The Herald of Tuesday talks about the following

The Herald of Tuesday talks about the following
hand bill having been circulated in Brunswick coun-
! ty:
| $4,000 FOR THE CAPE FEAR BARB
| On the 10th inst. Joint Resolution from the Sen
ate appropriating $40 900 for the Improvement of
the Cape Fear Bar, after having been ably advoca-
tel in the House of Representatives, by Hon VIM.
! S. ASHE was
PASSED BY A VOTE OF ITO TO 49,!
This result, while cheering TO The friends of the
State, and of the Cape Fear Section in particular,
will show what truth there is in the charges of nef-
fciency so ndustrousy circulated against Democrat
ic Representatives, by Gen. Dockery and his party
friends
The Herald seems anxious 10 know why it was
stricken off and intimates that il was for the pur-
pose of injuring General Dockery's election.
AS we have before said, and every one who
heard General Dockery's speeches here and at Smith
vile, knows, party capital was first sought to be
made out of the matter of this appropriation by
presumng its failure and laying the blame of such
failure upon Mr. Ashes party principles, which rem
dered him an inefficient Representative, and, in Cen
e,al Dockery's view, unable TO act for the good OF
his constituents Ii is right and proper that the truth
and the fact should be known--that the people may
know the total groundlessness of General Dockerys
statements and appeals. If this truth hurts his cleo
ton, he has only himself to blame. He first made
the issue Happily for the people of Wilmington
and the Cape Fear country generally, that Issue has
gone against him. Farther than to repel his charges
and Attacks in regard to this matter neither noI
any other Democrats care to 60 We ride no hob.

Bnt the Herald somewhat strangely adds
1.-The next time that pronuncamentos of the char.
acter of this hand bill stricken off. hope that
our neighbors will publish them likewise in the Jour.
! nnl so that our people may know all about it. We
want lG know everything, if possible that is going
on and not be forced to send 10 SmihvIlle or other
parts, hunting mp the news"
| The Herald seems 10 have forgot that we have
Job Office and do printing of almost every kind &c
order, which feel sort of obligation to publish
in the Journal for Instance Bills of Ladng Cards
Circulars etc Does The editor of the Herald put all
the jobs printed at that office, into his columns?
The Herald cannot be ignorant that the Wing can
ddate for the Legislature from Brunswick county
Daniel RusseI. Esq, at meetings between himself and
the Democratic candidate, COL CASTOR Meares, has
brought this matter forward in his addresses to the
people, in order 10 make capital against the Democrat
c patty nor that it has been used by his party
friends for the purpose, and hence it right
and proper that the fact should be spread fully before
the people, that justice should be done alike to Mr..
Ashe, and the truth of history
We take pleasure in giving the handful the benefit
of our circulation, although we have before dwelt
upon the fact more fully and emphatically, as our
columns will show. The handbilI was simply print
ed TO order Of the Democrats of Brunswick county
there not being a printing press in the county, it
could not well be printed any nearer home could it?
Has the Herald any mares nests?
