t pmfM of tb<-4r j 9w w ?? ia but hnvo conferred beyond i h ei r own country. and bcyrmd all their own thought*, oo millions of men tad on successions of gttrarationa. ? Under the influence of th?e? institutions, rraeived and adopt*! in principle from o?r ex ample, the whula southern continent ha* ?haken off ita colonial subjection. A new wMld filled with fresh and interes ting nations has nsm to our sight. Ame rica see ins again discovered; not to ge ography, but to commerce, to serial intercourse, to intelligence, to civiliaa tion, and?o liberty Fifty years ago, some ?f those who now hear me, and the fath eis of many others, listened in this place, to those mighty masters, Otis and Ad ams? When they then uttered the spi rit-stirring sounds of independence and liberty, there was not a foot of land on the continent inhabited by civilised man, hat did not acknowledge the dominion of Eun>f>ean powrr.? Thank God, at this moment, trom us to the south pole, and from sea to sea, there is hardly a loot that doea. And, sir, whea these atatea thus near ly disenthralled and emancipated, as sum* the tone, and bear the port of in dependence, what language, and what ideas do we find associated, with their new arquired liberty? They speak, sir, of constitutions, of declarations of rights, of the liberty of the pre**, of a congre^, and of representative government. Where, air, did they learn these? And when tbey have applied, to their gicat leader, and the founder of their states, the language of pra:ae and commenda tion, til) they have exhausted it ? when unsatisfied gratituoe can express itself no otherwise, do they not call hiiu their Washington? Sir, the *>pi> it ui continen tal ir, dependence, the genius of Ameri can liberty, which in earlier times tried her infant voice in the halls and on the hdls of New -England, utters it now. ' with power that ??<???? lo v?jke th^iiead, on the plotns of Mexico, and tnuiig the I aides of Andes. j ?? Her path, \?h"re'er the Godde?? rove*, i fllorv pur???ra, and jjenerous stixmr, The unconquerable mind, and Ireedom's bo- | )y flame.? I I There is one other point ol view, sir, j in regard to which I will -thy ? fe?r words, though perhaps at some oaaard of misinterpretation. In the wonderful spirit o? improve tr.ent and enterprise whuh animates 'ho country, we may he assured that -*cb quarter will naturally exert its power in favour of objects in which it ts imer- | es'ed. 1 his is natural and unavoidable. Each portion, therefore, will use its best means. If the west feels a ?trong interest in clearing the navigation of it* mighty stream*., and opening roads j through ila vaai forerts; if the soutn it j equally zealous to push the production ar rj augment the puces of its grea? ?is plos, it ia reasonable to expect, that these objects will be pursued by the best means which offer. And it may therefore well deserve consideration, whether the commercial, and naviga ting and manufacturing interests of 'he north do not call on u- to aid and support Ihem, by united counsel*, and urute<! ei forts. But I abstain trorn enlarging on this topick. Let me rather say, sir, that i in regard to tbe whole country, a oew *ra nas arisen. In a time of peace, the proper pui suits of peace engage socie ty with a degree of ente; prise, and an ( intcnMinefs of application, r-er oiofore un known. New objects are opining, and ' new rrs'?uue? dcvelop-d, on every aide. We tread on a broader theatre; and if instead of acno< our parts, ac- 1 cording the novoliy and impoitaoce of the fcene, we w?ste our strength in rroui-l crimination and recrimination j about the past, we shall resemble those navigator's who having escaped Iroro ?oppj < rooked and narrow n??r to tho sea. now that the whole ocean is before then), should nevertholees, occupy them selves with tha differences which hap ponad as they passed along among tbe rocks and the shallows, instead of open ing their syea to the *id* horiioa i aroun-1 tham, spreading 'ocir tail .othc propitious gale that woo? it, raising thair quadrant to tlie sun, an<l ^r:?pirjg the helm, with the conscious hand of a mater.

The icbcwc wa* fraroed by Gillespie, and approved by the ?*uegesr; and it efTered a list of priaoa, including the priae in question, amounting, in the aggregate, to half a million. Tha ticket* were tinned by the president of the board of manager*; and the lottery waa drawn, uuder their dirt?c lion; but the ticket* ware all sold by (?il Itspie or his amenta, and for his emolu ment axcluiively. Neither the managers nor the corporation had any interest in the lottery, after receiving the stipulated som paid by Gillespie, far the purchase of the entire class and scheme; and which sum wak paid or secured before the drawing of the lottety. In the pro gress of the drawing, Gillespie advanc ed the price of tirkcts, *5 he pleased; and all the rr>ultiug profits accrued to him exclusively In one of the numerous advertisement* put forth by him, in the puffing style usual with professional lottery -venders, he stylod himself 4? .'Igcrit of the Aliinagrr*.'* Such was hi* style in the advertise ents, published in the National Intelli ncer.

