January 1th, 1857. ' .
A Bi&Mga from the Ifoaio of Cotnmona waa
read proposing to po into an election of Tru
trca lo-da" at 111 o'clock. Mr. Cherry moved
that tha propoeition bo Uid on tha ULle; ijta
22, mn 20. ; A v ,
Mr. DocVe. j aaid tint he felt a deep interest
in the I'uiveraitv that ha bad graduated one
aou at it, the only one he had praduated that
be waa a truate in another institution, but bid
pent hia .money at the Unireriity- that ba
mentioned thia to show what be thought of it
to chow that ho waa not-prejudiced. Ua ei
p reused himeelf in favor of inoreaijig tha im
portiiDeo of that institution that he regarded
it Aa a State institution, And not that of any
part, and that every thing of a partisan nature
ongbt to be excluded from cooaideratioa and
be entirely disconnected with it. lluuior had
aid that A decision hid been nude who should
govern .Uta University; that there had boon A
meeting of tha Democratic party with eloeed doota(
tit the dark, boiled in, with aentriea attht doom,
to decide upon who (should be elected. ' J, aa a
North Carolinian, said hephall . be disposed to
patroiiise aouit other institution ii thin, ia to ba
nude aubaerviont to any party end. , 1 am op
posed to the opinion that none but democrat!
are able to look over ita deetiniee I want men
of All partiea. I object to the election being
taken out of the banda of tba Lcgialatnre, and
pnt into that of t aiagU party it will lessen
tho inatUution to a great degree in Die ecti ma
lum of a very considerable portion of oar citizen
their intoreat in it will cease. What "Ame
rican" or Wbi( will aend hia eon to tha L'oi
veraity, whan be loirm that it ia goerned by
the.cAttoua of A political party, to tho principle!
of whwh ha object? If the DemocrAtic party
taicea charge of this institution, and in niictnigbt
meetingi oontrol ita otatiny, we who op post the
principle of that party most get an institution
of ouf own. For, it trustee! are to be elected
from party niotivot, they will elect the ucultg
from the aarue motivea. Ut waa will ina; for bis
aom to be Pemocraia. if tby chose to be ao,
but ha waa not willing to pay other people for
making them anoh. They do not deny that they
hare held A midnight caucus on electing T run
tee to tha University. ."' V - ' "' -. V, 1(
Thia unfortunate esneua Bad vlrtnallv taken
the election from the Hegislatura, nd put it in
that of tha democratio party, and I regret that
this matter ba beea mao a party qneatloa;

how long would it take to effect an election?
lie anid then had been no delay of public bnst
nea that great deal had been done, Itu be
duliktd to hear 8c as ton any that tha responsi
bility aeta oa hia party alone; Senators who bad
bean award .nog tha Christmas bolide rs. He
the saarged tha Amoriean party furiously.
Mr. Dockery atom And said, be auppotwd from
tbe bigk aounding proclamation of the Senator
from Caswell, when be arose to speak, that be
waa gtmg to aar aometbinc. but he Lad been
disappointed that tba Seoaior bad said nothing

Mr. Dockery continued, that a abort time ago.
wneo there were a lew oaliii to be Administered,
aud darkness ruled supreme, a good many of tbe
loaders of tha Democratic party did belong to

lUflifhed and tba light of day lot in, these fel
low ootid not bear it, and skulked out, And left
tha parry a pure bind of patrioU. lie expressed
himself willing to divide the responsibility if
tha DetoocTAtie party would act Any ways manly.
If there ia any blame to be bestow d where oa
earth could it better be bestowed tbsn on tbe
Democratic party of the present General Aaaem-llr-
It ia ta Dower, and could bare kenl the

any, but b bad Withdrawn it ia order tbatthey
might tbe mora readily make aa eloctioa, and
expend leas lime; but week after week had paae
ed aad ao eloctioa baa bean affected, And it waa
because party had taken poasesRion of the rote,
lie reprobated thia state of thing, and did not
think soy one party should rule the University.
But tbe fiat baa p forth; the edict haj
paraed, and we have- no nothing to do but sub
mit tba University, wbiob our fathers estaUiabed
for all tbe f roe born rhilutrea of the State, to the
polluted keeping of rarty, and that' to be exer-
' ciaed, not in the open daylight, and in the balla
of togudalioo, bnt in A night meeting, ia some
dark room, with the doors bolted, and sentineia
posted to keep out all. who do not bend tha knee
to them, aad subscribe to their rule. To such a
fate we are ordered and compelled to surrender
the University of the 8 late.
' Mr. Eaton aaid UiAt be waa nnablc to inform
tbe gentleman whether thery had boen a eaucu
or not, that it there had, be had no hand .in it.
aud disapproved of the movement. He said that
the Supreme Court bad expressly declared in one
of its decisions, that tbe University was a public
institution. He thought all favoriteism ought
to be laid aside that be had always acted with a
high degree of liberality towards the University,
and intended always to do ao that the conside
ration of that question be should always keep
Above party. -7- --
Mr. Thouias, of Jackson, aaid that if we are
lobe taxed $1,500 ayear aimply for the sake of
electing tr unices to the University, bis opinion

