The New York Tribune, the organ of the Aboli-
'ion Wings of New York, gives the following rea-
son. why Mr.. Fillmore should not Be the Whir cam

MR. FILLMORE AS A CANDIDATE. The Albanv
State Register had lately letter from Cayupa Coun.
" OF which the drift Gas we remember it) was that
PRESIDENT Fillmore was remarkably popular in that
ms native) County. ahhough it would probably send
neiegate to the Wing National Convention in favor
thought to which we invite attention. ~. ..
II s not true that the resistance Mr. Fill.nores
denomination is mainly ncited by disappointed aspi.
ration and personal hostility. These impulses are
not absent, but President in power and popular
with the masses might set them at defiance. The
real and formidable nPedments to that re-nomina-
tion are mainly, '.-. ....s -
l. consciousness tha: the Whg party is plainly
committed to the One-zsrm principle, oy its own re-
Peated Protestations as well as by profound convic
hunter must ever be strongly tempted to abuse his
patronage to subserve personal ends.
2. general feeling that his nomination would, to
moral certainty. he followed by his defeat-that it
would be only laying him out for his political funeral,
and exposing him to the reproach of having wanton-
", sei6shly broken down his party. .. -.
$. strong conviction that there is another eminent
and capable Wing, who, if harmoniously nominated
and not overburdened, be triumphantly elected"
Greedy is right about the one-term principle. The
Wings Of the United States are clearly and express
ly committed to that principle and We know it was
urged in this State. in 1874, as of the first impor-
tance. Northern Wings are disposed to hold on to
this principle, because its operation would set Mr..
Fillmore aside; but the Southern Whigs in order to
secure his nomination. are ready to repudiae it. 1t
was {" good enough Morgan in 1874 and ls4s; :;
but noW, having used it for effect and as one of their
weapons o: humbug and deception, they are dispos-
ed to give it the cold shoulder and 90 in for two
terms. 1t was good rule as to the Democrats, bot
it is desperately bad one when it affects Wings.
Greely's third reason for IS slauehtering Fillmore
is entitled to the particular attention Of Southern
Whigs He says there is :" another eminent and ca
pable Whig. who, if harmoniousIy nominated, and
not 0perburdened, be triumphantly elected -
meaning Gen. Scott. That is, Gen. Scott must not
undertake to carry the weight Of the fus,ive.slave
law-Southern Wings. says Greedy. must take him
as he is, or just not take him all. What will they
dot They will do right, if they will only act accord
ing to their honest impulses and in view Of the vital
interests Of their secon but if they should make
their minds to 60 with S,anly, Mangum, and Badger,
they will soon find themselves in the Scott ranks
with Seward and Greedy as seconds in command.
We clip the following precious and important piece
of infor nation from the last Wadesborough Argus !:
"GEN. DocKERY-THk GovE ERNoRsHlP. The name
of our esteemed fellow citizen, General Dockery.
having been good deal spoken Of in connection with
the office of Governor, and we'll knowing that his
claims to this distinguished position will be urged by
friends in the approaching Wing State Convention,
unless his feelings the subject be distinctly un-
dersood in advance. conceive it to be due to the
Whig cause to announce that General Dockery could
accept of the nomination if it were rendered to
him.
General Dockery is known throughout the State
as true and ardent Wing and it would afford many
of his party we'll ourselves much pleasure to
support him for the high and honorable Office Of Gov.
of North Carolina-to which his long and faith
ful public services eminenty entitle him -; but we
know his wishes in relation 10 this matter, and can
not ask him to make the sacrifices which his candi.
dacy would necessarily involve. We therefore res
pecuy ask his friends to turn their thoughts to some
other name in connection with the Governorship in
the approaching canvass"
Cameron, of the Argus, is indeed sad dog. ..The
name of our esteemed fellow-citizen Gen. Doekery,
having been good deal spoken ofin connection with
the office of Governor" &C., &c. Now, we take it
upon ourselves to affirm that brought Gen. Dock
cry forward for this hono-hat he has not been nom
mated BY single Whig meeting or Wing newsPa-
per- and the truth is, seeing the immense mistake we
had made as to the Generals popularity. we were
about. coming forward ourselves to, withdraw him.
But Cameron, always the first to do . good thing
over the left ft'-steps forward. plants himself in
our shoes, and gavey takes il upon himself to anc-
pate US n this business, thereby deprving US Of the
opportunity of leading the General off the track, as
we had led him on, with the most profound express
sions of respect for his 6rmness Of purpose and
great strength of intellect" ':f ..-.
But we cannot blame the General for declining
to run, whatever may think of the conduct OF the
Argus. There is much more solid comfort tor the
inner man. in the Congressional per-diem. than
there is in hot contest for Governor with defeat at
the end of it, Gen. Dockery has doubt long since
come to the conclusion, that "a bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush." Cameron is s. bird," and
Gen. Dockery is a-member Of Congress.

The ilIustrious Hungarian. Louis KossurH, passed
through Wilmington and Goldsborough, a few days
since on his way North. The journal of Monday las,

rather unexpected, and consequently no preparation
had been made to give him public reception: He
visited ST. James, Church in the morning. and after
the exercises had closed returned to his quarters at
the Hotel, where large number Of our citizens had
