Mr.. HOLDEN dear Sir: was at the meeting
of the candidates for Govertor at Thomasville. Mr..
Bragg led off in bold, yet courteous and mastery
style, showing incontrovertaby that the Wings had
abandoned all their issues that of the public
lands. Also, that the State government had been
nearly four years in Democratic hands and deficd
any one to find fault He cleared the President and
the Democratic party from freesoil affilation and
fixed the Wings with twas in favor of ludicouS
system of internal improvements, and also fostering
our Common School system. He then took up the
subject of the public lands and discussed it with
great clearness and force Mr.. Bragg then closed by
ayowng himself in favor of Free Sutfrage-the pres
ent basis and the Legislative mode of amending the
Constitution showed how the wings had changed
ground on the subject of Free Suffrage.
Gen. Dockery rose and aVowed himself in favor
of Free Suffrage and said he had always had BEEN
This, think, not well received by number
of Wings who were present that utterly opposed
to Free Suffrage, holding still the position that Gov
Manly took] Gen. Dockery then passed through
his speech, avoiding many Of the points Mr.. Bragg
had urged him to come out on-one among which
was to Gen. SCOTS letter of acceptance wherein he
proposed to do more for actual settlers public
lands than had been done The General read that
clause of SCOTS letter three times and asked some
gentlemen to read it, but no one volunteered, mean
while refusing to give any opinion only that Scott
meant just what he said. If ever beheld chagrin,
not to say contempt it was exhibited upon the cuin-
tenance of Wings about this time. Gen. Dockery
endeavored to make party capital of Common Schools
was warmly in favor of Educaton@admitted that
he was deficient in education and thereby not we'll
qualified for the Office which he seeks-sad he new
er had received any benefit from Colleges, but had
done something to benefit them. Now, deem it un-
necessary to say upon the topics discussed as
you have the points in the detail in your report
from the meeting in Raleigh. One thing that is I'M
usual is to hear Democratic candidate compliment
ted by Wings as Mr.. Bragg has been by every Wing
have heard speak of the discussion. Mr.. Bragg
will get Wing votes in this locality mark what say
In overhearing conversation between some Wings
one said, Bragg is smart man." Eyes" said
another, he got the start of Dockery and will be
punished if he did not keep it through the discus
sion." The Democrats in solid phalanx for

A GRAVE AND SERIOUS CHARGE.

A week or two since we referred to the fact that
Mr. Emmett expelled from the Senate of this State
in 1844-5, on the charge of having forged a
certificate of his election as member of that body;
and that Gen. Dockcry, with nine other members,
voted against permitting him to take his seat after he
had been unanimously reelected by the reeholders
Of Onslow County. The Rowan Wing and Western
Advocate, paper published in Salisbury, by G. A.
Miller and S. w. James, replies to this, and says:
ave now charge that forgery was committed
beyond all doubt and that the Editor of the Stand
ard was a party and privy to that forgery, and
that it was plotted and executed under his roof
Sunday night, in the City of Raleigh.
This is very grave and serious charge. If true,
it is due to public justice that the fact should be
known, and that the party charged should incur the
inhmy which the commission of such a crime brings
along with it; if false, then those who have prefer
red the charge should stand convicted before the
world as malicious slanderers and calumniators. We
shall not stoop to deny such charge; nor do we
wish to soil our columns with The of such Ian
guage as would be necessary to characterize such
men. We have caused legal proceedings to be insti
ued, so that the charge may be duly examined and
decided upon by Court and jury.
