GEN BeCKERY AGAINST GEN. JACKSON.
s We cali the attention of the old Jackson men and
of the people generally to the fact that Gen. Alfred
Dockery, while member of the Senate of this State
in 1898, roted against the following Resolution
"Resoloed That the fine imposed upon Gen. An
drew jackson, during the war by Judge Hall should,
In the opinion of the Legislature be immediately re-
funded with full legal interest," without any proyiso
or qualification whatever, act of justice to .
brave, meritous and distinguished officer" ees4
The foregoing Resolution Gen. Dockery with ten
other Federafsts of that assembly, roted G0aanst-
thus taking sides with Tory Judge, and denying
simple justice to the Hero of New Orleans. For
proof OF this refer to Senate Journal pages 352
353, eff the session of 1S42-43
AshociHe Ne,cs.
This line, it will be remembered, was imposed on
Gen. jackson for act of his while defending New
Orleans. Louisiana had been purchased but short
time before, and the most of the citizens of New Or
leans were of Spanish and French descent, with no
attachment to their new government, most of them
having been educated and brought up in the mon
archcal countries of Europe, and would have pre-
tered that the British should have taken the city.
NV hen this is taken into account" says the hstori
an sit will easily be imagined that Gen. Jackson in
preparing to defend it, the city, had other difficult
ties to contend against, than mere of troops,
mere lighting to do he had to contend against trea.
son in every quarter and corner and treason the
part OF those whose very hearths homes and lives he
had come to defend from a ruthless and mercenary
soldiery." Hence he proclaimed martial law, and
having ordered a traitor to prison, Judge Hall,
other traitor, released him. and Gen. jackson then
imprisoned the Judge. For this he fined 81 900,
and Gen. Dockery, by his vote, says the fine was
right, and that jackson properly suffered the pen
ally. Congress, however, thought differently, and
refunded the amount with interest.

sW We observe that Gen. Dockery has made a
change in his appointments, and will go to Weldon
Monday next instead of Roxborough. The two
candidates spoke yesterday at Brassfelds, to-day at
Oxford; and Mr.. Bragg will go forward to Roxbo-
rough, Yanceyvillc, and Wentworth and will
meet Gen. d. again at Greensborough on
the 9Th. Gen. D. will not speak in either Rocking
ham or Caswell. We learn that he has acted very
unfairly and berally in relation to making appoint
ments, refusing to unite with Mr.. Bragg in the mat
ter, and seeking, in little way, thus to get ad
vantage. The custom heretofore has been for the
candidates to confer together and make appoint
ments such as are satisfactory to both but this
custom, which is common in other States as it has
been in this, Gen. Dockery dsregards, under the
plea that he will attend to his interests" and Mr.
Bragg must " attend" to his i! We give this as one
of the specimens. The truth is Gen. D. is anxious
to get rid of Mr. Bragg and hence his settled aver
siop to any thing like fair arrangement of this
sort; but Mr. Bragg will be very apt to be with him,
wherever he may be, up to the first Thursday in
August next

account of the passage of the Nebraska bill. Who
voted for that bill? No Northern Wing. Who vo-
ted against it R. G. Puryear and S. H. Rogers,
together with forty-eight Wings from the Northern
States These bells tolled because, as it was said
slavery had trumphed, and because the South is
hated by the blackhearted Wings and Abolitionists
of Hartford; but they tolled not for Puryear, or
Rogers or Millson Benton for they voted against
the BILL The slavery question is settled is it? Never

LET REMEMBERED, That during the 1st Scs-
sion of 32nd Congress, when Mr. Venable proposed
an amendment to the bill for the relief of the Mem
phis and Charleston, Mississippi, Tennessee River
and Coosa, New Orleans. and Opelousas and Great
Western Railroad companies, giving the Raleigh and
Castor Railroad company time on the payment Of
duties on iron for relaying the road, Gen. Dockery
voted to lay on the table,
We have other excuse for this vote than
the supposition on the part of some of Gen. Docke
rvs friends that he had previously been doing all
he could for Railroads without effect and therefore
he voted to lay this relief bill the table! and the
further supposition tha the revision of the
if at that time considered, he probably desired
should it undergo revision, that it should be amend
ed after due consideration of all its specifications,
and not of isolated portions" Now, when we reflect
that Gen. Dockery is for high protective tariff,
what weight can we give to this supposed for
his voting against Cor which is the thing, vot-
the payment of duties on Railroad iron?

~ Some of the federal newspapers-the Salem
Press among them-are raising a demagoguical cry
against the lawyers and Directing to the election of
Mr.. Bragg the ground that he is lawyer and
Gen. Dockery farmer. The zeal of these prints
for farmer Governors is of recent date for from the
time Gov. Morehead was elected to the present can
they have been sustaining lawyers for this Of
fec. If it be wrong to elect member of the legal
profession Governor of the State, which deny,
but which these prints would now have the people
believe, then they the last who ought to COM
plain. Governors Morehead, Graham and Manly are
all lawyers; and Mr.. Kerr, whom it sought by
these same prints to elect over Gov. Reid is also
lawyer
What hypocrites!
But this is the legitimate result of Gen. Dockery's
assal the legal profession in the hope Of creating
sympathy for himself
The federalsts are the last of all men to be con-
sdered sincere when protesting friendship for the
farmer. All their measures have been devoted to
the building up of aristocracics and exclusive prvi
leges at the expense of the farming interests and
they now denying equality at the polls to thou
sande of farmers by opposing Free Suffrage. Yet
they "stoop, " they called it in 1910, "to con-
quer." Then they built log cabins and affected a
relish for coon-skIns and hard cder and now, with
the same view-that of obtaining votes-they pre-
tend all at once to be the farmers friend They are
not to be trusted.

The canvass for the Gubernatorial chair of North
Carolina is proceeding with much ardour on both
sides. The temperate candidate-Thomas Bragg
is man not merely acceptable to his party but
whose nomination has been received with the great
est enthusiasm throughout the State. He has not
achieved the notoriety of the party hack, but the
reputation of the unassuming and disinterested
statesman, who whilst he never thrusts himself
hidden into the political ARENA always responds to
the call of his friends, and the wants of the times
His nomination was made with unparalleled unan-
unity by convention OF North Carolina democrats
and in all the ranks of the party from the least to
the greatest there is not dissenting voice. In
late conversation with distinguished member of the
party in that State, in answer to question to
how he liked the candidate, he said that if it had
been left to him to make the selection amongst all
the sons of the Old North State he would have cho
sen Thomas Bragg. This feeling seems to be per-
vadng every section, and if the enthusiasm of the
press be any indication of the result then he will be
the next Governor of North Carolina and the ques-
ton will be settled whether that State long in the
van guard of whiggery, is not really Fright side up
with care. :" Dan. Rep.
