Gen. Paul Barringeawas rather a
Federalist in political sentiment,
and voted that why all through life ;
was not a great advocate of the war
of 18J2 ; was an Adam's man in 1828;
intensely Union in, 1832 ; a Henry
Clay Whig in the. Ion? fight with
Jackson and Van Buren, and a Har
rison man in 184.0
He rather favored a Protective
Tariff, and always thought the South.
in error in staking all on slavery,
rather than constantly diversifying
its interests and industries. On this
line he favored railroads, factories,
etc., subscribing freely to such en
terprises, aud lost $2,000 stock iri
Raleigh and Ga3ton railroad and
$5,000 in the Concord factory, and
sent most of his slaves to his farm in
Mississippi, because he thought them
unprofitable in the old states.
In a long and active public life he
had only one political personal con
troversy: that with Hen. Chas.
Fisher, of Rowan, in 1832-3 in regard
to Nullification.
In a very able printed circular he
made things warm for Mr. Fisher
a
and the "Hot Heads" of that day,
cordially sustaining even "Old Hick
, ory" in his war against dis-Union,
except as a last dread alternative. It
is a remarkable document and wor
thy cf republication, and is in the
following language :
TO CHARLES FISIIEE, SALISBURY.
Sir: I have just seen a circular
of yours, addressed to the people of
Rowan, in which "an unprovoked and
unprincipled attack is made on my
charac ter. My business with you
now, is not to commence a paper
warfare between us; that is an art
in which you are schooled and in
whih you would have great advans
tage over arfy individual who was
- not disposed to condescend to the
cunning arts of misrepresentation
for which your public character is
proverbial ; my object is kto defend a
, reputation, which has been of some
value Co me.in life- In this whole
matter I have been on the defensive.
I have been frequently questioned
as to the politics which you and
other public men held; and as far as
I knew them, I honestly .and fears
lessly answered such enquiries, as I
had a right to do in this free coun
try, where, except among the nulli
fying "faction to which you belong,
it has not been held "a crime to
tpaak, without reserve, of the politic
cat principles oj puDiic.men.
In this way, I suppose, you be
came charged with holding opinions
unfriendly to the Government and
Union under which we live: upon
which, I understand, you took: oc
casion to make me the subject of
violent and vindictive abuse,, in
vour stump Bpeeches- This drew
forth the fetter inwnich I put the
Charge in writing ana wnicu is nuw
t made the excuse by you, or renew
ing this abuse. That I have been
on the defensive, is shown by all
the facts. But, sir, if my position
weretherwise, you might find, by
fatal experience, that your public
conduct and the whole tenor of
youfklife, with the motives which
have uniformly governed you m it,
would show that you might bo more
liable to! just reproach on their ac
count, than, in your political self
righteousness, you vamly imagine.
Tuis rich field, however, is kit for
Others who may choose to reap it.
And now, sir, as to tho main ques
tion between us, The substance of
the charge acainst you is, that on a
certian occasion, at my house, when
speaking on the subject of separa
tion. disuDiou, &c. I heard you dei
chre, "that N- Carolina had noth
ing to lose, but every thing to gain '
by Reparation:-That 6he (N O)
wouldbecome hrrgelyj engaged inl
manufacturing! .and that , South
Carolinaand Georgia would be to
her (N. C.) what the South was now
to the North, hewers of wood and
drawers of water." This is the sub
stance of the charge, as contain e'd
in my ietter and as expressed in
every conversation I ever had with
any person. I do solemnly repeat
my .conviction of its truth, and
pledge myself, in the assertion, be
fore God and my country. And, sir,
how do you attempt to answer it?
