THIS Institution will commence its First Session on the Sth of July, under the care of Mr John C. McNair, as Principal. As to the qualifications of this gentleman, we deem it sufficient to say, that he graduated at Chapel Hill with distinction, and that subse quently he has evinced an aptness to teach, in an experience in that department in the Cumber land Academy, at Summerville, during the lust twelve months. A distinguished Scholar, a Practical Teacher, a Southerner by birth, education and sentiment, we tender his services to the public, not doubt ing that they will be duly appreciated. The price, per Session of five months, will be, For Elementary Studies, $6 00 " higher English Branches, 9 00 Greek, Latin, and French Languages, with the higher branches of Mathe matics, 12 00 The Academy is a new, commodious, and hand some building, situated on a beautiful rising ground, near the Stage road leading from Fayette ville to Lumberton, and nearly equi-distant from each place, and in the immediate vicinity of the large and elegant Presbyterian Church recently erected there. The neighborhood is one of the healthiest in the State ; the people moral and religious; and among them good Board, to any extent desired, can be had for five or six dollars per month. There is a Post Office near the Academy. It is intended, at as early a period as possible, to sup ply the pupils in this institution w ith those phy sical aids so essential to the study of natural sciences' a Chemical and Philosophical Appara tus. And, in short, if duly patronised, we in tend, by the blessing of a benign Providence, to make it one of the first institutions of its kind in theStato. To the friends of education, and especially to those in the lower Counties of this State, we look for "aid and comfort" in this important enter prise ; and respectfully solicit, at their hands, and of the public generally, a favorable consideration of our claims.

We deem it advisable to republish at this juncture, the following article from the Caroli nian of 1S4S : HON DAVID S- RKID. the demo cratic candidate for Governor of North Carolina, is, as his political opponents readily admit, a " worthy man''; he is a democrat from principle; and by nature he entertains thu&e feelings vhich prompt every lover of freedom to look upon his fellow-men as entitled to enjoy equal pri vileges uiider the laws which govern all; to have an equal voice in making those lawsand a due influence in deciding as to who shall be promoted to execute the law. No republican (for we hold that hundreds of the whig party are anti-republicans, which no man can doubt who watches them closely) need know more than the fact that MrReidisa democrat, and always has been a democrat; so firm that no ties of kindred could swerve him from his devo tion to those principles of governmen t, or induce him to abandon for kt filthy lucre," or the smiles of pride and pow er, the great end and aim of democratic principles. But if it is required that the public should know more than this, we doubt not that .Mr Reid has so lived, and conducted himself in his transactions of private life, that he is as willing to challenge the scru tiny f the people in this respect, as he is to "invite tiie discussion of the relative claims to republicanism, of whigs and democrats. If we are correctly informed, he has not been nursed in the lap of wealth, nor reared by the sickly hand ot luxury. He stands forth the architect of his own reputation; a worthy" example of what industry and persevtrance can accomplish, in a democracy or a government of the people, where merit, and not wealth and blood," is the only qualification neces sary to honor and trust. To that honor and that trust, Air Reid has fairly won his way. The people of his Congressional district have twice honored him with one of the most important ttusts of a represen tative government the second time by a largely increased majority. In the Assembly of his native State, he has shown that he is capable of represent ing a free people. He was there well weighed in the balance, and not found wanting. Not even tiie ties of friendship, nor self-interest could make him give one vote against the will of those he was re presenting. We refer to that session of the Legislature when the Hon. Robert Strange and the Hon. Thos. Settle were candidates for the senate of the U. States, and the vote of Mr Reid turned the scale : although Mr Settle was his relation and more, his best friend he betrayed not the trust that had been reposed in him : he voted that a democrat should be entrusted with the interests of North Carolina, in the Senate, in preference to even his Iriend and relative of opposite politics. And is there a republican in N. Carolina who rightly appreciates the representative character, who does not love and honor David S. Reid for that vote? Not