Dear Sir: Your note of the 25th inst. is before ms. I regret much that the par ties concerned in the unpleasant matter to which it refers, huve d'-c-ined it necessary to use my name. My agency in the transactions of 1834, as known to all the part es, grew out of an ardent desire to arrange the difference between you and Mr. Henry amicaoty, ana 1 D Iieve the e d was accomplished. I should at once have declined all further interfer ence in the matter, had I not de- rrjed it the rihf of Dr. Cameron to hear my rei lv t the (jntslions he submitted to me. The same consideration induces me to accord th-- sime liehl to you. Yon ask me if ihe sti.teme (t pr pared by you in oepieuiuer, ioji, is an accural j j. tut ot the cir cumstances, as far as they came under my observa tion, or my memory serves. I answer, I observe no important variations in the circumstanc 8 as far as they came under my observation. You remark, that in ihe presenc'Mif hoth of us, Dr. Cameron stated, that he had asknd Mr. Henry if he had used any language in his speech calculated to redect on the opi osing party, and that Mr. Henry replied in the negative. Oi this question and answer I have no rccolh c ion. You ak, secondly, what were the motives which in luc d me to withhold that statement from publi cation. I answer, I did not deem it necessary to u.u taw vou in any way.- 1 naa no reason to be in ve tlio matter had been mentioned bv anv one . . 1 T I I t . - J .uiiu men: x coumi s;.-e no ni nr. lo arise from re viving an unpleasant cunt.oversy, arnica! lv and 1. 1 1 i j iionoraoiy aojusieci. You asii me, third' y, if the substance of my con versation with Mr. Henry is correct' V stated. In regard to my conversation with Mr. Henry, I made no memoranaiun 01 it; 1 can now only give mj tm- p.c.iniis. r rominai conversation, 1 was satisfied .he opinion 1 bad entertained of IV! r. Henry's first note was inr.oirect. He gave ine permission lo stale the bdirf to which my mind had been brought by the conversation, but charged me to make no thins as a communication, or by way of concession from h m to you, and this I distinctly stated to you. You ask me, whether the relation of that conver sation did not produce, and in mv opinion call for, and justify, your notej of the'27th"of August, 1834, to Dr. Cameron and Mr. Henry. I answer, Ihat from my interview with Mr. Henry, I was satisfied his intention had been to ask an explanation in an unexceptionable manner. I did, therefore, consider you justified in making, and bound to make, the ex planction you did, and I b lieve under the influence of like conclusions you acted. Toy0" question, whether the challenge was withdrawn, for a limited time, as stated by Dr. Cameron, I have no recollection of any such limita tion. Meeting Dr. Cameron on Wednesday, on my asking him if I was to consider the second note (the challenge,) withdrawn, he said, yes, as stated yesterday, referring to Monday evening I believe. Yours, E.

