Jt is impossible lor us to say, when oar services maybe required in the capacity in wnicn we now are.- a wwo mny r uo o'iua.. ing, which will try all our patriotism and call forth all oar skill. The peculiar situation of the South ern States "seems .destined to invite enmity, which will demand wisdom and vigilance.

All the instruments1 of fanaticism and bigotry are direct ed airainst our reacev and concert of 'action will be required to counteract theieffect. It behooves you then, as Officers and -Privates, to. shrink from no duty however arduous to be ready for every emer gency, however immediate the call.

You cannot be callous to the aspect of -atlairs in your ownotate rwhce all vou hold dear is concentrated Where the heart first felt the force of those ties which bind it to earth, where youthful remembrances and the more settled attractions of after years, are calling1 for regard and exertion.

Can such things be without sorrow ? Can North-Carolina be satisfied with mediocrity f Shall all her recorded honors be forzotten, and the exploits of her ancient patriots sti mulateno heart to toil and suffer in her behalf ?

In a short time, those who established our institutions and purchased our privileges sat the price of their blood, will have passed wholly ;from amongst us. But few even -now remain. The legacy which they will leave us is too valuable to be neglected, too precious, not to be vigilantly guarded. In those eventful trials which may be in store for our Country .and which elicit all the powers of the Rtoutest hearts, prove yourselves worthy of your an cestors, worthy of the holy cause in which they toiled, and worthy of men who are ready, whether in the Councilor the field,, to da their duty to their Country. And if, in the dispensations of an all-wise Providence, the fairest prospects which ever dawned upon a peoplfe are to be blasted, ana stout hearts and generous bosoiras are to be prostrated by the Arm which they have contributed to nerve, let there be some consolation in tha reflection, that the same spirit of Patriotism and Valomr which guarded the cradle of our liberties, will be found manfully con tending at their grave. FOR THE REGISTER. Messrs. Editors : Allow me to call your attention to the patriotic Speech of Col. McLeod, at the Lenoir Dinner. It is replete with sentiments which ought to bave -a place in every American bosom, and the exercise of which alone can brinir back the administration of the Government to the form and purity, intended bv the Cramers of the Constitution. He exposes with adiWpable felicity the practices and doctrin.es of the "Spoils party,"and their corrupt presses, and holds them up in the most unenviable light imaginable, and the character he has drawn of their favorite (Mr. Van Buren) is true to the life. The Whigs of the Newbern District have reason to be proud of Col. McLeod, as their candidate against their .time-serv ing incumbent, and I cannot but believe that his Speech will turn rnany from the terror of their way" and gain Tor himself an enviable Tame. jAll that is necessary to put iiown Van Burenistn,i the dissent inatipn of sentiments and arguments such as are advanced in the Address of Col.

It is certainly the most! important election ever held in Nortli Carolina, and we, urge we beg we implore our fellow citizens not to hang back from it ' !. Watchman. The last " Oxford Examiner" publishes a letter from a distinguished gentleman in Tennessee to his friend in Granville. We copy the concluding paragraph : " You say that all Judge .White's friends in N.: C. wish to know is that" he should continue firm in his determination not to quit the field" Now, Sir, suffer me to assure you once for all, that there does not exist on this earth any power which can offer a reward, or hold up a terror, sufficient to shake the firmness of that old Roman. He is in the hands of the American people, and there he will continue, just so long, and no longer, as they choose to use his name.: He will be sustained by the Legislature of Tennessee, in a man ner worthy of his own honor and the character-of the State. He will be re-elected to the U. S. Senate without opposition. He will be nominated as a Candidate for the Presidency, by an overwhelming majority, early in the session, which will convene on the 5th of October. This will not look like withdrawing him. His friends here are more and more sanguine of his ultimate success ; and let his fate be what it may, they are resolved to shew themselves worthy of the cause in which they have embarked. It is the cause of constitutional li berty f-it is the cause of the people against the llal-' timorp Convention. But Sir, I" have not time to say morei The White fla is nailed to the mast, and must be torn down by tlie enemy if it is destined to fall." In order that our readers may see how anxiously the Van Buren papers abroad are laboring to misrepresent the true sit uation of things in Tennessee, we clip the following paragraph from the North Carolina Standard, one of the most faith ful followers, and closest imitators of the Globe. Tennesseei Although Col. Caniion, the Whig candidate, has succeeded over Gov. Carroll, thq Van Buren candidate for Governor of Tennessee, yet the cause of thedemocratic candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, is making such rapid advances in that State, that we should not be surprised weie her Electoral vote to be given ,W Mr.' Van Buren and Col. Johnson in 1836. The eause of. -t lie' nominees of the Bal timore Convention making rapid strides in Tennessee ! Where is the evidence of it? We shouldjike to be pointed to it. Is it in the election of 85or 90 out of 100 members ot me Legislature ? Is it in the- election of Col. Cannon, a White man, as Governor, over one of the most popular men we have ever had, who is an adhe rent of Mr. Van fturen ! Where, again we ask, is the evidence of the. truth o2he assertion! made by, the Standard ? ' mmi i ci i u w Lni.cn may uave nu uiea, fro lii the aoove extract, now much the ept from the people by the Van truth is k Buren organs. They , are loth to admit that Judge White will get the vote Vven of Tennessee? and they hope by jnigiep resenting hi strength at Jome to stay the tide of liis populaiitv. ljut the tnnh win out-7-uieir exertions will all fail They may jeer, and boast, and flout as much as they, will; the people are arnus ingjthemselyes, and, by 1836, Jude White wijll have made such rapid ad vartces,,, that we should not be at all "slrprisepVViit a :f large maioritv of th "electoral votes" of the whole Union should be given for him.
