RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1854

against the sixth Resolution, that the Tory Judge
who fined Gen. jackson was right, and that Gen.
Jackson was wrong and that Gen. jackson deserp-
ed to be punished for his conduct at New Orleans.
The people of North Carolina in 1882, gave Gen.
jackson majority of tsoentythree thousand votes for
President; and by this vote they unequivocally and
fully endorsed his character and conduct as public
man. But Gen. Dockery, in 1s43, affected to be
wiser than the people of his State, and voted to pun
ish Gen. Jackson for what the people had not only
approved but had declared, by their votes cast for
him. they considered meritorious
Gen. Dockery's prejudices so strong in favor
of free negroes that he could voe in the Convention
of 1885, to continue to them the right of suffrage
and his prejudces were strong against Gen. Jack
son that he could vote, in 1s43, not only to deny
him credit for the glorious victory of New Orleans
but to censure and punish him for the means he
used to achieve that victory. Mark the contrast be-
tween Gen. Dockerys regard for the free negro and
his sense of justice and of right towards Gen.
jackson.
The heart of that man who could vote to sustain
Judge Hall and condemn Gen. jackson, us in the
scrong place.; and the people of North Carolina
ought to, they will, withhold from him, as he
withheld justice from Old Hickory, their posts of
trust and honor. Jackson men!-honest and true
men of all parties what say youG Can you vote
for this man for Governor?

OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

The threatened interruption of our amicable rela-
tons with the Spanish government on account of
the Black Warrior" difficulty, has been put to rest
by that governments coming forward-admitting
that the Captain General of Cuba was in the wrong
-apologsing for it and granting pecuniary indem-
nifty to the parties injured. This was done with
prompttude highly ,commendable in the Spanish
government and forcibly illustrates that the wrong
complained of was fragrant and great, and as such
demanded in the opinion of every one, Except per-
haps the Wilmington Herald and the Captain Gencr-
al himselD instant reparation. That journal the
Herald of the 21st ult.) contends that the Captain
General did no more than he ought to have done
and that the just complaints of this government were
ridiculous 1t is fortunate for government that
the matter settled before the Queen of Spain
could possibly the Herald's article, or else our
Minister at that Court might still be engaged in en-
barrassing negotiations.
At any rate, the Captain General has the unspeak-
able consolation of knowing that although his con-
duct has been reprobated and condemned by his
own government, and will probably loose him his
place, yet the Wilmington Herald, Whig paper in
North Carolina, says he right, and patriotcally
sustains him in his outrages and insults to our gov
ernment and commerce.

DEMocRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

We publish in our paper of to-day the proceeds
ings of this body, which met in Raleigh the 18th
inst and adjourned on the day following: We have
placed its nominee, THOMAS BRAGG, Esq, for the
Office of Governor, at our mast head, and intend to
keep it there until we shall have the satisfaction
which we confidently anticipate, Of announcing his
triumphant election.
1t was pleasure to be present at the Conven.
ton, and with friend S. E. WILLIAMS, Esq, had
the honor of representing the county of Casweil.
We can truly say that never witnessed more
patriotic feeling more harmony. and a better spirit
than exhibited on that occasion. Although de-
egates went there with their predictions for dlf-
ferent individuals it ascertained that
Mr.. Bragg was the choice of majority of the men,
bers, all yielded heartily and enthusiastically to their
wishes If there be any signs in those demonstra-
tions, why then the of our nominee is GER
tain.
Mr.. Bragg is all that the democratic party could
desire. We have known him long and esteemed
him much Firm, talented, consistent, of sterling
integrity and most patriotic devotion to the prin-
ciples which he has espouscd. His political adver-
saries say harm of him, but politics aside,
speak in his commendaton. With such a candidate
we have reason to be highly gratiied, and citi-
zen and editor we are prepared to battle in his bs-
halt, and by all honorable and proper means to Sc
cure his election.
He has met Gen. Dockery, the wlg nominee, on
several occasions, while on his Superior Court Cir
cult and at the request Of his democratic friends re-
piled to him successfully that the general will
not like to meet him again. But meet him he must,
and meeting him ne may expect to come oil second
best If not by strong arguments and irrefragable
array of facts and reasons entirely demolished.
There is one fact significant of the success of the
democratic party in North Carolina, which vas very
happily alluded to by MIR. Bggs, the Chairman of
the Committee Resolutions, in his speech 1t
was the great array of talented young men, just en-
tering on the of political life, and who made
their maiden speeches in this Convention With
such force to aid the talented Bragg, who will like
his brother, Maj Bragg, at Buena Vista, pour the
hot shot of argument into the ranks of our political
advcrsaries they must give way and sustain a Wa
terloo defeat.
In the coming contest let every democrat do his
duty-be punctual at the polls, and then if we do
not succeed, we shall deserve success.
