L. D. Henry's letter to Coin'' tee.
(jWe find the following cxtraordina
ry paragraph in the last Halifax Advocate
"Towards the Editor of the Tarboro
Free Press, we have always entertaine
kind feelings. It was therefore a source
of deep regret, to have seen in that paper
nf Inst week, a mutilated account of the
sparring between Messrs. Wise and Stanly
Fair play isfa jewel and we had supposed
was a maxim upon which the conductor
that paper acts consequently we are un
wdhncr tn believe, even now. thai he was
t 7 ' . ,
actuated by so unworthy a motive, as do
ing an intentional injury to Mr. Manly
and trust he will make the amende honor
able, by publishing the following extracts
from Stanly's Speech the ablest Kepre
tentative in Congress from the good Old
North Stale."
Reciprocating the "kind feelings" ex
pressed above, we reply, that wo do "in
tentional injury" to no person; nor have
we given a 'mutilated account" of the af
fair referred to. We have repeatedly giv
en the gasconade between Mr. Stanly and
others, in detail, not as matter of instruc
tion or amusement, but as samples of the
extreme lengih to which the noisy cur,
not the "bull-dogging," system is carried
on in the House of Representatives. In
the present doggish case. we gave the sub
stance of the barking between Messrs.
Wise and Stanly, as represented in the
first Whig statement we saw; and subse
quently we gave another Whig statement,
although not materially changing the aspect
of the termination of the squabble we
cannot dignify it with the name of "spar
ring." Our sympathies are not enlisted in
faverofMr. Wise, for between him and
Mr. Stanly there exists, in our opinion, as
Jiule difference as there is betwixt "twte
dle dum and twredle de-" their conduct
being equally injurious and disreputable to
the House, of which they are unprofitable
members and could we ffive them "fair
play," both of them should be expelled,
and then be permitted to dog each other as
long as they pleased.
By the way, we wish to know if the
Editor of the Advocate speaks 4by author
ity," or whether, regarding the rights
and reputation of Mr. Stanly as being pla
ced in weak or inefficient hands, he has
assumed the responsibility of thus rudely
snatching their guardianship from the
Whig pres of this district?
RENCONTRE BETWEEN
AND STANLY.
WISE
Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
Washington City May 9th. You
have, doubtless, heard that a personal ren
contre took place on Saturday afternoon,
between Messrs. Wise and Stanly, of the
House of Representatives. The follow
ing are the particulars, and may be relied
on as correct.
About 4 o'clock, Mr. Wise and Mr
Stanlv were riding on nearly opposite sides
of the road, on the race course, their horses
in a walk; a gentleman, acquainted with
both the members, was a little in the rear.
This position was maintained by the par
lies iui some Muiinis, wnen a carriage
came up and passed between Messrs. W.
and S. After the carriage passed on, they
resumed their lormer positions, when the
gentleman alluded to above rode up and
commenced a conversation with Mr. Wise,
on the subject of the race. Mr. Stanly
then, not keeping pace, fell a little in the
rear, and Mr. Wise and his friend got con
siderably in advance before passing the
outer gate. After procee ding about one
. hundred yards from the gate, Mr. Stanly
rode rapidly up, just as ihey were passing
through a mud hole; his horse brushed a
gainst Mr Wise and his horse, on the left
with such force as to puh Mr. Wise's
horse against tne horse of his friend, and
jarred Mr. Wise :n his peat, at ui same
lime bespattering Mr Wie with mud and
water. As soon as Mr. Wise recovered
from the jostle, and before Mr. Stanly
had proceeded twenty yards, Mr. Wise
rode up to him (Mr. Stanley) on his left,
"a gallop, and on coming up with him,
Mr. Wise struck him a heavy blow direct
ly acoss tU back of the head, with a black
whalebone walking cane, which broke be-1
ow the head, and the piece with the head
ew off some distance. Mr. Wise struck
him but one blow, and remarked, "Now,
damn you, ride against" me again." Mr.
Stanlv remarked, "I did notsec you, and
iir. vv ise repneu, men i um usc h.
Mf. Stanley, after a pause of a few sec
. i- i : 77
onds, said, "you come up behind a man to
strike him." Mr. Wi-e replied "thee
are irentlemcn behind hre who see how
this matter is done," or words to that ei-
fect. Mr. Stanlv then observed, "You
come up behind a man and strike him like
a damiCd coward." Mr. Wise replied
i ',& iUi,t htmnnnit the coward, and
make the most of them, damn you.
The gentleman who had been engaged
n ttnntint it inn with Mr. Wise, now rode
un, and said, ' Gentlemen, the public roa
is no olace to settle s-ich matters. iir
Stnnltr olisnrved. "virrv well." and rode
....... j - .
on briskly towards th-; city.
There are various rumors here that Mr
Stanlv has declared his intention to eh
lenge'lhc Virginian hnl, when memb. rs
are in earnest about such matters, the
don't tell any body out of doors about it so
early; and nothing of the kind has nap

