THE NORTH CAROLINIAN, F AY ETTEVILLE, NVC; I-TOHTM-CilllOLINI-flLia'. FAYETTEVILLE, N, C. Sat nr.! ay, .July 29, 1S54. FOR GOVERNOR, THOMAS BRAGG, ESQ. NORTIIAMI'TON COUNTY. of r We announce C. II. Cofield and J. G. Shepherd, Esq 'rs, two of the nominees of the late Democratic County Convention, as candi dates for the House of Commons of the next Legislature. IiR AGO TICKETS ! ! We have already sent out a good many Rrnjru: tickets to our friends in the country. We have a plenty more of the same sort still on hand. We make no charge for them. t&T Since the Editor's return from the Ke nansville Convention he has been confined to his house through indisposition. LIfftion of Governor. On next Thursday the freemen of North Caro lina will le called ou to say .who shall be Gov ernor for the next two years whether Thomas liragg, the ardent friend and advocate of Free Suffrage, shall be elevated to that high position, or whether Alfred Dockery, a man who has never done anything to place all free white men upon an equal footing, but has invariably given his support and influence to those who opposed that just measure from the time it was first agitated, shall occupy the gubernatorial chair of this State. True, Gen. Dockery pre tends to be the friend of free suffrage at present; but when was he ever known to raise his voice for it prior to receiving the nomination of the whig convention? Never. And be assured that he would not now give it his approval were it not for the fact that the people have spoken out for it, on two occasions, in tones that he dare not disregard. Let it be remembered that the method which he advocates for the obtainment of free suffrage will never be sanctioned by our State Legislature no Convention will be called to amend the Constitution, and Gen. Dockery and his party know it. Then we say vote for the democratic candidate, Thomas Bragg, if you ever want the privilege of voting for mem bers of the Senate. ItememWr that in the Convention of 1835 (Jen. Dockery voted for allowing free negroes the right to vote, and in 1848 voted for Charles Manly for Governor who took decided ground against extending equal suffrage to all free white men. Let it be remembered that Gen. Dockery was nominated solely on account of his dema gogical manner of electioneering, and not in consequence of any merit or ability he might possess. Let the people rebuke his unfair and impolite manner of conducting political discus sions, and show that they are better judges of Cheering Hews. We have conversed with gentlemen from Johnston, Wake, Chatham, Randolph, Guil ford, Moore, Robeson and Richmond counties, and they all assure ua that Mr Iiragg's pros pects are fine. It is thought that he will get a large vote in all those counties. We have heard of several whigswho intend voting forMr Bragg, while others, who do not wish to vote against their party, will stay away from the polls. A long and a strong pull will give Bragg five or teu thousand majority. All together next Thurs day. Braog in' the West. A correspondent of the Asheville News, writing from Jackson county, says: " All is right here in Jackson Bragg will get nearly all the votes." The Charlotte Democrat, whose editor re cently paid a visit to Concord, says: "The de mocracy of Cabarrus are fully aroused, and we were repeatedly assured by the knowing ones that Mr Bragg's vote would considerably ex ceed that given to Gov. lteid two years ago." And further, the editor says " old federal Stan ly, too, is going to show her hand. We were informed by an intelligent Dockery whig that Mr Bragg would get at least one hundred votes more than twice as many as Gen. Pierce re ceived." In the East, all is right. A writer in the Standard says that in Nash connty Bragg wHl get one thousand votes, while Dockery cannot get more than 8T that he will not get the entire vote of the whig party. In this county and those adjoining, the demo crats arc wide awake and full of life. We think the vote on Thursday next will show a large increase over Reid's vote. Distribution. If there is any democrat who fancies that the distribution of the public lands is a good thing, and calculated to benefit the individual States, and that to obtain it he must support the whig candidate for Governor, let him remember that if it were possible for Gen. Dockery to be elect ed, he could do little or nothing towards bring ing about distribution he would have no con trol over the matter and his opinions could neither hasten the adoption of the measure nor retard it, for members of Congress will act with out reference to any views he may entertain. Also remember that Gen. Dockery has already admitted that it was not probable distribution could be obtained Mr Badger agrees with him on this point and we agree with them both. Now we ask, if this is Gen. Dockery s opinion on the subject, why does he advocate the mea sure so vehemently? The answer is plain he hopes to catch votes. By making the people believe that thev are to derive an immense Tbe Cape Fear Bill approved. The President has signed the bill appropriat ing $140,000 for the improvement of the Cape Fear Bar. It was rumored by some Washing ton letter-writers that he would veto it, but the sequel shows that these news-mongers know very little of the opinions and intentions of the President. This measure differs from the ordi nary propositions to make appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors, and the fact of the President's having signed this bill is by no means to be considered as a recognition of the power of Congress to make apppropria tions for the improvement of rivers and har bors generally. He believed that the erection of government works at the mouth of the river had caused the bar to lill up, and that it was the duty of the government to remove those obstructions. Hence, the approjmation met his approval. The following is the message of the President sent into the Senate on Saturday morning: To the Senate of the U. Stales: I have this day given my signature to the act "making further appropriation for the improve ment of the Cape Fear river, North Carolina." Tbe occasion seems to render it proper forme to deviate from the ordinary course of announc ing the approval of bills by an oral statement only, and, for the purpose of preventing any misapprehension which might otherwise arise from the phraseology of this act, to communicate, in writing, that my approval is given to it on the ground that the obstructions, which the proposed appropriation is intended to remove, are the result of acts of the general government. FRANKLIN PIERCE. Washington, June 22d, 1854. The Homestead Bill passed the Senate on the 21st inst. by a vote of 3G for and 11 against it, but not in the shape in which it passed the House of Representatives some time ago. It was found that the original bill, giving away the public lands to all who would go and settle thereon, could not pass, and Mr Hunter offered a substitute which was adopted by the Senate, but will have to go back to the House for the concurrence of that body. The system propos ed by Mr Hunter extends pre-emption rights to actual settlers, and requires them to pay a small compensation for the land. It graduates the price of all the lands according to the time they may have becu in market, the scale ranging from $1 per acre down to 12 cents, and transfers their management to the States in which they lie, provided they choose to take them and pay the iraduated price. We have no idea of what will be the final fate of this bill, but it has certainly received a very flattering vote in the Senate. j synoposis of the bill, copied from the Na tional Intelligencer, will be found in another amount of money for schools and internal im- column. provement schemes by the operations of a dis- The Washington Union, in speaking of this tribution act, he hopes thereby to secure his bill as it passed the Senate, says: " The system election.

