Shameful Abuse ,
: Wilmington, Nov. 23d, 1809. '
Mi;i Editor: The Sentinel ot this morn
ing contained one of those shameful abuses
of the. public press so common among the
"high-toned" conservative gentlemen" of
thi St:t A Mr Tiiraw tva JnTifirl to
an agricultural fair at Wilmington. ; He
went there and was treated as he ? states f
with civility, and ; even extreme courtesy..
To repay the people inviting him; he de
nounces them for extending polite treatment
to other strangers he called " carpet bag
gersV Now among gentlemen thiii conduct
of Turner would deserve but one name
- -x imnnrr nrmr1 " UTS ClaSS wllO With '
"uu reoene iavors, auu wiiu tne otticr
sung mud upon tnc bestower of the gift.
Among persons of this class -dishonorable
conduct cannot be aught but pleasant, and
suchlias ever been inhabit of the Yaliaiit"
hero bf i the New Berne . stampede. A

Arab in aught but courtesy Mr. Turner has
neitlt'er the decency or the " commonest
molality or he would never be guilty of the
rejections upon tbc managers and others attempting-to
forget political differences for
the good of the section when the old time
custom 'jot holding public fairs' lias been re
vived WbcUier Wilmington is " metfopoli-"
tan" or Raleigh is " provincial" in 3Ir. Tur
ner's eyes is of little . 'consequence to tbc
citizens of either place, but the f provincial"
education "of" the perverter' of newspajicr
columns tb un worthy objects shows iu every j
line and stands - out in bold relief when
compared with the manners and culture of
the depiscd " carpet baggers."
We Republicans should be pleased with
the conduct and language of Turner as, a
representative man, for the reason that his
very, extravagance or folly rebounds against
him and his party and thus 'when lie de
nounces all who fought fori the ; Union as '
" invaders" and calls upon the party he
represents to ostracise all liberal democrats
who may choose to associate with Republi
cans or those friendly to the government
he bcucfits our party by disgusting all sensi
ble mcu who may still be w uulortuUvile sti
to associate with traitors. YWUJSX
