which are now threatened with overthrow hj
the corrvpt, aectional and boagtinjc policy which
has characterized the ruling Dynasty.
It U.hardtj.neceaaary that we should tll our
ndrs who Millard Fillnora bO The widoo
and patriotiain which marked hi administration
of U Government, from the death of Gen. Taj
. t-xthe arotMooo of Franklin Pierce, are too
deeply encraven oa the minda and hearts of the
American People, ever to be effaced. There ill
be no brighter in the' dill bi-tory of this
Union, than that on which are recorded the policy
ad acts of Millard Fillniore's administration !
Called to the .helnv at a period when the wisest I
and best statesmen of the land looked to the fu
ture with melancholy treboding for the fste of
the Unsan and our republican institutions. In
was enabled, by a wise Jnrerasi and patriotic Je
vution and firmne, so to guide the remri of
Ststsv that she weathered the storm, and when
he retired fmtn her command, be lea ber safely
moored into port, not a single spar broken-her
rigjdne all iq perfect order her bulk 'sound .
and her crew rejuking that they had escaped thel
tUotS which bad threatened to engulf them !
We hare tried him once in the most trying and
foomy period of our country's existence an.
he. proved bimeelf able, patriotic, aifl faithful to I
the Constitutioo and the Union, and where is
ta be ft si ad a conservative, national, patriotic
citizen of the Republic, who is not wiUmg to
trust him again? We bail bis nomination for
t ha Presidency aa the harbinger of peace to our
distracted country, and we rejoice that the good
and patriotic have now afforded them, in sustain
ing him, an opportunity to rescue the Union
from tl at dissolution, and the Constitution from
the overt row, with which they are threatened
by corrupt and designing politicians who are
bent on nothing but mischief to all we hold dear.
-Let the friends f the country, those who
vsIm the Union who desire the re-estabiish-inaut
of harmony, and who long for the perpe
tuity of our glorious institutions of pmmiTpent
buckle on their armor and resolve not to aban
don the field, until victory a victory of. conser
vatism over Elastic ism, of nationality' ever aeo
ftxiAlism, of patriotism over parti zan selfish
ness, of th friends of order and law . over tbe
artificers of discord and anarchy, of the! coun
try, and the snUb conn try, over its designing and
rscklass enemies, shall have crowned their ef
forts. ;,;': -",
Again wt ask, who, standing in the full blaze
of the glory which was thrown around our coun
try by the administration of Millard Fillmore,
can re fuse again to trust him, can refuse to give
their aid to place him once more in a position,
-where he will be able to do so much for tbe honer
and prosperity of the country ? '
We regard the nomination of Andrew Jackson
' Doelaoo,T Tmoeaaae, tor the Ykt Presidency,
as on which will be cordially responded to by
the friends' of order and good government,
those who are sick of tbe corruption and venal
ity of the present administration, throughout
the country. He Ja a LIgh-toned, intelligent,
chivalrous gentleman, ynasef ing a clear. head
and a patriotic heart. He acted with the Demo
cratic Party daring the administration 'of Gn.
Jackson, and enjoyed the unbounded confidence
tt the old hero, but seeing the corrupt and dan
geroaa'tendency of tbe policy adeptad by the
Pierce dynasty, be abandoned and openly de
nounced the party aa now constituted, and ral
lied with alacrity ander the banner of tbe Nation
al American Party, ae the only hope of the coun
try. He has Keen true to hk carers, true to the
Vxniututioo and the Union, end we have every
confidence, that, if elected to the Vice Presidency,
be will not only fulfil the duties af that office
with ability, but that he will prove true to the
.tights of each and every section of tbe whole
. country. '
Then, let all conservative, patriotic men, go at
once to Work. . Let meeting be held in each
raunty in the 8tate to ratify the nominations.-

