Why should not Thomas Bragg be reelected

shown himself capable. He is good man, and
true-a kind neighbor and useful citizen. The

ever he is best known he is most appreciated. Look
at him at home and in the Executive Chair-he
commands the confidence and respect of both par

his own merits, he has raised himself up to the dis
tinguished position he now occupies. Spring'ng

against his administration and every charge brought
against him since that time, has fallen harmless at

The best joke of the season is the attempt of the
Know-Nothing papers to prove that Mr.. Buchanan
is not worthy of support on the ground that he was
Federast in his early days. They have produced
a speech which they say he delivered upsoards of
forty gears ago, to make good the charge. They
admit that since that period he has been an unfn-
ching Democrat. Now, if it is objectionable sin
in Mr.. Buchanan to have been Federalist in his
early days, before he entered political life what is
to be done with Willard Fillmore who is both Fed
eralist and Freesoiler-who was Federalis to begin
with-is Federalist now-and bids fair to die
Federast? Norfolk argus.

~ The X. N. papers of this City have consid
cred their duty recently to deny that certain lead
ing gentlemen, old line Wings, arc for Bragg and
Buchanan. They give names, and among them
those of Ex-Gov. Manly, Willie ?. Mangum and
Giles Mebane. Now what does this mean? These
gentlemen have not been referred to, claimed by
the Democratic prints, as Bragg and Buchanan men.
Does it not show that these K. N. papers them
selves in doubt to the of these gentlemen?
Why, if there doubt about their position,
are their thus lugged before the public? The
Democratic presses are not under the necessity of
declaring, every week two, that certain leading
Democrats are not Fillmore and Gilmer men. We
can tell the Register and Signal-and we now make
no particular reference to Messrs Manly, Mangum,
and Mebane-that we happen to know quite as much
about the views and position of many ofthe old line
Wings as they debut we shall not publish street
rumors and private conversations. 1t IS enough for
to know that many of the old line Wings, in all
parts of the State soih u.s. and that their votes
will be cast for Bragg and Buchanan.
LATEST FOREIGN NEws.-We have the latest news

THE BLACK CoAL1rioN.-It is at length authorize
lively announced that arrangements are being made
between the friends of Fillmore and Fremont in
Pennsylvania to harmonic one Electoral ticket,

he deemed BEST against Mr. Buchanan. The New
York Tribune saysa Convention with this object in
view, will be held at Harrisburg in September
1.-The practical object" says that paper, to form
an Electoral ticket of these different elements which
shall be acceptable to each, and thus concentrate an
aggregate vote that is scattered, through want
of harmony and understanding" This game was
tried last year in Pennsylvania. The Know Moth
ngs the black Republicans and the old line aboli-
ton Wings all united under call to that effect
from their State Committees, against the Democra-
tic candidate for Canal Commissioner-but they
were defeated. Is it surprising that the freesoilers
and aboitoniss at the North should thus coalesce
against the national Democratic party, when they
are invited to do SO by Mr.. Rayne and other South
ern men?
