the city on Monday, ,butunaccompaniedb by the loud
talking and violent gesticulations which so char

selves by circulating tickets headed with the name

NaturalIzed Voters.-The commissioners Of
the recent election kept separate lists, at the sew
era polls, of all voters naturazed since the thirty
first of December last, that ifthe election should
turn on those votes there might be an opportunity
oftesting its validity. The corporation attorney,
]. M. Carlisle, esq, recommended this course, a
question having arisen as TO whether foreigner
whose name was not on the corporation books
during the year ending the thirty-frst of Decem-
ber as subject TO the schooltax, and who had been
naturalized since, was entitled TO vote. The COM
missioners placed native young men arriving at
age, and foreigners naturalized, after that date,
whether not the poll list, upon the same foot
ing AS the result of the election could not be
affected by admitting such votes, they were all
counted IN the summing up; and SO no opportu-
nifty will at present be afforded for testing their
legality.

Gov Manly, IN his speech before the Wing Cons

gotten up and manufac tured IN Washington City.
and sent On for North Carolina use called it

contemptuous illusions to Free Suffrage were re-
ccived with applauseb by that Convention and Gov
Manly fought the campaign through, as he had done
the preceding one, in opposition to Free Suffrage.
Mr. Kerr took 1862, substantially the same ground;
and he was proclaimed by the Register a better
Free Suffrage man than Gov Reid only because he
was supposed to favor change in the basis, which,
in the Judgment of such prints as the Register was
at that day. would equalize suffrage and make free
indeed
But3what do we witness now2 The Old North
State Wing print, says that Gen. Dockery in his
remarks in Elizabeth City, spoke of Free Suffrage
ADVOCATED IT STRONGLY AND ABLY y; and we learn
from the Register itself that he has been advocating
it in other portions of the State. What does this
mean? If the measure was wrong in 1848, 1850,
and 1852, how it be right nowP Can those
Whigs-such as Col. Joyner-who denounced the
measure dangerous, and who supported Gov
Manly and Mr. Kerr in opposition to it, now turn
round and support the man, Gen. Dockery, who
" advocates it strongly" and who claims, though
falsely, the credit of having started it9
What can the people of the State think of such
men? Can they give them their confidence? Can
they depend upon them? Is there a single Free
Suffrage Wing who can be deuded and imposed
upon in this way?

THE NoMINAr1oN 1t is with pride and pleasure
that we present the name of THOMAS BRAGG of
Northampton at the head of columns to-day as
the Democratic candidate for Governor during the
ensuing canvass.
We learn that Mr.. BRAGG the unanimous
choice of the Conventions the Western delegates
went for him to man, and he may emphaticaly be
considered the chosen of the united
Democracy of North Carolina
Such result was indeed to be expected, the an
tccedents of Mr.. BEAGG being taken into considera-
ton. He to the bar sustained only by his tai
ents and energy-he had to cope with the best minds
in the country, and was located in a community to
the great majority of whom he was politically OPP
posed. Notwithstanding all this he bravey worked
his way through every difficulty until he found him
self among the first of his profession in the State
at the same time inAexbly adhering to the usages
and principles of his party, and, upon all occasions
standing forward of abest and most intrepid
advocates.
The nomination of such cannot bat be hail
ed with enthusiasm from the Mountains to the Sea-
board. We friends, at distance,
that it has electrified the Democracy of this section
No party had nobler more courageous
leader; with such standard-bearer and such an
opponent, cannot but carry the State by at least
10000 majority. Let every Democrat do his duty
and his whole duty and by the 3rd of August next
the old North State will stand forth the brightest
among the Democratic sistcrhood

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

We have no hesitation in saying, from information
we have received, that Mr.. Bragg will accept the
nomination so cordially rendered him by the late
Convention. He had not received the official notice
of his nomination, as he was on attendance on his
Courts, but may look for his letter of acceptance
by next issue. He at Halifax Court the
present week. The nomination was made short
a time preceding Halifax and Northampton Courts
not to admit of his making arrangements to have
his business in those Courts attended to and be-
sides, he would have been compelled, in any event,
to take few days to arrange his business before
leaving home. Those who had confded their bust
ness to him had right to expect this at his hands.
He will commence the canvass at the earliest mo-
ment practicable; and to those who know his habits
of labor and indomitable energy is unnecessary to
say that he will perform his whole duty.

EXACTLY THE MAN. We have already announced
says the Richmond Enquirer, the enthusiastic nom-
nation of Thomas Bragg as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of North Carolina, by the largest Con-
vention assembled in that State. We cannot
doubt the of the noble candidate of the De-
mocracy; as the hardest thing that can be said a
gainst Mr.. Bragg is the following from the Raleigh
Register, the Wing organ of that State 1t is vir
t1ally high compliment to MIR. Bragg, for it con-
codes that he has been always faithful to the Demo-
cratic party and to its sound and conservative prn-
ciples:
And that leads US to say, that the cdicts of the
Raleigh Junto have been obeyed, and that Thomas
Bragg, Esq, of Northampton, is the nominee Of the
Convention for Governor. Mr. B. possesses respec-
table talents and is a worthy gentleman. He is,
however, 'Fogy,' of the straitest sect-the Rich
mond Enquirer is his political Koran-and he
sders the proper province of legislation consist
in devisng ways and means to perpetuate party pow
and promote party ends"

~ The Editor of the Register speaks sneeringy
of Senator Douglas and his "brother Yankees" who
true to the Constitution and the rights ofthe slave
holding States-which is than be said of the
Editor of the Register, though native of slave
holding State. The impartial pen of history will in
scribe in bright letters the names of such men as
DOUGLAS, while his defamers in the Southern States
if noticed at all, will be handed down false to their
section and first the slaves of party and then of
central government made aggressive and usurping
by Freesoilers and Abolitonists.
The Editor of the Register is welcome to all the
credit he may obtain among intelligent and decent
men by sneerng at ;" the Yankees"
