The subscril)er W'ill never allow any clas.s
to be insulated from himself. lie holds
the prerogative of calling- for the recita

whenever ho thiid;s proper. His aim is
to pervade the establishment, directly and

Hiid his system of education ; not to press
il with the lcad weight of an incubus.
His assistants shall always desei-ve the
public trust, by their talents, learning,
assiduity, and good clVaracter, as the pre
sent assistants do. Mr. Mofi'at was
educated partly at this Academy, and
knows its mode of education well. He
has taugiit in this vState w'ith success, and
is now placeil here with general ap])roba-
tion. Mr. Caiu.y was lately a Teachcf
in the Raleigh .Academy, and holds tes
timonials of a llaiterifig nature from va
rious per.so.'ts in N. C. to whom he was
known as a Teacher. Mr. Mulfat and
.Mr. Carey are both capable of teaching
the Lalin and (ireek L-atiguages, and sev
eral of the Sciences ; and tlici. Dejjiirt-
ments are sk'-lchcd accoid.ng to their
|j.iiticular exceljcncies. If a vacancy
should, at any time, take place in the De
partments wiiich tiiese gentlemen fill, the
united efToris of the I’rustees and the
subset ilier will be directed to such a
choice, as wiil fill iheir places fully to the
satislariioii oi' the public. As the sub-
scril)er has allowed no intersection of rm-
nt/icr sphere of usefulness, with that of a
I'eaeher of this Academy, and in so do
ing h.is succeeded in rearing it up to its
preseni size, he. will indulge ihc hope,
that the same cuncciitration of eflbrts,
for the future, wiil continue its grow th,
and base it immovably in the cheerful,
steady patronage of an enlightened pub

COMMON I.AW.
Two objei lions may be made to the
common ly >v as a system ol jurisprudence,
*vliich ar-; jilausihle, and deserve to be
considered. It may be said that its prin
ciples ate vague and iincei luin, and that
it gives the judges, in efi'ect, the power
of legislation. To the lii st it may be re
plied, as we have said above, that the
greater mim!)er of contested questions re
gard the application of a principle, and
not the piinciple itself. iUit much of the
uticertainly of law arises from the nai row
limits ol our knowlerlge, and from 'he
unfavorable imperfection and arriljiguity
of language. In tiie iniinite variei> of
human actions, no legislator can for.-see
or provide againt particular cases, and
oven classes, which aie continually aris
ing. He can only establish general prin
ciples ; and w e are not certain, that a gcn-
ei al principle can be laid down in terms
more accurately than it can be collected
Iroin a series of judged cases* The En
glish Statute of Frauds, reputed to be
the joint production of Sir MiKthew Hale,
Sir I rancis North, and Sir Lton'ine
Jenkins,and which has been reenacted in
nearly ihe same words by almo.si every
legislature in the Cnion, is a memorable
instance ol Uie imperfection of language.
L(jrd Xoltingham used to say of it, that
every litie was w(nth a subsidy; and the
profession and the public have generally
ac(]uiesce(l in the ojiinion of Lord Ken
yon, tliat ‘it is the wisest law in our
statue book;’yet it has, without doubt,
occasioned as many lawsuits^ as there
are words in it, and it may probaiily oc
casion as many more.—A’. A. licview.
