Mr. Fillmore, after General Taylor 'a death, dis charged the duties of President for nearly four yers, with great ability and with general satis faction. Lie came to the'. goTernment when it was in a storm, as now, upon the exciting subject of slavery. And such was the propriety of his measures and the firmness of his administration, that he left the goTemm tot in a calm, such as it had not enjoyed for many years. In that calm, the present administration came in, and such has been its course of impolicy and weakness, that the very storm which Mr.FUlmore had quieted lus been laisexf again, and threatens as with de struction. Give him back the government, and every factionist, Torth and South, would dwindle down into such a mere sneck of a statesman, that you .might handle him with tweeters, and confidence will be restored, and the storm will pass without hurt.

But it is your own, and you cans ot over-estimate its importance.

' TheIedical Society of N.'C commenced its Seventh Annual Session, in this Gty, on Tues day last, and adjourned on Thursday. . The Annual Address was delivered by Dr. Ed ward WAJtBEsr, of Ed en ton, on Wednesday, at 12 o'clock, in the Senate .Chamber, before the members of the Society and a number of the citi zens. Subject: The Medical Profession, its History and Progress. The address was capital ly conceived, elegantly written and admirably delivered. Dr. Was RUT ia quite a young mem ber of the profession, but he writes and speaks with the' experience of a veteran ; and we feel no hesitation in saying, that when his production is published, it will reflect the highest honor on its author as well as the Society. Dr.- Maxsoh read an able paper on the Epi demic Fevers incident 'to his immediate locality. on the Roanoke River. Dr. PrmfAir also re ported some interesting cases in Surgery. Va rious discussions arose daring the session upon a number of medical subjects, which were partici pated in by most of the members present. The Officers of the Society for the present year, are: Dr Johnson, of Raleigh, President ; Dra, Gibson, of Concord Manson, of Granville, Whitehead, of Rowan, and Faisorr, of Duplin, Vice President j Dr. W. G. Thomas, of Wil mington, Secretary; Dr. J. B. Dunn, of Wake, Treasurer ; Dr. ST. S. SatchwelLof New Hanover, Orator. Delegates to the American Medical As sociation: Dra, Manson, Faison, Pittman, Ma bry, Dickson, Satch well, McKee, Warren, Macon, Powe, Kelly, Henderson, and P. P. Peace. On Wednesday evening, the members-of the' Society, in -company with a number of invited guests, partook of an Entertainment at the Tar brough House, given by the Physicians of Ra leigh. We regret that it .was out of our power to be present, but we understand that every thing passed off in the best possible manner. The next meeting is to be held in the town of EJenton, on the second Tuesday in April, 1867. MR. FILLMORE'S ACCEPTANCE. We shall publish hereafter extracts from a let ter from the Hon. Mr. Haven, of New York, the taw partner and confidential friend of Mr. Fill more, touching Mr. Fillmore's acceptance of the. Philadelphia nomination. - There is no doubt of his accepting, notwithstanding the predictions and. Wishes of the locofoco leaders. Since his no mination, as Mr. Haven tells us, he has made the following declaration, so worthy of the man and so pleasing to his friends: . "I am determined to sink or swim, live or die with my friends. Our cause is just, for it is tbe cause of our common country and every part of it, and we'ought to triumph'; but if we fail, we shall at least have .the consolation of knowing that we were engaged in a righteous cause and deserts foccesa." A PLAGUE UPON" SUCH PROTECTION. Congress has fust rotad a million and a half acres of pubKo lands for tailroad purposes in Iowa. -And so,-session after session, is the com mon domain of the Union being given away to build up the free-soil States, and the so-called De mocracy, so far from having power to prevent it. actually contributes) it through the voteaof many of its Western and Northern members. All this Democracy have power to do, and really ding states being put on an equality wifh the abolition, states, by receiving the shares of pub- lie lands or their proceed to which they are just ly entitled. If locofocos ! would talk less about state-rights; and do more, to enable the states to take care of their rights, we should hear