THAT Contrast. = Undef This caption.
.he Concord Gazette has en- excellent ariicse IN
reply 10 Ihe Rslcish Standards aiieIHPi 10 asssi
Gen. DockeD by insiiluiing comparison be-
tween she sirws siiribuleJ 10 The General in 1851,
and those expressed BY ihe Hon. John ken. in
bis Isic speech on the Nebraska bill. The hrsi
point noticed ~ the Gazette, Is The charge that
Gen. Dockeiy said. in 1851, that he would = vote
men, &C.. 10 whip South Carolina back into The
Union, II she seceded." This charge Is saiisfac-
iorily disposed Of. by showing that the General
,aid mo saeL hiIg-ihat il was denied al the
time. and shown TO be misrepresentation Of has
views. But the STANDARD. under that system u
tactics which holds that lie well stuck 10 = as
good A. the truth" still persereres in making The
misrepresentation. And he il remembered, that
notwithstanding the Standards reiterated ssser-
lion Of thai fal-e representation, and other SIAN
ders which il assisted 10 rapssaiing. and no''
wiihstanding lis adsocaey Of the doctrine Of &c.
eession, by which ID was attempted 10 eany the
district. the pcople sustained Gen. Doskery tn
! umphanily in thai contest.
The Gazette next disposes Of the misrepresen
taijons Of The Generals views ON another point
BY placing ~ eriinguisher upon them, which W
quote as follqws:
We will next notice the misrepresen'
tation of the Generals views on State
Sovereignty; but letus first call atten
J ton TO discrepancy between Ties,
g famous correspondents Of the :" Stan
: dard," which Of itself is sufficient t.
is in,alidate the whole. The FIRST quo
,s tation is from his correspondent il
Charlotte, viz:
~ .He (Cen. D. said the jSaffs rrrs Osse
u sovereign, but ceased 30 be such when The COME
M Jeracy was formed"
=, Another correspondent, giyiDgan ac
m count Of the Generals speech IN Rlcll
) mond, writes thus:
:. ale tGen, D-l denitd that the Siasfs wtr
sovereign" He stated That they nerr ,cer
sovereign, not even updcr he articles Of eontcd'
- iaiion."
u Now which does the Standard de
Of clare upon5 lie proves too much for hi
~ case in our opinion. Wehayen no hes
u, tation in declaring that the report q
nd neither is correct. We heard Genera
ig Dockery several times during that cor
: test, and we know he said nothing {
r. the kind.
- But the dotrisp Of sovereignty VA
= discussed Capt. Caldwell conteBde
= that the States were sovereign. Tn
: General Government not; while Gel
W. Dockery urged that the States were y,
We absolutely sovereign, since, on comm
ou into the Union, they had yiehleda pat
of their sovereign powers to the Generi
Government" That is what he SAFE
s. and every one else, except rab;d s.
cessionist, saws the same and 50 say
t.. Mr.. Kerr The General enforced h
ul. position BY arguments. which Meth,
81. the Standard, nor any of his, schoe
m. can ever successfully answer.
We remember the General quote
r.. several paragraphs from Gen. Jackso
:, to sustain himself, among which vi
= = the following: "fhe States general
. have not retained their entire SOY,
~ rcignty--in becoming parts affirmation
"n not members Of aleaguc, they surTel
aH ,lerc,l many Of the essential parts
adj sovereignty" Wegucss Gen. Jackso
ely is good authority.
bal AMI NOW, pray, what has the StaI
ra, ,laal made BY this resurrection of d,
eo. iunct libcllers. reminds one of oil
thr Cloven- foot shcaring the hag--it 3
on. great CRY bat precious little wool.
,ch These truthful correspondents Of Il
!, Standard did Gen. Dockery no dama;
= in lSjl-their galvanized remainswi
: not Brighten any one now. The
:" should have been left, where Gencr
Dockerv consigned them 50 eifectua
