Mr. Calhoun and a Tariff.
No one among the leading men of the coun
try has give» a more vigorous suppoit to the
great doctrines of the American System than
Mr Calhoun; now a candidate of the Opposi
tion for the Presidency. The duty ol protect
ing domestic industry and developing the re
sources of the country by judicious plans ot in
ternal improvements —principles which have
been acted on to a greater or less extent, ever
since the adoption of the Constitution, was urg
ed by him in the House of Representatives with
masterly eloquence, in a series of speeches
which secured lor him at the tune the reputa
tion of being a bold, far sighted, and enlighten
ed statesman. These im, erishable records of
his genius and patriotism, fortunately remain
lor our benefit and instruction. They teach us,
what the illustrious Father of the System had
all along taught, that it is only by establishing
at home our workshops in all the depart...enis
of useful and ornamental labor, and, especially
the literary and scientific institutions, which are
the great laboratories of thought, that we really
become an independent people.
While we neglected ttie developement of our
resources, and looked abroad for a standard ot
opinion and usage in morals, politics, and all
the departments of public and private economy,
our national existence was a mere name, and
the establishment of the System which Mr. Cal
houn, as one of the leaders of the democracy',
advocated with so much ability, was, in tact,
neither more nor less, as has been so often said,
than the completion ot the great work of the
emancipation of the country'. Hence it is that
the statesman who had the honor of connecting
his name with this system, was long regained
by' the Democratic party as the second lounder
of our national independence.
Mr. Calhoun, as we have already intimated,
was secund to no one, in his advocacy oi this
system and we wish we had room to present
on-readers with the entire speech in which,
more perhaps than in any other single efiort, he
shadowed lorth “the most magnificent scheme
of national policy ever advocated by any man
in America, hardly excepting even Alexander
Hamilton himself” But our limits forbid, and
we transfer from a paper lay ing before us a
summary of its views, with the splendid perora
ation.
It was this speech, says the National Intelli
gencer, “which was the cornerstone ot the tem
ple of Mr. Calhoun’s fame, contributing more
than any other to his subsequent political ad
vancement.” And what were the measures ad- ,
vocated in this speech ! Beginning with elo
. quent warnings agains that feeblcpolicy to which
he, Mr. Calhoun, considered this people pecu
liarly inclined, and which he denounced as tar
more dangerous and fatal, than the Roman or
French extreme of military ardour, what sys
tem did Mr. Calhoun in that palmy and vigor
ous period ot his career when ambition, section
al pride and jealousy, had not yet tainted his
generous impulses, advocate as the road to the
common good and general welfare of the coun
try!
Ist. A powerful Navy. An arm of service
which costs less per man, said Mr. Calhoun,
was less dangerous to our liberties, more fotmi
dable to foreign powers, more efficient for home
defence than any' other branch of it.
2d. A strong Army. Arming the militia, ex
tending their term of service and making them
efficient.
3d. The establishment of Banks and opening of
Canals in various parts of the country. “Let ils
make great permanent roads, not like the Ro
mans with views of subjecting and ruling pro
vinces, but for the more valuable purposes of
defence; and connecting more closely the interests
of various sections of this great country.
4th. Proper encouragements to the industry of
the country. In regard to the question how far
manufactures ought to be fostered, Mr. C. said
"It is the duty of this country, as a means of de
fence, to encourage the industry of the country,
more especially that part ol it which provides
the necessary materials for clothing and de
fence.” Agan, he said: The question relating
to manufactures must not depend on the abstract
principle that industry left to pursue its own
course will find in its own interests all the en
couragement that is necessary. I lay the claims
of the manufacturers out of view: on general
principles, without regard to them, a certain en
couragement should be extended al least to our
woollen and cotton manufactures.
5. A strong coast defence by' means other
than the navy, particularly at the mouths ot tie
Mississippi and ot Chesapeake Bay.
It was after an elaborate and powerful de
fence of all these measures that he uttered the
following admirable peroration, which justifies
all the praise it received when delivered:
“1 have faithfully, in discharge ot the sacred
trust reposed in me by those for whom 1 act,
pointed out those measures which our situation
and relation to the rest of the world render ne
cessary for our security and lasting prosperity.
They involve, no doubt, much expense; they
require considerable sacrifices on the pait ot the
people; but are they on that account to be reject
ed? We are called on to choose. On the one
side is g eat ease it is true, but on the other, the
security' of the country. We may dispense
with the taxes: we may neglect every measure
of precaution, and feel no immediate disaster;
but in such a slate of things, what virtuous, what
wise citizen, but must look on the future with
dread? 1 know of no situation so responsible if
not properly' considered, as ours. W e are by
Providence charged not only' with the happi
ness of this greatand rising people, but in a con
siderable degree with that of the human race.
We have a Government of a new order, per
fectly distinct from all which has ever preceded
it. A Government founded on the rights of
man, resting not on authority, not on prejudice
—not on superstition, but reason. If it succeed,
as fondly hoped by its founders, it will be the
commencement of a new era in human affairs.
All civilized Governments must in the comse ot
time conform to us principle's.
