MR. FISHER AND THE IULEIGH
REGISTER.
The vertiable E1:or of the Ra ei:' Re
eist r h is discovered a "mare's nes and
! :js set ihe scribbh is about the two Fede
ral paper it: thi3-4J-trir.t cackling at a
lernhle rate. But it turns out all cackling
and nothing ele. Mr. Gnles, hearing Irnm
his r.oi respondents, how Ml IVher is usi g
op ;he abominable Whig Tariff of 1642,
i d fearing tor the la'c of his good fn ndt
Mr. Marringer, cries r ut, "why Mr. Fish
r himself was once a Tariff man." Nev
Mr Gules, we tell you in yom teeth, uu
ar -mistaken. Mr. Fisher never wa . j
and we venture to say, never wiil be a pro
tective Tariff man. Ne have known Mr.
leaner, and been familiar i n his course,
romour youth to this 'm e, and we know
oi nn one who has been more uuitormU
hostile to protective T-inffs than himseit.
W hen h" was fist in Congress, he voted
against every attempt to rai..e the Tariff. :
At'erwords, while a member of the L gis-
tiuej (perhaps in 1827 ) he was one of a
.nm ttee, that rep rt d a m morial to
' ogress in which these word. are ibuiH i
lli s conceded th-it Congress have the ex
press p wer to lay imposts, but it is mam-
ned Hi it 'hat power was given for the
piirpoe ot revrpue. and revenue atcne, and
'hat every other vse of the power is usur
pation on the part of Congress."
In 1?32, Mr. Fisher delivered an ari-
Hross against the protective policy to an
uti-Tar ff mectiiig, held in the Court
11 use in Salisbury, in which he x poses
'tie itfq lilies if the act of 132 in ?uch a
manner a- to have pioduced a powerful
effeet. The- address led ti. lh contebt in
U .wan, tn 133, when Mr. Fisher, Major
John Beard, ai d John Clement were tiif:
anti-Tariff candid .teg, and Gen. Polk, H.
C. Jones, und Ml W'ard were the Tariff
candidates, and which resulted in the !ri j
umphant election of Fisher, Beard, and
Clement.
The compromise act o' 1633, quoted'
the question about the Tariff md we heard
nothing m re about it m the country an
where umil the Presidential contest came
oli.
In 1839, we recollect that Dr. Hender
son, who opposed Mi. Fisher for Congress,
accused Mr. Fisher and the Democratic
party of a de;gn to repeal the compromise
aet, and reduce the ou les. Mr. Fisher
ve ry where repeated his charges, and aid,
d the Clay party should get into power,
there was more danger that Ih-y would re
peal the c mpromise and raise thp taxes.
Mr- Fher in II his pobhc speeches, ex
pot'ssi : his acquiescence in the ompro
mie act, arid openly denounced all protec
tive Tariffs. In 1840, while a member ot
Congress, he published a circular to his
constituents, where he characterizes pro
tective tariffs" m the following language:
"Of all the political curses that have
ev'r been i. flicted on this c uotrv since w
became a free people, the protective I
has been the gre itest. It is. in fac
source oi an me pouucai evns we n
peiiencea nuring me past iourieet frs
it was the c-mse of bringing into existence
many of the banks, and it stimulated the
whole system into those excesses which
now are bringing ruin on the banks them
selves, and destruction on t usands of the!
people. During its contu u oee, it -very
year took millions out of the p cketsof the
people, i or to support Government, but to
he put in o the pockets oi the great manu
facturer hi the north. It operated with
particular hardship and oppression on th
farmers, plauters, aud mechanics of the
south, including those of our own State.
The money collected by this system from
the hard earnings of the people went to
swell the tide of prosperity in the manu
tacturing districts, whilst it impoverished
everv part ot the southern States. It was,
in short, a system to tax the many for the
few it made lihe rich richer and the
poor poorer."
Now, after all this, we would have sup
pes- j th. i Mr. Fisher was the last man in
North Caioiina, that could be clnrged
w -jt rver havinj,; been n larifl man, or in
t iv.r oi "protective tarifls" and tt, the
Kditor of the RaSe:gh Register has' such
lii'le regard for tru h and propriety, as to
come out and charge him wilh having once
been a protective tariff man. Aud how do
you think he sets about proving it ? Why ,
in lS27,-'29, Mr. Fisher made a Report
in the Legislature in favor of introducing
manufacture, and wool growing in N.
The report was extensively read, and no
doubt had . a powerful fiVrt irj arousing the
per. pie of the State to these subjects. We
r mrtnber theReport well,and dety Gale &
Co. to show one sentence, or word in it in
h vor of protective tariffs. On the contra-
, the very object and aim of the report
was to counteract the effects of the Tariff
on the people of North Carolina. We be
lieve i was at the very same session that
this report was made, that Mr. Fisher
j ind with others in making another re
port denouncing protective tariffs as unccn
stitutional, declaring that ;t was a vsurpa
tion in Congress to exercise any such pow
er as imposing Tariffs on the country for
any other purpo-e than revenue. We ee
nothing in Mr. Fisher's report, that made
it at all inconsistent with hts present course.
In fact, Mr. Fisher in his public speeches
now declares that he is in favor of manu
factoring in the South, and the luture de
ence of the mechanic arts. N e have juv
received a small pamphlet containing the
u list. i nee of his speeches at Morgan's and
Mi. Pleasant, and in that we see that he
not only denies that he is unfiiendly to
manufacturing, but avows his anxiety to
see manu acMiring ;ind the mechanics rise,
extend ai-d flourish in the southern States;
and he urjju s that they never ran do this
while the S uth is robbed and plundered
as she is by the iniquitous Tariff of 1844
But i seem- that some people, and Mr
Gales among the rest, think no person can
be friendly to manuf-cures woo i not
high protective Tariff man The Demo
era's all are friendly to manu fact u re-, but
they wish them to prosper by their own in
dustry and enterprise, with what protection
a revenue Tariff will give, and not bv lega
lized plunder of the farmers and mechanu
of the connlrry. Wrc think it is nme f r
such men as the Editor of ..e Regis er to
learn that we may be fnei dly to manufac
turing without being fiiendly to such an
abominable law as thfc whig Tariff act of
the year 1842.
In 1831, Free Trade convention was
heic in Philadelphia, by Ihe Free Trade,
and anti- Tariff men from every part of the
Union. Mr. Fisher was appointed a Dei
gate lo hat convention from this part ol
North Carolina, and attended the same-
That Convention published ai audress, it

