FEDERAL PlILOLOGY.

The Register, and its subordinates here and else
where, have expended a great deal Of ingenious
pathological learning and acumcn in constituting the
resolutions of the Democratic Convention. They
are particularly and notoriously expert at that spc-
ces of CRITICISM and can construe black to mean
scaite with facility and satisfaction to themselves
truly astonishing 1t is still fresh in the memory of
every body, how effectively and consistently they
made the word "acccpt" in conjunction with 'an-
ncXed," in Gen. Scotts letter of acceptance to mean
'approvc-oppose-re ct-stand upon
disaprrove-support," with variety Of other sig
nitications never drcamt of by Walker or Webster,
or any one else until the "leaders" turned their at
tention to the subject.
The meaning of the resolutions of the Democratic
Convention, will we apprchend be understood by
the PEOPLE, class of persons by the by, with whose
language sentiments and interests the federal lead
and presses have it is presumed few feelings in
common. The people can and will understand
them, and we venture to predict that they will in
August next, endorse them by their votes for Tho
mas Bragg, which even federal ingenuity cannot
misconstrue

BOLD IMPUDENCE-

g short time before the meeting of the locofoco
Convention the STANDARD" made a furious on
s!aught upon that instrument of plunder called the
"1omestead Bill" and intimated that the sentiments
expressed by it the sentiments of its party in
this State. Yet, when their Convention met, they
neglected refused to incorporate in their resolu-
tons one condeming that ncfarious measure. Why
was this? Why, we ask, were they silent on that
subject of so much vital Importance to every old
State in the Union?" Register.
The above, which we clip from the Register, is in
keeping with the usual fairness of that paper. No
one who reads the "Whis Organ" now expects to
see any question fairly stated. The least qaibble is
seized upon and discussed with ell the zeal and earn
csncss which characterzcs its articles on important
public questions. 1t is the mere din shadow of the
National Inteligencer, which has become proverbial
for its opposition to every thing like progress
publicanisln.
When the Register asked the question, why inc
Democratic Convention did not condemn the Home
stead Bill, it ought first to have told the people,
why the Wing Convention did not condemn the
same measure? 1t will be time enough for the Edi-
tor of the Register to speak of the action of the
Democratic Convention when he informs us why
the Wing Convention refused to condemn what he
calls an instrument Of piunder"

PEE DEE MONSIEUR TONSON.

The Register says, Mr. Bragg's lame, mpotent
and embarrassed effort to free himself from the
charge of hostility to Internal improvements only
sunk him deeper in the mire, and confirmed the
truth of what has been charged" 1t would seem
that positive proof of fact often confirms its non
existence with the Register. Such would appear to
be the case in this instance.
The Register says further, that eff Mr. Bragg will
make that speech every where he goes, the old
Pee Dee Farmer will distance him in the race" BY
the way, we believe Gen. Dockery has spoken every
where he has been, except at Raleigh. He certain
ly had as good opportunity to speak here as Mr.
Bragg had. The great however is that Dock
cry is the feet horse the Register represents him
why did the Raleigh clique" keep him tied out,
and not suffer him to be brought on the track?

lust AS WE EXPECTED

The Register of the 10th, extracts from the Ash
vile Spectator" article in which occurs the fol-
lowing significant language. Speaking of General
Dockcry, the Spectator says: "And he is in favor
of holding convention of the people to effect what
changes the people may desire in the organic law of
the State" This is for Western circulation, where
it is we'll known, that change in the basis of rep
rcscntation is most popular measure; and the
Wing leaders in that section, running their cam
didate as being in favor of an open, unrestricted
Convention. In the East, Gen. Dockcry is opposed
to any alteration in the present bas but is in favor
of a Convention which is by some means, he does
not tell how, to preserve the basis as it is. This
is not the first time the Headers" have made it
cessary for their candidate to play Oh two different
discorlant strings at the same time The barc-faced
double-dealing of the federal leaders and presses
upon this subject, were exposed in previous cam
paign, and the effort now to play the same game will
meet We predict, the condemnation at the hands
Of the people.

