POLITICAL.
From the Richmond Whig dr Public Adv.
The Washington Chronicle charges us with having
deserted Mr. Calhoun. It might with equal propriety
and justice make the same accusation against 9‘J-100ths
o! the state Right Party of the South, We have acto.l
as others for good und sufficient cause have acted.
Mr. Calhoun deserted the State Right Party, and then
we deserted him. We recognized no cannon, which
rendered it obligatory upon us to pursue him upon his
winding way —to follow in his footsteps, when we saw
they were leading us to the sure disgrace of our party
and the destruction of all our the ished principles. We
have long admired Mr. Calhoun, and in common with
a large majority of the Southern Wli gr, would have
preferred him before all other men for the Presidency,
llijt our admiration was based upon the known excel
lence of his private, and the supposed integrity of his
public life—in our confidence in his firmness of purpose,
in his high moral courage and h s fine ab.lities. When
thes •, the basis of our admiration gave way and vanish
ed like a dream, our admiration vanished too. We
could no longer admire the man, who had proved him
self destitute of tire virtues which had attracted our re
spect and esteem —That had been the essence of a man
worship disgraceful and debasing, and against which
we have inveighed for years.
So long as Mr. Calhoun continued a Whig—a foe,
in fact as well as name, to Executive usurpations and
cc ruptions (and it was long before we could believe
lie had ceased to lie sucli—the conviction was absolute
ly forced upon us) so long he held u high place in our
regard, and we upheld linn against all assailants. Hut
when he fell olTfrom grace, when from the stern op[>o
nent, he became suddenly converted into the u|*>logist
and champion of men whom he had formerly charac
terized with the most opprobious epithets in the lan
guage; when, from madness or ambition, he became
oblivit us of his us n fame, r mi of the ) ar: he heretofore
acted, and seized upon a petty and subordinate question
as a pretext for re-oigani.ir,; parties, and foi giving in
his adhesion to the Rogues ’ and Hiwalixts, ‘ lie was
no longer the man we hud admired—his lustre was
dimmed, he was stricken, as it were, from the firma
ment of glory. We felt not merely privileged to cease
to admire him, hut called upon to denounce and exe
crate his ucts. The tendency of his conduct, (it could
neither 1* disguised nor denied) was to defeat the Op
position in their patriotic efforts to reform the Govern
ment, to undo all they had done for the last jive years,
and to continue in power men whe huvo betrayed und
abused every trust, and who stand pledged to pursue
the mischievous and corrupting system, which lias al
ready brought so many calamities upon the country.
Whatever may have been the motives of his conduct,
these must be the consequences, iflie prove successful.
Nome of his crazed and iiitut-iated adherents, who ne
ver will look upon him t|i any other light than as Pres
ident, may have persuaded themselves, ami indeed he
in the fust instance may have persuaded himself, that
by turning a summerset, lie could wrest the reins from
the feeble hands of Van, and supercede him in the affec
tions of the “ Royalists.” This conjecture, which to a
common-sense, thinking man may appear so absurd a
first blush, will lose much of its absurdity when the
character of the day-dreaming enthusiast whom it is
supposed to cnfluence, is considered. They very pro
bably thought they could graft Mr Calhoun upon the
•• Rovaiists,” the idea,once ui their heads, took possca
sion of their whole souls, and they never for a moment
dreamed that in leaping into the camp of the Rogues”
ami Royalists” they might ho handcuffed, and might
be liberated only on condition of becoming “ Rogues ’
and “ Royalists” themselves. We incline to think
