section" Of the said bill of March 9Th 1890
and we say deliberately, in behalf Of an i'm
mense majority of the people of the State OF
Ohio, and as we believe of the whole North,
that they will, under no circumstances what.
ever, suffer slavery to obtain foothold in the
proposed territories Of Kansas and Nebraska.
The heart OF this continent is the choicest
heritage of the free laborers of the United
States. These shareholders are not equal in
numbers to the vSters OF the State of Ohio
We say to these misguided men, be not de-
ceived; you are sowing the wind, and you
will reap the whrlwind.
b. Resolved, That we approve fully of the
conduct of our Senators in Congress, in op-
posing the passage Of the bill referred to
through the Senate of the Units4 States, and
we look Tor unanimous vote against it on
the part Of our Representatives.
8. Resoioed, That the Government of the
United States is free Government, not
slaveholding Government--thatt the Constitu-
tion OF the United States was passed for the
purpose OF securing the blessings of liberty,
not to extend the curse of slavery--that un-
der it, liberty Is the rule, slavery the excep-
tion---,hat liberty is national, slavery is sec
tional--and that we recommend TO the peo-
pie OF Ohio, of all parties, to be faithful to
the principles of this resolution, at all times,
under all circumstances, at all hazards.
Z. RESOLVED, That copies of these resolu-
tons be sent to the President of the United
States and to our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress; and also to tho newspa.

on this subject, having received letter from him. III
which be expressed his warm concurrence IN the
resolutions of the Convention and especially in this
regard.
General remarked, he knew he (Person) got lei
ter from Bragg-got that speech from Bragg--knew
it came from Bragg-got it in the letter-%new when
he was speaking that Bragg sent him that speech
Bragg, like his deputy. can make quite smooth talk
used to it, etc.
MIR. Person replied that he had read from Mr..
Braggs letter the only part he had used in The dis
cussion. The rest had nothing TO do with it.
General Dockery-" Well. don't know you got
mighty long letter there
1t was The glazing improprieties and ndecorums OF
this last scene which called forth the remarks with
which we preface gu: review. In all experience
of Official discussions We have seen and heard moth
ing precisely like the manner and matter of Mr.,
Dockery's reioinder. His attempts to bettle the
abilities of his opponents rather than TO meet his
guments-his attempt TO convey the impression-nay
his direct charge that he simply repeating a
speech sent in letter by Bragg General Dockery
never once alluded to his opponent as Mr. Bragg in
a tone OF courtesy-it was always Bragg with very
peculiar intonation All these things called for repre-
hension.
Nothing could give greater pleasure than to be
able to praise opposing candidates, such, while or
posing the party principles upon which they stand
TO denounce the conduct of any one is always a
painful duty, but we feel it to be a duty. We ask
onr wing readers who present TO think
calmly over the closing scenes of the discussion Of
MONDAY last, and they cannot approve the course
of General Dockery upon that occasion. To those
who were not there we would say that have
not given the matter half as strongly as it &C.
CURED. Let them judge. Towards the first ad-
dress the argument in chief of General DockeIy, W
have objection to urge lis style is simply mat
ter of taste, about which have little to say had
he pursued the same through would
have had nothing. We hope that it may not again
become necessary for to aude 10 General Dockery
in terms of severity, AS the representative OF a
large and respectable party-as gentleman OF
standing and irreproachabe character in private life,
We are DESTROYS of abiding to him iii terms not SIM
ply of respect but of courtesy but, public Jour
nalists, feel bound to expose to merted reprehen
sion the enactment of such scenes General Dock
cry presented : thoughtlessy. trust--at this
place.
1t is but simple justice Col. Person TO say that
he acquitted himself in manner which could not
fail TO add TO his reputation and to fulfil all the wish
eS of his friends

verdict has recently been rendered in the case of
Matt. F. Ward, of Louisville Ky, for the murder of
Professor Butler which will srike-which has
struck the whole country with establishment and dis
gust The testimony was, that a brother of Wards
attended a school of which Butler was Principal
that the younger Ward committed some violation of
the rules of the School and endeavored to cover by
lyng-that Butler punished him, especially for lying
that that evening, or next morning, Matt F. and
young Ward went to gunsmith's shop and bought
pistols and bowie knives - that next day they went
so armed to the teeth to Buffers school that there
they called him out to answer for this punishment in
ficted for an offence against the rules of the school
and for lying-for punishment which was not pre-
tended to be unusual or urdeserved = that Matt F
Ward cut Butler short in an explanation of the mat
Ter by calling him id liar. Upon Butler, in the
natural impulse Of the moment raising his hand to
resent this insult Ward with the pistol deliberately
purchased and prepared shot him down like dog
The plea set up was selftefence. It was actually
commended that two persons went armed to the teeth
with arms provided for the purpose-called out an
unarmed man for the purpose of insulting him and
shooting him down, in sef-delence Butler was
proved to be quiet, inofensive, amable man, re.
spected for his learning, talent and character
Will it be believed A jury at Elizabethtown
Kentucky, actually acquitted Ward after a consulta
ton of five minutes, the ground of self-defence
This within the week. A more outrageous murder

Without caring 10 dwell upon it, VIC would simply
mention the fact that in noticing the discussion here
we gave both sides of the question. We gave the points
of General Dockcry's argument well of that
of Mr.. Person. No paper of the opposite party gave
aword Of MIR. Persons argument. Not one And yet
they complain of the treatment General Dockery re-
ceived at our hands. Wherein have misrepresent-
ed his arguments or his positions Wherein have
they condescended to give one of the arguments or
positions advanced in opposition Upon which side
does the charge of unfarness rest. We have given
both sides they have given but one. Who has the
best right to complain But let it pass. The PEG.
pie have yet three months before the election to see
these things and they rrU see them, 1t is to tn,

Rich. but unfortunately, not Rare.

We find that very many of the Wing papers of this
State, who are loudest in swelling the blatant cry
about "rIicung General Dockery, and all that sort
of stuff habitually speak of the present occupant of
the Gubernatoria Chair of the State-a position for
which he has twice received the surages of major
y of the citizens of North Carolna-as Davy Reid -
Little Dave" and other similar modes Of expression,
calculated to exhibit at one view their own pungent
wit and the marked respect which they entertain for
the popular will and verdict and this, too very
frequently seen in the very issues of their pa
pers in which they whine so plteously about ''rid-
culing General Dockery T. In the of all that
is fair and respectful among men, what charter have
these people for their nsolen treatment of the Chief
Executive officer of the State-the choice of nearly
ninety thousand of his Gelow-cizens, and of deci-
ded majority of a-simply because he is Democrat,
while they raise such outcry against the exposure
of Demagogueism in candidate, who, such, is a
proper subject for criticism. and fair mark for rld-
cuIe, too if such demagogueism seems to warrant it.
Is General Dockery immaculate simply because he is
