Tue recovery of the ground lost to freedom, and to
prevent the further aggression of slavery"

of New Hampshire, the Secretary of the Navy, SEN
ator Glass; andthe private secretary to the President
Sidney Webster, esq, embarked yesterday morning
in the United States steamer Engineer on trip for
recreation to Old Point Comfort. The Presidents
duties for some time past have been severe and al
most exhausting, and the health of Mrs. Pierce is
extremely feeble. The party expect to remain at
the Point but three or four days. when they will
turn to the capital-we hope, invigorated by the
breezes from the Atlantic and the short relaxation
from their accustomed business and cares.

more ridiculous than American imitation of Partisan
fashions In the first place. those of us of the quiet

the gay people there and then there is no certainty
that the article just like theirs A slight deviation
from the finished the beautiful may produce some

CASWELL.

The Democratic candidates in this County are, for
the Senate, Maj. John A. Graves-Commons, Sam
uel P. Hill, William Long, Esquires, and Capt. Rich
ard Jones. Maj. Graves is gentleman of talents
and sterling Democrat. Messrs Hill and Long
served last session in the Commons, and acquitted
themselves well Representatives and as Democrats
Capt. Jones has heretofore been member of the
Commons. He is an orthodox Democrat. The ma
jory in Caswcll is so large that there can be ap
prehension of the election of Fedoralist.
We gratifed to perceive that MIR. Hill is can
didate for reelection. He is well qualified, by his
general information and his powers debater, to
advance the interests of his constituents and of the
State in the Assembly.
We observe that the Temperance men" of Cas-
well have also brought out ticket, to wit, B. F.
Stanfeld, Esq, for the Senate, and s. E. Williams
and Elijah Roberts, Esquircs, for the Commons.

e The Wing papers of the State, for the want
Ofany reasonable and just ground of attack on Mr..
Bragg, the Democratic candidate for Governor, are
endeavorng to hold him responsible for the Reports
submitted by him in the Legislature of 1923,
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Now it is well
known that Chairman ofa Committee is bound by
the action of majority of the Committee; that,
whatever his own individual opinions may be, he has
option, but must report to the body just the
Committee may direct him. What would these
Wing papers have said if they had found, in the
journals that Mr. Bragg refused to report the Com
miee directed him? Would they not have char
acterized such conduct actious selfsufcient and
parliamentary? And besides, how do they know
but that as member of the Committee, his voice
given against those measures which he reported,
and which they denounce as odious?
This was Mr.. Bragg's first and only session-he
was ayoung then, yet such were his attainments
and reputation that he placed at the head Of one
Of the most important Committees of the House.
This was high honor, and we have no doubt he
proved himself in every respect worthy of it.
Was it ever heard before that a Chairman of
Committee was responsible for the Reports he made
as the organ of the majority? Truly, Federalism is

Henry Warren, Truman Smith, and others, who had
kindly undertaken for the time being to manage, d.

voting for President and Vice President!
And now let US see who were the associates in this
electioneering movement of Alfred Dockery. Tru-
man Smith and B. F. Wade, Abolitionists of the
worst stamp! On the night of the final passage of
the Nebraska bill this man Wade, Senator from

eclipse of the sun, and think it perfectly meet and
proper that the in the heavens and the glory of
this republic should both go into obscnrty and dark
ness together Let the bill then pass it is proper
occasion for so dark and damning a deed" And he
closed his speech as follows
"But Mr.. President, there is some good mixed
up with this great evil. Of course all future COM

against the passage of this bill, and again give
tice of appeal to the people themselves. Nor will
fail, with what ability have to stimulate them to

In the mean time, copsoed by the that if
offenses must come, there is for those through

And this is the man who of Gen. Dock
ery's confederates in 1851 Has Gen. Dockery
pudiated and cast him off? Has he declared pub
licly that he regrets his association with him? No
such thing; on the contrary, he declared here, when
asked by Mr.. Bragg what he would do under the
cry of repeal of the Nebraska bill raised by such
men as Greedy and Wade, that he would " wait and
see " what they would do!
And this is the Committee, too, be it remember
ed which strove in every conceivable way to carry
this State in 1862 against David S. Reid and for Scott
and Graham and which, as the letter of Gen. Edney
shows, offered to pay his expenses if he would re-
turn home and take the field electioncering
agent to advance their schemes and designs.