they have been thus influenced, to avoid the harsher
construction, that they deliberately, with malice prr.
jieuscafore thought, a]>qstatized and joined the Rovai- -
ists from the mere love of apostacy, or of the corrupt !
crew in office.
We have condescended to take this brief notice of j
the charge of “ desertion” preferred agumst us, Warns
many others stand in the same predicament, and have
like us had their admiration for Mr Calhoun converted
into a feeling very near akin to loathing and abhor
rence. It is bnt due to Mr C. however, lo say,that we
have in some degree, formed our estimation of iris posi
tion and conduct, from the representations and course
of the Washington Chronicle and some lew of the mem
bers of Congress from his State, whs are supposed to
consider themselves not at liberty to wink, unless by
his permission. lathis we may do him injustice.
A GREAT 1) \Y FOR THE COIN TRY.
xo-aay an me Danas 01 ivew c-ngianu, me .viuidic
States, parts of tire Southern States, and parts of the
Western States, resume specie payments. There is to
he a Jubilee there ujioiiiii many parts of Pennsylvania.
We now deem it highly probable, that on the Ist of i
January next, all the other States will have a sound |
and a substantial currency. Tennessee und Louisiana
are prcjiaring. Alabama and Mississippi mast follow
suit anon.
About ten years ago now, tinkers of the currency,
from the Capitol at Washington, where Blind Chance ‘
in tha vvhiilwing cf purtv, had tossed them, promulga- I
ted their dissatisfaction with a currency, then the iiest j
on the earth, considering the extent of country in ]
which it circulated. They then promised the nation a |
better currency, and a hard money government. They i
got control ol” the Federal Government, and of two j
thirds of the States, and they made Hanks, without
number, trebling them in quantity, and in the amount
of their paper issues. —The bubble, thus inflated by the !
Government itself, liur.t on the 10th of May, 1837. 1
For the “ Yellow Hoys that were to flow up the Mis
sissippi,” und “ the Goldcr. Eagles that were to peep
through the interstices of the long silken purse's,” we
have had the Wild Cat money of Michigan, the Nhin
Plasters of tlie Corporations, and “ Good for a Shave,” 1
and •• Good for a Drink,” &c. Ac.; and for the Hard
Money Government, we have had protested treasury
drafts, without number. And lust, though not least,
we now have laws fur twenty millions of treasury notes,
signed by Martin Van Buren himself, the only irre
deemable currency, alter to-day, north of the Potomac,
or the Ohio river ; or in Virginia, N. Carolina, or Ken
tucky !
The Banks now, the 13th of August, 1838, after a
period of intense distress to t. r Nation, have just be n
enabled to take the hack traes to the 10th of May,
1837. We arc now where we were then, the Hum
buggers with their Humbugs, as active us ever, promi
sing now and again, wit h promises as irredeemable as
their Treasury Shin Plasters ; a hard money Govern
ment, for a hard money jieopic, singing the old song of
1834, ‘35, ‘36, and ‘37, that if we will take as much of
Milas Wright's expedients as we took of n\sei|ieriments,
this dose will not hurt us, as that did, but “ tire Y ellow
Boys will |>oaU vely peep out the inlerstiem of the long
silken purses, and the gold and silver certainly flow up
the Misatssipia.'’ We have only to say, to those who
like such Quarks and such Quackery, they are wel
come to take them. A hard money Ciovernincnt and
a hard money People, Slid aub-treasiiries, ton, eiisl in
Mexico, Peru, Chili,uud Cential America ; or over the
Ocean, in Persia, with the Turks, and the W andunng
Arabs, too ; and now tliatthe Federal Government has
reaumed it* connection with Nick Biddle, we advise
them all to enjoy the (iovermneut of their hearts, and
take up their (light to the Deserts of Arabia.

