Recently wo tbokvi'casiiiii to speak
our mind iu reference to the action of
the Trustee of tbo University in elect
In Professor Phillips to a chair
which, (a we inferred trom their sul
sequent notion in sending or allow.
ing him to go abroad after knowledge
to tit hitu for the portion) he was in
competent fill; mid ue did so for a
two fold reasou, to wit; lirst, be
cause w.'. had beeu importuned to
question imMiclv the propriety of eleo
ting men to offices in the institution
" a venr before the office had been
- created and furuMieil with the necea
'aary paraphernalia ; and seo-indty, to
elicit from he trustee, for th public
gratification and tlm T"ri.aizifMe
tion conveyed in the letteYgUeu by
Professor Venablo (which appears in
the Aew and. Observer a few
days ago,) in response to our
strictures and the criticism of other
editors of the North Carolina press,
which up to this time bas been sup
pressed. Being the State's Univer
. sity the people had a right to demand,
or at least desire, that the recent
conduct of the Trustees in establish
ing the precedent referred to be yen
' tilated and explained. There is no
; denying the fact that their action has
cawed much diasaUsfaction through
out the State, and if the editors and
newspaper correspondents of-the
Slate had not criticised the action of
the trustees, or in some way have
stirred them .op to an explanation,
dctrinieui to the interests of the Uni
versity .would have been reuliztd.

that she could servo her' countrymen
no more nobly than to provide a way
whereby they might be returned to

a Scotch crofter, possessing greater
intelligence than his fellows, may be
found who will speak in praise of this
land; but the majority of them have
encountered nothing to encourage
them, but, on the other band, every
privation to which extreme poverty
could subject them. They cannot
enjoy any of the social pleasures of
society in tnis land, and when they
become separated one from another,
their solitude is unbearable, not be
ing familiar with our language nor
our habitr. They squat about in
small, dirty, dilapidated cabins, not
being able to pay rent for comfort
able quarters. It is true they can
labor, but they are not trained la
borers, and their woik is unsatisfac

,-The impression is abroad over the
entire District, that something is in
the wind, and that the retention of
half Bads and half Democrats in
office will secure favor and strength
trom other parties, we all Know ot
the honorable, trusty and responsible
position that Mr. Cox has been fa
vored with. We know of his popu
iar and agreeaote manners, ins ex
perience and aeceptablcncss as a Con
eressman. His influence over and
his acquaintance with the good peo
ple of his D strict 'and the State.
His social qualities , a:,d nobularitr.
and many other : qualifications,- all
tend to endear him and point him
out as the choice of ' the people, for
Congress. Bnt.- Mr. Kditor, things
are cnanging. ; roi removimr .the
Radical office holders in this District,
is simply and certainly ' going to re
sult In. the General's defeat. We
do not want any further or more
satisfactory charges for removimr
Radical than the fact that he has aid
ed, abetted mid served the party, us
ed aud exerted all the influence pos
sible in behalf of tho. Republican
party, t the overthrow:- downfall,
and utter annihilation of the Demo
cracy and if could be, tho enslaving
ofthe white people, by social equality
and negro supremacy; and, in the
face of all this tncy are retained in
office, because no charges are pre'
ferrcd. ' Is it necessary that the peo
ple should assemble 'and swear, that
such and . such a man, is guilty of
arceny, burglary, murder .and de
fault? No- The evidence above
state 1 is sufficient.
I have traveled over a good por
tion of this District, and have beeli
in conversation with the leading
Democrats and Radicals, and what
do I hear. The Radicals wonder
what motive Mr. Cox can have for
retaining the ' Republicans. They
can't understand him. They expect
every day to get marching orders,
but six months haveelnpud and still
they are in active service. They say
that they did not vote for him; and
never did,' but have done everything
Eossible to "ditch" him, as might
ave been expend, and they ' did
notWceed,-Cox ; icwarding them.
