BRAGG AND VICTORY i

sing with Democrats from various quarters Of the
State, and We have also heard by letters from a
number of friends and are satisfied that if the
same spirit which now prevails should continue to
animate the party until the election, Mr. Bragg will
lead Gen. Dockery by at least FIVE THOUSAND
majority. Every where the Democrats are united
and enthusiastic to the Governors ELECTION while
there are Wings in various localities who will not
support the Federal candidate. Push on the column
brother Democrats! Stand by your candidates for
the Assembly, and do your duty by the gallant
Bragg as he is doing his, and glorious victory will
be yours.
The Salisbury Banner has the following notice of
the discussion at Lexington:
'DIsCUssIoN LEXINGTON The candidates for
Governor addressed the people of Davidson at Lex
ington on last Saturday. We have expected some
account of the discussion but it has reached u.s.
We are assured that Gen. Dockary was skinned from
top to toe, and that while the Dockery men hung
their heads in shame the friends of Bragg were in
the highest spirits We have many of the Da-
wilson democracy this week, and they are the most
delighted set of fellows did see. We have
enquired of several Wings, who heard the discus
sion, what they thought of it, but they have given
us very evasive answers and changed the subject
soon convenient They have made no admissions
to u.s. but they have said to others, "Dockery was
used up" 1t was even so"

DR. SHAws SPEECH. The Washington Union, in
publishing Dr. Shaws Speech, which we lay before
readers to-day, says: The land-distribution
policy is discussed in the speech of Mr.. Shaw, of
North Carolina which appears in our paper to-day.
1t will be read with eagerness in his State, where
whiggery is standing its last legs and undertaking
to proong its existence upon the dangerous PROPOSE
ton to distribute the public lands. Mr. Shaw shows
up this unconstitutional and inexpedient proposition
with a cearness and force which cannot fail to exert
an influence the public mind. He takes the rue
democratic position this question, and maintains
it by arguments which can never be successfully

robson. The Democratic candidates for the
Commons in this County are Thomas A. Norment,
Esq, and Col. Nein Regan. They are both true men
in every sense of the word, and would represent
Robson most acceptaby and with credit to them
selves. The vote must be close one in Robson,
and it therefore behooves every Democrat to stand
to the ticket and work for it. The Democrat who
allows himself to be carried off by side issues, will
live to regret it. Lot us stand by our cOI0rs.

ROCKINGHAM. Geo. D. Boyd, Esq, Democrat is
candidate for reelection to the Senate from this
County, without opposition.
Rockingham is entitled to two Commoners but
we learn there are three Democratic candidates in
the field, to wit, Thomas Settle, Jr, Esq, Alfred
Reid, Esq, and Gen. f. l.. Simpson. The contest
appears to be mainly between Mr.. Reid and Gen.
Simpson, it being generally conceded that Mr.. Settle
will be elected by large vote. He is young gen.
tleman of much promise, sincerely devoted to the
cause and is destined to take influential position
among the public men of the State. We of course
take part as between Gen. Simpson and Mr.. Reid
The latter gentleman acquitted himself we'll in the
last Assembly and the former is a sound and or
thodox Democrat.
FRANKLIN. We learn that the disagreement among
the Democrats of this County in relation Senate
rial candidates has been satisfactorily settled Mr..
Collins is still in the field the nominee for the
Senate D. W. c. Stone, Esq, having on reflection,
withdrawn from the canvass. We gratifed at
this as personal friend of Mr.. Stone, we'll
political grounds. His withdrawal is what might
have been expected of him under the circumstances
and will be remembered favorably for him hereaf-
ter.
We commend the example of our Franklin friends
to those of other Counties where disagreements
list.
Mr.. Collins has opposition and the election of
Mr.. Martin, the nominee for the Commons, is certain
provided the Democrats of the County are true to
their principles and their word deliberately given in
