THE ABOLITIONISTS ON THE NOMINA TIONS. The entire phalanx of Northern Abolitionists and incendiariea are down hke a thousand of brick on the nomination of Fillmore and lXn. l- -n. This, as the "Richmond Whig" remarks, was eipected it is natural it is right and prop er that it should be so. No man in his senses ever dreamed of such an approved patriot and statesman ouch a conservative, national, Union loving. Constitution-reverencing politician as Mr. Fillmore being supported for any office, much 1mi the Presidencjr, by the horde of anti-skvery VealoU and fanatics af the North. No sane roar, we say, ever conceived such a thing possible, and no patriotic one ever desired it. We are eonse qnently by no means surprised at the fury and violet.ee with which these pestilent fanatics and sworn enemies of the South and the Constitution pitch into the nominees of the American party. And we are glad that they do for it proves iu contestibfy to the Southern people that the ticket nominated at Philadelphia is just what it should have been one which should command their zealous and enthusiastic support.. The honesty, rwnservatisni, and nationality of Mr. Fillmore's administration provoked the relentless hostility U the entire Abolition party at the North, and this party, hating him, as he does tlteni, with an intense and consuming hatred, will now exert themselves with fiendish energy to prevent his election. This being the ca.se, what Is the duty f all true and loyal Southern men, irrespective of party considerations ? ShoiilJ they not rally as ru man around a state&man they have trial, and he administration will involve no violence and no wrong tor Southern institutions n ad luinutration in which ak' sections of our common country may cheerfully confide, and which will iiiot certainly protect the South in all her rights f and interests. appeal to Sou t her u ntcu of A parties to deliberate well and long before they tondode to discard a man so firm, so true, and a-perfcctly unexccptionaVle. We ask them, as pa triots and loyal Southerners, not to vote sgainsi vne whom the Abolitionists so hate and fear, and iu whose conservatite, straight-forward adminis tration of the" government the South may so im plicitly coufide, .withont the remUest danger of auy invasion of her honor or injury to her insti tutions.

Editob: The time is drawing near for the assembling of the Convention of the Ameri can party of .North Carolina, at Greensboro , to nominate a candidate for Governor. Upon that Doayjwiu devolve a grave responsibility. It will be their first Sute Convention, and upon its ac tion rill materially depend the success of the party; in North Carolina. It j behooves them to selec a standard-bearer, an able, energetic, and firm an one who, although he' may be new in the political arena,, has all the elements of char acter; to insure a faithful and full canvass. The candidate should be a person not ouly able to ad vocate the principles of that- great party, upon whose success depends the preservation of Amer ican 'jiberty, but one who will, with a bold, fear less, hnd unsparing hand, strip off from the De mocracy the tinsel and tawdry ornaments, which covei up and conceal corruptions and rotteuness, such ss never belonged to any party heretofore existing in this country;, will show that they, while1 professing to be the friends of the people. only j support ihe rights of party make conn- try siioservieni to parry trie people to poli ticians, and, while pretending to be consist ent in all things, have been consistent otuy tenacity wiin which tnev ciine to UipuWic purse -who have been, and arejjaja-ifiaiiy of their present gTeat lights. hffye -declared, "held together : only hv tlifi-eTiejife power of public plunder." To) lierform this task as it should be done, re quire talents of it high order, joined with fear lessness and : determination. The Democracy are clothed with the power of office, and they will struggle desperately to retain it. They are well drilled, and fight for bread they are on theside opposed to the best interests of their couutrv, ami fight the harder from the consciousness of Iwini engaged in the support of a bad cause. All tpe qualities which are necessary to be pos sessed by him, who is to be our leader in ihe bat tle to be fought against this band of " public plunderers," (uing the language of some of their present leaders,) are united in THOMAS D, MEARES, Esq., of Brunswick. Ife is the cld- dest bon of the late William B. Meares, whose character tor iutegritv and firmness of purpose is well known throughout the State. Bred to the bar, he quit a lucrative practice, some five years since, and devoted himself to the culriva-i tion of the soil, with such energy aud success as to be regarded one of the best rice planters on the Cape Fear. He is a native of the Cape Fear region, and I think all will admit that that sec tion pf the State, which originated, and has given to the State, a system of Internal Improvement, is entitled to some favor at the hands of the peo ple of the State, aud I am nt mistaken in sup posing that his elevation will be regarded witl ninety favor by a pw-ple with Whose interests his own jare so intimately' connected. He is,an en thusiastic advocate of the principles of the Amer ican party, and has ever been ready to do battle for them. He is bol-1, fearless, indefatigable, and an able and eloquent speaker; and I know of no one who is capable of making a more successful canvass. , While I say these thiugs of Mr. Meares, I do not, oy any means, de-irc to lie understood as un dervaluing the claims of others, whose names have been jmeutioned in counection