Thus circumstanced, can you hesitate what
course tochoose! The road that wisdom points
leads, it is true, up the steep, but leads also to
security and lasting glory. No nation, that
wants the fortitude to tread it, ought ever to as
pire to greatness. Such ought and willcertain
ly sink into the list ot those that have done no
thing to be known or remembered. It is immu
table; it is in the natute of things. The love ol
pleasant ease and pleasure, indifference about
the future, that fatal weakness of human na
ture, has never failed in individuals or nations
to sink to disgrace ani ruin. On the contrary,
virtue and wisdom, which regard the tuture,
which spurn the temptations of the moment,
however rugged their path, end in happiness.
Such are the universal sentiments ot all wise
writers, from the didactics of the philosophers,
to the fictions of the poets. • They agree that
pleasure is a flowery path, leading off among
groves and meadows, bul ending in a gloomy
and dreary wilderness; that it is the siren’s
voice, which he who listens to is converted into
a swine. This is the language of fiction. Rea
son teaches the same. It is my wish to elevate
the national sentiment to that which every just
and virtuous mind possesses. No effort is need
ed here o impel us the opposite way; that also
may be but too safely' trusted to the trailties of
our nature. This nation is in a situation simi
lar to that in which one of the most beautiful
writers of antiquitv paints Hercules in his
youth. He represents the hero as retiring into
the wilderness to deliberate on the course of
life which he ought to choose. Two Goddesses
approached him; one recommending to him a
life of ease and pleasure; the other of labor and
virtue. The hero adopted the counsel of the
latter, and his tame anil glory are known to the
world. May this nation, the youthfu I Hercules,
possessing his form and muscles, be inspired
with similar sentiments and follow his exam
ple!’ ’ — Ncwark Advertiser.
The Mississippi Valley—the Great West.
Respecting the resources of the vast empire
west of the Alleghanies, and of the steady and
rapid development ot the agricultural and other
treasures with which it abounds, the St. Louis
Republican of the 17th instant thus speaks :
~ TV surprise— some of-our eastern cotcinpora
ries to hear the papers in this vast valley dis
cuss its progress and change. Every year de
velops some new feature or hidden store of nat
ural wealth, which opens to enrich the hardy
pioneer and add importance to its trade. As a
hemp, tobacco, sugar and cotton growing coun
try, the Mississippi Valley is second to no re
gion in the world, and the already vast quanti
ties of these commodities which are produced
are yearly' on the increase. During the present
season our steamers have penetrated the Des
Moines and Platte, two streams which before
were considered unnavigable, and thus not only
increased the extent of their navigation, blit
opened a direct communication to market for
the produce in the districts adjoin, rig.
Every exchange we receive from above, eith
er from lowa, the upper portion of Illinois or
Wisconsin, all bring intelligence to us ot the
increase and flow of immigration into those
sections. The rich bottoms of our own State
are rapidly becoming populated, and but a few
years will elapse before this vast extent ol ter
ritory will be teeming with life and cultivated
by sinews that willforce from it its inate wealth.
All that is needed to complete the extent and
vast resources of the west, is an enterprising
American population in Oregon; the opening
of that outlet to the Pacific, and the trade which
will naturally concentrate there, will finish the
might of this region. The Mississippi Valley
will then be the great heart of this country, and.
will provision and sustain with its mighty re
sources the vast veins stretchingto either ocean.
Another Murder.—We learn that a murder
was committed in Greensborough on Tuesday
night of last week, upon the body of Mr. Ste
phen (Seaborn) Pollard, of Taliaferro county,
by some person or persons unknown. Mr. P.
was on his way from Taliaferro to Greensboro,
and had taken supper at Mr. Hart’s, between
two and three miles from the latter place. Aftet
supper he left for Greensborough, and was found
early on Wednesday morning, just out of the
corporate limits of the town, in the corner of a
fence, bruised and mangled, senseless and
speechless. He was immediately taken u|
but before getting him to any house, he wa
dead. His horse was tied to the fence, but hi
saddle bags were gone, from which it is suppos

In population, London is a nation in hersel.,
the number of inhabitants has doubled in forty
years, and now amounts to one million nine
hundred thousand. In 1842 it will contain two
millions! In length, from east to west, the
houses extend in one line between five and six
miles, and in breadth, from north to south, near
ly four. But if we include Chelsea at one ex
treme, and Blackwall at the other, and take the
breadth from Walworth to Holloway—and
these are now certainly portions of the Great
City—we shall have London covering a 1 ove
thirty square miles ol ground! And then hei
river, bearing upon itssuiface the ships of eve
ry nation; and her docks—the East and West
India Docks, the London Docks, the Commer
cial Docks, and the St. Katherine’s Docks, to
gether covering more than live hundred acres,
teeming with valuable commodities; and one of
them, the West India Docks, capable of ac
commodating five hundred large ships.