Mr. DHielxu being present, made a rvh,
returning his thanks for the high honor conterred
upon Liui. The best feeling prevailed, and the
frieols if Mr. Fillmore maniteste1 great enthu
sissiii. The following altra t of Mr. lionelson's
rvmarks we tiud in tlie J'tiiladdpLia North Arue
riaii :
He said that he was exceedingly gratified at
to say that lie accepted the nomination tendered
with a proper sense of the feebleness of lowers
he puosesseil. But 1 e boj-ed that he might here
after do uior titan he had yet had an opM.rtuni
ty to rforiu t advaiKs tbe caiiMC in wnich all
of tboo prest-ul felt so; deep an interest. He had
lieen chierty known to the Ainefh an people fnm
Us connection with Ceneral Jscksn. From that
great tnau he had learned tbe esseutial principles
of AmericAnim. That man bad uttered the sen
timent which now met with such general sympa
thythat America should become more Ameri
cauixed.. The speaker bad been thirty years with
General "Jackson ; and had sjieeches and letters
from him by the thousand. In 1832, General
Jackson had fought the enemies of the Union, in
his own best slyle, which had utterlyVrushed br
tlie time all ult nutans.
The speaker said he was born in a Southern
State. He was the owner of over 100 slaves,
He loved the institutions of th South. But he
owed a debt of gratitude to th people of the
North. ' At the South they claimed nothing that
he would not willingly grant to the North, the
East, and the West. He had left the. Democra
tic party. (A voice the Democratic party left
you !) Yes that's so. (Applan.se.) 1 1 left tlie
higher law men of that party. When he found
that President Pierce was disposed to build up
the South as tlie South, and tlie North as the
North, he had concluded that the administration
was one of altraisms. It was a combination to
obtain power, without care as regards the adminis
tration of the a&urs of tbe country. 'The speaker
said that he' bail been shot at, politically, be
meant because be had joined the American par
ty. He 1 ad seen that there was no hope of pro
moting domestic tranquility, or of protecting our
foreign relations, under the administration of Mr.
Pierce, and he bad joined this organization in the
hope that these objects might be accomplished:
With these hopes he had entered the party,
and be would do all in bis power until this hope
should be realized. He accepted this nomination,
hoping that the result would justify the confi
dence placed in him. Here Andrew Stewart
arose and inquired if General Jackson were living
now, where would he be ? With .what party
would he harmonize ?3 Mr. Douelaon replied
With the American party.. He never uttered a
single word adverse to the principles we advocate.
Aye, and not only he, bnt Clay and Webster, if
living, would be with us, and sanction the great
principles embodied in the American platform.
He hal been present during the sessions of the
Convention, and when attempts had been made
to disorganize the party, be had bem reminded
of in anecdote of Gen. Jackson. On the morn
ing of the battle of the 8th of January, a mes
aeuger came to tieneral Jackson with the infor
niaiion that the Legislature was about to adjourn,
for tsr that the British would tike the eity.
Till tl vernor Claiborne; saTJ Jackson, td blow it
up. And so be (the speaker) would say with
regard to the disorgamzers. who wanted to dis
band the American party, lie was .no orator,
but whatever he had vf energy, talent, good will
and devotimi t American interest, should le
given to this cause, until victory perched upon its
banners. The speaker theu retired amid tre
mendous cheering.'" -
- Mr. A. H. H. Stewart, former Secretary of the
Interior, under Mr, Fillmore, wa loudly called
ft. """ .' ' : ' ' ' '
"Mr. Stewart said, he had the honor fo be om
of Mr. Fillniore's cVmnMentlal Cabinet Council
during his administration, and raw him amidst
bisT trials. ' Withont g"ing into a detail -of hi.
yirtim, he would confent himself by ssymg that
lie never knew him' to utter a w-ntiincnt or do ai
act that was unworthy of i he rharscter of Wssli
ington. i Even Mr.'Vise,nt the tune he stumpei
the State of Virginia, said tlisf "the sxTmiiiistratioi
of Fillmore wis Washington-like , throughout,- .
With Fillnor a the standard bearer ."the snea
' k" promised the Conrentioo' ihat everf old VI
einla would be carried. Mr. Wise claimed bu
elartimi bv the vote of 17.000 outside Whiga, and
he could now promise the vote of those W bigs for
Millard Fillmore. Un ms way to rnis ix)nriuiou
the editors of the Richmond Whig and National
Intelligencer promised that if MiUard' Fillmore
was nominated by this invention, uwy wuuiu
place his name at the masthead, and keep it
there. . .
Mr. McCunej of Virginia, wid that the Nation
al Council had adopted a platform which was
tiorh,n nitlwr to- the North, nor the
Month Thev had now a platform which
was satisfactory to both, in the shape of Fillmore
and Donerson. He movea mat mis uonvenuou
f all nlatforms.
A motion waa made to adjourn " die, arid it
prevailed. ' ' . .
Immediatelf afterward. Col. E. B. Bartlett, of
Kentucky, was called to the chair, and the as
semblage present w organized as an impromp
tu ratification meetine. The President made a
fev eulogistic remarks expressive of bis hearty
ooneiirrence in ine nouiiimuou ui n u
i w v r , -w r ri nor nr.
mJnaiioi. of Kentuckv -to. elect the American
Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania, followed in
an euloeistic speech of tlfe cautiUte lor t resi-
dpnt. Millard Fil more.
He was succeelet by Mr. oneeis, oi inaiaua,
and Mr. Breckenbridee. of Missouri, in the same
strain. Mr. Sheets saM that he had len a member
of the Cincinnati Convention, which meeting he
thought had aaved the American party North.
He couiu not pienge inaiana nr iuc aiucu.u
ticket, but he and his friends would go home
ana do what they could.
The Convention then adjourned sine iifr ,
Pending the balloting for candidates, a small
portion, the Abolition portion of the Delegates
from New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylva
nia and Illinois bolted. They were a mee
handful of factionists, who left the Convention
for the Convention s gcod ; of whom the Conven
tion did well to purge itself, as so much chaff,
men who never hail anv business in its delibera
tions, whose presence was instigated by the Sag
Nichts party, with the hope of producing disor-
er aud disbaudonment, and who, being driven
out by the national and conservative meji; to go
and affiliate with their brother disorganizes in
PitUburg, were no more missed than the hiatus
iu a sentence which can be left out without al-
e f
teriug its meaning. (
There is one circumstance connected with the
selection of Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson as
the nominees of .the American Tarty, that we. de
sire to make impressive. The nominating Convene
tion Mttktr accejtUd nor rtjeeted the platform of the
Xatiitial Council, but. properly eschewing all
ilat forms, left the nominees free from all pledges
and unfettered by any other restriction than those
which are imjjnseJ by the federal Constitution:

Oua RkXatiosb with Esglakd. It turns
out that the dispatches received by our govern
ment from Mr. Buchanan do not at all sustain
the intimations of the London prrss, respecting
the state of affairs between the two countries.
On the contrary, it appears that there is, :no
cause to apprehend any rupture of diplomatic
intercourse from the present aspect of the case.
Our readers will be equally gratified with our
selves, that the state of our relations with Eng
land is thus relieved from the rumors and un
founded imputations of the English press. At
the same time we are admonished by a variety" of
current facts, aside from the actual demands of
our growing commerce and the constant develop
ments of new interests abroad, to augment and
strengthen our general system of national de
fence. The increase of our navy is a thing of
leading importance amongst our national affairs,
and we hope that Congress will not . only turn
their attention to it with a disposition to effect
such a purpos e, but go . into the matter with
earnest nees and zeal, and do something that will
give us a perceptible result. This and the com
pletion of a judicious chain . of fortification
throughout the accessible .waters of our coasts
are demanded by the exigencies of the times, and
for the security and dignity of the nation.' ! ;

COL; HOKE'S LETTER.
The lastt f'Sfandardl contains a letter from Col.
J. F. Hoke on the subiect of his connection with
the" American organization, which, in some res
pects, is a most unique, and, in others, a most dis
ingenuous production. He says he received "no
authentic notice of the'fact" that he had been ap
pointed by the State Council a Delegate to the
National American Convention, which met on
the 22nd ultimo. We do not know what Col. H.
regards as "authentic notice," but that he teas no
tified, and knew that the friends of the American
Party expected him to attend, there can -be no
doubt, if the information imparted to us be cor
rect. . There were delegates from his own section
in attendance on the State Council,- and was not
Col. H. expressly informed by them, or some of
them, that he had been appointed ? Why did he
not then signify bis "holy horror" of secret organi
zations? Had he then withdrawn from the or-
ler ? We opine not, from what we hear.
- But the Colonel has a religious abhorreuce, all
of a sodden, of secret organizations! . Whence
this sudden change ? Did he not know the or
ganization was secret when, during the last Ses
sion of the Legislature," he joined it f Why dkl
he not withdraw then f Why did he so zealous
ly endeavor to persuade others to join ? Did he
act on the principle which governed the fox who
had his tail cut off by the trap 1 What mad
frenzy had seized him, so as to induce him to ex
hibit so much willingness "to raise his voice" iu
the Council chamber, in defence of the Order ?
Now, every body who is acquainted with Col. H.
knows he is not unintelligent that he cannot
stultify himself, as some little popinjays who
joined the Order have done, by entering the plea
that they were deceived by the leaders I The
Colonel happened to be one of those who himself
led, who was looked up to as one of the "grand
and potent seignors" of the Order, of full age,
mature discretion, approved by the "sovereigns",
of his section as worthy and well qualified to
legislate for them, even, in the Senate ! He was
consequently no babyl like some young neophytes
wo dd make themselves out, to be hid,, like
Moses, the ancient law-giver, in the bulrushes.
He knew what he was about when he joined the
Order. He knew well what he was doing, when,
for twelve months or more, he acted with it, and
eld himself out as a sincere, advocate of itsprin?
tiples. Whence, then, we again ask, his sudden
inrror of secret organizations? So long as the
organization vat secret in its operations, he re
mained a member, but so soon as it abolished
secrecy and stood forth, like all other parties, he
abandoned it, and raised the cry of opposition to
secret organizations ! Does lie ever expect to be
caught again, in a Democratic Caucus? 1 How
horrible! I
But the Colotiel thinks the American Party
