A wrrter who. wielded a Tigorous pen,-in his meditations on the prospect of death, makes the following beautiful remark : A dispute has long exUterJ between my mortal frame and death, and though I have long maintained Ui0 struggle with a life sub ject to disease and pain, I must, at last, yield to the universal conqueror and be borne to the house appointed for all living. To the man who h prepared to, die, the prospect of death has no terrors neither does it create sadness of heart, nor does it alarm the soul; he knows he has to die, and, with Job, he knows his Redeemer lives, and when the hour arrives which separates his soul from fts associate, the body, he enters undismayed in the dark and lonely valley which is the gateway into the abodes of light and life. A momentary gloom may. indeed hang upon his brow, as nature is sinking;. she may struggle in the last pangs, but as life and the world recede, the disclosing glories will scatter every gloom, and the hitherto unknown realities of the upper world are exhibited to his view. , His diseased body may toss- and tumble on his death-bed, but his hope is fixed with in the veil. Weeping and lamentation may attend his lifeless body, to its dreary mansion, but his departed soul shall wing her flight above to join the everlasting song of praise to God and to the Lamb to God for providing a a ransom, and to the Lamb for shedding his blood to redeem him. . Christ will be to him a shield and lamp in the night of death; hence dissolution itself, though it be terror and darkness to evil-doers, is joy and peace to all whom God has adopted as sonsu The prospect of death must excite feelings of anxious care in every mind,when dwelling on the future's reality. The thought itself, apart from the certainty, should arouse every son and daughter of Adam to repentance and faith. 1 he loud and repeated calls from the sacred Oracles, the Pmpxt and the grave, speak a language forcible and intelligible, and un less those calls are. penitentially answered, and the language properly understood, a des tiny, fearful and awful in its consequences, awaits all who will not answer nor under stand. There is no subject coming, within the range of the human mind, less thought of, and reflected upon than death, and yet it is, indubitably, the roost important. It em braces within its illimitable grasp every thing valuable in both worlds. Its medita tions reach the summit of celestial enjoy ments, where the righteous sit in peace and quietness, or descend to the dark caverns of the damned who lie among ghosts and fiends rand whose companion is the undy ing worm. To him, who has spent his life in God's service, death appears as a friend and not, as many apprenenu, an enemy, uoctor Goodman is said to have exclaimed in his last moments" Ah ! is this ..dying ?" How have I dreaded as an enemy this smiling friend ? And doubtless Whitfield, Wesley, Benson and Clark, with a long catalogue of .others which might be desig nated, met death as pious Goodman did, and left the world in triumph. On the other hand, the wicked dread the prospect of death, and his approach is ac companied with indescribable horrors. The gnawings pi a guilty conscience harrow up their souls, and remind them of the doom which awaits them. They begin to pray, and implore the prayers of others, but alas ! it is too late. : Neither their own, nor the prayers of their friends, can avail any thing; they die in their sins a3d to hell they sink to be tormented m the uhextinguisha- ble flame. Man was created to be happy, but in consequence of his sinful nature, he has preferred darkness to right.the pleasures of earth to the. joys of heaven, and by his rebellious course, declares that the worm wood and the gall are more palatable to his polluted taste than the water of life, which flows in gentle streams from God1! holy and unfathomable fountain. - J5UMMERFIELD. - For tke Register.