To the port ot London alone, in 18-10, there
belonged 2350 ships of 501,000 tons burden,
and manned by 32,000 seamen; in the same year
there entered the port trom British colonies 1083
ships; trom her own coasts, including colliers,
20,205 ships; from Ireland, I)J7 ships; from fo
reign countries, 2355; which, with 310(1 British
vessels, formed one year’s trade. What can
compare with this! London contains one hun
dred thousand inhabited houses, one half of
them having shops attached, j The yearly con
sumption ol porter and ale is 2,000,000 barrels,
all brewed in the place; of sheep, one million
four hundred and three thousand four hundred
and sixty-six have been sold in Smithfield in
one year, together with one hundred and eighty
three thousand head of cattle. Many miles of
ground in the vicinity are occupied as market
gardens, and have spread over them manyjiun
dred acres ot glass. 70,000,000 of foreign eggs
are imported, to say nothing of the millions pro
duced at home; 12,000 cows afford an insuffi
cient supply of milk, the Irish and Dutch send
immense quantities of butter, Ireland also sup
plies bacon and pork.
The water companies send into the houses
237,000,000 of hogsheads of water in a year;
the gas companies produce 10,000,000 cubic
feet ol gas daily, which feeds 100,000 lights; the
paving for a year cost above x‘200,000, the sew
er rates X 400,000. There are six thousand ho
tels, taverns and coffee houses, and twenty the
atres, besides concert rooms and exhibitions of
various kinds. London issues nearly 30,000,-
000 newspapers; has steamboat accommodations
lor 10,000 passengers daily; from London ex
tends 1000 miles of railway, laid down at an
expense ot X 47,000,000; with fifty nine canals,
at a Cost of 4214,000,000. Through the post of
fice pass 70,0J0,09(1 of letters in a year, whilst
the amount ofcash paid by the London bankers
through the clearing house in 1841, averaged
£75,000,000 monthly. Will not these few facts
assist in giving some idea of the immense scale
upon which all that relates to London must be
considered, before a coirect knowledge ot its
state can be arrived at.—lllustrated
O’ It is not by the exclusive cultivation of
one faculty—however astonishing the result
may thus be obtained —that a truly great mind
can be reared; nor is it by the exclusive cultiva
tion of the intellectual powers, while that ot the
moral feeling is neglected, that a truly greatand
good character can be developed.
Home Affections.—The heart has memo
ries that cannot die. The rough rubs of the
world cannot obliterate them. ’1 hey are memo
ries of home, early' home. There is magic in
the very sound. There is the old tree under
which the light-hearted bt.y swung in many a
summer day, yonder the river in which he learn
ed to swim, there the house in which he'knewa
parent s love, and found a parent’s protection—
now there is the room in which he romped with
brother or with sister, long since, alas! laid in
the yard in which he must soon be gathered
over-shadowed by yon old church, whither with
a joyous troop like him-elt tie has often followed
his parents to worship with, and near the good
old man who gave him to God in baptism.—
Why even the very school house, associaied
in youthful days with thoughts of ferule and
tasks, now comes back to bring pleasant remem
brances of many an attachment there formed,
many an occasion that called forth some gen
erous exhibition of the traits of human na
ture. There he learned t, tell some of his
best emotions. There, perchance, he first met
the being who by her love and tenderness in
after life has made a home for himself hap
pier even than that which his childhood knew.
There are certain feelings of humanity, and
those too among the best, that can find an ap
propriate place lor their exercises only by one’s
own fireside. There is saeredness m the privacy
of that spot which it were a species of desecra
tion to violate ! He who seek's wantonly to
invade it is neither more nor less than a villain:
and hence there exists no surer tests of the de
basement of morals in a community, than the
disposition to tolerate in any mode the man who
disregards the sanctities of private life. In the
turmoil of the world, let there be at least one
spot where the poor may find affection that is
disinterested, where he may indulge a confidence
that is not likely to be abused.
FiutAt, Affection, —A uutiiul and obedient
daughter always makes a devoted and faithful
wife Let no man as he values his own happi
ness, marry a woman of an unfilial nature. In
spite of the guile of lago, there was much wis
dom in his remark to Othello, when exciting the
Moor to suspicion of Desdemona’s integrity,
“She has deceived her father, and may thee !”
There is no trait of endearment more pleasing
than the confiding tenderness of a young maiden
in the care and vigilance of her mother. If she
oe an only child, the pleasure with which, we
contemplate hefsilent and cheerful acquiescence
in every maternal dictate is greatly enhanced.
When the sentiment of love is first awakened
in the heart of such a one it seems rather to
deepen than divert the stream of filial affection.
No man should be so selfish or so unwise as to
desire the lessening of that pure and holy obe
dience, which is the best assurance of his own
enduring felicity. Happy is he who has won
for himself the fond love of a young creature,
whose,life has been guarded by’a mother’s pray
ers, and into whose spirit the gentle influences
of a mother’s mind have descended, like dews
into the petalsofa flower, which might else have
faded in the morning of life.

nant of Napoleon’s army if Russia.— l was lately
an eye-witness of a terrible scene. The regi

fully at Minsk, has in the retreat from Mo: eow,
been altogether cut up, mostly by the frost.--
Siegle bodies arrive by degrees, but, in the main,
in a most pitiable plight. When they reach

wagon.
