The General, it. appears has not yet answered on
the Nebraska bill. He refuses to out in favor
of measure the object of which is to throw open
the common territories to the people of the South
as well as of the North. He refuses to sustain Mr.
Badger and Mr.. Kerr in their course the subject
This, however, is in character tits just what might
have been expected from "submissonist" on the
slavery question-from consolidationist, who, III
$780, ready to give up slavery and the rights of
the States under the aggressons and demands of the
Freesoilcrs and Abotonists, rather than make
stand with the people of the South for justice and
for continued union according to the Constitution.
1t was scarcely to be hoped that who denied the
sovereignty of the States, Gen. Dockery did in
his contest for Congress with Maj Caldwell, would
be willing to recognize the doctrine contained in the
Nebraska bill. Let the people read Mr.. Clingman's
speech, and then recollect that Gen. Dockery is hos
tile not only to that gentleman but to his views on
this question let them recollect as they read, that
Gen. Dockery is opposed, and bitterly opposed, to
every Southern rights sentiment advanced in that
speech.
EXACTLY TIE MAN We have already announced,
says the Richmond Enquirer, the enthusiastic nomi
for Governor of North Carolina by the largest Con-
vention ever assembled in that State. We cannot
doubt the success of the noble candidate of the De-
mocracy as the hardest thing that can be said a.
gainst Mr.. Bragg is the following from the Raleigh
Register, the Whig organ of that State. 1t is vir-
tualy high compliment to Mr.. Bragg, for it con-
cedes that h. has been always faithful to the Demo-
cratic party and to its sound and conservative prn-
cipes:
And that leads us to say, that the edicts of the
Raleigh Junto have been obeyed, and that Thomas
| Bragg, ESQ.,, of Northampton, IS the nominee Of the
Convention for Governor. Mr.. B. possesses respec-
table talents and is worthy gentleman. He is,
however, Fogy,' of the stratest sect-thc Rich
mond Enquirer is his political Koran-and he con-
siders the proper province of legislation to consist
in devisng ways and means to perpetuate party pow
er and promote party ends"
- Gen. Dockcry either knows or does not know
what the Nebraska bill provides and what it is in.
tended to accomplish. if he does not know, he is
| not fit to be Governor; if he does know, and then
refuses to tell or to express his opinion relation
i it, what will the people think of him Will they
not conclude that he is inclined to slip into office by
dodging questions? And is not a dodgcr dema
gogue? And is not a demagogue a deceiver of ths
people? We say to the people, watch your public
men, and especially Gen. Alfred Dockery. "a
