COL OUTLAW ON NULLIFIcAToN.

we present 10 tne peopIe Vi tIe vim" w.
gressional District, from The Raleigh Star OF l2lh
October, 1882, the following communication,
which we have reason to believe was written by
Col David Outlaw, of BERTHE. An "anti-Nulll-
fcation Meeting" had been held at Hiilsborongh
on the 18th Of September Of the same year, OF
which Duncan Cameron was Chairman, William
Montgomery and James Mebane Assistant Chair
men, and John w. Norwood, Thomas J. Faddis,
and William J. Bingham Secretaries. This
Meeting passed strong Resolution against Null
lifcation, and was addressed, among others, by
Judge Nash, Daniel l. Barringer, and Willie r.
Mangum. The latter was fairly cornered, but he
fought his way out like man. He said ne had
been charged by his enemies, whether through
ignorance or malice he knew not, with being al
NuIlifer. He spuraed the charge a0ith indignG-
,;ou. He viewed Modification as a rank and
0ure a6surdity; and had told the Nulli6ers that
they were preparing another chapter In The his
tory of The Hartford COnUentiOn; that Nulli6ca-
ton would ruin every man pOho a0ould put his
finger to H." Judge Mangum will not deny
this and yet four lIule years from this date he
ceived the vote of the nullifying State of South
Carolina for President! 1t was this speech
which drew forth "Albemarle;" and all must con-
fess that the writer gave it to the Judge at round
rate.
We have no room for comment upon this re-
markable production but leave it with the people
of the Ninth District, with the single remark that
we have good reason to believe Col. Outlaw the
author of it, but that, if he denies it, we will come
forward promptly to do him justice:
From the Raleigh Star.
THE HON. WILLIE P. MANGUM.
Consistency is a Je1cck.
II was with deep astoniShmenl, ming led with re-
gret that the writer observed in the last Raleigh
PAPERS that the gentleman whose name is prefxed |
TO this article, late naturalization meeting in
the county Of Orange, openly denounced the doc !
trine of Notification I" rank and pure absurdi- |
V" Passing over the criticism, which naturally |
suggests itself, that whatever is rank cannot be |
pure, and whatever is pure cannot be absurd, |
the writer will proceed TO remark, that mind
what the honorable gentleman's convictions at
this time upon that subject; never mind what his
opinions may be upon the success or the effects OF
The doctrine upon those who advocate il in this |
State, thing is certain and histo-
Ty itself that lilIe better Than two years since,
when his 8" honor' rode the Edenlon Circuit, if he
did not entertain he gave utterance to entirely dis
similar sentiments. The writer has a most vivid |
recollection, that during the pendency Of the dis
cussion upon Foot's resolutions, in the Senate of
the United States, that Mr.. Mangum expressed a |
concurrence, both in thought and feeling, the |
doctrines advanced and advocated BY Messrs. |
Hayne and Rowan. Ii is within the memory of
all, that upon this rank aud pure absurdIIy,"
he gave Tone 10 the members ofthe legal profess
ion, and to those people who had the good fortune
10 hear and hang in raPtures upon the magic
strains of his mellauous lips.
Is il NOT we'll known, that two winters ago in |
Raleigh, while he canvassing for Senator in
Congress, the following emphatic declaration was
imputed TO him, aud never 10 the writer's knowl-i
edge denied either by himself or friends viz
thai if he was a elected Senator, he would 90 10
the Congress of the United States, with the char
Ter Of our liberties in one hand and a drawn sword
IN the other"
But the writer has abundance of proof TO con-
vicl the houorab bic gentleman Of having cultivated
and disseminated this rank and pure absuIdily, )"
Down TO a far more recent period. Yes, Judge
Mangum, the wrlter charges you in the face of the
good people Of The State Of North Ccarona with
having been more instrumental in pIopag eating The
doctrines OF Null fcatiOn in the State than any
other citizen. And the writer viii establish
ii by single fact, which the writer de6es you
to deny. Did you not, sir during the last Session
OF Congress inuudate the State, under your frank
ing privilege, with certain political pamphlet,
containing MIR. Madison;s Resolutions and Report
10 the Legislature of Virginia, Mr. Jrfrrson's Ken
lucky Resolutions, and Mr. CahOUn's Expose &c.
&c. where the doctrine of Notification clearly
the sovereignty ofIhe States establish
ed, and the right of State inIerpostion enforced?
Is it not then passing strange, if you have never E
entertained the Modification creed, that you should
have endeavoured nstil it in the minds of others?

aud patriotism should have busted yourself in ill., :

Rest assured Judge Mangum that you do your q q
enemies injustice, when you say, that they, :
through ignorance malice, have charged you =
with this fatal heresy. II is an gorgeous mis-
lake. No il your friends-your warm, sim : :

or your talents, and, they fOndy hoped, for your
rankness and your fearlessness. Z
The writer regrets exceedingly that your speech
delivered at this Orange Association was not
published in ertenso. The writer would have de- G
lighted TO have learned your scheme for the RENE 9
dy of our grievances. II appears that you appre-
hend more danger from a Southern Convention,
Than would result from Notification. Pray, then,
what remedy DO you propose Is it petition, pro-
lest and remonstrance? They have been tried, Z