On Sunday' forenoon I went to the Einx seen
Bad and found a crowd collected round a car,
in which some soldiers had returned from Rus
sia. No grenade or grape could have disfigured
them as 1 beheld them, the victims of cold. One
of them had lost the upper joints ot hi« ten fin
gers, anil he showed us the black stumps. An
other looked as if he had been in the hands oi
the Turks, for he wanted both ears and nose.—
Most horrible was the look of a third whose
eyca wo-ie iivzon ; the eyelids bung do .. a, rot
ting, and the globes of the eyes were burst, and
protruding out ol the sockets. Il was awfully
hideous, and yet a more hideous object was to
present itself.
Out of the straw, in the bottom of the car, 1
now beheld a figure creep painfully out, which
one could scarcely' believe to be a human being,
so wild and distorted were his features. The
lips were rotted away, and the teeth exposed.
He pulled the cloak away, from before his
mouth, and grinned on us like a death head.
Then he burst out into a wild laughter; began
to give the command in broken French with a
voice more like the bark of a dog than anything
human ; and we saw that th* poor wretch was
mad from a frozen brain. Suddenly a cry' was
heard, “Henry! my Henry!” and a young girl
rushed up to the car.
The poor lunatic rubbed his brow, as if try
ing to recollect where he was; he then stretched
out his arms towards the distracted girl, and lift
ed himself up with his whole strength. A shud
dering fever-fit came over him. He fell col
lapsed, and lay breathless on the straw. The
girl was removed forcibly from the corpse. It
was her bridegroom. Her agony found vent in
the most horrible imprecations against the
French and the Emperor, and her rage commu
nicated itself to the crowd around her—especial
ly the women, who were assembled in consider
ablenumbers; they' expressed their opinion in
language the most feartully frantic.
I should advise no Frenchman to enter into
such a mob; the name of the king himself would
help him little there. Such are the dragon-teeth
of wo which a Corsican Cadmus has sown.
The crop rises superbly; and already I see, in
spirit, the fields bristling with lances, and the
meadows with swords. sou and I, doubtless,
will find our place with the reapers. — Reminis

For the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Mr. Editor—l had hoped that my duty was
finished as between .hi’ Cumringliairt, Esq ,
and the notorious gentlemen, Messrs. John
H. Wilson and Samuel McGowen. I had
supposed that those gentlemen, who had been
published by Mr. Cunningham as "cowards,”
for having refused to accept his demands for per
sonal satisfaction, would have conjured up suf
ficient spirit, even at the eleventh hour, to wipe
off the stigma' which had been placed upon
them. But in this 1 have been mistaken—have
been disappointed even in the latent temper of
their steel; and discover from, your paper of
yesterday, (the 31st ult.) that they have consi
dered prudence the better part of vidor, and pre
terred a newspaper squib to the more dangerous
composition of gunpowder and lead.
The singular character ol their commtliiiea
tion, and the grounds upon w,bich they have
placed their refusal to noticeMr. Cunningham’s
demands, require that I, as his friend, in bear
ing notices of those demands, in justice to him,
and to place the public in possession ol correct
information, should publish facts which will
strip from these men the cloak of their cowar
dice, and give to the public, to whielrthey have
appealed, their proper character.
But first I premise, that as regards the act of
sending such a letter to a lady (see copy' of
which they have published,) I do not sustain
Mr. Cunningham. It is a moral wrong which
1 condemn —and my advice to him, as a con
sulted friend, is seen in the letter of apology
which he wrote to that lady. And here, for a
full understanding of matters, and to evince the
bitterness of the persecution waged against Mr.
Cunningham, let me digress to state, in this
connexion, flic's in regard td that apology', and
the offensive letter which called it forth.
I sought the residence of Major Allston, at
Abbeville, under whose roof the lady resided;
I said to the gentleman that I was authorized to
apologize to him, so far as lie felt that any in
dignity had been offered to his house by the pen
ning of such a letter to a lady under his pro
tection, atid that I had a written apology for the
lady herself, which I would deliver in person if
she would accord to me au interview. Major
Allston said to me, that Cunningham had now
done all that, as a gentleman, he could do, and
so far as he was concerned, he would take him
to his “bosom again;” but as for the young lady,
he could not answer, but would see 1 her as to
the interview'. She appeared, and after the
forms of introduction had been gone through, 1
introduced my unpleasant mission in a manner
as delicate as I was capable. She received,
read and kept the letter of apology, thanking
me for the delicacy' of my' conduct, but firmly
saying, w’hile she could neither forgive or for
get, she hoped "God” might forgive
The affair, then, standing in this attitude—
the gentleman with whom she resided having
expressed himself satisfied—l ask of the public
what right had these chivalrous men to prose
cute i: to persecution and public, insult?
The answer, Mr. Editor, could doubtless be
found in a base spirit of professional and politi
cal jealousy', which can alone actuate low
minds; and in a spirit of animosity thereby en
gendered in a certain fafliily clique in the vil
lage of Abbeville, to one of whom thqt “abomi
nable libel,” (to w'hich they to briefly reler,)but
scorching letter was addressed.
