RALEIGH, SATURDAY. DEC. %@, lsoo'
X. \. NATIONALITY.

The Raleigh Register has taken ground in favor
Of the election of Mr. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, as
Sneaker of the House, and claims that he is ma
tonal man on the slavery question. That paper
gives the following 1roef that its candidate is
sound
.Mr Fuller, on whom the whole strength of the
Southern Americans is now centred, holds perhaps,
the most truly national position of any candidate
that has been named He opposed the Nebraska
bill on national considerations, and was elected to
Congress as opponent of sectional agltatlon-and,
coming from a free State his election would be re-
ccivet by the whole national party at the north as
an evidence that the South does not insist on sup
port of tie Nebraska bill test of nationality.
Mr. Fuller, according to the Register, is nation
al man, because he insisted that the South should
remain under the ban of unconstitutional enact
ment, by which they excluded from one-haf
of the common territories. The people of the South
did not desire the privilege of emgrating to Kansas
with their saves-Mr Fuller knep this, and hence
opposed the repeal of the Missouri restriction " on
national considerations" Such is the reasoning of
the X. \. organ!
We tell the Register, and we say to the North,
that the South DOES "insist support Of the Ne
Jrdxka btl1 as test Of aatienHlits" No doubt the
REGISTER and its da! klantern confederates would be
glad to AVOID TINS teSt OUT IL HIS Oeeh es'ao"iSo
by the national Democracy, and the K. Ms will be
held rigidy to it.
The Register it will be observed, insists that Mr.
Fuller is sound the question of slavery. Now,
it is well known that Mr. Fuller is the ardent politi
cal friend of Gov. Johnston, of Pa, who is quite as
far gone in abolitions1n as William II. Seward is;
and it is also understood that Mr.. Fuller par
ty to the late combination of the Black Republicans
and Know Nothings of Pennsylvania against the
Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner-the
object of that combination being, as declared in
their published address, to limit slavery, and to
rebuke the Nebraska .tiaud and this proslarery
administration" Can the Register deny these facts?
Again: The Register commends Mr.. Fuller as ''a
consistent old-line Henry Clay Whig." Why, what
has the Register to do with " "old-line Henry Clay
Whigs?" Is not this paper X. n. organ? Has
it not repudated the Henry Clay Whigs?-pro-
nounced them halt, and corrupt, crippled, and dead
Or is it true that Know Nothingism is Whiggery in
disguise? If so, who declared falsely time and
again, that it was and is not? Why, the Register.
But if not Whggery in disguise-if a new party,
we repeat the question, what has the Register to
do, as a K n organ, with the old line Henry Clay
Whigs?"

REooGsIrIoN.-On last Sabbath morning Rev. 7.
E. Skinner publicly recognized Pastor of the
Baptist Church in this City. DR.. S. Wait of Oxford,
and Prof Brooks of w. F. College, were present on
the occasion. The exercises, which were we'll at
tended and listened to with deep interest were as
follows:
Sermon by DR.. Wait, founded on Cor 8: 5,
''Who also hath made us able ministers of the New
Testament" &c.
The leading object of the speaker was to point
out and illustrate those qualifications which
necessary to constitute able and efficient minis
ter of the Gospel of Christ. The points insisted on
were important and impressively presented. At
the close of the sermon some remarks were address
ed by the Editor of this paper to the Church and
congregation the nature of the relation between
Pastor and the people of his charge, and the obi
cations on the part of the latter, growing out of
this relationship. This followed by short but
very appropriate address to the Pastor elect by Prof
Brooks, after which the exercises were closed by
singing Doxology by the Choir and congregation.
1t is to gratifying fact that our brother who
is native of N. Carolina, and has enjoyed fine ad-
vantages of on educational character has, in the
Providence of God been vited to return to and la.
Dor in his native State, and at point important
as this Although without experience in the Pas
toral office doubt not his zeal and energy will soon
endear him to the people of his charge, and to his
brethren generally in the Sate.