much less of Northern aggressions and Southern ! wrongs. For many years after the adoption of the federal constitution, the Southern States held a majority in Congress, and exerted a controlling influence in the federal government. The census tables show that the Increase in native - popula tion since that time has been greatest in the slave- holding states. They would have maintained and Increased their ascendency in the Union but for the "democratic" policy that has encouraged the influx of an ocean-tide of anti-elavery senti ment from Europe, that has not merely been left free to follow its predisposition' to settle in the free states and territories, bat has been en cooraged to da so by bribes of public lands and immediate' investment there with the franchh&s and privileges of citizenship. Vet the patty to -whom these things are so justly chargeable, that none have the hardihood to defend themselves against them, claim to be the party that take care of the rights and interests of the Southern 'States! 1 : lJ : MR. READER LETTER. i We have the gratification of presenting entire, in our issue of to-day, the admirable letter of the Hon. Edwtit G. Reads, recently ad- dre seed to his constituents. Rarely have we read a more masterly production, and never have we witnessed a more finished excoriation, a more genteel lashing, or a more decent stripping off of the hide, than that which, he administers to that prince of traitors' and demagogues, Thomas L. Clingman. As the "Washington Organ" re marked, some days since, it is positively " cruel" in Mr. Reade, we had thought he had more of the " milk of human kindness " about him. - But we detain our readers from thiaglorious letter. R apeak far ittelf, and we commend it to universal perusal. ' 1 ..,..,. Black Republicanism Heelpino thk Dkmoc- bact. It is evident from remarks recently made by the New York Tribune, that ever since the American party adopted a conservative national platform, the ultra anti-slavery men in the non slavebolding States have, been voting with the so-called Democracy. They commenced it last year in Indiana, Maine, and Pennsylvania, and have continued it this spring in New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island. .In Philadelphia, at the recent election, the uRraa voted with the Democracy," and had only set up candidates of their.ownas a sort of blind. The object of the ultra Black Republicans in doing this was to show what they term " the weakness of the American party," and to frighten the opposition to the administration in the ' non slavebolding States into a union with them, the said Black Republicans. At the same time they hoped by that course to discourage and dishearten the American party of the Southern States. As the " Democracy" have so often said that they would prefer to see an "abolitionist elected President to any man who opposeg the introduc tion of foreign convicts and paupers, it necessarily follows that the abolitionists reciprocate this kind- ness, and would prefer seeing a " Democrat" elected to an American No man in the country can be more hated by them than Mr. Fillmore. He proved a thorn in their side when he was fillng the Presidency, and they will never forgive him for it. This abolition1 hatred of him ought .to cause the South to rally .'around him to a man, and such would be the case, if it were not a prac tice with the "Democracy" of that region to strike down the best friends of the South living North. The fact that the ultra-slavery men, in perfect union with the foreign party, could not carry the States of Connecticut and New Hampshire for the latter, and achieved nothing more marvellous for them than wjiat happened in Philadelphia, with hundreds of Americans temporarily voting the aame way; shows that, as nltraists, they have no weight and strength, though they make a won derful noise in the world. .They have now af forded proof that the American party, North, is not only a party of great strength but a party thoroughly purged of every thing like abolition ism, I j. ; 1 I fQP Wx design publishing, in a few days, co pious extracts from the recent speech of the Hon. Hxxbt M. Fcxlks, In the' House of Represen tatives, in vindication of himself from the foul and false chargesagainst him which have filled the mouths of anti-American orators, and with which the anti-American press have teemed. Few men have been assailed with such bitterness, and so unjustly assailed, and he deserves shearing at t!ie hands of the Southern press, especially.