things, his
course bad left Mr. Henry no other alternative.
and although 1 was ttic bearer of a challenge to
him. it would nevertherless rrive me pleasure if
1 could with any friend of his, bring about an
amicable adjustment of the difficulty he asked
me then, il I would walk with linn to Mr. H,. L.
Winslow's office, Mr. Winslow being the gen
i.leman with whom he had conferred on the
subject a conveisation took place between Mr,
Winslow and myself, on the character of Mr.
Henrv's first, note, he, contending that it was
not such a note as Mr. Hale ousht to receive,
and that it ouirht to be withdrawn, I, maintain
inr, the reverse ofthis proposition and refusing
lo withdraw the noie. - mis conlerence ended
with a declaration on the part of Mr. Winslow,
lhat I should hear from him in the conrse of the
aliernoon. The afternoon passed, however, and
I did not hear from him late in the evening and
Wist as 1 was lenvin;; home on professional
business, Mr. Winslow came to my house, and
expressed Ins regret at not neing aDle to com
mil n icale with me earlier, as he had promised
and remarked lhat he could not a'llow the nijrht
to pass without making an effort to arrest this
unpleasant business and proposea 10 me to with
draw me cnanenjv, muci i. tivC mr, n
an onnormtiitv of making the necessary expla
nation, which he did not like lo do while the
challenge existed. To this I replied, lhat I was
not authorised hv Mr. Henry to pursue this
course, vet. lo show Mr. Winslow mv willing
nesstoseean amicable adjustment effected, I
would wilfidravv the challenjre until 13 o'clock
the following day, and lhat he might consider
it ns so withrnwn.
On the 27th I received from Mr. Hale the sub
joined note :

Dr. Thomas N. Cameron,
rMr Pir Mv note to vou of Saturday last w
r:,tn under an impression that the not- from Mr
Henry of which you wr re the bearer, was couched
; 1.. ,:,,. not respectful to me, that it contained
a posiitive'amrmaiion that the expression used by me
was "gross and unprovoked,"-that it did not ask an
explanation of the circumstances under which the
expression complained of was used by me, and that
it was not within the contemplation of Mr.. Henry
that any explanation should be offered.
xj nnw satisfactory reasons for believing
hat Mr. Henry did not intend or desire his note to
be thus construed, in any of the particulars. I have
to request the return of my note, and am,
very respccuully, yours ccc.

The challenge having been temporarily with
drawn at the suggestion of Mr. winslofv I re

fully explains itself:

x nai impression having been removed, 1 now
proceed to answer frankly and futfy your inquiry.
At the time I entered the Town House on the
morning of our late election, I was not aware that
there was intended to be' any thing exclusive in the
character cf the assemblage. I therefore did ' not
know that you were addressing your party, if by
me txpicsBion you mean mat you were aauressing
your party alone. It is true that there were very
tew ot the other party present; but I- entered the
room unaer mc impression mat 11 contained a pro
miscuous assemblage. In the course of the re
marks which you made on that occasion, I under
stood your language as conveying a reflection upon
me party 10 which x was attacnea. under the n-
nuence ot the excitement produced by this belief,
1 made the proposition ot which you have been in
lormea.
As I cannot pretend to repeat the words in which
this apparent reflection was conveyed, it may be
proper perhaps to state that the same construction
was put upon your remarks by others around me,
as I afterwards ascertained, and that upon my be
ing appealed to restrain any expression of feel
ing, 1 replied that I would not stand quietly by and
near any reflections cast upon the parly with which
was connected.
The proposition was not directed personally at
you, but was intended to express my disapproba
tion ot the sentiments or language employed on
the occasion.
Bein satisfied I misconstrued your laniruasre. and
such was not the character or bearing of your re
marks, I was thereby betrayed into an expression
wounding to your feelings, and am ready to offer
you tne only atonement in my power, the exprea
sion ot my sincere regret.
Respectful!', yours,
E. J. HALE.

Neto Music. "We have just received from Atwill,
who, by the bye, -is one of our most indefatigable
caterers for the musical world, those long spoken
of "six new songs" by Mooie. They are roost
beautifully published, and the splendid newly de
signed lithographic vignette envelope, is certainly
superior to any thing of the kind heretofore pub
lished. Our lady patrons will doubtless receive a
copy from their anxious swain's; those gentlemen
who wish to pay a Philipino, or present something
both sentimental and pleasing, will do the hand
some thing by adding the above named six songs
to their next parcel of new music for their lady
loves, as they are so tastefully tied up with pink
ribbons as to give them an envious place in their
music collection
