While other topics are being discussed, the fact that Mr Fillmore is a sworn know nothing must not be forgotton. The know nothing press, no doubt, would willingly ignore this truth if it could, but there are considerations in connection with the sub- i ject which demands the reflection of the ' American people, and it is therefore ueces j sary to recur to "first principles." That Mr l illmore was regularly initiated into repealed, we again recur to the matter j had before; but we can see very plainly proceedings of the Faculty of the Uuiver j the "Order" we have the testimony of Mr ;' for the purpose of reminding fault-finders j that it is evasive and rounds the point with- ity in relation to the black republican G.

The Pope of Rome ; nd Catholic Priests are accused of grant ing absolution to their followers, and the only help Mr Fillmore could get would be to join the Catholics and procure from the Pope or Arch-Bishop Hughes a pardon for binding himself with a know-nothing obligation.

To tell the South that she is represented by men who are put in offiV.' only because they are against her, is adding insult to injury. It is equivalent to notifying her that nulcss she will adopt renegades as her representatives, she shall have none.

The discussion of the Missouri Compro mise is almost a threadbare subject, but as the greater portion of the opposition party m mis mate nave proclaimed that the re- ! be Mr F's organ,) for the purpose of prov peal of that measure was wrong and un- , ing that he occupies the proper ground in called tor, and as some mouthy individuals delight in charging all the agitation to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, by which the said compromise was legally : chance for it to benefit the South. Ou 1 tin inti, nt a iau r., i.;n -o Ai-f., iui: uiriiMn uni was under consideration in the Senate j and the question was taken on extending j the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific i ....,. t I "uti, cm; avwtmvm, cept seven, voted against it, and every j opposed to agitating this matter, charges Southern Senator, except one, voted fur it. that the repeal was an act of folly. Mr In the House, every northern man, except , Fillmore himself says that the repeal "was four, voted against extending the line, j the Pandora's box from which has issued while every Southerner, except one. voted ! all our present evils." That is a strange, for doing so. A majority in the Senate way to talk in order to alllay agitation, was in favor of extension, but the House j We are not ready to acknowledge, and refused to concur, and the Senate had to wo think every southern man should be un reoede. What do those persons, who pre- i willing to do so, that the repeal of the Mis tend to say that the slavery question was ! souri Compromise was " an act of follv." settled oy tins compromise, think ot it now. In the instance cited, the north certainly manifested a disposition to reject the settlement, which it succeeded in doing. How can southern men say that the present agitation is owing to the repeal f that odious restriction, and continue to abuse a democratic administration, when it is . i ,i . -. . i i plain that agitation was rite long before O the repeal. Northern men agitated while the compromise was in existence, and would do so now if it had never been re pealed. We do wish our opponents would be consisted in this matter. But our know-nothing friends are rather too fust in blaming the democratic party with repeal, for the thing was virtually accomplished during Mr Fillmore's admin istration by the passage of the Compromise measures of 1850. The acts for the organi- xation of the territories of New Mexico and Utah, approved on the 9th Sept., 1850, provides that when said territories are ad mitted as States, they "shall be received into the Union with or without slaverv as their Constitutions may prescribe at the time of their admission." A portion of New Mexico lies north of oG. 30 (the Mis souri Compromise line) and the whole of Utah lies north of that Hue. So we see that the legislation of 1850 superseded that of lH'JO, which superccdure Mr Fillmore cratic party censure for the present ex citement in the country by the passage of the Nebraska bill.

I am no alarmist. I am not here to pro claim danger. My hope and faith in the Constitution and in the permanence of the institutions which it upholds is strong, but with a knowledge of the weakness of poor human nature, and with the liht of history c.it upon our path. 1 certainly need not warn you that the loss of the great blessing which you now enjoy is not impossible." The President speaks to the people of the North as every national man ought to speak to them, lie tloes not say the Union cannot and shall not be dissolved, but he j snvs there is danzer of it, and cautions his ! fellow citizens against entertaining fanati cal sentiments.

