1.-THE two, I'd show that Gen Dockery one from the
working classes farmen a WAGNER, a brickma-s
ken and that Mr. Bragg is one of the supper ten, =
entirely removed in feeling from mechanics and far
nersa sort of aristocrat or to use their own ex-
preston, sband-box candidate" Now, we propose
to mention few facts to show how far Mr.. Bragg
removed from the great body of the people-the
bone and snew of the State, upon whom all others
dependent for the bread they eat and the shirts
they on their backs.
Mr.. Bragg's father, as every body knows, was a
mechanics house carpenter. He was an induStri-
ous intelligent and highly respectable citizen of
Warrenton for many years; and half the citizens of
town now living in houses he built. He rails
ed his family here, and every body knows, who have
been long residents of the place. that member of
it could be rightfuly accused of idleness-they
were an industrious family. One of the brothers of
Thomas Bragg is a carpenter now engaged at his
trade in Alabama; two others are merchants in the
same State. One sister married merchant tailor
a clever, honorable gentleman; another one married
a farmer of Tennessee, and another merchant of
Petersburg Va. One brother, not unknown to fame
took to the law, elevated to the bench and aft
erwards elected to Congress. Another brother (who
hips not heard his namely entered the national School
at West Point and has since enrolled his
spcuously among those of the military heroes of
country.
Now who will say that Thomas Bragg has no feel
ing in common with the working classes of the
try? He sprung Immediately from mechanic; and,
are not his brothers and sisters among US to this
day, engaged in the laborous but honorable pursuits
of life? And even candidate himself is far
mer and as good 4 farmer, dare say, Gen.
Dockery. But he is zaaoyer, say the Wing papers.
Yes, he is; and what is greatly to his credit he has
sufficient intellect industriousy cultivated it has
been, to entte him to position in the front rank
of that honorable profession in the State. Yes he
is lawyer, that would not be disparaged if placed
beside Haywood, Badger, Miller, Ransom
a Moore But where would Gen. Dockery be in such
company? Such stuff we sometimes see in Wing
papers, and such expedients they to hum
bug their readers, enough to nauseate the stom
achs of the printers devils employed in putting it
in type. Wurrent0n Neacs.

HUMAN LIFE All! this beautiful world Indeed,
l know not what to think of it. Sometimes it
is all gadncss and sunshine, and Heaven, it is not
far off. And then it changes suddenly and it is dark
and sorrowful and the clouds shut out the sky. In
the lives of the saddes of there days like this
when feel as if we could take this great world in
our arms. Then come the gloomy hours, when the
fire will neither burn in hearts or on our hearths

the world knows not and oftentmes We call man
cold, when he is only sad. LonQtellouo's Prose.

A BATCH OF FALSEHOODS.

| We find the following batch of falsehoods in the
Raleigh Star, copied from the Milton Chronicle:
"Thomas Bragg, Esq, is opposed to Internal I'm
provementS.
Mr.. Bragg, brother of the Captain" is opposed to
the poor Mechanic retaining lien upon the houses
| he builds with his hands and oacn materials,
until he is paid for his labor.
Tom Bragg is opposed to Stay Laacs for the especial
| benefit of the poor unfortunate debtors.
Tommy Bragg is opposed to developing the mineral
resources of the State.
Mr. Bragg is opposed to excmptng from executi IN
for the debts of the husband, few acres of land
that come by the scite home for her and her
young children.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
Thomas Bragg, ESQ.,. is in favor of LNPRLSON-
NEWT FOR DEBT!
We dare any man to deny single item in the
above 6iW"
Isn't that cool ?-six falsehoods crowded together
one after another, and not one of them having the
semblance of either plausibility or ingenuity.
The Chronicle dares any one to deny them thus
adding impudence to vile batch of lies
appeared in print
This is specimen of the manner in which Mr.
Bragg is misrepresented and assailed The cause of
what was lately the Wing party must indeed be in
desperate condition when such efforts resorted
to to uphold and advance it.
- The President and Mr.. Dobbin made but
brief stay at Old Point, having been called to Wash
ington by important business. A correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer, writing on the Oath, says:
The company here now is large enough, and not
too large, numbering from $50 to 200. Amongst
the distinguished guests, President Pierce and
lady and suit consisting of Gen Cass, the Secretary
of the Navy the Presidents Private Secretary, Sid

Saturday afternoon the officers of the Army and
Navy, here called on the President, and were pre-
scented to him, Secretary Dobbin and Gen. Cass, by
Col. Crane. This morning the President received
and exchanged salutations with such of his fellow
citizens as chose to be introduced to him. I was
very much pleased with him. AS expected, I found
him to be polite and agreeable dignfed but cordial
and graceful in his manner. Gen. Cass looks better
than expected to him, and steps about with the
elasticity of youth l was much struck with Secre-
