The whIR Nomination.

DocKERY, of Richmond county, by the Wing State
Convention, the candidate of that party for Gov
ernor. Of course his name is run up to the mast
head. Il
What vote was given to our townsman, Mr.. Da-
Wis. we have not learned but believe we assured
the party friends of that gentleman here that he
stood no sort of chance. We knew some of the in
fiuences from the centre-we knew little of how
the wires were worked, and felt certain that some
person of 81 great practical vigor" in the Morehead
interest would be the man. AS between Mr.. Davis
and the nominee, there is sort of comparison. In
all the qualifications necessary for the station, and
gong to make up the character of gentleman, MIR.
Davis is so far ahead that parallel be drawn.
But the thing as it is, and perhaps it is for the best
Certainly We will take much greater pleasure in
beating the General, and do it quite easy with
odt the trouble of pitching into neighbors. We
should really, apart from all considerations of party
regret the election of General DoCKERY, and so we
should think, would most citizens of this section.
But it is time enough 10 go into these matters when
the canvass has fully commenced by the nomination
OF Democratic candidate. We presume that Mr.
Dockery will postpone his canvass of the State until
he can do so in company with his competitor, who
ever that may be.
Fayetteville Observer its skin, so far as to treat
Democratic opponent with courtesy, forbear sneer
or attack matter how ungenerous uncalled for.
When that paper made the reference to contained
in its article headed The Cape Fear Bar" publish
ed in its issue of Monday last, it must have been,
at least it should have been fully of the impro
priety of its course 1t must have known when it
alluded to reference made to Mr.. Badger about
hat nd sin have
forborne any further allusion that matter,
any reply to the attack made upon in the Senate
by Mr. Badger, although that was bitter enough to
have provoked much easier tempered people than
. can claim to be. We have let all this pass-waived
all private notions and feelings, have not even
defended ourselves from attacks made. We have
done this because we did not wish to mix up anything
,, personal to ourselves with matter of such
tous interest 10 the town and State While our hands
are thus tied, the Observer, contented with the
# attack (unreplied TOY already made by Mr. Badger,
r valorously charges down it's hook. If this
system is to be persevered in, perhaps may be found
that if have not already lepelled some of these
! little attacks and do now, forbearance
has arisen from other than the want of power
= to do so.
If From all accounts the ball is about to open in
the Emperor of Russia recede even this late hour
for take it for granted that government could
sustain itself in England France that did not de-

" on the part of Russa-he prompt evacuation of the
Prncpalities and stringent provisions TO

of of the world against disturbance If the war goes
7e on will be equally disastrous both of the origi-
al No mil ain
m itself against combination of powers, both naval
TT and military The history of the world shows that
it, much. Napoeon's failure against Russia was main
IN y owing to the want of marine. The western

" feebled by the very exertons she will be called upon
C. TO MAKE and at the close of the affair will be totally
lis dependent upon the christian powers, whose real OBJ
be ject is to restrain Russia, by maintaining barrier
at against her. If Turkey at present constituted
lis does not afford that barrier, other method will
zig be adopted for erecting without much respect IL
the powers that now be in the territories at present
under the Ottoman sway
In view of the crisis which has at length arrived

and the events of which cannot be foreold we lool
