W We publish to-day interesting accounts of
the discussion between Messrs. Bragg and Dockery
in Montgomery, and at Brassfelds, Granville. Some
of the accounts we have published are quite full, and
occupy considerable space but those of the people
who have not an opportunity of hearing the candi-
dates are thereby placed in possession of the lead
ing points discussed and the grounds occupied by
them respectively. Our accounts are reliable, but
we cannot say as much for those that appear in the
WING papers, especially the Raleigh Register and

even make-a feeble defence of Messrs. Rogers and

Kansas BILL 1t was init mated that Mr.. Rogers might
speak for himself, and it rumored that he would
do so in Circular-but the Circular has not yet ap
peared. We have forborne long as our duty
will permit us, and shall have something to say on
the subject in next.
By the way, that ludicrously inconsistent concern,
the Raleigh Register, manages to go with and COM
mend Messrs. Badger and Kerr, who voted for the
bill, and Messrs. Rogers and Puryear, who voted
against it. But that paper is accustomed to such
course. 1t commended Mr.. Badger in 1850 for vo-

taken out of the City and put on board the vessel

GREAT TEaERITY.-Tho Petersburg Intelligencer,
of the 3lst ult, has article concerning the Wing
Party, from which we extract the following: !
+" To any one of the slightest observation it must
be very apparent that what was once known as the
Wing party has ceased to exist. The name now
used signifies nothing and represents nothing in a
national sense of the word. The so-called Wings of
the North have not one feeling in common with the
Wings of the South, and it is idle for sections
tagonistc to attempt to unite in electng candidate
for the Presidency. These facts have much against
our will been forced upon by the action of the
Wings of the North For time there were some
who held out, seemed to hold out against the ia
natical attemps upon the Union made by its enc
mics, the Aboitonists but these at last have been
carried off by the heady current of Freesoilism
and now the South has not one friend among the
influential Wings of the North, except Willard Fill
more, upon whom she could rely for aid and sup
port in maintaining her Constitutional rights
All this is very true-and like politicians in traces
the Southern Wings were humbugged into deser-
ton of this same FILLMORE in favor of the nominee
of GREELY, Seward and others, among whom the
South has not one friend, the Inteigencer truly
says. 81.
But is not our Virginia friend playing a venture
some game to tell the truth in these particulars?
Does he speak by the Book? A certain whig paper
at the seat of Government is the text book to this
day, of portion of the southern Whiggery--and
yet its embraces of southern rights and southern
honor are somewhat icy. We hope the Petersburg
Editors honesty may be appreciated We told the
truth to our wing friends, at the last Presidential
election, and few of them have not forgiven us
to this day-though the verify of remarks has
been established very clcary-from year to year
from day to day.

further trial at the next term of the Circuit Court

this, to keep an eye upon such men. We have enc

and true to themselves in this crisis and in the flu
ture, serious evils may befall them.