Our last advices from Washington state

In the House, on ihe 12th, the ueneral
Appropriation Hill was passed, which goes
to the Senate on amendments. The Navy
bills are now under consideration.
Difficulties with Great Britain. The
Washington papers publish the letter of
Mr. Webster to the Governors of Maine
and Massachusetts, which conveys to the
public authentic information of the deepest
interest. It states lhat LiOrd Ashburton is
charged with full powers to negotiate and
settle the different matters in controversy
between this country and England; and
that, with regard to the Northeastern
Boundary, which the National Intelligen
cer thinks the most formidable question, he
has authority to treat . for a conventional
line, or line by agreement, on just and e
quitable terms. Mr. Webster left Wash
ington for the North on the 12ih. The Le
gislature ol Maine meets on the 8ih. The
Legislature of Massachusetts will not meet
the Governor of that State being already
by resolution, authorised to do whatever
may be necessary in the ptemies. The In-

Rhode Island. The excitement has not
abated in Rhode Island. Arrests contin
ue to be made. Several members of the
suffrage Legislature have resigned. Dorr
and Pearce were at Washington on a visit
to the President, last week, but have re
turned eastward. The General Assembly
of Rhode Island re-assembled on the 11th.
Gov. King's Message was accompanied by
a letter from Ihe Piesident; in which he
states that information received by him of
the situation of affairs in Rhode Island, sub
sequent to the time when the requisition
on him for aid was passed oy the Legisla
ture, in his opinion renders his interfer
ence now unnecessary; but lhat he still con
siders it his duty, under the Constitution,
to assist the Government of the klute to en
force the laws thereof, and in case of in
surrection he will comply with the requi
sition when required by Gov. King. A
motion was made to lay the communication
on the table; another lo reter il to a com
mittee; and a third to request the Govern
or to issue his proclamation and make the
President's letter known to the people of
lhat Stale. Alter some debate the last mo
tion prevailed, without athvisiou, by a u

(QVVhen our paper went to press last

the pioceedings of the same. This is the
first time that Judge Battle has been a-
mong us, and It is with great pleasure that
we unite in trio generally expressea opin
ion, that but lew ol dur Judges have given
greater satisfactlori, in the discharge ol
their judicial uuum, mail una uiaiuiion-
ed gentleman. i o great courtesy uuu a-
miabihty ot manners, he unites tne com
mendable qualities of patience, readiness,
ahilitv and nromotness. In his chants to
the jury, he evinces a perspicuity ol Ian

truage and a tairnessanu certainty in his o
pinions, which relieves the jury of all doubt
and unnecessary responsibility, and ren
lers their duties comnarativelv easy ami
pleasant. His connexion with the Mj
preme Court has been of manifest advan
j- j
lage to him as a Judge, as upon all points
both of practice and law, he exhibits a rea
dy familiarity, which contributes not only
tn lessen the ahor of his duties, but to la-
rilitnte thfi desnatrdi of business. In his
intercourse with the gentleman of the bar
there seemed to be that kind and dignified
bearing which is well calculated not only
in command resnect. but to secure the
kindly and more affectionate feelings of hi
brethren. A better annointment has not

