The merits oT the measure have been differently spoken of. While some publi cations emanating, (at least ostensibly,) from dis taat place, speak, nith hesitation on the subject, the ceuse has been nobly pleaded by others more -immediately within the sphere of operation, and here, the necessity and Importance of the mcas lire can-more. easily be ascertained. What tic rrree n( inttmt nnH rn . lh mraiir nncrhf In excite in Ihe public mind, will be developed in the answer to the two following questions : 1st. Is the measure necessary ? . 2d. Is it one that can be effected ? - First s Is the measure, necessary ? From va rious considerations, 4t would appear that an af firmative answer must be here given. 1st The example of our sister states forms a strong pre sumptive argument thit the. measure is neces -Kary.-Ihs any-other 4Ute in the Union pxmes sing the population of North-Carolina : entertain ed the opinion that; one public seat of learning re; i ... j i wavBinnxicm r-- naa inassncrrusciis- uceuicu one sufficient ?

We are attentive to the policy 0tour sister states in other respects, and disposed .to learn from example.- Why attentive in everf oiher respect, but turn a deaf ear to. the particular now in hand ? I repeat it, that the uniform example of other states con stitutes an. argument' violently presumptive in favor of. the measure here advocated. 2d. The conveniehcy of the Western section of the state requires the institution of another public seat of learning. FronT'the western hmits of.

U there. notUng menacing, both tilth resect to the Intent of church and ' state I Let none suppose that he writer is an advocate for a smattering in education.- No r if a College arl.e in the West, we wish and design it to be inferior to none in point of solid learning aiU .acichccr 'l his, the writer insists upon It, can be accomplished without the long college residence hitherto noticed. From the 6rt institution of Princeton College, and until ilthin m few years, after a rcspccuUte acquaintance ith the dead languages, and a good knowledge of geography, the atudent th-t wa at tentive to business was sure, to gtaduate i two years. Was this an insufficient course i Ltt the merits of the men that were iittitxiuced into the literary world under this course answer the ques tion. Are not these the luminaries that have shone in the church, in the medical, department, and at the bar t Are not these the men tha have figured in our legislative coun- its, hnl thundered in the field of battle i I hut it appears' that the long college residence, and the cou-eq jent heavy expenditures now by some of our public seats of learning imposed on the student, are artificial rather than necessary If it be s .id that the field of science is extending, the measure, tuertlorc, that Is here complained of is ncctsviry ; I an swer, let well regulated Academics have their full weight In a course or education. Hue ex penses are comparatively iiht. i hus the same point can be obtained, and learning not be put out of the power of the less wealthy put t ol society. 5th., The, interest of religion and morality would seem to require the measure . If all the youth of our own state that are puruing a liter ary course, together with a considerable number from neighboring states, are to be collected to gether at Chapel-Hill, it ill be difficult to pre setve that order, that morality and virtue which are vitallylmportarit f6rile Imnor and Interest of an institution; and for the honor, interest, ond usefulness in life of thoe who emunate from it In any department of life, in proportion as the num. ber is great which is collected together, in the same proportion is it difficult to support order, and preserve the interest of morulity anJ virtue. Hence the rigid discipline that must,, be kept up in armies. And hence the vigilance and disci pline that has been kept up. and must be kept up. in the cumbrous and massy Furopean uni yersities. The number ought to be respectable, so as to awaken spirit of due compctiiion ice But there is a boundary , th.U it ouht not to pass. In pleading the cause of religion and morality, the Church ' wlirdtily appreciate the weigh! of the argument. She laments the paucity of compe tent Ministers of the Gospel, t.nd mourns over, her silent .Sabbaths. Her eyes are upon the fountains of science, and she devoutly supplicates that they may be preserved pure. But ought the church only to be solicitous that virtue and sci ence be combined in our seats of learning ? Hits the state no interest in such an issue ? To bfiii m this would be rash, ant in opposition to the dictates-of com men .sense,. and the results of expe rience in every, age of the world. Ancient le gislators accorded' ith t he sentiment of t he poc t ( 'Tis fixed by fate, irrevocably fixed, Virtne and vice are empires' life and death.

The legitla ture has the power t and we have yet to learn, that they have not the will to patronize the Mine of learning. But should we not be no foitunjie as t olkain public 'aid, does it hence follow that this grcr.t project must fail? Other seats ol learning, i( great importance, vh.

Many can be found that would contribbte that sum ; end, probably, I as well without it as with it. The unanimity of the pub lie is great, the zeal remarkable ; it may there fore be Wily Calculated uwn, that liberal muuili eence'will be pretty 'general. The matter, then, stands thus : The necessity of another public scat of learning is supported by the examples of our s'utcr states by convenicn Cy by the preset vation of our resourtesal home by the accommodation of the less wealthy p-it of society and by the interests of religion and moitditv That it is an object that can be effected, ap pear from the consideration, that the LcgitU lure will not refuse a charter, and with it will probably gnmt somcassistimre in point of funds But should we receive no public aid, as to fund, the wcalt.Sof that section of country concerned lis respectable, and their liberality with respect to so great and important an object, we hope, may be relied upon. Let it be understood, that from the first movement on this subject, we have con ferred with many leading characters in the up per parts of South-Carolina, who feel interested in the object, and pledge every suitable co-operation in order to its accomplishment. To advocate this great project before the Gen eral Aksemhlynmst'devolve Lupoh .Abe 'rcpi emu lative from this western section of the state.