EsO. ba no-nin .-lVo.l belore the public, in an article in ihe Observer l the 29lh ultimo, which, in pari, purports lo be a statement of the affair which occurred be tween him and myself; written as be says, on his way . New York, Sept. 5lh, 1834, -under all the disadvantage of absence from home, and ihe confusion of a steam boat," and also a Mupplemental .statement in answer to ihe Card f Doctor Cameron and myself, published in last week's Carolinian. Before noticing the very few points, which I deem it necessary to call the public attention to . - . i . . ..., article, 1 must neg leave to remind the public, that so far, I am standing in an altitude of defence, against an iimvni-raninl.I im.l made upon me by Mr. Hale, in bis paper of ihe 2-2ik1 ultimo. An editorial article appeared in the Carolini an of the IStli ultimo insinuating that Mr. Hale had not come off very honorably in an affair of honor. Mr. Hale presumed, that Doctor Cam eron or myself, either wrote, authorized or permitted ihe publication of it; and without first seeking information from us on that point; ven tured, most unnecessarily, to drarr our names h..l..i-o ..ki: : . . .ne jiiieic, in an arncie containing very offensive personalities, and some erroneous statements of the affair itself. This compelled Doctor Cameron and mysell to pnnnsii m Uie Carolinian of the 25th ultimo, a joint Card, in which we denied ail participa lion whatever, in the publication of the article so offensive to Mr. Hale; and in which, togeth er with an accompanying narrative of ihe affair, we endeavored to shield our own conduct from that reproach which Mr. Hale's article had a tendency to affix to it. Our statement was written in a forbearin-r spirit, and contained no insulting persona In its. We determined it should be so. not oii'v because it was due lo the public and to ourselves; but to devolve the responsibility upon Mr. Hale, (who had been ihe aggressor 'in this mailer) should any unhappy issue betide the controversy, of not naving averted it, when it was in his power, and il was his duty to do so; by making the amende honorable in his paper of this weelt. In this reasonable hope and expectation. I regret to say, I have been greatly disappointed. Ii ia true, that in his article ol this week, he ad mits, that Ai presumption is unfounded, that Doctor Cameron and myself had participated in the publication of the Carolinian's article; and disclaims the intention of having charged Doctor Cameron, and myself wilh acting in a cowardly manner in the affair of 1834; whilst he withholds all expressions ol regret or atonement for the outrage he had committed upon my feel ing, innicis new wounds, by various harsh expressions, and insinuates broadly, that Doc tor Cameron anil myself wanted, iii the affair of 1834, to force him into an apology, to muzzle his press, and to destroy his personal and politi cal influence, and all this too, after Mr. Hale had several times in the course of this spring, under the pretence of commenting upon my po litical course, assailed me through his paper, by remai ks personally disrespectful. Having shewn ihe cause, which al the first, and again constrains me lo appear in the columns of a newspaper, I shall pioceed in a brief man ner, to notice only such matters in Mr. Hale's Ust article, as are ol particular importance to myself. I quote the following remarkable declarations from that article: 'I rest my entire vindication from the charge made then, intimated now bv the Carolinian. and apparenily sanctioned by the imperfect statement of Mr. Henry and Doctor Cameron (that 1 had been b treed into an anoloo-v) uvon that conversation between Mr. Winslow and Mr. Henry." Again, he states, "1 regret that Doctor Cam eron and Mr. He,nry have omitted ali mention of this conversation.

To say that the effort is a failure would yet be pre mature. The time allowed by the charter for obtaining subscriptions and commencing the work, does not expire tiil January 1343. Should ihe circumstances of the present time require a suspension of the eff rt, this will not prove that here is to be an entire failure. Within the t.iree years now remaining such changes may take place h. the pecuniary affair of the coun try, that subscriptions may be easily oblained.

I drop you a few lines to corrtct an error ol the corresxuideMts of last week's Observer, I find that Ihey are endeavor ing to make Ihe impression abroad (lor il will have no effect here) lhai there are wonderlul changes in Moore, in lavor iffi.-nor:!!