Their statement about this “abominable li
bel,” is given in such a manner as to leave the
impression on the public mind that Mr, Cun
ningham himself had w'ritten some base lefter
to another lady. Mr. Cunningham did not
write that letter; it was a note addressed by his
wife to a lady who, while she was secretly' pur
suing underhanded means to injure Mrs. Cum
ningham through her husband, was exhibiting
towards her the most hypocritical and treacher
ous friendship; and it was intended to give that
lady to understand that Mrs. Cunningham had
been ignorant of facts and her conduct, when
she had accepted her exhibitions of friendship;
and that she acknowledged no friend who was
the enemy of her husband; and least of all would
accept the friendship of one who, looking to the
notoriety of her .own family' and connexions,
should liave been the last to have cast a stope at
her husband. The public can now' catch a
glimpse at lhe character of this'“abominable
libel to another.lady of our village.”
Under the hollow pretext of'resenting an in
sult to this young lady, some time since sin
cerely apologized for, they have-proclaimed a
war of annihilation against Mr. Cunningham
to answer other, and I have no doubt, sinister
views.
But again, after the apologies were made, Mr.
Cunningham’s father, at my suggestion, called
upon Major Allston to ask for the oflettsi e let
ter. Major Allston said he would see the lady,
in whose possession it remained: he-saw her,
and replied to Capt. Cunninghum that the lady
declined to give it up, bv,\. said it should, be destroy
ed. Os this lactl was informed by Capt. C., the
father.
The first that wc hear again of this letter, is
its publication in the communication ol Messis.
Wilson and McGowen in your paper, six or sc
ven weeks a ter we had supposed it committed
to the flames. 1 ask where is the faith of that
promite?
Again, how could these bachelor gentlemen
have obtained that letter for their peculiar use,
but by the consent ol that young lady? I will
let the public estimate the delicacy of permit
ting such a letter to be published in connexion
with herself, even though the name be suppressed:
for wherever the letter is read, curiosity' will
learn the name. I equally desire the public to
calculate, if its scale be on a sufficiently narrow
principle, the courage and chivalry 'of these
men, who seek to shield themselves from the
odium of cowardice in having refused challen
ges to fight, by taking reluge under petticoat
protection!
But, Mr. Editor, I proceed to a more import
ant question, the solution ol w’hich by the pub
lic will perhaps remove from, these men the
ground Upon which they have placed, in their
communication, their refusal to notice any de
mand for satisfaction from Mr. Uwnningtiaui.
Does an affair of “gallantry”' place a man be
neath the caste of a •gentleman ! It’s moral
slain, 1 grant; that it should meet with moral
condemnation, 1 urge; that it may exclude a
gentleman from female associations, 1 admit.
But has it been received, among, gentlemen in
the world, even as a rule of moi tils, that it must
consign a gentleman to Coventry ? 1 ask for
the instance. But more particularly, in refer
ence to this issue, has an affair of “gallantry"
ever been regarded as placing a man without
the pale oi the code of honor? Was there ever
an instance of a brave man, or even a coward,
before this, contending byway of apology for
not fighting, that an affair of “gallantry” placed
one beneath the caste of a' gentleman, and
therefore that he was not responsible to such
an one ? If a w'ell authenticated instance, a
mong received gentlemen can be adduced, 1
giant these men can maintain their position
without the imputation of cowardice; but if
net, they have already called'upon the public
to pronounce. For the negative position which
I assume, I call upon this and the public oi
South Carolina —the scene of this contest —
to refer to the history of society. Even
when the sacredness of friendship and the sanc
tity of married life is violated, the base seducer
is still regarded as being within the code of
honor, and often called upon lor satisfaction,
even by the injur d husband, upon terms ol equal
combat. And has the opinion ever be. n enter
tained, even for a moment, that a third person,
unconnected with the injured party by any tie
of blood or relationship whatever, could refuse
a personal demand made upon him by the se
ducer for an offered insult ? The idea is ludic
rous and absurd. 1 put a strong ease, that the
decision may be the more decided against this
paltry excuse, most ingloriously manufactured
for the occasion.
I assume, then, that however wrong Mr.
Cunningham may have acted toward* that lady
in addressing the note he did, (and unquestion
ably he was wrong, as he himself conceives, as
will : e seen from his ample apology published
by them,) these men were bound by every prin
ciple of honor and courage, (not by the princi
ples of cowa.uice) to answer him in a personal
meeting for the insult they had offered.
But 1 will demonstrate this more clearly, by
advancing to the “facts” adverted to in my sec
ond paragraph, and which I feel bound to make
known, not only as the friend of Mr. Cunning
ham upon those occasions, but as his relative.
I do this without his knowledge, or information
as to whrt he designs to do; their communica
tion could not reach him at Abbeville by course
of mail before Thursday night next, and 1 de
sire at once to tear off’their gossamer cloak, and
let them satisfy the public of some other pretext
for refusing to stand, at any' given number of
paces, before a pistol in hand.
Your readers are already informed, through
your columns, that when I bore a challenge
from Mr. Cunningham to Thus. C. Penin, Esq.
—one ot the distinguished trio—we were arrest
ed at the instance of the said Thomas C., who him
self made the oath, under a magistrate’s warrant.