A SHORT STATEMENT OF FACTS.
Having just returned to this city, I deem it my duty,
though a most disugreealile one, to make a concise state
ment of an utlair which recently look place at llarrads
hurg between myself and T. P. Moore. Nothing hut
| thu fact, that Moore himself, in tlie hope of uveriing the
1 disgrace that be saw thickening and blackening around
j bis name, has already dragged the mutter la-fore lire
, public, could induce me to say owe word upan the sub
-1 ject The world feels little interest in private en
counters between individuals, uud I am well awure,
that a news|>uper is not tlie projier place, nor a |arn the
j proper instrument foe discussing them.
My readers may remember, that T. P. Moore, some
1 years ago, challenged ine for certain editorial remarks
and lucked out from the combat because I would not
consent to let him fight from behind a trig tree w.th his
gun resting upon a peg in the side of it. During the
last two years 1 iiave never alluded to him directly or
■ indirectly. A few days ago, I went to llurradsburg,
his place of residence, for the gratification of my family,
j without even so much as a recollection that there was
sucli u being as T. P. Mooro in existence. A day or
I two subsequent to my airivul, a couple of friends, one
| of them an eminent and venerable gentleman of this
j city, having hail a conversation with Moore, sent me
word that the old wounds were still festering in his bo
som, and that I ought to ho prepared lor an attack from
j him. I did not believe for a moment that he really
! contemplated an attack, yet 1 consented, a'tersomo hes
{ itation, lo follow the advice of my friends,
j On Monday, the 13th hist., the third day of my visit
; at the Springs, 1 heard that Moore was on the ground
with his coat jiockets pinned up, as if be were a loco
motive arsenal. 1 took such wra|Kns as I deemed pro
jier, and passed near him several times at the hotel, not
expecting or courting an attack, and not observing any
indications of hostility on his part, except a peculiar
uneasiness and agitation at my proximity. Towards
sunset, when I aupjiosed that he hail gone home, I re
tired to iny cottage, put off ray heavier weapons, and
lay down to sleep. In about half an hour, a highly val
ued friend awoke me, and remarked, that, cut Moore
j was still there, 1 ought not to shut myself up. 1 con
; curred with him in ooinion. and in a few in menu
’ walked out with lnm—but so enfir ly assured was I
that Mooic had no idea of actually assailing me, that 1
neglected to resume tlie trusty w eapons which I had
put oil’. After walking eight or ten step* from my cot
i tage-door, I saw Moore and bis frieud Geo. W. Ward
! coming directly towards me. Thereupon I stopped
and observed his motions, not being willing to pass him
and give him an oppo tunity of shooting treacherously
at niy back, but still deeming it utterly incredible, that
he would assail me there, in the immediate presence of
uny own family an Jof the scores of men, women, and
1 children, that wore coneistantlv passing and repossing
jin all directions. When, however, he approached with
; in about 25 stejis of me, lie stop|>ed, and after exchung-
I nig a few words witli iris friend Ward, drew a duelling 1
I p stal with extreme agitation from his pocket. I imi- I
j tateil Ilia motion by drawing a common pocket pistol,
; still believing that he could not lie miscreant enough to
; shoot in a place like tint, and well knowing from his
: appearance, that, if he were to shoot titty times, I
• should be in no sort of danger. He however fired and
I instantly returned the shot, his ball striking the ground |
within a few feet of his own toes, and mine passing !
through the branches of a tree about 18 inches over his 1
head. No sooner was his pistol discharged than hr j
tl rew it upon the ground and cried aloud that he was
ait unarmed man; and a crowd instantly gathered a
round me, and, for u few moments, forcibly prevented |
me from despatching my assailant. In the mean time
he called out cither to the crowd or to myself, *• Wr I
have exchanged shots with out effect, let us he satisfi
ed.” aud kept repeating in an iinidoring tone and w ith
the gestures of despair, 11 1 am unarmed! lam unar
med ! Ia n unarmed !” He even stooped to the de. j
gradation, known only o thieves and piekjiocketa, ol
throwing open the bosom ofhis vest slid holding out
the tail of bis coat and railing out to .he by-slanders to
search him. In Irsa time than than has been occupied
by this description a duelling-pistol and knife, left on
my mantla, were placed in my hands, and the voice ol
a friend rang loud and clear through the yard—*• Clear
the way for another shot!” The crowd inttan'ly dis
persed from Iw ween me and Moore, but MrU, W. ‘
Ward, cxrlaunmg, •• Will you assassinate an unar- 1
wed man,” slopped forward to inform me in person of
tlie defenceless condition es his prinri|ial. In the tnrsn
time time Moore had stationed himself behind tlie wood
work of a well; and a laige nunibct of my own friends, 1
among whom wore several of tlie most rrwpcrtuhle eiti- 1
wn* of tko State, implored me not to shed the blood of ‘
ill# trflitltJuig un<l )wiw§ tiofoeo Mr, Wi tla auuic ‘
reluctance 1 yielded to these entreaties—gave T. P.
Moore the life lie had forfeited and humbly begged— j
ami saw him hurried by a few of his friends from the
yard.
At the moment when Moore was louring the spot, I
| histrd it huzxrd about among a few individuals, that he
wu willing to ha e a hostile Wcting with me at the
mineral springs, a quarter of a nulo Irom the yard, on
tin- follow ing day at aixo'elork. I merely smiled at the
rriuaik, supposing, of course, that thrra could be no
IHwsible authority for it. About an hour afterwards,
however, to my u ter aatonishment, Mr.G. W. Ward,
who hod sidled Moon's life lor him at my hands, eaine
from that |irr>nagc to a friend of mine with a verbal
message, that he was actually desirous of a meeting
with mo at the time and placed named. Os course, I
received the •• proposal,” ns it out culled, with no other
