part OF every one at all acquainted win /
MIR. Seiberry. He is a gentleman ev-
cry way worthy Of confidence, and is
known as man of strict integrity and |
honesty Of purpose, and we can assure !
the writer Of the article alluded to that |
those who lack confidence in him do .
not rightly estimate his character nor !
his position in the cmmu-
nifty" This, indeed, is endorsing Mr.. /
Sedberry's character in the suprrla-
tive degree. 1t would seem that he is
almost solitary exception, | appre.
bend, from my limited knowledge of
the depravity of human nature, that
but few men are entitled to such cha.
racter, and that still fewer could rea-
Oily obtain such an endorsement by
reliable man. | am, however, aware
of the facility with which recommends
tons are frequently obtained in cases
of emergency. If the Carolinian had
not exceeded the usual extent Of a ju.
dicial oath, and qualified it by saying
+" to the best Of his knowledge and be-
lief" | am inclined to believe it would
have answered quite as good purpose.
And perhaps he might as well have
omitted the following: Want Of con-
fidence in the present Inspector causes
surprise on the part Of every one at all
acquainted with Mr.. Sedbsrry." 1t
rather has the appearance of an insinu>
alton that those who unfortunately dis
agree with the writer in Judgment as
to the very exalted estimatisn (aboye
all others,) in which Mr.. Sedbcrry is
held by every one Eat all acquainted"
with him, have disposition, il not to
SANDER, to at least detract from his re.
al character. The writer of this arti-
Gle has no disposition wantnnly or un-
necessarily TO impugn the moral cha
racter Of any one; nor will he, unless
from necessity be drawn into any
such unpleasant alteration. Before
the Caroinian So widely expanded his
unqualified and fulsome eulogy upon
Mr.. Sedberry, by which he evidences
! a disposition TO reflect upon all those
who, unfortunately, alter considera
BILE acquaintance with his friend, are
forced in some degree TO different
conclusion as to the real position he
occupies with every one sat all" ac-
quainted with him-he ought to have
born in mind, what he undoubtedly
knows, that Mr.. Sedberry's acquaint>
ance is quite extensive, FAR more than
co-extensye with the carolinian itself,
lnaslnuch as his name and character is
more intimately blended with the in
lterest. lie is man Of great notorie-
~ amongst the wheat growers, millers,
and barrel makers; his character is Ia
military known, to some favOrably and
to others not, and freely canvassed BY
all who feel interested thrOughout the
back woods; and il the writer in the
Carolinian will take the trouble Of max
ing the acquaintance Of those flour
makers and vendors, aud silently lis
ten TO their experience at the Fayette-
vile Ware House, he will not repeat
the foregoing expression, '' that every
one at all acquainted with Mr.. Sedbcr-
nv has in him unlimited confidence. "
Nor need he, IL he Is truly DESTROYS Ia
know ia what estimation the proceeds
ing at the -four ware house is held by
some intimately acquainted there, ira.
vel out of his own tuwn. More than
one amongst the respectable merchants
Of the place, flour Dealers have said
, 10 me that there should be two iloul
ware houses and al least two lnspec.
tors; that owing 10 the crowd of wag.
ons frequently, and other incidental
circumstances, they considered the in.
spection as it was frequently conduct.
sd mere mockery; that they did moi
consider the Inspectors brand any suIC
indication Of the qualify % the flour
that they believed, in the hurry OF bu.
siness. injustice was frequently done
and that often impositions were prac'
ticed on wagoncrs on the account o
cooperage.
The Caroliiian saws, the Inspector
has paid money out % his own pocke
to put barrels in order. This | an
prepared TO believe, knowing that Il,
llas frequently passed green barrels