- The " American Orgah," speaking of this effort of Mr. Foxlie's, says - - Never have we witnessed a more triumphant 1 vindication by -any of the great orators of our time of their own principles and consistency, or a more thorough annihilation of political oppo nents. By this speech, Mr, Fuller has at one bound attained the highest rank as a parliament ary debater, and the opposition may well con gra nulate itself, if it can find among its numerous and well-trained cohorts a single cnsmpion wno can refute his masterly arguments." -; i - r 1 . jpy The anti-American Convention, to nomi nate candidates for the Legislature, and for Sheriff, (that ia, f, Ac, &c) meets in this city, on Monday next. Sport ahead I . ' , J, HARD RUN. The" "Raleigh Standard' (which Boasts that its party has the Americans "on the defensive -and must keep them there,") failing in its efforts to frighten the Eastern people with the idea that the Western Address is the Grecian Horse, which is to destroy their liberties, d1 failing still more signally m the effort to induce them to believe, by its mere assertiqa.' (hat Mr. Gilmer is either against Free-Suffrage or ip fsvor of the. White Basis, is actually compelled, in order to keep up its offensive warfare, to assume, that he made his laie appointments without consulting "jrovernor Brace : and it denounces hira lustily therefor! . . . . . . ta. - I Oh t most lame and imnotent conclusion. Now we cannot at all see why Mr Gilmer is bound thus" to inform Gov. Bragg," (si though we have no doubt in the world but that he did so). The latter has thoroughly canvassed the State once already, and made the acquaintance of the' people in every section. ' Mr. Gilmer enjoys no such advantage, but has it yet to secure,, bv visiting those por tions of the country wherelie jthinks he can ac complish the most for himself and for the .cause which he upholds. Is not this right ? If Gov. Bragg chooses to accompany hnn. Well and good. No body has any objection.-f-certainly not Mr. Gilmer. The Governor will find that he has got " a hard road to travel." PENNSYLVANIA ENDORSES FILLMORE. The American State Convention of Pennsylva nia met at Harrisburg on the 18th inst. Among ether proceedings, General Small offered resolu tions ratifying the nomination of FSlmore and Donelson; denouncing the Administration for repealing the. compromise of I860 ; condemning the Kansas and Nebraska act, &o. Governor Johnston offered a substitute, approving the ac tion of the delegates who retired from the Phila delphia Convention, and calling a Convention to meet at New York on the 12th of June. ' After debate, the substitute was rejected, and the reso lutions were adopted by a, decided vote ; when the Convention adjourned. 1 Candidates toe the Legislature. Geo. M. White, former loco member, is up for re-elec tion from Bladen County. He is opposed by Wesley Purdie, Esq., American. Ap. Foster and H. B. Elliojtt are the Ameri can candidates for the Commons' from Randoph County. : I Dr. Michael M.

Edward Ev-' ebett has replied to the invitation addressed him from the University, that, Providence per mittine, he will visit it during the ensuing Fall and deliver his great lecture upon the character and services of Washington, i The Rev. Basil Manlt, Jr., Pastor of the Baptist Church in Richmond, Va., is .to deliver the Valedictory sermon before the Graduating Class, -at the next Commencement. .The Rev. Joseph Atkinson, of the Presby terian Church in this City, is to deliver the Ad dress before the Historical Society, on Wednes day of Commencement week. It has previously been announced that the An nual Address before the two Literary Societies will be delivered by M. W. Ransom, Esq.; of Warren. - , THE PADRE VIJIL. General Walker's plenipotentiary, the Padre Vijil, is just now the greatest lion in Washington. Happily for him, it is laid he can't understand a word of English; so h will be saved the annoy ance of hearing and reading all the remarks made about him. : Our higlly conservative neighbor, the Cbmrnereial, objects to- the Padre solely on the ground of his being a padre ; but, as the cor respondent of the Eetning Pott states that Padre Vigil had arrived in Washington with hi ton, his padreship must be something likeJGeneral Pierce's soldiering; net of a kind to do any harm. The worst tiling about the Padre - is -his un lucky name, whi"h will, of course, be the cause of a good many distressing puns; and small wits will be calling him a yigil-ant representative-of Nicaragua, and so on.