one we hope. A learned man was writing to a friend ; a troublesome fellow stood beside him, who was looking over his shoulder at what he was writing. The former, who per ceived this, continued writing, in these words, 'If an impertinent chap, who stands beside me, were not looking at what I write, 1 would relate many other things to you, which should be known only to you and to mef The troublesome fel low, who continued reading, now thought it incumbent upon him to speak, and said " I swear to you, that I have not read or looked at what you are writing." The learned man replied, " Blockhead as jou are, why then do you say to me what you are now saying?" For the North Caroliuian. HON. DAVID S. REID AND EQUAL SUFFRAGE. Mr Bayne: It is with joy and gratula tion that the nomination and acceptance of the Hon. David S. Reid as a candidate for G overnor of North Carolina, is hailed by many a voter in old Cumberland. Yes, sir, for one I am proud to see him thus honored. If there is an individual who deserves to be crowned with success irre spective of party bias more than another, Hon. David S. Reid is the man. There is not another son of the old North State, who, like him, has so endeared himself to the great mass of the people. The first to promulgate during an electioneering canvass that there is an elective franchise which many of them ought to exercise at the ballot box, but were denied it by the constitution ; and the first to cry out for reform in this respect. Read in the fol lowing extract his independent and patri otic sentiment, advocating the doctrine of equal suffrage or the abolishing of 4 the landed qualification for senatorial voters "In the lost Canvass, I took the responsibility -to urge to the consideration of the people of North Carolina thejustice and policy of Equal Suffrage. I then predicted that, whatever might be my fate, the triumph cf my view en this subject was certain. My opinions and motives in regard to this question were violently and ungenerous!' assailed. Time has, if possible, more fully confirmed the opinions I then ex pressed; and, w hen this great question of Con stitutional Reform is consummated, (as it is des tined to be at no distant day,) by which upwards of fifty thousand cf the patriotic and intelligent men of North Carolina shall be enfranchised and restored to their rights at the ballot-box, I shall cheerfully abide the judgment of the people ot my State as to the justice of the measure and the rectitude of my motives in advocating it." Can that man who has been denied this right read those sentiments and refuse to cast his vote for David S. Reid ? Can the land-qualified voter be so selfish as not to desire to see the degrading feature eras ed from the constitution, and have extend ed to his poor neighbor and fellow citizens the sound, civil, political, and religious liberties which he himself enjoys ? As one of the latter class, I spurn the idea of such selfishness. Full well do I know there is many an intelligent voter w ho owns not an inch of land, jet the blood of his sires was poured out as freely and uncondi tionally on the altar of his country for the privileges which I now enjoy, and part of which that voter is now denied. And further, when that voter is called upon to fight the battles of his country, the interro gatory is never made, how many acres of land he owns, or how many dollars worth of property he has in possession. lias he a brave heart ? Does he love his country? are the. only requisitions necessary to make him a faithful soldier and manfully to defend that soil fur which he is ever ready to bleed and die. Sir, we have heard it rung in our ears that the Old North Sate is far behind her sisters in schemes of Internal Improve ments. Would to God that those who are so busily engaged in pointing out her de fects in this respect, were equally as in dustrious in showing that she is still farth er behind three-fourths of the Union in granting equal rights to the people by her constitution. But there are many who endeavor to excuse themselves in one way or another for not coming out heretofore in favor of equal suffrage, and among them is Gov ernor Manly. He hatches up some mis erable balderdash to impugn Mr Reid's motives for advocating it on the one hand, and to exhonerate himself on the other, for not participating in its discussion. Governor M. says that neither himself nor Reid were authorised by the respective conventions which nominated them, to discuss the question before the people, ami that he did not feel like taking the respon sibility upon himself to call lor reform in the constitution. He further says that the idea of abolishing the land qualifica tion for senatorial voters was sent from the city of Washington to Reid for electioneer ing purposes. Now, sir, I cannot think any voter of common sense can be made