The Appointments In our last p:.per,
we unc!erstu.d we committed an err o in
saying tnal Mr. Fisher proposed to Col
Barringer t Lincoln, to "make a legntar
list of appointments," and that Col. B would
not agree to it. We learn that then: was
no foimal proposition, but an iotioiatiou
from Mr. Fisher, that he should preler
uch an arrangement; to whtch Col. B.
answered that he could not attend more
than one or two appointments in Lunoin
C' Uiit, and premised to confer further on
the subject. He has never, upproached
Mr. Fisher on the subject since, and he
felt a delicacy in renew ing u to his oppo
nent. We w u'd not willingly do Colonel
Barringer injustice, and th relore make
this statement. It, however, alters the
complexion of the matter very' little -lb.
The Present Tariff. People of North
Carolina, it is for you to say, at the polls
ou the 7lh of August next, whether you
are in favor of a svstem whici gives the
manufacturers 20 percent, per annum, snu
the firmers an average of one or two per
cent. 1 he Whig candidates for Congress
are lor upholding this system at your ex
pfnse, whust the democratic candidate
desire to see it changed and modified, so as
to make it as just as possible. The las1
Boston Statesman says: "The Star M m
uiacturing Company h-s declared a div
dend of ten per cent; and this for sx
months-'' Twenty percent, per annum !
How do you like that ? What farmer in
North Carolina makes two per cent?
Oughi not these Manufacturers to be sat
isfied with s:x per cent ? What say you?
Answer at the polls Raleigh Standard.
Second District. Col. Barringer, is
our readers already know, is opposed by
the Hon. Charles Fisher. The democrats
are in fine soints, as ihey have every ed
vantage in the contest. Mr. Fisher is an
able aud intelligent politician. He would
make a useful and weighty member,
whereas Col. Barringer is and must con
tinue lobe a negative character. The lat
ter, v e learn, boasts ol his agency in car-
mngthe appropriation for the Mint, bu:
the truth is, though In was zealous in the
matter, the bill was favorably reported on
bv the Treasury und the W'avsand Means,
nd its passage followed as a matter ol
course, w hat credit, then, nas ne nere
... . . t
If he did hts duty ou one question, fie was
faithless on all others, and his course o
Texas and the Tariff his servile ob
dience to party orders must consign him
t. retirement. lb.
Trial of C.J. McNulty. Esq The
Couit have this morning abandoned the
prosecution on the coun: of embezz'wig
750 of the public money. It is the opin
ion ot many of our intelligent citizens, h it
under the present aspects of the case, it is
highly probable that l the other charges
will meet the same fate. We sinceieiv
hope that this may be the case.
fter Mr. Fendall, the proseeufmg ati r
ney, hd stated his determination o en er
a nolle prosequi in relation to the above
mentioned count, Mr. Carlisle moved for a
verd ct from the iur ; but the nol. pros.
was entered and the juty discharged. U