To the Iniiorats of Cumberland We say; one nd all, go to the polls on Thurs day and maintain your principles. Let not one stay behind. If the victory is won it must be worked for. Use; all honoral.de and fair means to secure a larger majority for Mr Bragg than has yet been obtained by any candidate in old Cumberland. The prospects are brightening iu every direction, but let none be too confident of success and be slow to work or nearlect to vote. After the last Presidential election we heard of several democratic voters in this coun ty who staid away from the polls because Gov. Reid carried the State by 5,000 majority, think ing there was no danger but what Pierce and King would get the same vote. But you know that we came very near losing the State. Do all you can to secure a democratic Legis lature. Remember that two U. S. Senators and the success of Free Suffrage depends on the result. Although there is a possibility' that we will lose a member from this county, in con sequence of having six democratic candidates in the field, let no democrat be deterred from doing all in his power to avert such a result. AVe hone that the excitement attending the election of Commoners in this county will cause no one to forget to cast his vote and ex ercise his influence for Mr Bragg. A word to the wise is sufficient. To the Democrats or tbe State We say, go to the polls, work, do your duty, a.nd the day will he ours.

The New Orleans Delta states that a paper is published in that city, supported by the Spanish government, called the "El Compilador Americano," whose object is to collect together all the horrible events, rascality, criminal news, lawlessness, and evils that occur in the United States, and print them for circulation in the Island of Cuba in order to create a false impression among the Creoles of can be exercised without embarrassment. It is another decided movement in the direction of State rights and popular sovereignty, because it looks to the removal of that anomalous state of things which limits the actual sovereignty of the State over the lands within its limits, and seeks to transfer the entire jurisdiction to the people of the State."

No, the government should not tolerate it, and those who practice it should be made to know that while this country acknowledges the freedom of the press, yet it is not meant that that privilege is to be extended to a foreign power, upon our own shores, to be used to our injury.

Her news is important. It is stated that the sloop of war Cyaue arrived at San Juan on the 11th inst. to demand a full and satisfactory apology for the insult to Mr Borland, minister to Central America. The authorities and inhabitants re fused to make the slightest apology. Captain llollins, on the 12th, issued a proclamation to the authorities and residents that, unless an apology was made by 9, A. M., on the 13th he should proceed to bombard the town. No apology came. Capt. H. in the meantime took possession of the Transit Company's steamers, and sent them to the town, offering protection to all who chose to accept it. Precisely at the time designated, the cannon ading commenced, and continued, with brief intermission, until 3, P. M. No disposition being manifested on the part of the inhabitants to come to terms, at 4 P. M. a party was landed from the Cyane, commanded by a Lieutenant, and burnt the town. Nothing remains but one or two shall buildings, in the suburbs, to mark the spot. No lives were lost. The whig papers have already commenced blaming the President for the above affair. Of course, nothing done by the Administration or its officers ryjht or wrong, will meet the ap probation of the whig press. If it undertakes to chastise foreign insolence, they style it a hot-headed aud premature business; or if it seeks to keep on friendly terms with foreign countries by looking over small offences, the President and his cabinet are styled cowards. So there is no chance to please them. The Prometheus brought 383 passengers and $800,000 in gold dust on freight, and $200, 000 in the hands of passengers. Late from Europe.

The chairman explained the object for which the meeting had been called, after which a stirring and eloquent speech was made by the lev. C. Shaw. The following preamble and resolutions, pre faced by a few appropriate remarks, were offer ed by Dr. W. H. Beatty and passed by accla mation: Whereas wc believe that tbe extension of the 'Wes tern Rail Road cither to Wilmington or Beaufort is inevitable; and whereas we bt-lieve that its extension to Wilmington is of vital importance o that place and very desirable to Fayetteville and ourselves ; and whereas we believe that tlie extension 01 tbe same Road West to pome point on the North Carolina Rail Road, probably at Salibui y, is equally certain, therefore Resolved. That we feel a warm interest in its exten sion both to Wilmington and the West, and will show our interest at the roper time by subscribing to the utmost of our ability. Resolved, That in our opinion the proposed road should begin on the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad at Marlsville, eleven miles from Wilmington, and go in a direct line thence to Fayetteville. Resolved, That the chairman appoint a committee of nine to consult with the people of Wilmington and Fayetteville and Salisbury as to the practicability of making these extensions, and that they be authorized to appoint a general meeting of those interested at such time and place as they may deem projier after such consultation. Resolved, That the secretary be requested to furnish a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to the papers of Wilmington. Fayetteville and Salisbury, with the request that they publish them. In accordance with the third resolution the chairman appointed the following gentlemen the committee, viz : James Kerr, N Bonham, J P Moore, James Mnrphv, W J Parker, P I, Anders, Dr W II Beatty, G W Banner man and Rev C Shaw.
