Nh. HOLDER: Both of the papers here are Whig,
and it is not to be supposed that they would give
Maj. G. w. Caldwell, (whom they both fear as a
politician) fair play, in the statements which they
would make in relation to the recent difficulty. be-
tween that gentleman and Mr. Barringer.
In consequence of this, numerous reports have got
into circulation very unjustly preudicial to Major
Caldwell and from these statements other reports
and differences have been drawn, of character so
entirely false, so notoriously untrue, here where
something of the circumstances known, that it is
nothing but fair that the truth should be made public.
Show me the paper, Mr.. H., that has spoken for
CALDWELL will say the abused man Caldwell-and
will not ask you to publish this communication.
If you cannot show me such one, demand of you,
as lover of fairness and justice, to place in some
column of your valuable paper the following denial of
certain rumors. You can have no hesitancy in do
ing as 1t I'M ure one to say that notorously
false rumors are untrue, and to say such and such
things, reported did not occur, when it is well
known in this community they did not. 1t is to
place Maj. Caldwell on proper grounds, away from
home. among more distant friends that have felt an
interest in his reputation that this publication is
more imperiously demanded.
1t is reported that Maj. Caldwell laid in wait un-
der Sadders piazza for the purpose of shooting Bar
ringer. In this connection it is charged that the at
tack was consequently midnight assassin attack.
1t is all false Caldwell met him there, as he would
in more open field. He met him there by chance,
and had much right to be at that time of night
(between and 10 O'clock, P. NJ as Mr.. Barringer
or any other free citizen.
1t has been reported Caldwell had opportunities of
seeing, and did Barringer during the day. This
is also simply false. Maj. G. had no such opportu-
mites. The first opportunity was the one which ac-
cident brought about under Saddler's piazza; and
Caldwell, smarting under the inficton of serious
published charges and calumnes affecting his pri-
vate character, seized the first chance offered to
avenge his wrongs; and any other honorable man
would have done the same, or been scorned by and
kicked out of all honorable society.
1t is not true either that Caldwell gave Barringer
no opportunity to shoot in his own defence. Major
Green w. Caldwell is no such craven. And in vain
may man work hard all his life for reputation, In
vain may he try to leave to his children sPotless
fame and insulied character the Major has, if so
vile calumny is at breath to sweep all the hard
won results of his commendable efforts away. That
Mr.. Barringer did not shoot, reported, may have
been his misfortune, but fault of Maj. Caldwell.
hope, Mr. Editor, you will publish this. which
attacks the probiy, character and standing OF no one,
but which makes an attempt only to place NAL Cald-
we'll in the proper light. TRUTH.

THE REGISTER AND MR.. BROWN.

The following article from the Norfolk Argus, in
tended for the particular comfort of the Herald, will
apply so we'll to the Raleigh Register about this time,
that we take occasion commend it to the very at
tentive consideration of that paper The Argus
The Herald of yesterday taunts with having
dropped Mr.. w. ]. Brown like hot potato" Such
has Invariably been the of the Democracy,
whenever one of its membess has proved traitor to
the great compromises of the constitution They did
not hesitate to discard and denounce Mr. Van Buren,
and MIR. Benton when they played false to the prln-
Clip les of the South. There is no reason why the
inirgueng Mr.. Brown when detected in his duplici-
ty, should have shared the same fate. We should
be happy toreciprocate the compliment to the Herald
and the Whig party, for pursuing similar course
towards their leading politicians, when they become
recreant to the of the South. But let their
tergversations be what they may, they sustained
and supported. Mr. Clay for the last thirty years has
been opposed to the true interest of the region of
country which gave him birth. He is to this day as
much opposed to the extension of slavery-as much
in favor of ree-soil Martin Van Buren or any 9TH
er citizen in the Northern States yet neither the
editor of the Herald, the Southern Wing party
have ever been heard to sound a note of opposition
towards him. They would unanimously yvote for him
tomorrow were he a candidate for the Presidency.

The Wings profess to be very indignant at the
course of the would-be Speaker Brown. We confess
that he merits all their anathemas. But they had not