- I The Padre is represented as ". a rather stout, well-shaven man, whose long-skirted coat, knee breeches, and black hese, and silver shoe-buckles, accord with the priestly functions which he exercises at home. His hair is concealed by a sort of brown and- slouched cap .or cowl ; and, though of a very dark complexion, the President does not consider him a Black Republican." We observe that some". of our co temporaries have attempted to improve upon his name by callings him Virgil ; but , the. orthography of the Padre's name is Vijil. j Constant ArracrioN. -The men must have more Justice done to them in the matter of affec tions. A young German whd came to Ohio seven teen years ago was betrothed- to a fair young girl in his own'countryj but they were too "poor te marry. ; After he had been here a short time, their letters were interrupted, and the girl, becom ing an orphan, married another and had three children, when her husband . died, leaving her destitute, and she went to the parish poor house. Meantime, oar hero, the emigrant, worked hard and kept his faith till he had earned enough to insta y him' in returning 1 to uermany 10 see. . .r ... .... . 1 1..- j a ... rm.. whether his petrotnea was isise or ueau. iuo facts did not change his true heart, and he mar ried her and brought her and her children to his little home in Ohio.

Yesterday, the rays of the sun came down with such power that a body began to feel rathr uncomfortable, especially as the change was sudden, when contrasted with the chilly mornings we have had for sofne ' days past. During the day, the "principal streets were-1 thronged with ! more than our usual number of 1 promenaders. j Summer clothing took the lead. The ladies, bless their souls, (if they have any,) looked o sweet, and the rougher' sex looked, as well as they could. .if..- Sad Accident. -As Mr. Bradshaw, section mas ter on the Central Railroad, and wife, were com ing down the road on a hand car, a day or two since, they met with an obstruc tion, which was placed upon the track, no doubt, with the ten- tion of causing an accident to tne mail tram, which threw their car off, and Mr. Bradshaw had his leg broken, so that amputation is thought necessary., " His wife fortunately escaped, j Novelty. On Wednesday evening last, a meet ing was held by. some of our enterprising youna men, and' a Ihespian Corps organized. It i their intention, (so we are informed,) to get the Town Hall for the display of their varied per formances, which will be composed of JSerio-comico, and Trajico-serio, from Bombastes Furioso to Richard the Third " Macbeth doth murder sleep," &c.

The Judge said tha t in any view of the facts of the case, it would be impossible to convict the prisoner of murder, and he should, therefore, hold him to bail in the sum of 10,000, to appear at the June term of the criminal court and an swer the charge ef manslaughter. Messrs. Jos. Barrett apd Jas. O (Jonner entered bail, and Mr J Herbert was released. . " ; IMPORTANT FROM- KANSAS. ! St. Lours, May 14.; Mrs. - Robinson arrived here to-day. She has published a statement in relation to ber husband's deteutiou af- Lejring ton, in which she denies' he was aware an indict ment had 'been found against him previous to his leaving the Territory. A correspondent of he Democrat, writing on the 7th, says that an indictment for high treason has been found against Keeder, Kobmson, Huberts, Lane and other free State men. The news bad been broneht-to Lawrence by Missounans, that secre t hand-bills were circulating, and that forces were marshalling m the border counties. I he peopie were warned to-be" prepared for defence. Shobtest Passage acboss the Atlantic. The Collins steamer Baltic Biade the shortest passage from Liverpool to this port in. 1854, leaving Liv erpool June :28, at 1 P. M-, and arriving; in this port July 8, at 1 16 A. M. . The passage was made in 9 days, 17 hours, and" 15 minutes, and up to the past month Was the shortest on record. This feat has been surpassed ..by the Cunard steamer Persia on her late voyage. She left here for Liverpool April 2d, at 8 Pi M., and ar rived out April 12. at "8 40 A.
