We have received letter from a friend in Chero-
kee, giving the most cheering account of the pros
poets of General Dockery, the Farmers candidate
for Governor Our correspondent assures us that
Gen. D. will get at least twothirds Of the votes poll
ed in that County that his nomination is exceeding
ly popular in the Western Counties generally.
Ashs. Spectator.
The foregoing is specimen, and the first one of
the season, of Federal Whig boasting The Editor
of the Asheville Spectator is the very man to begin
this game, seeing that he practiced it successfully
against Mr. Clingman in 1853. Then he professed
to have received, all at once foods of intelligence
in favor of Mr.. Gather and claimed that he would
lead Mr. Clngman by thousands when behold! the
people voted and the result was just the other way
The Editor of that paper is romantic young gen.
tleman-and besides, having recently located in the
mountain District, he knows little of the views and
feelings of the people there. 1t would be we'll if
he would 'tay awhile at Jericho until his beard be
grown" He was badly shaved last summer with q
Clingman razor. We have no doubt he cherishes q
tender recollection of the event.
Cherokee has usually voted with what was recent
ly known and called the Whig party; but eshould
not be at all surprized if her intelligent and
citizens to cast majority of their votes tor Mr.
Bragg for Governor. They can have but little in
common whether of interest or feeling, with those
Federalists and consolidatonists who would control
public affairs in this State in the event of Gen Doc
kery's election. ~

Extract from a letter to the Editor, dated
ANsoN COUNTY, June, 1854.

ltNSON OOC-SIll Outle, 1Oo1'
"Iwill venture the assertion that Gen. Dockery
cannot carry the full strength of the Whg party in
this County There are several causes which might
be en- lmerated, commencing with the nomination of
Mr.. Worth 1t is plain case that Dockery will not
work at all unless in the lead. This denomineering,
overbearing disposition of his has preudiced many
of his own party against him. Besides, his consoli-
dation doctrines avowed while candidate for Con-
gress will operate more strongly against him than
all other causes combined"

az "Light in a dar6 region" is the heading OF
an article in the Fayetteville Observer in which the
Editors make calculations of gains in Edgecombe for
Gen. Dockery. The Federal papers are copying the
Observers article with evident satisfaction. Now
Edgecombe is one of the most enlightened and pa
triotic Counties in she State but her objectionable
sin in the estimation of these Federasts is that she
adheres to the Republican doctrines of Jefferson and
jackson She will be heard from as Of old on the
Sd day of August.

A SMALL BUSINESS

The Star of Thursday morning contains what pur-
ports to be a letter written by the Editor of the
Standard to Mr.. Bragg, and heads the document as
follows: IA letter from the Editor of the Standard
to Mr.. Bragg, picked up not forty miles from Raj
eigh.".
Politicians and well-informed persons will, of
course, understand that this letter not written
by the Editor of the Standard, but by Federal
blue-light, coonskin Wing; yet there many well
meaning but uninformed Wings, who seeing it in
the Star, will be imposed upon by it. and will be-
eve it. What the object of the Star is we will not un
derake to decde-the Editor of that interesting
tri-weekly twnkier knows best. We now say for
the information of the class of Wings above referred
to, that did not write that letter, and never saw
it until it appeared in the Star.
The Editor of the Star takes several degrees in
reputation by this movement The business is rath-
er small one it is true but then he is used to it.
The presiding genius of that luminary is entire
elephant in politics. He demolishes saplings ard
"picks up" straw with equal facility.

- Let it be remember. and let the people be
reminded of it, whenever the Federal leaders attempt
to deceive them the question of the public lands,
that President Pierce has signed no bill either grant
ing giving away the lands to States individuals
and that he is pledged both by his message and his
veto of the insane bill, to "hold " the lands and
manage them prudent proprietor" would his
own lands
Let it also be remembered that the bills passed
during the administration of Mr.. Fillmore, granting
the lands in alternate sections giving them away,
as the Federal leaders term it, to the States,
received the votes of majority of the Wing party
in Congress and were approved by Whig Presi-
dent
Let it also be remembered that the Illinois Rail-
road grant of lands, SO strongly condemned by Gen.
Dockery was voted for by Messrs Badger and Man
gum of this State. and was sustained by majority
of Wings and opposed by majority ofDemocrats in
the House of Representatives For the vote of Messrs
Mangum and Badger, see Cong. Globe, vol. 81, part
l, page 9o4.
Let it also be remembered that Gen. Dockery ad-
mitted, in speech in Moore County, that it was i'm
probable the lands the proceeds. would be divided
among the States; and that he said in his speech in
Raleigh that this State aoould get her share provided
the lands were held and their proceeds put in the
general treasury This admission on his
part of the soundness of the Democratic doctrine
on the subject