to swallow all this flummery which has been set forth by his excellency. Mr Reid has been a much abused man for the noble stand lie took during the last canvass and is now taking for popular rights ; but he has a brave heart and will not flag. The course he has undertaken is of truth and justice, and it must and will prevail. His firm independence in standing up for the poor man's rights has placed a laurel upon his brow which will never fade. In conclusion, let me remind all those who are in favor of equal suffrage.' to bestir themselves with double diligence in behalf of David S. Reid. For should he be defeated, the opposers of the meas ure will then proclaim that it has been re jected. Judge ye what I say and act wisely. A Voice from Cumberland. N. C. UNIVERSITY Commencement. We inadvertently omitted to publish last we,ek the following sketch of the exercises : The Commencement Exercises of our cherished State Universally took place on Thursday last the 6th of June. We learn that there was a very large concourse of persons in attendance, and tiiat every thing passed offin a very pleasant manner. On Tuesday evening the declaimers se lected from the Freshman Class acquitt ed themselves with credit. On Wednes day morning the Hon. James C. Dobbin, of Fayetteville, delivered a capital address before the two Literary Societies, which I was regarded as a most rich and beautiful production. Un tue evening ol the same day Dr Wright of Wilmington made an eloquent, and feeling address to the Alum ni Association, after winch the represen tatives from the Sophomore class declaimed. The Valedictory sermon, delivered by Rev. Dr Hooper, was regarded by all who heard it, as a most highly finished" and ex cellent discourse.

Not a single Speech of the orators in Use late Whig "Convention is published by the Register as it was delivered in that body. Every one had some fault that the critique organ did not like; and each lias beeti altered, we presume, to suit - its ex quUite taste.

We have heard that some prominent Whigs 'looked upon it as a violent speech, offen- ive both to Whigs and Democrats. Of j Mr Miller's we repeat, it is not published as it wss delivered , and no one who heard the delivered speech, and reads the printed one, will say that they are one and tiie same. j Mr Rhode's apology for the IVitmot Pro j viso is also kept in the dark. 1 lie Register will have its hands full, if it discharges the duties both of organ " of tiie party and composer of speeches. We say again, that paper is ashamed to publish the speeches as they were delivered by its friends. Sir Isaac Newton. This illusirious philosopher was once riding over Salisbury plain, when a boy, keeping sheep, called to him Sir. you had better make haste on, or your will get a wet jacket.' Newton, looking around, and observing neither clouds nor a speck on the horizon, jogged on, taking very little notice of the rustic's information. He had made but a few miles when a storm, suddenly arising, wet him to the skin. Surprised at the circumstance, and determined, if possible, to ascertain how an ignorant boy had at tained a precision and knowledge in the weather, of which the wisest philosopher would be proud, he rode back, wet as he was. ' My lad," said Newton, I'll give thee a guinea if thou wilt tell me how thou canst foretell the weather so truly." Will ye. Sir ? 1 will, then," said the boy, scratching his head, his hand for the guinea. (having received the money, and pointing to the sheep,) when you see that black ram turn his tail towards the wind, 'tis a sure sign of rain within an hour." What I" exclaimed the philosopl er, 4t must I, in order to foretell the weather, stay here aud watch which way that black rain turns his tail ? Yes, Sir." Off rode Newton, quite satisfied with his dis covery, but not much inclined to avail himself of it, or to recommend it to others Judge Pktkrs. On his entrance into Philadelphia, General Lafayette was ac companied in the barouche by the venerable Jude Peter. The dust was somewhat troublesome, and from his advanced age, &.c , the General felt and expressed some j solicitude lest his companion should ex j perience inconvenience from it.

Unfortunately, how ever, for the. poor negro, on the day after he had received this ingenious lesson, there was amongst the guests at dinner a foreign gentleman with a double-breasted coat, and Sambo was for a while complete ly at a stand. He looked first at one side of the gentleman's coat, then at the other, and finally, quite confounded by the out landish make of the stranger's garment, he cast a despairing look at his master, and exclaimed in a loud voice. Button-holes at both sides, tnassa," handed the plate right over the gentleman's head. A Smart Repartee. -Cries Sylvia to a reverend Dean, What reason can be gvii. Since marriage is a holy.thing.
