The canvass is waxing warm in this District
and we learn that Mir. Fisher is greatly an over
match for Col. Barringer on the stump An es-
teemed correspondent says:


"The campaign in the Second District is OPEN
ed in good eanest. The candidates met at Lin
conton at the late special Term, and addressed
large and attentive audience. Col. BarriDger open
ed the discussion. He defended the T arf system
generally, and particularly The act of 1842 and ex-
planned why he voted against its repeal. he was
for Texas, provided It could have been obtained by
treaty-said MIR. Polk was right on the Oregon
question, but thought him imdiscreet in saying so
in his Inaugural. He went the full length for
Whiggery. Mr.. Fishers reply was distinguished
for calm reasoning conclusive arguments, and
unwaivng eloquence. Upon Texas and the Tar
if he was triumphantly eloquent He proved that
Col Barrnger had voted against the Resolution of
annexation, as his friends had before voted against
The Treaty of Tyler, and that he was against Tex
as in every shape.


"The opinion is daily gaining ground among
the Wigs that IL is most doubtful contest,
whilst the democrats are in the finest spirits. The
hopes of the Wings are down. They fell with
Clay, while the democrats animated by the
brilliant triumphs in Virginia and Florida, and con-
fden,iy hope TO add North Carolina (now the only
State South, not democratic) TO the support of her
native son, James K. Polk"


We are compelled to condense what our
friend says, and regret we have not room for his
entire letter. We clip the following from the last
Jeffersonian


PUBLIC SPEAKING.


We understand Mr.. Fisher, the Democratic can
didare for Congress in this District, will address the
people of Union county at Monroe. on Monday of
their ensuing County Court, the 7lh day of July.
He will also address the people of Cabarrus at
Concord on Tuesday Of their Court. the 22d July.
On Saturday the 26lh July. he viii address the
people at Ed,card B. d. iSlo0n's, in the upper
part Of this County, and on Monday, the 2sth, he
will speak At Charlotte, being Monday of our
Comfy Court. We presume Col. Barrnger will
accompany MIR. Fisher at these appointments. We
hope he WILL for we wish the people TO hear them
together.
