The trustees of thia institution most re.
. spectfully and earnestly urge the propriety,
the necestityat prompt payments of the tui
tion fees for the session which closes to,
, day." Ileavy expenses have been incurred
. during the present summer by the princi.,
pal, which render it important that moneys
due for. tuition be promptly pnjd In. It is
hoped that this suggestion will be sufficient.
THE P.ESIDEXCI.
" ;Tho VVhrgs seem to be still chuckling
with joy over what they regard as pros
pects of a division in the democratic ranks
in 1844, by which they may succeed in
electing a President.. If on this depends
their only hope of success, (and on this
alone it does depend,) they are doomed to
disappointment. . The Democrats will have .
but one candidate for President, and him
"they will elect.1' Mecklenburg Jefferso.

From present appearances.it would seem
that there Will be a most wonderful cxhibi.
tion of unity and the cohesive. powor,of
brotherly feeling among the Locofocos' in
"general, aa to who shall be their leader in
She coming contest for President. The
Democracy of every section of, the Union
have their preference, which they are loath
to" fcive up. And the way they enter into
oneanother's democratic affections, with
hearty good will, is a caution to the lov
jbts of 'I British gold," " coon skins," and
haraxider." The way their paper bul.

The Whig party fear no disappointment.
Their hopes of success are not founded; on
the prospect of a division in the Democratic
ranks. If the Democrats unite pn one man
tho Wiigs haye nothing to' fear. " With
Henry Clay for the leader', they, must and
will triumph. And upon him they have
united toamaa .The shout for Clay is
raised in the valleys of the west, and rever

newaccessions constantly adding to their
strength in almost every section of the
Union. As well might ye tell us that the
Mississippi is to flow backwards, or that the
mountains and hills of , our country are to

Whig party to be defeated ! Just as they
were in 76 and '40. ThejVVhig party t

so long as the principles which animated
the heroes' of the revolution, can find a re.

it be John C. Calhoun f Hi is a nul lifter,

He as Mr. Van Buren end Mr. Buchanan

In 1816 John C. Calhoun said that "a
tariff for protection was odvital importance
to the security and permanent prosperity
of the Union." More than that, he said
" it would preserve us from a new and ter