Frotn tUe Raleigh Armstcr. UNIVERSITY. Tt it pretty well known, that, ever ?ince the establishment of the professor* ?hip of Rhetoric end Logic in the University of North Caroline* an opin ion has prevailed, in the minds of ?ome, oC how 01*117 it were ?ot easy to say, : that it it a professorship wholly unneces ' sary, incurring a useles* expense to the fonda of the institution. It nothing has br*r> said publicly before this in ex planation, it was no> from a disposition to retreat from the subject, as standing upon weak and untentMe groond, hut t because a hope was indulged 1 kiat ?uch an opinion would orobably cease, ss rime should afioid onportumty of more panicular inquiry .rt I knwwkdge of the circumstances. To numbers, i,o*e?er, the expected conviction hat not yet re sulted, and it can tcarcely appear ob trusive now to picsent Mich an exhibi tion of the bn?itif<?s done in the unircr sity, as will *how, that the professorship ot which we apeak is indispensable. For this purpose I ahall commence with a li?t*of the professornhips, and they are ? 1. '1 tic professorship V?f lan guages; 2. That of mathematics; 3. The pi^?fctsor?hip ot chemistry, mineralo gy and ecology; 4. The professorship ol moral philosophy, and 5. that of rhe toric and logic. I he professors of Isnpuages, mathe matics and chemistry, arc each exclu sive!y employed up??n the branch ?>t sci ei.ee, Irnm which hi* offi- c takes its name. This is the practice received in colic gt-s and universities ">o:h in Am?r- , ica and iri fclurcpa.

This is said, nut o.dy of professors lu re, but wherevt r ttw y ex;st? and it is upon ' this id<-a -hst all collects pr-f ecd. Ori \ t h??k *ohjer. it mm' <?e needless to err large. AM, it is prefcumec, will readily admit, that the pr lessor of l?n?int;fs ia to Or occupied in acquiring an J ei? ? '>&? in struction in ih? L^nn anfGrctk langua ge*; that ti?e professor of mathem atics ha?

Now if we luok vbroj^h the plao of edu^a ? ion adopt- d b* he bosrrt of trustee.?, anrl (.lis paper has always been open , to the inspection of aal!? it will appear | that ins raction must be given ?No i on the following btanchrs of learning: 1. VI ?ral philosophy; 2. Natural ptiilos opny and astronomy; 3. Rnetoric, and practical elocution; 4. Chronnio.-y; 5. Political ecoi.om%; 6. Lo??tc; 7. Me taptiysic*,or the philosophy of the mind. To his mas* of subjects muit he fur ihrr a.idea. 8. The srrviccs ot the pul pit; 9. The superintendence of the m- ? nmu'ion, and wha? ?*ust be inseperaily i connected with it, much correspondence sud moch interruption nl tune from va rious cause*, acting with ih?- ^rev.er | th-advan'a 't because the particulars never can he anticipated. I If it be asked why natural philosophy and astron-my are introduced into this I lis' of remaining studies, ?iuce thrse I would ifom properly to 'tlonc to the pro l feasor of mat. ema>ics, the explanation is j t is i that the different subject* o' nstu I rai philosophy are actually taught hy ' thr profc?sor of mathematics, a?. <ar as he has, wnli the utmost diligence nnd cser: ion. i.e*n ahle to bring tiern with- j io such li'ue as he can possibly allow to litem. Accordingly, the professor has sut ceeded in comprehending within the sphere of his instruction, all excrpt ' the subject of Optics, and that of asuon- I c/Oiy. I I ruifclit here stop, after surh ai cnu miration, which is in u? s?-o>e sweJkd heyuii'f th** strict li?niis of the truth, Mkj evj('.enc? of w hicii, an { have said, are au-1 ever have been open to ail, and I might rviHt the determination of the queition, u Whether an a?M?tant be reasonable and neees*arj- or not?" up<xi the bate inspection of the quantity and toe distracting diversity of buttiness th.?t must fail ?pon the supei internment, if he tione he expected to perform the whoio of it. 'I o any one wfio is at nil acquainted with thn nature of eufh oc cvpa'ion, it Plight be rolerred with con 8<1cik:? Whether two persona who shoo! I divide thrir time and their minds among 'he ui/ie remaining object*, were ei'.her of them !i<alv to h*?hi a rm r u| uic tunc the institution, for which scarcely shadow of a pretext can be found' the same tiwie. nut without enteriii ituo particulars, iruav it net ?jU I to it net *jll 1,0 evident, thai whatever time be requi site for one half ol the business, tuust le doubled to supply enough for the whole? To the superintendent, four different sort of business, at least, are constantly and contemporaneously ne-, cessary through e?ery week of the year and ii there be no assisting professor, these roust be still further multiplied. And it there no real disadvantage to the instructor, who, on one day, in pro secuting one branch of scirnce, and on the next another, and evcu two diffc icnt branches on the same day, and wf ter a certain number of days have elaps en, has these replaced by another set or studies wholly different, until in the course of the year, he has had his mind atvfhis exertions directed upon eight dif ferent branches of science, while thio* the whole, he has >)r??n necessarily sub ject to interruptions anJ avocations, ir reducible to calculation, and noi to be foreseen, though experience l.ss lf,ng shown that tliey must occur. This ?urely is not chargahle wiih exagge ration, for by looking bock to the lie tails, the proof is set before the eye in the shape ol facts. Can it be at all strange, if in suth a parcelling out of time among difTeient objects, no system of lectures c?n be digeaicd and finally prepared, upon even one of the various branches of science thus heaped together, upon the reading, the invert! nation, and ihe matured composition of one oiup?