Melancholy Disaster. On Saturday
last, Mr. Lewis O'Brien, of Jones county
went out to hunt wild turkies, in company
with his son in-law, Mr. Gideon P. White
head. They separated, and not long afier
Mr. O Brien hearing as he thought, th
well known cry of a wild turkey, hasten
tened to the spot, and perceiving some
thing move in the woods whence the soum
or cry came, and conceived it to oe a wi
turkey, levelled his fowling piece, with
unerrinir aim. and fired: when he reached
D - -j - -
the spot hoping to find his game, to his ui
ter horror and amazement, he found the
lifeless body of his son-in-law, Mr. White
head, he having shot him through th
head, under the belief that he was ihe wild
turkey, whose notes he had so fatally heaid
imitated. Mr. Whitehead has left a wife
and two little children to mourn their irre
parable loss and his untimely end. Mr.
O'Brien is a kind-hearted man, and he
and his family are plunged into the deep
est sorrow, by this unfortunate and melan
choly disaster. ib.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
OMINOUS!
The Columbia t4South Carolinian' Calls
the attention of its readers to Mr'. Calhoun's
able speech on Mr. Clay's resolutions in
relation to the protective policy, th com
promise, &c. ; and then throws forth th
following ominous remarks of its own:
"The false and treacherous policy by
which their rights and intercuts are assail
ed, s strikingly developed in Mr. Clay's
pre'ended adherence to the compromise,
at the very moment that he is preparing to
violate almost every provision of it, an-l
render those designed for the benefit of the
South utterly valueless. So far, the advan
tages of il have been wholly on the side of
the tariffiles; and now, just when they are
about to accrue to us, they set the obliga
tions of il on their part utterly at naught,
and prepare to renew upon us the vile sys
tem of legislative robbery now about to ter
minate. And have they the blind hardi
hood to suppose that the South will tamely
submit to this? lhat, after complying with
all our obligations, and submitting to all
the burdens of the compromise, we will
permit them to violate theirs, deprive us
of all its benefits, and force upon us new
burdens, as unconstitutional, oppressive,
and tyranical as those about to terminate?
Can outrage go farther than this, and is it
not an insult to the Southern people to pre
sume thus upon their submission to it?
Come ivhat may. South Carolina will
resist it, at all hazards. Pass the un
constitutional law they may, but it will
be no law in South Curolina, and soon
declared so. The resistance generally,
loo, will be a very different matter to what
it was in 1832." .
Are the madcaps at Washington prepar
ed to raise up another storm in the South?
Will they violate Ihe compromise, and
raise the tariff, before they give bacK the
public lands lo supply :he wants of an im
poverished Treasury? Will they go on to
multiply further and grievous and sensitive
questions upon the States as, for example,
the proposed feature in the apportionment
hill, which assumes ihe new power of for
cing ihe State Legislatures lo district their
Males lor .the purpose of electing members
ot the House of Representatives? We
shall republish some of ihe speeches in the
House, for the purpose of showing that the
power reserved in the Constitution to Con
gress, of regulating the time and manner of
electing representatives, was intended to
be used only in Ihe case where the Mates
neglected or refused to discharge their du
ties, or were prevented, by any cause, from
passing a law to regulate the manner for
themselves. Yet these madcaps are hur-
rylng on to create new heart-burnings on
the part of certain States, and producing
new contentions bettveen them and .th U-
nited States. If Congress can, in ordinary
cases, direct the States to district their ter
ritory, they may take another step, and un
dertake to lay oil the districts memseives.
filiritr mar iPirnluti ihp manner in one
way, why should they hesitate to regul
. .IV,J ."-fi,
it in another way?
The ayes anil noes upon the district
clause of the hill, show the character ot
the parties by whom the clause was sup
ported or opposed. I he clause was carried
by two majority only. Of the 101 ayes,
98 were Federal Whig, 2 Republicans on
ly; and Mr Cushirg, whom ihe correspon
dent ot the JNew York American called a
lyler man. Ul the VU nays, 32 were
Republicans, 14 Whigs, and Messrs. Wise,
Profli', and Irwin.
Thus it is the Federalists, with rare ex
ceptiotis, going for a strong Federal Gov
ernmcnt, at the expense of ihe States;
whilst the Democrats, with very rare ex
ceptions, are in lavor ol a strict construc
tion of the Constitution; and, as Mr. Hons
ton ol Ataoama says, they aie lor "re
straining the action of Congress within nar
row and prudent limits, and confining its
legislation to but few objects."
But the obnoxious innovation is not yet
fastened upon the States. The Senate has
not yet passed upon it; and the thunderbolt
of the President may yet dah it in pieces.
The Great Race. Napoleon, in the
full tide of successful conquest, found his
Waterloo, and the Napoleon of the Turf,
as he is called. William R. Johnson, has
found his. The great Race between the
North and the South between Boston and
Fashion upon which, probably, more
money was staked, than has ever before
been bet on a Horse R ice was run, and
won by the Northern Mare, Fashion, in
two straight heals. The knowing ones
were all taken in, the betting having been
in favor of Boston, by large olds a large
proportion of the bets being in the ratio of
SI 00 to SGO in his favor, and in many ca
ses, two to one, were ofll-n-d and taken.
The number of spectators on the Course,
is estimated at 70,000! The time, in
which the Race was made, throws into the
shade all previous performances on the A
merican Turf. Rut. Ren.
