]. NJ. BARRETT AGAIN.

- fis LA AhA ~ Az hiAN'
Having laid before our readers. in our
last weeks paper part Of The correspon.
aence Of Barrett, together with some OF tho
circumstances growing out Of his arrest
and mpiisoument; we resume the suhJecr.
with view of publishing oher parts OF
The correspondence, mol only TO himself,
but 10 gentlemen Of The highest respeca-
bili,y in this, and an adjoini g District.
II is impossible TO write, or even think
on this subject with equani'nity of tenn.
per. To have internal scamps prowlIng
through our Stale, under the garo Of reli>
gion, some under the preence of reddling
ir1ing articles Of Merchandise, collecting
statistics for Gazelleers, &C., aud some we
believe under the preteuce Of peddIing 10.
bacco is enough TO Try The patience aud
iorbearance Of any people. This last
scheme, il our suspicious he correct, ought
10 be looked inlo by the proper authoril'es.
Such men as Barrett, are moi able lhem-
selves to make this crusade against our
peace, our rights and our property; they
only become the willing tools of hypo-
critics Of all denominations and demagosues
of every party the whole receiving sup
port aud encouragement by acts Of The
Northern Legislatures, violating the Con
sliluliou Of the United States. Thus are
we assalled, moi by individuals ohly, but
by Legislatures Of Sovereign States; which
assaults, if committed by one independent
nation on the rights Of anHher. would be
just cause of war. From strangers and
foreigners we sometimes LOOK for acts Of
injustice aud aggression; bur whelf these
injuries are received from the hands Of
brethren, aggravated by the mos, insulting
epiIhels. carried on by an indomirahIe
perseverance. aud by spirit characterised
by reckless disregard of all the mos, Solemn
obligations, it sickeus the heart, il destroys
all claims Of fraternity. all the ries oi ma.
,ionalily. We can see no means Of redress,
no position Of safety, but our own strong
right arm. We have more to say on this
part of the subject, to which we may call
the attention of our readers in future
number.
The following is copy of letter TO the
Hon. Fl. c. Young, of Laurens:
Mr.. YoUNG-Sir: Study your coun-
,ry's good. Give freedom to your ne
groes; aud do not 60 TO the expense of
building negro houses. lie, the negroes
look 10 their own Interests. and build hou.
ses f,r themselves. They will mol be so
liable to he burnt down. Hire them. Pay
them wages. When you die they will
bless your memory. Your influence can
do something 10 the benefit of your Stale.
Use il to change The present ruinnus policy,
aud let us have better Government. See
10 what sort Of Lesisalnrs you have"
Yours for Carolina
TRUE PATRIOT.
If the aboye is net piece of cool mpu.
6ehcc. we don't know what is.
The following is copy from au original
letter which is on our table. directed to J.
VI. Barrett: from Cincinnati:
"Yours of May q has just come TO
hand. Very sorry, You have been sick,
and SO long detained in Columbia. think
ynu had better quit that Gazetteer business.
The fact is Ibeleve it will tall through,
frorh whn. can learn about i; and Ander.
SON ss not able to publish it. think llp
amoHnt Of it will be that B. (the editor Of
ir) will himselfu undertake to carry il through
upon smaller plan and more econoni-
cal one. So he intimated to me To-day.
The fact is. those fellows have never count
ed The cost of such work, aud further.
more. i don't believe that any Of them is
competent 10 the business. / advise you
any how to say or TO nothing more about
The Gazc',er. Your health is bad, AMI
some of US will hint up some o;hcr busi-
ness for you, to keep you along 10 your
travels. Yours, sc. w.
~ opened this to add something TO il.
Direct your letters hereafter To Daniel NJ.
Marsh, Chewiot, Ohio, unlill direct you
otherw ise." 3. Fl. w.
We behave certain renegade by the
name of Brisbane, formerly a Bahtst
preacher in this State, to he the author of
she above letter. This Brisbane. we think,
left the lower part Of this State, where he
resided. some twelve or fifteen years ago.
Many of The people Of this District will
remember him as Delegate 10 the Bethel
Baptist Association, at New Hope. We
do moi remember The whole of his name,
but think il to be William II. Brisbane the
initials of which being reversed would be
The signature to the letter. B. II. w. We
tlo noi pretend TO know, but we also he.
lieve this man TO be The author Of "Caro.
liuian," or "Brutus.''
