THE CANVASS IN TENNESSEE.

The democrats Of the Hickory State have gone
into the contest for Governor with every assurance
of victory In Aaron V. Brown, their candidate,
they have an accomplished and glorious leader.
MIR. Foster is the whig candidate. The Jackson
Republican gives The following account of the
sparrng at that place between the candidates, 1t
contains good and keen VIII:
"The debate closed with a spirited display Of
spsrring in the way Of wit and evity, in which our
noble standard bearer fairly got the ascendency
even of the 81 immortal E ph )" and though much Of
the ph and force of their saffes will belosl In
imperfect sketch upon paper, we have thought that
rehearsal of them, even In an imperfec: form,
would not be unnteresti1g TO some Of our readers.
Mr.: Brown, being the last speaker, closed his
remarks by saying that his great object had been
To- convinte Mr.. Foster himself of the Of his
wav, and TO draw him back to his old republican
principles and he hoped he had not been altogeth-
er unsuccessful; yet If he had all that he could
saw was, in lhelanguage of Scripture, "Ephraim !!
Eohraim is Joined to his idols, let him aldAe - and
he hoped, on the flh Of August, the people w5uld
After the shouts Of the multitude had subsidized,
Mr. Foster rose and replied that there was another
massage of Scripture, in which certain man by
The name of Aaron was mentioned, who, while
Moses assembled the mount 10 receive the law of
God built golden calf and worshIpped II, and
that it was a fat calf (pointing to Mr.. Brown)
Mr, Brown TepIleQ Ctldt SuCu Was llS ldCI tuuF
Aaron did build golden calf, but that it was made
Of gold, whereas he (Mr. F. made his god of
Clay.
Mr. Foster here found himself in very dIsa-
greeabte situation in endeavoring to reply, amid
the deafening shouts and applause of the democra-
cY, which continued for considerable tfde, to the
great confusion of Mr.. Foster. After the applause
had subsidized, he replied that his Clay god was
formed in the image Of his Creator; that our Gre
alto, made Adam Of clay, and that it would have
been much better had Aaron made his golden calf
of clay.
Mr.. Brown answered that Mr., Fosters Clay
god like all other false gods, had been overturned
Here again shouts of applause were long
and enthusiastic; and supposing the sParring had
ended, Mr.. Brown observed 10 the audience, that
as he was stranger to them, he hoped they would
Give no importanck to their wit and leviIy, but
that they would go their homes and think seriously
anon the grave subjects they had heard debated.
Mr.. Foster unwilling TO leave the stand thus
optwilted. again arose, and said, his competitor
reminded him of a drunken preacher he once heard
Of who. at the close of his sermons always ad-
monshed his congregation TO do as he said, not as
he dad.
All! said Mr.. Brown, looking Mr. Foster IN the
face YOU are for sermonZing: are you? win not

For the North caroli1a STANDARD

The last Observer (Aprh l6th) still endeavors
to extricate its friend Alfred DockeTy from the ri
dieuIous position in which his vanity and folly
placed him last winter in furnishing an article TO
the independently paper printed al Raleigh, in
which General Dockery is stated TO be well known
as man of great frmness of purpose and strength
of intellect" The readers of the STANDARD will re-
collect the correspondence between the late Trea-
surer (Col. Wheeler) and Gen. DockerY, in regard
TO the article of the Independent which has the
words above quoted, and which also contained
matter offensive to the first named person. The
Dote of Col. Wheeler, dated 23d Nov. 1874, calls
Gen. DockeTys attention TO the article relative to
himself and states that "the moment the article
met his eye he went TO the Edllor OF the lndePen.
dent, who informed him that he knew or had heard
of nothing personally officially injurious TO him;
that The article in question had been furnished by
Gen. Dockery, and that he 1oGS instructed to re-
fer to that person as anthoTity," Here is plain
specific statement. The Editor says that General
Dockery furnished the article and he is referred TO
as the author What does that gentleman say in
reply? Hereplies vindicaling the statement and
concludes thus "IconceiDe july just all that
is said in the article" The much -boasted saga
city of Doekery did not see where this admission
led him. The libel which he per2etrated by say
ing in the article that "cerIain purposes were to
be served by having packed committee relative
to the Treasury" was completely put down by the
fact that both sides agreed that he should be Chair
man of the Committee of Finance and after an
in vestigation which would have done credit to
Spanish Inqusition, in a report document No. 30)
made 18th December, ls44, he (Dockery) reports
that the books all balance with accuracy" Why
did Dockery himself father -the offspring laid TO
him by his co.adjutor in whiggery, Lorlng, II 1t
was illegiimate Why did he vindIcate il at the
time when he was charged as the author2 And
now he gets an anonymous writer (perhaps Hale
himsef) 70 say that Dockery did not, butthat he
wrote it, and that at Gen. D0cIeery's request MIR.

The Independent. We shall not descend to
personalities with the Editor of this sheet. His
attack upon US last week was alike unprovoked
and unmerited, and was made, not in behalf Of
the Editor himself, but to conciliate and please
Gen. Dockery. The Editor of the Independent
is too we'll known to the people of North Caro-
lima to be regarded as capable of injuring any
one. We leave him to tester beneath the con-
tempt and scorn of beth parties.