wing of the Nebraska Bill; and stated the further
fact that not single Whig Senator from free State
had voted for the bill and in the House of Repre-
sentatvcs not single Whig from the free States
had voted against its reference to the committee of
the whole. He regarded this bill of great Importance
to the South, inasmuch as he hoped it would settle
this exciting question, and reassert great consttu-
tional principle.
Mr.. Bragg said the country had prospered under
Democratic measures and Democratic administra-
tions; in fact the Democratic party was the only
national party in the Union, in North Carolina
it was the only State party.
He concluded by stating that if elected Governor
of the State he would discharge the duties of that
responsible station to the best of his skill and ability

noticed by Mr.. Bragg in his speech. The report

justice to his forcible argument. Mr.. Bragg is an

ed, and his friends were highly gEatiied at the effort

FEDERAL ORAToRY AND CONSISTENCY. The federal
whig journals arc trying hard to make out their
candidate an orator of the first water Gen. Dock
cry has not opened his mouth yet but what they
have been surprised and delighted beyond measure.
He has all occasions, exceeded their most sam
guine antisipations; and the same men who went
absolutely into extacies in go, the "refned,
gentlemany, accomplished and gallant" Kerr, the
"learned lawyer" and profound statesman" bow
now with elastic subscrvicncy to the "plain, home
spun, and rough" manners of the wagon boy
from Richmond. The facility with which they re-
model their taste to suit different Objects equals if
possible the case and nonchaence with which,
casion requires, they change their principles. And
if General Dockery thinks that he will continue to
be caressed, hero-isel-petted and made much Of
by the "leaders" after the August election, we
indeed sorry for his disappointment.

A HIST RERUKE

The Federal Wing Candidate for Governor, in his
speech at Wilmington, travelled out of his way to
make an attack upon the Hon. William S. Ashc, the
Representative in Congress from that district. We
publish Mr.. Ashes letter to-day, in which ii will be
seen that he handles Gen. Dockery with "glovcs
off" and administers TO him just rebuke The
truth is that the Federal Candidate is too vulnerable
to attack any body. We shall show in this canvass
that he is any thing else but the Farmers candi-
date His high tariff notions make him the very
opposite and this the people will understand. The
General must have "great frmncss of purpose and
strength of intellect" if he can stand many such
fires as Mr.. Ashes.

The Hon. Sion II. Rogers, from this District,
made his debut in the House Of Representatives on
the 2Sth ut, in speech in favor of Bennctts Land
Bill. We find nothing in the speech which for
moment shakes the firm and decided opposition
which the readers of this paper well know it has at
all times manifested towards that measure; but on
the contrary both Mr. Rogers figures and facts salts
fy us that right in that opposition. During
the present campaign shall have occasion to no.

that we are sustained not only by the people Of the

THE WESTERN DETECTION.