Why, as might have been expected
by all who have any knowledge of
your publio life, whenever it was
necessary for you to secure a cer
tain object (your own self-promo
tion) you have tried to evade,
equivocate and obscure your an
swer, by referring to dates and
immaterial circumstances, and by
alleging that I must be mistaken as
to the time. You try to fix the
time yourself, and then argue from
your premises. Now, sir, there is
in my letter no allegation as to the
precise time : my belief : was and
still is, that the conversation took
place between three and four years
ago, and as I thoughtin the spring
of the year that Rivafinoli came to
this country; as to the precise time,
howover, I may readilybe mjstaken,
without its affecting the main ques
tion. A man may be too particular j
to be honest; of the truth of which I
have no doubt your own political;
experience has furnished you manyi
proofs: but as to the main charge,
I know I am not in error; I can have
no hesitation about it: The sentin
ment was too remarkable and
strikmg to be forgotten or misunderstood-
It was to bo expected
that you should deny it, especially
on the eve of an election, when you
are not accustomed to look truth
in the face, and when all your stock"
of artful misrepresentation is
brought into active use. I am cor
roborated by every conversation
ever held since 'that time on
this subject. I am willing thai
every person with whom I ever con"'
versed, should be interrogated as
tothe consistency of the statement.
I am sustained by all these, at a
time when I had no possible motive
to misrepresent you, or to make
disclosures, except what ought to
actuate every citizen in this coun
try, who has an interest i;i its wel
fare oris attached to its institution?.
I am willing that the very letters of
which you speak, as having been
written by ie to certain persons in
Rowwrn, should be hunted up and
their contents disclosed; they will
sustain me.
llut look again, at another evasion
and wilfftl .misrepresentation, in
your circular. You say tha't inl828
there was "no talk in the country,1
about nullification, etc. j" now, sir, I
assert, that it was in and about this
vtry time 4hat this new light doc
trine, ufJknown to the constitution
and the sages who made it, took its
rise inS. Carolina, and there be
cam, with disunidb, the subject of
public discussion. The fats are tp,o
notorious to bemistaken. I have
no doubt you well remember them,
as you are inthe secrets of the nul
lifying party; but public sentiment
in this innate would not justify you
in the attempt to give thei lid or
encouragement here- Now, howev
er, you are avowed as a nullifier, not
because jcu -wish it to be so, but
because your cour.) could not be
niiouiiderstood or longer concealed;
and you must needs make a desper
ate struggle to retrieve the political
fortunes of yourself and the party
to which you belong. Was it not,
sir, about this time, 1823, that the
political parties in S- Carolina be
came) arrayed against each other?
Was it not this very year, that tLe
famous Repoit was made in ti e
Legislature of that State, in which
wis treated and defended in an
laborati HrgarnntMhis g inn doc
trine of Nuric cation, then falsely
called the doctrine of Jefferson and
Madison? Was it not before yiiB,
in the year 1827, that your infidel
associate and fellowdabourer in the
holy cause of Nullification and dis
union, Dr. Cooper, at a large pub
lie meeting of his party, at Colum
bia, S. C, made his notorious and
infamous declaration, that it '"was
time to calculate the value of the
Union?" You well remember the
heartfelt indignation that thisasser
Hon created among all the friends
of our happy form of government,
and the talk among the people that
this odious sentiment generally pro
duced, and you well remember by
what party alone that sentiment was
defended. Everybody remembers,
too, that it was about this time that
you were thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of manufacturing in N.
Carolina, as proved by a certain
report of your own, whose princi
pies you have entirely deserted.
These facts, established by the
public documents of the country
all prove, even at the time of which
you speak as beincr at mythouse ac
cording to your own statement,
what subjects were uppermost in
your mind and most cherished and
dwelt upon by the party to which
you belong.

Cihs, Ffbtr 'Hill,
Now about Segars, before
the war -I always smyked Hen
ry Clay's but since the old
man is dead his boys have let
the brands run down and Lhad
to give 'em up entirely. I find
the only place I can get a de
cent Segar is at Fetzer' s Dfrug
Store. Did you ever try 'em !
well, you just drop in there
some time. You won't be
disappointed. Fetzer seems
to have the knack of getting
hold of about all that's worth
hating in that line, and the
fact is you'll get a better Segar
tlfere for five cents than ninev,
tenths of the Segar stores in
the county wiyive you for
ten.
Anl by the way Fetzer's
is the best place in he State
for iced drinks, Soda water,
Lemonade, and such stuff, if
you ever drink anything as
mild as that. I do occasion
ally. A man will get a little
behind on water sometimes,
you know.
STIE,