feeling thun that of scorn unutterable. That a |M-ron,
who hid just made an assnsain-like attack upon me in
the preaeneo of my family and of innumerable women
and children, and to whom I had just granted the boos
of life as a charitable and earnestly solicited donation,
should send such a inessirg ■ to me, and, that a gentle
man who had asked hit life for him ahould be the bear
er of the meaasge, filled me with feelinga to which I
could give no adequate expression My answer was
in these words— 11 1 look upsn T. F. Moore ns a disgra
ced coward. I send him no messages. I enter into
no nrgoeistion with him. I nrithm|know nor recognise
him. lam here on no business connected with him,
and I shall remain here as long as I pinnae, walking
wherever I flunk proper, end, if he cross my psth again
with a menacing look or grsturr, it will hr at his peril.”
This was the reply, which at once suggested itself, and,
notwithstanding its notoriety, t have not heard its pro
priety questioned by any one.
During tlie whole of Tuesday, Moure did not make
hi appearance in the yard, fist lie sent a Laud billupon
tlie ground, tire same that appeared in die Lousville ’
Advertiser of Saturday, m which ho made a pitifii and !
futile attempt to mitigate the iudignatioß and tin con
tempt of the hundreds who had been tlie w itness of his
infamous atrocity ant! his stilt more infamous ctward
ice. Feeling, that it was necessary for him to com ■
ugniu into tlie yard, and not daring to cross my path
without some previous explanation, he sent Muj. D.
Thompson, a highly respectable citizen of llsrrods
burgli, to a fr end of mine on Tuesday evening, to let
me know he designed visiting tlie Hotel in company
w ith Muj. T. on the follow ing day, but authorizing that
gentleman to pledge honor uud life and every tiling
else that he should come with perfectly pacific inten- j
t ons, and, that, however often he might pass me, he j
would scrupulously abstain from offering me either mo- i
lestation or insult. To tins I made no reply, for 1 dm
dallied to send any message to Moore. Dr Graham, i
the estimable proprietor oftlie Springs, afterwardscumc !
to me, and I said to him for Iris own satisfaction, that if
Moore came there and deported himself like a gentle
man, I slio dd certainly commit no violence within tlie
yard. I subsequently saw M. several times, and he
seemed to have as little blood-thirstiness as if lie w ere
an honorary member ol the Massachusetts Peace Soci
ety. 1 occasionally heard of Iris spies and bullies sta
tioned at different points, hut, although 1 visiteil the
mineral spring, his proposed fighting ground, two or 1
three times a day, and went into the town when my
business required it, lie thrust on me uo second oppor
tunity of conferring upou him tlie boon ofhis forfeited
life.
Mr. G. W. Ward, in a i otc published in Moore’s
handbill, alleges that on Monday, he was requested by
M. to say to me, that lie would not attack me in the
yard,rfiut, that lie would attack me if I should show rny
relfat any other point Mr. W. however, alleges, that
he had no opportunity of communicating the message
to me before the encounter. He forgets the tacts. He
certainly did have an opportunity of communicating
the message. He saw me repeatedly not more than
halfun hour before the affray. and pointed me out to
Moore. And, if M. did not contemplate an attack upon
me in the yard, why did lie make it ! Docs he pro
fess to have liven under any apprehension of my at
tacking him ! Audacious as lie is, he has not tlie au
dacity to set npany such plea as that. His actual ut
taek u|hiii ine in the yard is proof that he mtcnlcd to
attack mo there, Ulricas indeed lie was so badly (light
ened us to have no idea of what he was doing.
Whether Moore, after firing his first pistol, was oi
was not unarmed, is to uie u matter of doubt. Those
who know biui are entirely confident that be hud oth
er Weapons, but wanted the courage to use them. One
thing is very certain—he habitually carries other arms
titan a single pistol, and, if he did trot have them at
that time, he had put them offcxprcssly for the occa
sion, intended to make one shot at me in tlie midst of
a I irge crowd und, if he missed, to escape with his life
under tlie abject pica of defeiicelessnesg, or through the
interference of the surrounding multitude. If such
were his views, they were wall worthy of the individ
ual, who, after his first escape, made a public proposal
for a meeting at the mineral spring, intending that not
only the hundreds of visiters but the whole town aud
county should lie present, so that tlie fight should ei
ther he prevented altogether or taken off his hands by
an infuriated mob.
I have staled, in these few remarks, only what I can
prove i>y some of the most respectable men in this city,
and by scores of witnesses elsewhere, who have volun
tarily proffered me their testimony. I sincerely hope,
however, tliat l shall huvo no future occasion to allude
ts the revolting subject. I spurn the reputation of a
holly or a bravo. 1 want no man's blood upon my
hands, I make no pretension to extraordinary courage.
My only boast is, that I dare to state, both in my pub
lic and private capacity, whatever I believe t be true,
and, that I am not to lie turned from mv course, either
as an editor or a man, by all the blusterers uad assas
sins in Christendom.

just now received from Lieut. Gol. R. H. Mason, Ist

ting to me tiie well-ascertained fact tliat tho Ghcrokee
Indians of the Arkansas have invited all tho Chiefs, to
gether witli ull the principal brave* of all the tribes
(excepting the Osagrs and Kansas) residing near our

The object of the council, and the reason for rxclu

Lieut. Gol. states that there is no rlouht in his mind 1
j that the object of the council is In effect a union of the
different tribes preparatory to striking a simultaneous
blow upon tlie settlements of Arkansas and Missouri,
from Red river to the upper Mississippi.
Concurring os I do in this opinion, mid being con

been instigatrd by th* agent* of Mexico, who have In-cn

a combination of Ghrrokccs with all the nations west