At this juncture, I called upon this Mr. Samuel
McGowen, and said, that 1 had a challenge
from Mr. Cunningham for him in my’ hat; but
having been bound over in a recognizance to
keep the peace, I could not deliver it; that 1
was therefore under the necessity of requesting
bis presence in Augusta, Ga. He said, if he
were to go, he would not accept a challenge
from Mr. Cunningham, with the assurance he
mean, no disrespect to myself. 1 then said to
him—Mr. McGowen, I have determined to tight
each one of you who refuse to fight Mr. Cun
ningham, unless you disclaim that you ; iace
y..ur refusal on the ground that Mr. Cunning
nani is not regarded as a gentleman: and that
Mr. Perrin had barely saved himself from a
challenge from me by taking out his wairant,
for that I and my' friend were discussing the
subject of a challenge, when the sheriff’s knock
was heard at the door. Mr. McGowen said to
me distinctly, that he Inj no means would place his
refusal an the ground that Mr. Cunningham was
•inf a gentleman; but that he would put it on the
ground, that not having designed to injure Mi.
Cunningham’s feelings, he did not believe ht
.as bound to respond to his demand. And here,
lermit me to ask, why Mr. McGowen did not
ay thus to Mr. Cunningham’s first polite in
quiry ? If true, the honor and magnanimity o!
t gentleman required it: f trv<, morals am
cligi m required it: and should not now. as at
tempted in the village of their residence, be
thrown around them. Let him who seeks
equity first do equity, let him who rejoices in
ihe moral and religious excitement ol a com
munity m his beh.dl, be first required lu con
form to the fundamental principles ot inoiality
and religion. But to go back to the point It
will Ire thus seen that Mr. McGowen, out of his
own mouth, falsified the position assumed in his
communication as the ground of liis refusal to
meet Mr. Cunningham : lake in connection
therewith the fact that Mr. McGowen for months
after the letter was written to the lady, and long
after Mr. Cunningham was the avowed author,
and even up to the 4th ol July last, when the
public insult was given, recognized and con
stantly saluted Mr. Cunningham as a gentleman.
What say the public now’, to whom be has ap
pealed for a justification of his ground '? To
what mountain of security will he flow flee to
bide his diminished soul I Reason answers —
where ?
But now for Mr. Mm 11. W'dson.—l gave to
him, immediately after the interview with Mr.
McGowen, a similar notice lor Mr. Cunning
ham. But how shall Ibe able pick him from
his position, that Ac could not feel resentment to
a tnan so degraded as Mr. Cunningham—and
therefore could not notice any . emand lor per
sonal satisfaction. I will do it by a processydil
ferent from that by which Mr. McGowen li as
removed; but one, 1 think, equally effectual in
convincing the public, to which they have ap
pealed, that these gentlemen have about equal
claim to intelligent views of honor and consis
tency, as they have to courage and chivalry.
Well! Mr, Wilson — after this most protective
letter was written to the lady—yea, long aft r he
was convinced that Mr. Cunningham was the
author—yea, even after Mr. Cunningham ac
knowledged the authorship,—entertained a cor
respondence opened with him by' Mr. Cunning
ham, which resulted in a challenge of Mr. W il
son by Mr. Cunningham,—which challenge was
not left unnoticed by Mr. Wilson; for it drew
forth an explanation from this same Mr. "Wil
son, upon its being-suspended on the interfer
ence ol friends for the purpose of leaving him
unembarrassed in making'it. It needs but this
simple statement to convince an intelligent pub
lic that Mr. Wilson, by that correspondence, re»
garbed Mr. Cunningham as a gentleman, with*
in the pale of the code of honor. What, now,
will the public say of Mr. Hilson’s newly-assu
med ground? Methinks il will require him to
show some degraded act on the part ot Mr. Cun
ningham, since that correspondence, before ha
can be sustained.
As to the statement that others were omitted!
Briefly to show why Mr. Cunningham was led
to the belieTthat the omission was intended as
an insult to him. For several days he took nc
positive notice of it, anti not until he was in
formed, by’ respectable gentlemen, that the omis
sion was laughed at in this “family clique” as
a triumph, and he was told by numbers that the
omission was talked of on the street as an in
tended thing. Il was thus, that under advice of
high character, he did notice it; and bis first
note of polite enquiry was written and sent be
fore 1 was called in or made acquainted with
the facts.
I have now, Mr Editor, finished an unpleas
ant duty, buMeel fully comjensated in having
done an act of justice to a friend and relative;
who, though he lias acted with the indiscretion
of youth—-and led, too, into that indiscretion by
the base misrepresentations of another, or oth
ers, whom he has permitted to remain sub rosa
in thestorm of persecution, which, with unwont
ed virulence, has spent its fury upon his head,
still clings to his honor—which, in aught else,
remains untainted.
I leave Messrs. John H. Wilson atid Samuel
AlcGowen in the hands of public opinion, where,
as to this issue, they have placed themselves; and
invoke but an impartial judgment upon Meir
conduct from all creeds—the moral, the reli
gious, and that which conforms to the code of
honor. BEN. C. YANCEV.

Transcript of a late cdrresnpndence between
Col. John Cunningham and Mr. John H. Wil
son, to which in argument above I allude.
Abbeville C. H., June Ist, 1843.