Bank and Anti-Bank. We saw in one
ot our e.x hang papers, that as we had d
readv ami bank States, the wn ei wa- hap
py that we had at last one anti bank Con
stitution ; alluding lo the new Constitution
of Louisiana, which prohibits the Legisla
ture from granting bark chnrters.
1 .ere is one other anti bank Constitution
now X'ant, besides thai of Louisiana, al
though he mportant f.ic.t seems to he
:-ver ooked by nearly all our law-makers,

tion of ihe United States is ihe strongest
ani bank document ver penned ; U pro
hibits, positively, peremptorily and uncon
ditionally the isMiutg, bv the States, of
bills of credit in the &hp of bnk notes, or

ihe Union, authorises this r pen violation of
he Auencan Constitution, and no one
, dares to protest against it. lb.
Runaway Xrcroes. A large gn: of
runawav negroes, from Charles CVtiny,
Md., armed with clubs, scvihe-. kc
n -ssed through the rurnp'ke gate, two miles
Irooi this city and on Iho road I ad nir to
Rockville, on Tuesday morning, ahou one
o'clock. We learn that they continued
alon the road to Rockville, diverging a
bitle to the right, so a not to p-iss thiough
the village, and thenstrrck into :he Frede
rick road and continued until they arrived
at a place near Clubtown, where they were
overtaken by a large party of armed eiti
ze.i-, on foot and horseback, whom the
Sheriff . t Montgomery county had sum
m- ned to h's aid, and who turned out with
alacrity mi pursuit of the fugitives. When
the armed Citizen overtook the negroes,
they were commanded io surrender, but
they refused, and immediatelv commenced
resistance, when it appeared that home of
them had pistols, and one of them a gun.
One who had a pistol snapped it three
times at a Mr. Jackson, who then fired
and shot his assailant ir the b ck, severely
wounding him. The armed ciliz n were
so resisted so vigorously bv the slaves that
ii was found necessary to fire upon them.
Eight were wounded, and seventeen more
were captured and conveyed to Rockville
jail, where they are now cm fi. ed lit ihe
course of the night six inure ol ;he 'uuiuves
were taken and put in jul nmkin.. op to

Aristocrucy. -A contemporary t.uly
says: Which of our aristocratic families
c ii look back a few years, wnhout n
countering ihe ghost o some worthy me
chanic? How many of ih fortune?-, which
now inspire iheir possess r- with gtody
notions, have been earned by the trowel,
the jackplane, over the counter of otiie in

quently .s this remark ui"de by aristocra
tic upstarts, who have eoth ng to recom

telhgent mechanic happent to b meninmed
in their presence. They consider it de.

' hough that wealth was obtained by tha
most rascallv means. Nothing is so dis