with the office. We have many men of our party who would adorn the office of Governor, and to whom I would give a warm support.! We have a Presi dential candidate w hose name alone is a tower of strength. Millard Fillmore; possesses the heart of the people of North Carolina. Four years ago, be could have carried the State by thou sand. All true men, who desired the good of the country, would have given him an enthusiastic support. They will do it at the next election, and, if we are true to ourselves, we can and will rescue the State from the hands of those who, for the last four yean, have managed it for party and not for the people. And while I admit that there are many who would lead us on to the combat with great ability, I hope I shall not be regard ed asf illiberal, if I say that none would exceed in ability, or industry, and energy, Thomas D, Meares!" BRUNSWICK. March 5, 1856, FOB THE REGISTER. . Mb. Editor Sir : Our usually quiet little village was to-day thrown into a state of consid erable excitement and alarm; At an hour when 'twas least expected, a bell was heard to ring, and verylsoon large numbers of persons, among whom were several physicians, were seen rushing from all quarters towards the Court-house; Curious to learn the cause of the excitnent, I mingled with the trowd and pressed towards the place of at traction. Reaching the door of the court room, I found it so densely crowded as to completely bar further entrance. Where I stood, . however, I -coutl occasionally hear a voice rising above the din of the trampling mass, and giving utterance to .ii variety of incoherent expressions, such as "Mallard Fillmore 1" "Boston!4 "Jerry!'' "1850!'' and many others which I will not attempt to re peat. The voice I thought I recognized as that of my frigud. Mr. Wm. A. Jenkins,' a wordy littlje man of Warrenton. Aware of an infirmi ty ith which he is afflicted, and anxious for his personal safety, I endeavored to reach a point where I might at least behold, if I could not ren der; him immediate assistance. I succeeded, and trujy, sir, it was a most melancholy spectacle that met my view. Mr. Jenkins seems to have been suddenly attacked-with one of those periodi cl fits to which he is subject, termed, I believe, by his physicians, the cxdamalotjaculaio in terogaio ddirium. His ' face fearfully flushed, hisieyes flashing fire, features distorted, and with his! arms striking wildly iuto the vacuity of space, seemingly contending against a legion of imaginary fiends, he preseuted, sir, a worthy ob ject) for the commiseration - of all who admire genius, and can pity reason dethroued. Nor was the dire attack confined to him alone, Mr; Editor, but like a ravaging contagion as it was, it spread to several other gentlemen present, who were, however; of mere powerful physical constitutions and were consequently less harmed. The crowd, jianic-strickenwas now rapidly dif-'r persing, the room was soon cleared, the windows opened, and a brisk breejse springing up soon produced the desired effect ef restoring the un fortunate gentlemen to composure, and of reliev ing the anxiety of their numerous friends, i .

THE AGENTS SKETCH OF COLP0BTAGE IN NORTH CAROLINA. h God has graciously brought me through the labors of another Colportage year," which makes 44 months and 14 days I have now tried to serve in this department of Christian toil ; during which, I have sold 8,502 volumes, containing 2,612,500 pages, in value $2,041 09 f tod given away 2,7 6 volumes, containing upwards of 700, 000 pages, in value $463 55. , Visited, talked on religion or prayed with 4,860 different famii lies ; of whom I found 742 habitually neglecting church, 1,032 destitute of all religious books or papers except the Bible, and 412 without God's Word ; 1726 of these never had a religious visit and prayer with their, families before. ,' I have been informed of more than 200 persons who at tribute their conversion to the blessing of God upon books and tracts I have distributed, besides a great many who have given up liquor selling and drinking, Sabbath-breaking, and other vices, frcm reading publications on- these subjects. I J. j iiave, in thorough cabin, tajight scares .of chil Ireri, (aj,uiany - parents; the alphabet and to "jneiiy of whom 1 have since heard read welf in the Bible, and some of whom are now Sabbath School teacherB. I have also aided ia holding 474 public meetings, and received dona tions for the Tract Cause in North Carolina a mounting to 2,639 90. , In view of these hum ble labors, I feel to give God all the., glory for the success and. blessings given, and humbly ask His forgiveness for all rriy uufaithfnlnessand rors. i . , - During the year just closed, I have had very much to comfort my; own soul and encourage me to persevere, in God's strength, until the Christ, that they may live for Him in this world and with him in Heaven. -. . la doing the double work of a Colporteur and Collecting Agent, I have, the past year, visited 1,243 families. In this number I met ministers and Christians of every denomination amoug us, aud together our hearts were made to burn with in1 us, from feeling and speaking of the. love ofJ Christ to sinners, and ot the same heavenly home for which we were striving, through faith in the same blessed Jesus. And iu this number I met hundreds in this my native State who are rap idly flying to God's bar and sinking to ruin, with out a correct knowledge of Jesus as the Saviour of sinners, .shall be supplied with printed truth, and persuaded, around their firesides, to come to with every class, from our highest ruters in Church and Sute, down to the poorest and most