il The Lincoln Courier, we are inclined
to tbinki wishes to robCol. Barringer of
all credit for his truly praise. worthy con
duct in the last Congress iri relation to the
Branch' Mint at" Charlotte .We" t never
heard any on e express a doubt of the fact;
that Col.Barringer rendered : very im
portant service to bis District on this sub
ject.. Indeed, we have abundant reason
t'o believe that if it'had not been for him
the bill makingan appropriation to re
build the Mint would have been lost.
jj ,But the Lincoln Courier seems to know
nothing about this. He is, however, bet
ter in formed as ia one bt her circumstance
in relation to Col; Barringer, than any one
else, we apprehend : to wit that Col. B.
is urging his agency in procuring the ap
propriation as a'reaspn Ayhy his constitu
eritsr should re-elect him. When diu Col.
Barringer-ever do this? Can the Courier
give the time and place ? Although there
Would be no crime in the act, yet we do
not belie ve that Col., Barringer ever , did
such violence to his native modesty as this.
' i The Courier says, " It was not our in
tention to misrepresent Qol. Barringer. but
to place him in his right colors before the
people.' Very probable - A Democratic
editor is very apt to place a Whig candi
date, in right colors? Can the Courier
prove that Col. Barringer ad assumed
false colors before the people ? Until that
is done, we think the Courier would do
itself more credit to lie low.
The following is the closiug paragraph
of the article in the Courier, to which we
have alluded above.
j; "Mr. Fisher has been prominent as the
democratic candidate in a majority of the
counties of this District, and we-have not
the least doubt that this able champion of
democratic republicanism will be the no
minee of the Convention of the 2d district,
and consent to meet the mint champion oh
any grounds."
This is one grand flourish, wo suppose
designed to intimidate the Whigs. '
It is quite immaterial who t he Locofocos
bring put in opposition tcr Col. Barringer,
provided he be a gentleman.- We had as
soon see Mr. Fisher out'as any other Dem
ocrat perhaps i little mther.". ,;;-.