Tremendous proposition, coming as it docs from a for eign paper ! Interesting item to know-nothing readers ! The enemies of Mr Buchanan need not give themselves any uneasiness on this point. He will not be withdrawn and no sane man would even suppose such a thing. There is no cause to suggest his withdraw al. His chances of success are certain ly better than either of the other candi dates, and we have no doubt of his elec tion, The subject of Mr Fillmore's withdrawal has been heretofore discussed, but we are decidedly opposed to his withdrawing from the contest, for the most of his supporters at the North would go to Fremont and perhaps thus defeat Buchanan. No, let them both stay in the field we have no fear as to the result. I t' We have received a copy of the pro ceedings of the Stockholders in the West ern N. C. Railroad Company.

We stated last vr-ek that Prof. Hedrick of the University of this State, had declared for Fremont and against slavery. We learn from the Standard of the 11th, that on the receipt of the paper at the College ! containing the Professor's letter, he was burnt in effigy by the students and the bell j tolled until the effigy was consumed. j We copy froin tbe Standard the following University of North-Carolina, Chapel Hill, Oct.

Very few remarks, he said, will suffice in relation to the present sub ject. In an institution sustained like this, bv all denominations and parties, nothing should be permitted to be done, calculated to dis- ! tnrb the harmonious intercourse of those who support and those who direct and gov ern it. And this is well known to hare been our policy and practice, during a long series of years. Mr Hedrick's testimony that "as student and Professor " ho has known "no institution, North or South, troui which partisan politics and sectarian j religion arc so c irefully excluded," will be received with perfect credence by our gra duates, and by all familiar with tiie state of things among us. To secure an end so essential to the repu tation, prosperity, and usefulness of the The sermons, delivered on the Sabbath, in the College chapel, have been confined to an exhibition of the leading doctrines of Christianity, with respect to which no dif ference of opinion exists among us; and no student, during the hist twenty years, has been permitted to discuss upon the public stage any question of party politics. This course upon the pur of all, has been regard ed as not merely necessary to internal har mony and quiet in unison with kind feeling and good taste, but as due to numbers of persons of different tenets and opinions, who honor us by their attendance upou our public exercises, and have a light to res pectful consideration. Un motion of Dr. Mitchell, seconded bv Prof. Fetter, the President's communica tion was referred to a committee, consisting of Dr. Mitchell, Dr. Phillips, and Prof. Hubbard ; who reported the following re solutions : Resolved, That the course pursued by Prof. Hedrick, as set forth in his publica tion in the North-Carolina Standard of the 4th inst., is not warranted by our usages ; and that the political opinions expressed, are not those entertained by any other member of this body. Resolved, That while we feel bound to declare our sentiments freely upon this occasion, we entertain none other than feel ings of personal respect and kindness for the subject of them : and sincerely regret the indiscretion into which he seems, in this instance, to have fallen. After a brief discussion, the resolutions were adopted by the following vote : Aiea Messrs. Mitchell, Phillips. Fetter, Hub bard, Wheat, Shipp, C. Phillips, Brown. Pool, Lucas, Battle, and Wetmore. Nay Mr Herrisse, who said that he voted in the negative, " simply on the ground that the Faculty is neither charged with black i Republicanism, nor likely to be suspected ! of it On motion of Di Wheat, seconded bv l'rot. nttinn. mo r-ecretarv- was itirecten to i , ' Z iraiiMUU u oi mu ioicouij juim cru- ings of the Faculty to the Trustees of the S University. From a communication in the Standard signed "One of the Trustees," we also ' copy the following. Speaking of Mr Hed i rick's letter, the writer says : '-These sentiments, avowed by one of the Professors, will sink the institution now grown to o;iaiit size, and still increasing unless the Trustees forthwith expel that traitor to all Southern interests from the sea now so unworthily fills. He should he ordered away as a foul stain upon the escutcheon oi the I iiiverstty, to show to the ' .... country that the institution a a sanctuary from such vile pollutions. It is the business ot the Executive Committee to act in this ease, and to act promptly; and from the hih character of the gentlemen who com pose it. a good result may be expected. If this man must prat tie treason, let him do it inenectualiv, not m t!ie ajrent of the Trustee as he now is."' Hedrick is Professor of Agricultural Chemistry. . . Election & Riot in Baltimore.