the pride- of our -eitixou and aa honor to tit
State. Th precedent has been set by (he
Democrat! party of this Legislature tbe policy
ba boen announced, aad ai all other bad exam
ple, it will be easy and natural for other to fol
low. ,' This it ita beginning. No party, in any
former Legislature, baa ever held a party eaucu
poo the election of Trustees, itut it is report
ed to have been done on this occasion, and no
body denies it I now distinctly skarm it upon
the Democratic member of this Legislature, that
they have btld such a caucus, in the night, with
dour bolted and aeutuiels posted at the doors, in
structed to admit Done but Democrats to its de
liberations. Mr. Hill (of Caswell) liked tbe Senator from
Pssnaotank, if be stated thst as a fact, and bow
be obtained tbe information.
Mr. 1'oui aaid: I bare taken special care not
to state it aa a fact but I oow charge it npon
tbe Senator from Caswell, as within hia own per
sonal knowledge, that bis party baa, with doors
bolted and sentinels posted, held a secret meeting
night meeting to nomiuat3 Trustees of the Uni
versity, aud if such is not the fact, I bero give
bira a fair opportunity to deny it. Tben, tkrrt
hat Ire tuck a tecrrt wuxlimj. I have before
m the names of those nominated by that meet
ing. It is ol no use to -lead tuem. -1 hey are
ell known 00 the other aide of tbe chamber.
It makes do matter where the information of this
thing was obtained. Perhaps it ara from Some
traitor, for many such have left our partj and
beeb received into tbw fold of democracy. There
may be more than one similarity between this i
see rat meeting of tha democracy and lb mnch j
tlVetd dart laatrtV aaeeungs of t 'Ameer-1
ia any. . Imtum caine into far tueetfi'gs aad
west out to tor fa it their honor and dMckjas tba
proceeding. Tba democratic party received them
with open arma aad great joy. And now, when
we bave dropped the practice of holding secret
meetings, and the democracy haa taken it up, it
i not wonderful that in their rank traitor are
found to betray tba secrets, Tbey left us we
purged them out fermentation took place' and
tb. tilth was thrown off. ' Those who gathered it
ap and took it lovingly to their embrace, must
aot complain if they reap the reward. These
traitors gave ns trouble and we hope they may
give their new friends as mm b.
I do not condemn secret party meeting to
nominate political officers, and to take proper
meant to secure their election. 'This 1 approve
and am ready to defend. But I do condemn tbe
violation of professions made to the people Men
ought not to frv'tatoue thing and pruciiet anoth
er. Those who denounced us for holding seuret
political meetings and pronounced it wrong, hor
rid, araan and sneaking, no sooner get to the Capi
tol than tbey do the very same thing, in thj dark
ness of the night, and behind bolts and sentinels.
They say it ia terrible, dangercus, moustious for
the honest peopU, at home, to hold meetings in
secret for the purpose of nominating officer for
whom to vote, snd to take proper steps to secure
their election. But when thry, the. kudm, have
to elect officers, or conduct some party scheme,
Arj can meet in secret, midnight cvucluvei with
the door bolted aud birred, and gritu scaliucls
on the witch and there is no danger in it ut
all it is all right. They ire afraid to trust the
people in secret council; but their proud repre
sentatives, clothed it the honors Aud dignity of
office, they can trust to bold stciet poliuaal nieet
ingsAnd it is ill perfectly safe. Ihe deiuocratk
members oi -this legislature have iioiuiiiatcd, in
such meetings, n Attorney General, the Solicit
or, a Comptroller, end all the other officers elect
ed st thia session ; and, Dually, thry have n.et in
secret, midnight council, aud nominated Tru.u t
of the I'niicrtity.- ' ' '' 7
It waa really a curious spectacle when' they
nominated A Comptroller, l'hey turned out a
good and faithful officer, a member of their own
patty, for no other cause thau the crime of hav
ing once been a member of a secret political meet
ing, from which he had long iiie withdrawn.
Did it not oot-ur to them that they were, them
selves, at that verviiiomcnt, committing the same
terrible crime 1 It ia not for holJini the meef
ifi, but for violating their profeuiimi, that we
blam them.
And we blame them -specially for pushing par
ty distinctions and favors into the management
of the University of the State. ' ..Our literary in
stitutions should be kept free from party strife,
and sectarian bias especially that institution
whioh was established in obedience to tbe Con
stitution, for tbe common benefit .of all her citi-.
ens, without regard to political or religious opin

HUT K.NOUGII SLEEP.
We have I't-.'n heard young men retnark,
hat lour five hours' sleep was all tbey
wanted, and nil that ihe human system re
quat d. The habit of going without sulii
ciftit sleep is very injurious. Thousands,
no doubt, permanently injure their 'health
in this way. We live' in a fas? age, wher
even body seems fo be trying to invert th
orc!ertf nature. If foJhvs- w ill persist in
turning into day, it is not to be wondered,
at that lew last out the allotted term of life.
.No matter what be-a man's occupation
physical or mental, or.like Othello's, "gone,'
and living ia idleness the constitution,
cannot last, depend upon it, w ithout a suf
ficiency of regular aud refreshing sleep.