Mr. John H. Wilson—Sir—The recent ru
rn’or in this village in connection with my name,
is now placed in a position which will mdre
properly authorize me to protect myself against
the officious interference and covert virulence
of any’ one, who was not required by his rela
tive position or any tie of blood to take an ac
tive agency in the war of defamation which has
been waged against me. The efforts to effect
my ruin, anti through'me that of my taraily,
have been conducted in a manner so secret and
unmanly, that I am forced to adopt apian of in
quiry. 1 Jearn that with reference to this affair,
(the allusion you will fully' understand) you
have evinced an earnest desire to cast odium
upon my name, and to have me ostracized in
this community. And I am further led to the
impression and beliefthat you have been endea
voring to force yourself to the conviction that
by the laws of chivalry and honor, you would
be authorized to hold me to a personal respon
sibility. Desiringtobe informed of your true
position and agency throughout this affair, I
am constrained to address you this note, with
the hope it will elicit :.n explicit answer.
Yourobcdient servant
JOHN CUNNINGHAM.,'
Abbeville C. H., June 2. 1843.
John Cunningham, Esj^—Sir '/our note ol
Ist inst. is teceived.' YoWay; that • -so siring to
be informed ot my true position and agency
throughout tins allair,” you are con trained to
addres.- the note alluded lb, “will, the hope that
itwillolieit an explicit answer.”
As to my true position, 1 think that my con
duct marks it sufficiently well, Jt has" been
openly and deliberately taken trom an impera
tive sense of duty to myself and others. In
common with the whole community, I did re
gard the “affair” as a flagrant indigiiiiy Io vir
tue, and an unwarrantable attempt io injure and
utterly destroy an innocent t tid csronaole wo
man—and 1 did sj vak of it in strong terms of
condemnation, and il this is what you meant in
your note by my “evincing a desire to cast Odi
iim upon your name and have you ostracized in
this community,” then I unequivocally avow
lhe fact.
1 was satisfied I knew the author, and subse
quent events have fully justified my conclusion.
I have no knowledge whateveroi'any “warof
defamation” that may have been waged against
you, or of the manner in which it may have
been conducted. And so tar as any connection
is meant between my “agency throughout this
affair,” and “ofliciouk inierlereuce” or “covert
virulence,” I unhesitatinglydisclaim it. There
has been no secrecy in this matter on my part ;
I have not contemplated injury to your family,
nor am I conscious of having done an act or ut
tered a word at which you could lake offence, or
which I regret or would feel bound to explain.
In regard to what has been or may be, my
course as to forcing myself to cer.ain “convic
tions,” even if I had any settled purpose in con
templation, 1 do not conceive that you have any
right to inquire. Yours, &c.
• J. H. WILSON.
Abbeville, June 3d, 1843.
John H. Wilson, Esq.—Sir—Yours of the
2nd inst. though ca .tiously phrased to place
yourself under the shield of the community,
clearly indicates that wZZ. a course which, pass
ing beyond the right to entertain an individual
opinion and to coni ol your own conduct, (which
1 freely accord to every member of society) de
prives’you of that cover to which you would be
otherwise entitled. And fora full illustration
of what was meant in my first note, by “odi
um” and “ostracism,” I now specifically charge
that yoti did, once and again, force your opin
ions upon the attention of the gentleman, with
whom I and my family board, with the evident
intent to poison his mind and destroy that friend
ly intercourse which existed between us, and so
pertinaciously that yo . were repelled with the
intimation that you would not be allowed to dic
tate his course. This is one instance, and if the
fact be not “unequivocally” denied you will
please to consider this note as a demand for that
satisfaction which is due to a gentleman, in
which case Mr. Yancey my friend, who will
hand you this note, is fully' empowered to make
all nece.-sary arrangements.
Yours respectfullv,
JOHN CUNNINGHAM.
Abbeville, June 5, 1843.
John H. Wilson, Esq.—Sir—l have been
applied to, as the friend of Mr. Cunningham,
two or three times, to suspend that portion of
his letter to you, of the 3d instant, xvhich pre
sents the alternative of a challenge, that you
might be relieved from the unpleasant position,
in ils present character, of answering the charge
made, which I am informed you desire to do.—
While 1 deny the right to ask it, and therefore
dec! ine to withdraw, as it is not inconsistent with
the rules of that code by which we are pro
ceeding, to state in a challenge the ground upon
which it is based. I now do so solely in accor
dance with the earnest request of the gentleman
upon whose information the charge is made —
whose conscientious scruples as to personal
meetings makes him extremely solicitous that
no barrier, however imaginary, should exist to
your unembarrassed answer. Mr. Cunning
ham, to the other portion of that letter, will ex
pect an explicit answer as to fact.
Respectfullv yours,
"BEN. C. YANCEY.
Abbeville, June sth, 1843.
John Cunningham, Esq.—Sir—Mr. Yan
cey’s note of this date having withdrawn the
. latter part of yours of the 3d in. taut, 1 shall
forthwith 1 eply to ils contents.
I disclaim all intention to plae ’ myselt under
the shield of the community, while 1 do not ad
mit that I am, or have been, ultra in my course,
or claim for myself any’ thing beyond what you
freely’ accord to every member ol society—the
right toentertain and’express my own opinions,
and control my own conduct.
