$ . ) ;
Keep it before the People,
That Alfred Dockery, the Wing candidate for Gov
,nor Is Federalist of the worst stamp; that he
,1 consolidation notions in relation to the States
u tbe General government; and that, so confirmed
-,re these notions, and so strong his preudces with
u, fsp States in the struggle of 1850, that he said
L.uould vote in Congress men, and money, and
hiOs Of war to reduce the State of South Carolina
I'D his own State into subsection to aggressive and
uurping federal rule
Keep it before the People,
rb,t bo deserted Willard Fillmore and went for
cott for the Presidency, who was the Greedy and
Suard candidate, nominated over the political ruins
i Fillmore and Webster and that he said in the
#s,ussion in Raleigh when asked what he would
/, urfer the crv of repeal raised in the free States
Of the Nebraska BILL and whether he would again
niDto National Convention with party in the free
Safes which had given no vote in Congress in favor
n the equality ofNorth Carolina with the non-save-
bllpg States that he would "1cait and see, what
h4 North did! before he answered-leaving thereby
fs inference that he is still in alliance with Freesoil
and Abolition Whiggery.
Keep it before the People,
That he voted in the Legislature of1s42'3, against
Resolution instructing our Senators and Represen-
siyes in Congress to vote to refund to Gen. Jack
81, the fine imposed on him by Judge Hall at New
Olcans-thus taking sides with Tory Judge, and
DENYING simple justice to Andrew Jackson, who
had 50 often perilled fortune and life for his coun
try.
Keep it before the People,
That in the Legislature of 1915, after the Sem
,tOr from Onslow, Mr.. Emmett had been expelled
under false charge, and had been unanimously re-
elected to his seat by the freehoders ofthat County,
Alfred Dockery voted with nine other Federalists to
exclude him from the Senate-thereby showing his
Contempt for the people, and acting in denial and
defiance of their right secured to them by the Con-
stutiOn to say who shall represent them in the
General Assembly.
Keep it before the People,
That he voted in the Convention of 1885 against
amending the Constitution so as to require members
Of the Legislature to vote rica by word of
mouth for Senators in Congress, Treasurer, Comp
tOIe, &c-thereby endorsing the secret ballot sys-
ten, and denying to the people the right to know
how misrepresentation voted in the election of their
officers See Debates of the Convention" page 81.
That he is in favor of Convention to amend the
. Constitution and says he does not care whether it
open one or not, so the basis is preserved that
'COnyenton of the people, called in accordance with
nepovisions ofthe Constitution, cannot be restric-
I'D; that there is no provision in the Constitution
occurring Convention to submit its acts to the peo-
PIE for approval and free and open Convention
could therefore change the basis, do anything else
Knight choose to do leaving the people without re-
NEEDY that he says he is for Free Suffrage, but will
navel no other way than by Convention, thereby
Mymg the inference that he is really opposed to
The measure ITSELF and showing his disregard of the
'SAes of the people on the subject who have here
"re declared by threefths oftheir representatives
aO then again by two-thirds ofthem save one, their
erence for the legislative mode of obtaining Free
outrage over the mode proposed and advocated by
Oen DOckery.
Keep it before the People,
That General Alfred Dockery declared in his
Sa a speech, that he gave Free Suffrage its
nfSt long, big and heavy lick" when he voted in
ut ConVention of 1885 to extend to the people the
sn' to elect their Governor; that he did not vote
extend this right to the people, the records of
eConVention will show, but was absent at the time
a.. vote was taken; that he now says he voted for
N measure on its enrolment, thereby leaving the
Dp'eSSlon that it was enrolled separately, when it
% not but was included with the entire Consttu-
vi That in voting as he did for the enrolment Of
enure Constitution he no more voted for this
assure than he did for the two-thirds principle for
~1 "S Convention, which, as the record shows, he
favored to have changed that this furnishes,
wore no proof that he even in favor of CIV
vie election of Governor to the people, that this
NNure had no connection whatever with Free Suf-
Ao sr as advocated by David S. Reid, and Alfred
Aery knew it when he made his SmithfieId
S, that he claimed at one time as above stated,
fl, o. Nc was one of the oldest Free Suffrage men in
bah' but in his Raleigh speech he denied that
S, y. ever claimed the authorship of the measure;
a against Free Suffrage at heart, as we believe
H., Ills conduct is calculated to mislead and deceive
fla rsOpie that if for it, he is directly opposed to
g,, SlOuhd occupied on the question by both Gov.
n.y. and MIR. Kerr, and misrepresents his party ON
f,tn e greater portion oft has uniformly opposed
sn. 1' oaiot-dox and in tho Assembly, and as the
Ss party refused, in the last Assembly, to save
by raSure from defeat when it might have done so
% 1"Ans just one more vote out of the large num-
vast against it.