A large and respectable meeting assem bled at Round Hill on the 18th inst. to con sider of the propriety of appointing Dele gates to the Convention to be held at Hilis horo on the 31st iiist. On motion, Wm. Harris whs called to the Chair, and Wm. D. Parker was appointed Secretary. The Chairman having announ ced the meeting as organized and ready to proceed to. business, E. G. Mangum rose and addressed the meeting, explaining the nature andimportanceofthe objects in vie w: whereupon it was unanimously determined to appoint delegates to said Convention. On motion of E.G.Mangum, itwas voted that the Chairman should appoint a com mittee of three persons, to report whatever they may deem fit for the action of this meeting. The Chair announced E. G, Man gum, John Duke and Benjamin Hester as the Committee; Who, having retired, after wards reported the following Preamble and Resolutions; which, after filling the blank with the names of the delegates, and mak ing other amendments, were unanimously auojueu in me iouowing lorm, viz : "Whebbas, it is a high and unalienable it is a high and unalienable right of 1 i. . . 1 . i freemen to assemble and consult together touching public matters; which sacred and inestimable right has been guaranteed to us by our bill of rights of blessed revolutionary memory and whereas, in our opinion, the condition of public affairs admonishes the-great mass of the people of ibe necessity of in creased vigilance and activity in detecting the abu ses and maladministration of the government, and applying the necessary corrective; and whereas, we" believe we have reached a ciisis that menaces the integrity of the Constitution, and involves the deep est and weightiest interests of the States and the peo ple, fur good or for evil: That the period has arri ved when the great question must be decided,wbeth er the opinions and policy of oar rulers, or the o pinions and policy of the people, shall prevail: That the cub-Treasury and other financial measures of the President and his followers are made the great questions of the Administration, though three times rejected by the people, and "the people representa tives so that the real and true issue to be' tried, is, whether the President, his office holders and hopers for office, and adherents, shall prove too strong for the States and the people. To a free people, we have the strongest confidence, that it is only neces sary to state the question, to have it decided that they will rebuke with the strongest vengeance, those presumptuous rulers, who would set themselves up as ibe masters of the people. And whereas our late Representative in Congress, the Hon Wm, Montgomery ' (who again offers to represent us) is a steadfast adherent of those in power, and of course a supporter of their measures and policy generally and whereas we believe those measures are profoundly hostile to the liberty and best interests of the States and the people; therefore we desire a change in our representation, and will consult with the Whigs of the District and endea vour to fix Upon some sound Republican Whig as an opponent to the late members to whose re-election we are opposed 'for divers reasons, too nume rous to be comprehended, or even glanced at, in' a succinct compend suitable to an occasion like this -but especially, 1st Because of his unscrupulous support of an Administration which has increased die expendi tures of the General Government from thirteen mil lions to nearly forty millions of dollars a year, in a season of profound peace with foreign nations ; while he, the said member, professes to the people to be a disciple of the old Republican school of cheap government and economical expenditure. We are republicans, and approve his professions' in this res pect, but . pointedly condemn his practice. ; 2d. Because he ardently supports an Administra tion whose open and avowed policy is, to lessen the price of the public lands, to grant them in preemp tion titles to squatters, and ultimately to surrender them to the States respectively in which they lie; by which the old States (and North Carolina among them, as one of the old thirteen,) will be deprived of their respective shares of more than eight hun dred millions of acres of public lands. All this the said member does, or did, while lie pretends to be the greatest stickler in the district for our rights in said lands. So much for profession and so much for practice. 3d Because we nave seen no instanceof his firm ness to resist any- measure of the President, or any member of his cabinet, that came, recommended to Congress so as to show the Administration bad it much at heart. Hence we think, we may fairly au gur, that no such instance of firmness would be shown in the future. We, as republicans, desire our member to represent us, the people, and not to look to any partisan of the Administration as his fugleman, as to represent those in power rather than us. r . 4th. Because we think we observe a culpable want of firmness, in yielding both his speech and vote to the wishes of Amos Kendall, the Postmas ter General by conferring' on him the money bags of the people, containing heavy sums, to be used at his discretion, free from regulation and restriction of law a doctrine, and practice better suited to des potic and kingly governments; than to oot.free in stitutions, where the ruler bughi to feel. himself the servant, and not the roaster of the people. ; We do not remember to have seen any speech of the late member on the side of the Slates or the people, as contradistinguished from the party interests of those in power, i We desire above all things, that .our member shall be independent of all influence, ex cept the influence of his constituents, and his con scientious sense of duty. - 5th. Because we severely condemn the Atherton caacue, and the course of our late member in going into that caucus whereby he compromhted, as far . as he could, the great peculiar interest of the South. To go into eaucus with New Englanders and others, (and for party purposes as we believe,) who have no common interest' with us, to settle questions af fecting this great and vital interest of the South ! to go into caucus," on thfe subject,Hti& men . who' habitually stfeandlwff and slave driveftor.denounce the institution as against sound morality ndnlie' law of God ! to go Into caucus on itia subject, ana wun ine open enemies pt.tne Institution, is to jeopard 'this vital interest, and to put thetamb in the clutches uf the wolf for safe keeping. We had as well go i lhtb caucus upon the. Constitution, to determine whether we will live un der Wor prefer living under an Irresponsible set of office noiaers: uur representative was: a memoer of that caucus or cabal, while be professes to abhor I abolition. So much again for profession; and so jtn'och for practice. We as Southern men and Re- puWiciftM, irotest against going into caucus on thia usts. Anu our late member, bv seeking from a tuir ty caucus a safe-guard, which the constitution al ready gives us, seems to Consider the- Constitution as nothing, adTa party caucus as every thing. 