I never,did, on any’ occasion, force my’ opin
ions upon the attention ,of the gentleman with
whom you board, willi the intention to poison
his mind, or destroy’ that friendly intercourse
that existed between himself and your family:
nor am 1 conscious, at any time, of having at
empled to dictate to him his course in relation
to you and your family, and certainly never wa'
repelled w ith the intimation alluded to in you
note. I did have several conversations with
h::t gentleman on the subject, in which, opin
ions were freely interchanged; but I never ex
-1 pressed to liim, or to any one, a malevolence or
malignant feeling towards yopr lamilyr-ncnc
was ever entertained. And it any opinion, act
or expression of mine ever hxbiced him to fl "
bi hel taat I wishes, or inietii, <1 to injure you
fatally, then 1 unhesilatingiy ■■. y, that no such
impression was evt r intended to be made.
Yours, &c„ J. H. WILSON.
Abbeville, June 6th, 1843.
John H. Wii.son, Esq.—Sir—Your note of
yesterday was handed to my friend at a late hour
last night, and 1 takean early hour this morning
to reply.
Desiring that this corresjiondence may be clo
ser upon amicable and proper grounds, I sug
gest the following alterations, which will make
it acceptable. The second paragraph is irrele
vant; in that, it is not called for by the interrog
atory contained in my Soie of the.3d instant;
raises an issue of opinion between us as to
what is an uUra course, (which might embar
rass the other portions of your letter, and which,
under present circumstances, may as well be
waived,) and misapprehends what I have said
as to right, which 1 “accord to every member
ol society,” (as you will perceive by reference
to that portion oi my lefter of the 3d instant, to
which _\ou allude,) inasmuch as you s y the
“right to entertain and express niy own opinions,
and control my own conduct,” and which por
tion is, in this language, “the right to entertain
an individual opinion, and to control your owu
conduct.” If you designed, a« 1 conjecture, to
quote my admission, you will see the error; if
you intended a declaration ol a right you claim,
you will at once discover its irrelevancy to the
interrogatory put, and that it raises an issue
which (in looking to an amicable adjustment)
may well be avoided. ’1 lie objections, you see,
go to a withdrawal of the second paragraph of
your letter of the sth inslant.
The remaining portion will be entirely ac
ceptable, by including myself tn the disclaimers
as io my lamilv. By reiercnce to my letter of
the Ist inst., you wili sec the propriety and im
portance of litis; 1 thei’c, in thAir respective con
nections, used ihe terms “aiithonsed on: to protec:
rnyseli,” “been waged against me,” “eflorts to
reflect "'ll/ lUin,” “io cast ooimti upon wyname,”
“to have w • ostracised.” .You will perceive
that 1 now require this only, as called for from
the commencement, and as the material point.
Your having introduced me it) one part, where
you sdy, “nor an. I conscious at tiny time of hav
ing attempted to dictapt to hire, his course in re
lation to you and youiWiily,' leads to the hope
that the omission to faa*ltde me in the other
■ parts of lhe discittimesjas resulted from inad
vqrtance rather ' Il such be a cor
rect conjecture. yW*s!®B»lWtatingly supply
omissions, and especially it you design your
disclaimer for me. If so designed, (that you
may fully understand.) I will specify the inter
lineations I desire, and which if inset .ed in your
reply, will render it acceptable, where you ceny
any intention, &?. .“ to uestroy (hat friendly in
tercom se. that existed between hitnseli and your
family,” I desire the insertion of ihe words you
and alter the word “and” and. before the words
“your family;” also, the same words'into the
sentence “never expressed to him or to any one,
a malevolence or mr’fe.nant feeling towards
your family,” after the word “towards” and be
fore lhe evords “your family ” also ip the sen
tence “and if any opinion, act or expression of
mine ever induced him to the beliefthat I wish
ed or intended io injure your family, then 1 now
unhesitatingly say, that no such impression was
ever intended to be made,” after the word “in
jure” and before the words “your family.”-
Will the withdrawal and alterations suggested
be acceded to.
Respectlully yours,
J. CUNNINGHAM.
Abbeville, June 6, 1843.
John Cunningham, Esq. —Sir —Your note ot
this date is received, and 1 will reply to.it in the
spirit in which it seems to have been dictated.
As I intended the second paragraph ot’ iny note
of yesterday merely to negative what is said in
yours of the 3d inst., about “ultra course,” &c.,
and did not intend any thing more than to quote
your admission, and as 1 do not conceive the
matter material, 1 have no objection to waive
the whole paragraph. In regarfl to the first in
terlineation suggested and to he made m the
third paragraph oi my, lasi, I make it without
any hesitation, as I inl it ed to negaiive (tir.i
thought that Iha ?, dune so-,)'the rem re ciiatge
contained in yours of the 3d inst. That para
graph (the third) Ol my note wi.h the inierline
ation. is an answer to lhe whole'specification in
your note of the 3d inst.; to wDich I untie 'lots.!
the issue to be narrowed. The fourth and last
paragraph of my n’ote was not intentled in reply
to yours at all, but as a voluntary disavowal on
my part, of any unkind feeling towards your
family, which I understood you supposed me
to entertain.
Yours, &c. J. H. -WILSON.
