REGISTER. Raleigh, Dec. 25. * We publish bcloiv^.the proceedings-' of t-he •Convention which assembled in this city, on Thursday last, for the purpose of . training an Electoral Ticket in favor of Mr. Adams. Six moftths since the friends of General Jackson would have “laughed to scorn” the Idea, that such a ticket could be formed. But now it is accomplished aud in a manner which presents cause of gralulation to-the friends of the Adminis tration throughout the Union. Twenty seven days only intervened from the an- --mmciation of the meeting in Carteret, which proposed this Convention, to its consummation, and yet, such is the ener getic state of feeling iu the community on this subject, that thirteen out o four fif teen Eiec*orial districts, were represented in it,' aruf By individuals respectable both on account of their talents and the services rendered by,a number of them to their country. We confidently believe, that had tho meeting been delayed a month longef, nearly every county in the state would have been represented. It was howqver a.powerful expression of public feeling, and when, we reflect, that ncariv twelve months ;ue left to the friends of Mr. Adams to operate, and that all they wish is aditTis'.on of light, our anticipations are most sanguine. It wilkbe seen, from the annexed pro ceedings, that the deliberations of the •'V/Ouvention were characterized bv great fir mness, dignity and moderation. As to the ticket presented to the people, bv the Convention, it is unnecessary for us to say any Grog. It speaks for itself, ft has been formed openly and above board. It is the work of no secret caJiel—no ar istocratic attempt to forestal tlia^ppinion of the free men of the State, but is the re sult of a concentration of sentiment, effect ed by individuals delegated for the purpose. - As such we send it forth, entertaining no doubt that it will receive a cordial recep tion. same candidate for the Presidency, of conferring together for the purpose of se lecting the agents who are to give expres sion and effect to their wishes. Such an intei change of sentiments may be made di rectly or indirectly—publicly or Secretly. But a proper object, is always best effect ed by direct and open means. 1 his very important election approach es, and no American, who fdels as an A- merican ought to feel, who is aware how much the honour; the freedom, the peace and the happiness of his country may be affected by the personal character and qualifications of the person to be appoint ed President, can feel an iu difference to the issue. Asa freeman who knows and values his rights^'he is bound to make a choice, and that choice lie should assert with firmness. It is well known that the members of this Convention have made their selection. This is not the moment for declaring the reasons of our prefer ence. When the time shall arrive, none of us can hesitate in avow ing them to our fellow-citizens, and I trust that this avow - j subject which make one tremble, but ev- al will be so made, that while it justifies | er >’ seems |o indicate that file'last our choice and may cariy conviciion to j [ Klirr °f 'bo Egyptian tiger lias arrived,— the miuds of others, it will manifest a pro- [ ^ English, French Sc Russian flags'fioa- per respect to the opinions of those who j (!

Letters of the 25.tilt, from Zante an nounces that Ibrahim "Pacha, upon beiffg informed of the memorable action at Na- xarino, fell back upon Curon, and put to the sword all the Greek prisoners, men women and children, whom he had held in captivity fifteen months. “According to custom, says these leiters, “ the monks and priests were crucified, or burnt at a slow, fire.

It lasted six days ; and at the close of the; poll in each of tlie five first days there was a lie between the candidates, Messrs. Robinson and Porter. The lat ter candidate succeded at the sixth day, by a majority of 15. The voles then stood for Porter 1780,for Rirbinsou 1765.— l he Liverpool Albion speaks of many disgraceful scenes as occurring during the contest. “Bribery was opeulv reduced to a system.