I U"..scr..iucni mine to me ooserver previous i .tnc rresuieniiai election, Irom the county moult, aruiaoe pernaps, wfien the writer said that Moore was ereel, that Judge White was stronger in Moore than General Jackson ever was, but, behold when the voles were counted. Judge White was l?fi lar in the rear ol his distinguished competitor, and so will it be at our next election, General Harrison will be tell lar behind Martin Van Buren, the boastings of ihe brainless correspondents of the Observer notwithstanding. Nineteen twentieths of ihe people of Moore ire larmers, ano consequently iJemocrals in principle, loroi mem it may he said with truth, that they stood almost "solitary and alone" amidst the adjoining counties in support of the ffreat measures ol the times, the freemen of Moore susia.ned the Hero ol the aire. Andrew Jacktron, in ihe removal of the taxes collected from the people, from the control of foreign siucnnoiaers, mey sustained tun, in vetoing the bill chartering the United Stales Bank, amFsee ingthat its ad vocales justified the Bank in ihe most daring outrage against the principles of free government, and that the Bank was deter mined to rule or ruin the country. The free men of Moore seeing all this, ihey by a large majority sustained the election of the President of the people's choice, Martin Van Buren, and ihey will sustain him lor re-election, next No vember. The farmers of Moore will sustain our Democratic candidate lor Governor, Romulus M. Saunders, for thev cannot foro-el. that he, at the tequest of the Democracy of ihe Slate, become :beir candidate, and in doinn so. surrendered an office, in a pecuniary point of view, mgniy preteranie 10 tiie one lie now as pires imj an otnee winch he tilled wilh great ability, and unsurpassed fidelity. The freemen of Moore have been well pleased with the course put sued by our Democratic Senators in Congress, Bedlord Brown and Robert Strange, tney stand pledged to suslan no man s elec tion to the next legislature, unless he first pledges lumseti to go inr ihe re-election ot our Sena tors. The freemen of Moore cannot brook the idea of electing a man President of these Uni ted Stales, who would sell white men and let the negroes free, aside from his being a federal ist of ihe deepest die; there are too many rea sons to enumerate in this short, nole why Gen. Harrison should not be elected to the responsi ble office of President ol a free people. The freemen of Moore allhoujh lar from being free from the embarrassment of the times have virtue, intelligence and integrity, they know that it is to the mismanagement nt the banking institutions of the country that we are indebted for the present pressure in menied mat ters, for to them il is clear, that when the hanks are every day drawing in, and letting no money oui, that, if persisted in, ruin must be the inevi table result; and that to charge the scarcity of money to the Government under such a course ol conduct hy the banks, especially in North Carolina, where the revenue collected by the government is but small, belt ays in those who are so uncanded to the people, a total want of confidence in their intelligence, for it must be apparent to every impartial observer that, the Government cannot he oppressive when it pays out more money in Carolina than is collected hy it within her limits, yet the Whigs, as they call themselves, believe that the massol the people are ignorant enough to turn out a President that has proven himself to be on all occasions faith-. meetinffs would not. conflict w.th each ntoim.int ocs on to sav. that thev c.-. been iiort r revised that dec;sion. and concluded to mot m s tme day and p ace where our meeting was to be held. About ihai time they received assurances from Mr. Kelly of Moore conntv' ihsit h ivel.l attend and deliver a political speech. This we considered as throwing down the gaunt let, and surely if they take to themselves lha pnvi- ege oi invit:ii2 a gentleman from Moore County, r importing, (t use their favorite rdims? hr-re certainly had the right of inviiing Mr. Henry of Cumberland, who was placed on our Electoral tick et, to attend and reply to Air. Kelly. Now mark ye sir, that thtir invitation to Mr. Kelly was some months and weeks, nrevions t n the u.rilir ktitu and sufficient time in all conscience, for any man to prepare himself to make a speech or. any subject he understands. In the meantime the Rev. travelling Al ... of tho Whig party of this cuntj, whose soul is more devoted to the spread of Whiggery, than, in propagating the doctrines of the Omss -h.v th ir fruit shall you know them") was faversinc? ihe country, inviting our citizens to attend Mr. KelJv's Ion 2 expected speech. Expectation was on tip-tre, and quire a large assemblage was collected in Wadesborough, to see the poor "Loco Focos," de feated, and their caus:: blown sky hio-h. Determined not to be defeated bythis combina tion ot woig2ery, nor to be driven from the Court