6th. We oppose the re-election of the late mem ber, because be perseveres in tha simnort of the sub- Treasury, though so decidedly rejected by Congress ; and the people, and large majority of the States i of this Unie. This may be republicanism; tint we, however, can see but little difference between an j absolute monarchy, and a government (whatever its j name) thar will not yield to the voice and . votes of its consutuenta so repeatedly addressed roitJ Tbero is scarobly an instance in the history of Eng land for more than . a centw'y, in which the King has not been compelled to yield to a fixed majority of Parliament. Has it come to this, in the very infancy of our Republic that the Presi dent will obstinately perseve in an a tlempt to ac complish against the voicaof the people so often ex pres.seV what none of th Kings of England for acen tury, backed by his nobility and all their patronage, haveefiected in that country when ib&fuithfuTCom n,onsy the servants of the people," had taken their stand, and that Doctor Montgomery backs the Pres ident in it, ami he, the Doctor, expects us as free men, to back him, even against ourselves 1 W cannot support the Doctor in his attempt to force ou the country this odious measure against the public will, by which the sword and the purse will be united in tke hands of the President and his underlings by whieh two currencies will be ere- .atcd, the gold and silver for the government and i . 1 rr i . . me ornce uoiuers, and bak paper (which in that case must be undei par) for the people, by which : the government wilt exact from the people every year, thirty mill oa of dollars" or upwards in gold and silver, refusing to receive a dollar in Bank notes,' which the people are- obliged to use. We think that money which is good enough for the people, ought to be good enough for the govern- j meat and itt vffice-koidera. The people, by the : theory of our government, are the creators and the masters of the government. We think, what is good enough for master, is good enongh for man." Here he 'man' surrenders the' empty theory to the master,' while he takes all the benefit of the practice. He pockets the gold and silver, while ihe master is fobbed off" with bank rags ! A happy scheme for office holders, and members of Congress, by which their pay will be worth ten or twenty per cent ! more than it now is I They, must be fed upon corn out of the public crib, while shucks are good enough for the credulous and abus ed people. We may be credulous, but we knyw a hawk from a hand-saw," and cannot back you, Doctor, in this new scheme, uknnown heretofore in our country, A scheme to make Presidents, in crease fearfully Federal power arid patronage, ahd to convert sub-Treasurers into leg-Treasurers, to run off, as have Swartwout, Price, and others, wifh millions of the public money. 7th. Berause in. the late member's whole course, we think wo have seen more of the parlUan, than of the statesman. That his eloquence and ingenuity are wholly exhausted on the side of power, and in making apologies and excuses for maladministra tion, and abuses of power. That we have witness ed no tufty, manly and indignant denunciations of the frauds, speculations, and stupendous abuses that have bankrupted the government; and in a time of profound peace, with a revenue of thirty millions a year, have driven it into the market, to be shaved as a borrower, or to issue paper of its own, by which the people areha veil. Jtesoletd theiefore. that. this meeting appoint the following persons, 10 wit James G. Laws, Johu S. Robert, John Hopkins. E. G. Mangum. and V illie R. Mangum, as delegates to the Whig Convention, to be held in Hillsboro on the 31st inst., to fix upon some ' Republican Whig, as an opponent to the late .member of the House of Re presentatives of the "Tjmted States, from this district. Retohed, That this meeting entertain, and will adhere to, "through good and through evil seport," the good old Republican creed of 1798 '99 Resolved, In the opinion pf this meeting, that the present Administration has departed from the cheap simplicity and purity of gcuuine ancient re publicanism, and that the government is adminis tered more for the benefit of the few, than of the m n y, and needs a thorough reform. Resolved, That our delegates be requested to bear in mind the Preamble a tad Resolutions adopt ed by this meeting', as a fair exposition (as far as they go,) of our principles. - ... .

On niotioh of Solomon Allen, Mr. Peter . Foust . was called to preside, and Jolm R. Ho!t, Esq. appointed Secretary.

Brown am! Strange, our 8enatora ia Congress. Resolved further, ;rbat,entertaining these sen timents, we will use every honest endeavor: to pro mote the election of any. respectable Whig candi date that may come out in opposition toDr. Mont gomery.

United States, which, with his growing patronage, -is brought to bear Upon the freedom "of elections giVes to every honest fciend of bis country just tea son to fear the loss of our inimitable constitution. and with it out liberty ; therefore, ' Resolved, That the Resolutions nassed bv our General Assembly at its laQs sesWoK,nown as the Rayper Resolutions, expressive of thewishes of the people ot XMortn uaiouna on various questions which are agitating the country, ate, in the opinion of thismceting, strictly republican; and meet is ap probation. Resolved, That we disapprove of the sub-Treas ry system, as a dangerous experiment on tKe cur. reney of the country ; as a scheme. Wrong in fheoiir -and dangerous in practice and, if estabfiahed, would present the anomaly of two distinct curing cies established by law in a republican government " the letter currency" for the government, tnd any sort for the people.
