We repeat that we consider Mr.. Barringers last
statement as establishing the proof that the honor
OF our country was bargained off at the last Pres
dental election between the Pierceites and the
Romish Hierarchy; and that Postmaster General
Campbell is as much the appointee of Pope Plus
TX as if he had been sent directly from that seeth
ing cess-pool of corruption the Court of Rome it.
SELF Raleigh Register.
:. Now, Mr.. BarriDger-in what the Register rather
sneeringly styles his "last statement'-emphati-
cay declares that, in his opinion, there is no foun
dation for the charge preferred by Mr. Rayner, and
so often repeated by the latter gentleman and the
Register; but that paper, affecting to know Mr..
Barringer's mind better than he does himself and
at the same time deliberately contradicting what
that gentleman has said on the subject repeats the
charge, on bare suspicion, without proof and that
too in matter vitality touching the character and
the honor of the country.
The Register refers to Mr.. Barnger's "last state
ment'-why has not that paper given his other and
former statements to its readers? Why his let
ters of the 9th and ssd July still suppressed
Will not Mr. Barringer speak out again in this
matter? Does he not owe it to himself and to the
cause of TRUTH to publish the aohole correspondence
between himself and Mr.. Rayner?
The writer of this article for the Register says he
believes the "honor of our country was bargaincd
off at the last Presidential election between the
Pierceites and the Romish Hierarchy; and that
Postmaster General Campbell is as much the ap.
pointee of Pope Plus TX as if he had been sent di-
recty from that seethng cess-pool of corruption,
the Court OF Rome itself" Now, we are just chari
table enough to entertain the opinion that the wri-
ter delieres no such thing. What are the proofs
Why, at first they were, that the Pope's Nunco
predicted to Mr.. Barringer that Mr. Campbell
"would be" appointed; now they are, that the
Pope's Nuncio heard of the appointment before Mr.
Barringer did! Why, according to this mode of
reasoning the Spanish Government, which is Catho-
lie, and under the influence of the Pope, could be
charged with, and convicted of, the crime of muir
dering Gen. Taylor!-for Mr.. Barringer says, in his
"last statement" that the Spanish Government
heard of Gen. Taylors death before he did. If the
fact that the Spanish Government heard first of the
appointment of Mr.. Campbell, (Which information
was communicated to the Nunco, and by him to
Mr.. Barringer) is proof that that appointment was
the result of corrupt bargain then the fact that
Gen. Taylors death, is proof that it knew he would
die and that it had some hand in causing his DEATH
Such is the logic by which it is sought to establish
this miserable calumny!
Has not the Editor of the Register seen Gen.
Scotts letter. denying for himself and his opponents
this charge of bargain with the Romish Church !?
No doubt he has. Yet he suppresses that letter. as
he is suppressng MIR. Barringer's of the 9th and
23d July.
The Register speaks of the Court of Rome
"cess-pool of corruption" We are as much oppos-
ed the Register is to the Romsh Church, and to
the corruptons of the Papal Court and shall neither
defend the offer excuses for the other; but
there was a cess pool" Of broken down politicians
in Convention in Philadelphia, not long since,
which in our judgment was no better purer than
the "Court of Rome" That "cess-poo" elected as
its Chaplain Yankee abolitionist, who holds the
| doctrine that all will be saved that the criminal
red with the blood of murdered innocents will take
position side by side in Heaven with the meek, the
unbloody, and the "pure in heart" That is a
I specimen Mr.. Register, of the religious opinions Of
your Philadelphia cesspool."