House, wc invited our friend Mr. Heniy, to attend and address the people, he accepted the invitation, and his arrival here produced qiite a sensation in XiP . , J?V ' 7flrs', sure presage of the Waterloo defeat which they expected on the mor- It. Whiggery baffled, again fell to work, devising plan to prevent Mr. Henry from addr. ssin the whole assemblage. Slander fell thick as hail thoV feared the contest, and some of their party moved th:it fwodistmct meetings beheld, for said they "our man is not ready for a discussion." But the' people, the sovereign people, were eager for the" contest, each side confident'y believing that their iiidiiipiops wouia win laurels lor themselves and carry the day. Such sir, was the force of puhl.c opinion that the whig orators, were dragged up to the "bull-ring" there to receive the most nnmere r,,l castigaiion ever inflicted in our knowledge on any debaters in this county. 3 Away with the plea that their man was not rea dy; he had weeks to prepare himself, a lawyer too, and one who had made politics his study; but sir "time itself is too short" for a man of Mr. Kelly's talents, to take the side he advocates and ain credit in a debate with Mr. Henry. The Observer's correspondent states that Patrick Henry Winston spoke first, in a "stvle Worth V his eimarinp t ! . 99 ... .. . . .1 1 l l . . . ..... ..,,....., ioni.13, ncnuuuerne g:a not acfl bis "decency" too. B it alas, for the honor of his illns. trious ancestor, Patrick Henry jr. did not sustain that high reputation for eh quence and manly de bate that ouht to be exriected from stock At-A. cd from so noble a Mre. What do vou think he said? WTiv air tt.-.r n, Jackson was'a rogue; that tho Adrmstra'tion nartv connived at the stealing of the public money,- that our Representatives in Congress had no "talents " that ihe distingu shed individual who fi'ls the Ex ecutive Chair, elected bv a maioritv of rw gnrT,-.. of American freemen, was the choice of a "faction," and was one of ihe most corruot men that nUt! on the fac of the earth. H wrought hims If into phrewzy, and became pel son. -if in hrs remarks., in sinuated that Mr. Henry would advocate the "Inde pendent Treasury" from pecuniary motive, non- tending that it wou'd enable hirn to buy up his poor neighbors property at half its value, and so he went on, without argument blunderino- from one cwor. ng assertion to another: one abusive pniihet to another, in a "style worthy of his sunerinr t.-ilfnts' and sat down not even cheered by his own party. Mr. Henry replied at length to all his charges which as you are aware must take up considerable lme, and by the force of his eloauence. his wither ing sarcasm, and the array of facts which he brought to bear on the discussion enchained the attention of is audience most of whom were politically nn. pos d to him. He was frequently i n term d ted in the course oi nis remaras, oy animated peals of ap pl iuse. Patrick Henry jr. was as perfect a thing of nothing in his hands as a "sluice cat-fish" is in the hands of Patrick Henry, jr. . The effects of Mr. Henry's speech was seen and felt, and I do assure you that it has not only established our friends more fully in their opinions, but it has done much to do away that deep rooted prejudice that existed in the minds of many against us, and has awakened a spirit of enquiry amonff the people has ffiven our cause sucn an impetus wmcn federal whiggery with all its arts, cannot check. Mr. Kelly next rose, and you may judge of his situation when I assure you that some kTnd hand had to procure him a tumbler of sin. which he sat carefully behind him. He spoke and drank and. drank and spoke; "by pouring spirits down he kept his spirits up" and as the ardent fell in the tumbler so it rose in his head, and as long as it lasted, "he gave hard and effectual knocks" "not, on Mr. Hen ry or his cause, but on the "king's english" which he most unmercifully used up to the great horror of all the "Talents and Decency Party." U. . U.. the road now conleniplated, or some other plan will be carried into operation, lime ohlv ean de termine. As soon as it becomes manifest tl.af the ro?d contemplated in ihe charter granted bv the Legislature of 1839 is impracticable, report will he made to the Board of Internal Improvement, and the Agency will be closed. It should not. however, be regarded as a first effort in obtaining subscriptions comes short of expectation. People are to be convinc ed of the utility of an enterprize before they will venture. To convince them nfd.P II t i lit tr of this enterprise, much information must be collected and disseminated. To do this, time is requisite. When, therefore, sufficient time has elapseil; when the requisite information has been disseminated, then the issue may be de termined. If people with all proper light before them, do not see fit to come up to the "rescue," the effort may be considered a fmal atid to'a! faiiure. Democratic Republican Sleeting.