degraded sul ject ; and with humble thankfulness to G.xi I can nay, that I left every one with an increase of courage to toil oa in "the highways and hedges" of the Lord's vineyard. Of these 1,243 I lotind 72 families who had not been to church from 1 to 34 years, and the average of their going to church wa3 once m 4j yeura ;.17 had never had a religious visit or prayer around their fireside before. To every poor, destitute family, I gave bo-'ks, which, iu the year, has a mounted to S63 84. I have met and aldressed more than 2,400 children in Sabbath Schools and fsctories. Although I have been greatly hindered in my work by the severe affliction of myself and family, and other uncontrollable cir cumstances, yet the amount of donations I have received is J250 60 greater than during the pre ceding year ; and still we fall behind support ing our own work, because, first, of the great des titution we have to supply gratuitously, and, secondly, because there are hundreds of liberal persons that we have not been able to reach, whom I earnestly solicit to forward me here, by mail, such amounts as they may feel anxious' to give, to carry Gospel truth to the houses and hearts of our own poor all over North Carolina. It is cheering to learn that God has revived His work on almost every field where our Colpor teurs have scattered the precious truths of Bax ter, Dixldridge, James, Hall, and others. A more deep and general revival of religion has not been known in this State for maliy years. In this one County, more than 600 were hopefully con verted last year. Not a little has Colportage aided in this, but how much eternity only can reveal. An experienced minister said to me, "I regard you everywhere going and praying Col porteurs as my best 'helps,' under God. to bring our scattered people to church and to Christ, and I intend to pray God to give me such a man to labor with me wherever I go to preach." . The progress of education in North Carolima, of late, has been astonishingly great. The cen sus of 1840 shotfsj that there were, at all our Schools, only 16,4$3 scholars, and now there are at least 120,000 students attending' them an increase of more than 600 per cent. And there can be no doubt but that Colportage has render ed great aid to our Common, School system, in producing tliis happy change. I could give many striku.g facts on this point. ' i In re-visiting 6 families, I found that two had commenced family worship from reading, "Ne vcus' Practical Thoughts." A lady had been converted from reading "Importance of Conside ration," by Bishop Mcilvaine ; and a grog-seller gave tip his traffic by reading "Edwards" Tem perance Manual."

O, aged i7 yean. ii Mr. Streeter wti born In Mm Coantr of Orne, Bod eoa tlnuied to resido ther from hi birth until fail death. Tb day on which be died, he had cone to Oreenville, to attend to the tranaaetion of hi uiual bttnineas, where he was iud dealy taken HI. Proper remedies were ueed, but they were of no araU. .Attempting- to return home, he became too un well to proneed, and wai compelled to (top at the etore of a friend. In a short time, before be could be remoTed thence, the dread summons came, and suddenly his spirit was call ed back to the God who gay it- .This distressing calamity Has fallen beayuy upon a large circle of those who had es teemed, and honored, and loved the long-tried and faithful friend of their early years, their manhood and their old age. HI rigid-uprightness and Integrity had gifen him the res pect and confidence of all who knew him, and his general beneyolence, hia unvarying kindness of demeanor, and boun tiful rhartiy, had endeared him to many.' j He was onf of our most extensive planters, and by liberal experiments, and successful management, he contributed greatly to the improvement of the system of agriculture, in his county ; and by his exemplary conduct as a citlnen, a friend and neighbor, he continued, through his whole life, to exercise a kindly and beneficent influence upon the commu nity in wtucn be lived We bad lew like him, and bis loss will be long and very deeply felt. lie lived among us many years; be had his faults, for he was human, but fata many excellencies and virtues far out-weighed them ; and there are lew wbo depart from this world, after so long a sojourn, and leave behind them a name so fair, and an escutcheon ef character so free from spot or stain; ' i : Suddenly! without immediate warning, the band of death was laid upon him, and his soul was ia the presence of its Qod, ere it had realised that its last hour on earth had some. Those who loved him most were not with him in his last agony; they have not the remembrance of his last farewell, his last words of solemn warning, and of deep affection, to console them ia their sad affliction. But, he was not alone in this trying hour, he had made for himself a friend, whose love was Infinite, and whose power to soothe, and cUeerr and sustain him in the awful snuggle, was for greater than all tbateartnroningive. In the latter years ofhislife, he open ly professed; the principles which had always guided and go verned him, and before the world placed upon his shoulders the Uverv of Christ. .' Small chansre was needed to make hint an K cepted follower of bis Savior, and we, whom he has ten to mourn ulat here, sorrow not as those without hope, but have pur greatest eonsolation iu the confident trust that be had, by sincere repentance and Oodly amendment, made atonement for the few errors of bis life, and rendered him self worthy, through the merits of his Redeemer, to claim at tn banas 01 bis creator tae last great reward of a good and faithful servant.
