It is an old saying, " a man is known i y the company he keeps and if we judge Mr. Fair Play by this rule, he is certainly beneath notice. He evidently is one of newspaper education, (like his Mag nus Apollo in politics,) a scavenger of books, one who has read Junius! no doubt, and lias at least heard the names of Locke, Newton, and Bacon, who has collected the filth,-' and the lilth; pnl, of what he fias read. And Mr. Fair Play may have pursueda'pru dent co jrse in this, respect; at all events, ie will, in all probability, come oiff victor in newspaper controversy ; for no decent man will wage war with such a character ; there is but one way to beat a blackguard; and that is, to beat a retreat. A fellow whose favorite I poems I are.

I ; ' 'i " May live to fight another day." I hope 'One of the People" will do Jikewise; or wait until he finds " foeman worthy bf his st jel." - -It is a contest in whicji he cannot gain and must lose.- But the argu ment of Fair Play is so much of a cijaracter with all. that comes from that part oV the county, from the set,' that I must notice a Jittle of it, though it is an unprofitable task. Hear th s following from this pet of a pe of the Kitchen : Who chartered the bank f Congreis, the legislative power. Would the depoites have been removed from the bank, ic Congress had not chartered it !" Now if I had heard that such stuff as .this had appeared in print, I should have thought it was a.joke. But it' is ho" less strange than true ; for the Free Press, of July 25th; contains it. In answer to this unanswera le logical can ouly'-fishy1 Could- 4his have. beerrpriYited.iri JEdrecorobe itVlhieFree lays,) their (ame will live and shine i on the page of, Bistory'hineindeed ! rottea wood will shine ia the dark, and so may. 3 ohnson'a fame ; and I dare say Fair Play wiil yet sume in Edgecombe.. Mr. I? air Piay concludes by saying Doctor Hall f has worn his honors welM may he wear them long." : Doctor Hail's honor's i; Well, that is something more 4han any body fcyer said the Doctor had before. If he ever had honors, my friend, they were uj ts,VIUb PI1S iiugccomoe, not in congress. 11 ne naa honors in Uon If greis, ue uas, as you say, worn i tUem el!. and worn themctoeour too. His honors rest upp tire baseless fabric of a vision'i-they rest . where your uuderstandmgopon diligent iearcb, may be found " in the wide abyss oX possibility."

But starid forth minion, you are dancing in a net. j , You say to One of the People," you have only the hissings of the viper, without bis angs, his venom, without his shaft," (I never heard of a viper's thajl before,) but l wui uc uiurc t;jttiuauic iuvaius yuu , i win say you are a viper, wan iangS, yenom shaft and hissings, raised in the same county" with Doctor Hall, a praise yod seem to covet.

But further, says Fair Play, "Congress ordered the public monies to be deposited in the Bank; fend authorized the Executiveto remove them; Without the previous ac tion of the legislative, there would have beeh none of the executive power in this in stance at least." It is a fact, I thought universally admitted, that Congress never did authorize the Executive to remove the deposites But to reason upon this to such a creature as Fair Play , is throwing pearl before swine.?' I But his reasoning amounts to this :': If Congress had not created a bank, there would have been no bank ; how could I he deposites have been removed, if there had-been no charter f ergo the de- pOSlteSj Were reraoveu, ullU lU.c? itrgibiaiivc auu cAauuvc icmuvcu iiiciu. uiigui icoj- L-what powerful logic I and b air Play concludes " the, executive power was ly dormant until brought into action by the legislative ! ! 1" O wiseacre!