right in sfveral main and essential particulars.
He thinks the immigration of foreigners and for
eign influence a dangerous and a growing eril!
So do the National Americans. ! , I
He is in favor of religious toleration, and be..
lieves our government founded on a Protestant
basis! So do the Natijpal Americans.
He views the 12th article of the June Platform
as national and solceni! So do the National
Americans, however much they may differ as to
the policy of inserting it in the platform.
The Colonel says, and truly too, that "sound
policy dictates that National men' should stand
together!" So say the National Americans, and
they have suited the action to the word, and
proved their sincerity, by nominating Fuxmore
for the Presidency, as patriotic, conservative, and
national a man as can be found in the nation ! Can
the Colonel gainsay this? .Where can be find
safer men than the National American Party has
nominated ? We agree with him that "all na
tional men should stand together." We take him
at his word. He was a good counsellor in the
'secret organizations," and he has lost none of his
sound judgment and patriotism ip his public ad?
monitions ! Come, then,- Cbtonel,' don't allow
yourself to be again humbugged, and lashed into
the traces, by that "old man of the sea," who
presides over th destinies of the "Standard,'
but rally around the banner which you pledged
yourself to sustain, inscribed with the names of
Fillmore and Ponklsou I There Is nothing but
nationality and patriotism thebr !

when the tin-shop of W. J. Lougee,1a the cen

Accident and Detention. The N C. R. R.
mail train; due at 5-27 o'cl.x-k, did not arrive
here, on Wednesday morning, until 11 o'clock.
About. 14 miles this. 'side of Charlotte, the' cow
catcher was driven under the sills pf the track,
and tore the iron up for some distance, the relay
ing of which detained the cars six hours.

Heavy Freight Train. A Freight train passed
down the road to Goldsboro,' from the West, oh
Wednesday, consisting of thirteen cars loaded
with Flour, Tobaeco and Wheat. A good sign
of the "better day a' coming." -
Bowling Alley. A bowlingaWey is now in the
course of erection on the premiss owned by Dr.
Cooke, at the north-western corner of the State j
House square. Bowling is both a healthful and
innocent amusement.
Chance for improvement. The vacant lot on
Fayetteville street, opposite " Pomeroy'3," pre
sents a fine opportunity to some of our enter
prising citizens to erect a handsome row of Brick j
Stores and Dwellings. It is really an eye-sore,
and as we pass aud gaze on the chimneys which
remain standing, it would seem as if "two small
monuments " had been erected to mark the appa
rent sluggishness of our citizens, - .
Tbtrrt Pumps. We notice that preparations
are leing made to have the force' pumps hither
to used in the public 1 well retrioved, to be re
placed with the dhT-fashioqed wooden stocks
How will the cisterns on Fayetteville street be
filled with water ? tbe wooden pumps having
no fixtures on them to which te. attach a hose.
Something ought to be done to remedy this de
fect. - . - --v, i;, '-.

NOMINATION OF MILLARD FILLMORE
4 "I ? FOR THE PRESIDENCY. -k,C':
-' The American National Convention in session
at Philadelphia" yesterday, nominated the Hon.
Millard Fillmore as the candidate of the party
for the Presidency. We are without particulars,
at this rime, of the circumstances attending tbe
achievement of this gratifying result, but cannot
refrain from briefly congratulating our ' readers
and; the country upon a fact that speaks at once
of union, harmony, nationalism J and saccess.
. The selection of Mr. Fillmore places the Ame4
rican party upon a platform of couseryatisro,
concihatiop, and compromise, which' we' 'firmly
believe it could not have so certainly reached by
the nomination of any other candidate, and will
draw to its support the 'national, Union-loving
masses in all sections of the country. Such a
man may be trusted without a blind confidence
in the platform on which he is placed. . He has
been tried and approved,' and if again elevated
to the Presidency will . be found, as heretofore,