The sickly and feeble attempts of the federal pa
pers in this place. and other places East Of this
make little of the meeting of those Wings in Hen
derson County, who were opposed to the action of
the Nhig Convention, and who were independent
enough to say so, have provoked exposure of the
double dealing of the Secretary, who endeavored it
will be recollected to crGwsh, after endorsing the
action of the meeting, whose proceedings he was
chosen to record. They published the Secretary's
"disclamer" with flourish, and would have the
people believe that the rest of the Wings in that
section were standing the same floating platform
that the secretary was This is not the case. In
late number of the Ashevie News. GA progressive
Wing" very cffectualy shows up the secretary of
the Henderson Meeting, and exposes his efforts to
go up and down stream at the same time on one
and the Same plank. The Secretary seems to be
alone in his laudable endeavor to please every one
and we shall be much mistaken if the majority of
the Wings Of Henderson and of many other coun-
ties, who were misreprescnted in the Wing Conven-
ton, do not repudiate his disclaimer" and who
will exercise the right Of thinking for themselves
Whether or not the Federal leaders have left them
still sufficient influence to prevent any orert act of
treason against the Platform unanimously and so
harmoniously adopted here, by few of the chief
priests in February last, time alone will show. One
thing however is certain. There are many voters
in this State who having supported the Wing party
when that party had principles, have abandoned it.
for the reason that they unwilling any longer
to be led by few-the "leaders whose princi-
pies, if they have any, change whenever they think
a change will ensure success The federal presses
may call these men "renegadcs" much they
please; and if they brand every man who once act
ed with th"m, renegade, who will not vote for
Gen. Dockery, the term we apprehcnd, will be ap
piled to very large portion of what once was the
Wing party in North Carolina The Free Suffrage
question has shown the people plainly and conclu-
sively who arc, and who not in favor of poplter
rights. The Whig leaders and presses are opposed
to it, and the Resolution of their Convention which
re.ates to it, is miserable subterfuge, which the
people will condemn although their candidate for
Governor says he is in favor of it. Descrtions from
the Whig ranks on account of this question, have
been by companies the elections in the State for
the last six years abundantly show and so long as
the leaders of that party continue to play the double
game they commenced, and are now playing with
Free Suffrage, those desertions will increase until
the leaders" are left alone, to favor they have
always favored "s2cndid Government" in the
administration of which the people, the masses, have
no voice whatever

more Sun writes thus:
Agreeable to notice, the friends of Nebraska, un.
der the lead of Ge. Richardson of Illinois, march
cd in solid columns to its rescue. Nearly all the
members were in their seats; and though, at first,
the victory seemed doubtful, yet at each successive
charge the opponents of the bill gave way until re-
sistance became nearly nominal
The plan is to reach the bill by postponing the
consideration of every bill which precedes it In
this the deficiency bill and sundry appropri
alton bills and the French spoations set aside,

will be reached and passed. This will, of course,
be triumph of the compromise of 1850; while at
the same time it will pro"e the fact that great

alone, despatched, to-day five hundred clergymen
from the Northwest who had forwarded to him, for

hibited good deal of Biblical learning in his re-
marks and was altogether happy in his retort.

YOUNG MEN.
The most unobservant cannot have failed to notice
that majority of the young men, now taking their
positions citizens, attach themselves to the Demo-
cratic party. To there is nothing strange in this
oninfiuencsd by former associations, they naturally
look at the attitudes of parties their positions and
their principles In the measures of the Whig par.
tnere Is nothing to allure them-norhng either

They see in that party only the relics of once great

PIE. In the Democratic party, the other hand, ),
they see beautiful system of principles calculated
in their operations to develope the resources of our
country to advance the prosperity ofour people, and
to spread the blessings of liberty and free govern
ment far and wide
The young men of our land with their warm and
generous impulses their national bride and love of
country, naturally look for heart and SOUL and neith
er OF these do they find in the Wing party. Cold,
unlmpassioned, rigid and forbdding, it is repulsve
to the glow Of YOUTH to the bounding pulses of the
young and sanguins. They see in it the enemy of
progress, the opponent to everything calculated to
give US strength at home and abroad. They remeu.
Der Its position in regard to the Mexican war; they
sec it in every controversy between our govern
ment and any other power, taking sides against its
own country, and giving said and comfort to the
other party. 1t is natural then and it speaks well
both for their impulses and reflective judgments to
see our young men boldly taking their stands in the
Democratic ranks and battling for free government
and popular rights, scouting the federal notions of
political superiority for any class profession.
We can point to many young men of our acquain.
tance, and We are proud of them, who, in spite of
Wing influences surrounding and operating upon
them from their earliest years to maturity, have in
the exercise of their own judgments, disregarded
those influences and warmly cspoused the cause of
Democracy. Thousands of honest men, too carried
away in the whirl of excitement which the Wing
party generally depends upon for success, are now
returning to the fold ashamed of their folly, and de-
termined to be mised no more. How many Wings
do we hear of, and meet with, renouncmg their er-
