Coder every change 'if'diiiiniti tioti, until now, the foul touch of par!y"in has never been permitted to enter their walls. Kven when under the couttol ot Director ol one political fuilh, llie Inh philanthropic purposes ol both these iesu tuttmw' have never Wn dlstnrfied by 'he esssen atu I . miseritbio, cry of .pattjisni. . . . The siiperinten.lcnce of the Lunatic Asy lum was, at its very inception, placed in the hands ot Dr. Kdward ('. K.sln r, then ot Virginia, tioui no uhworthy or sinister mo. tives. His skill in the nmnagenutil ol l.u italic Asylums had been tested by his long connection with similar institutions in Virginia, which,' together with his emi nent attainments as a Physician ami his qualities as a geotleuian and Christian, pe culiarly fitted him for that post. For many years lie has maintained his high repnta lion, without taint or suspicion, and to day he is, perhaps, tit only ihui in North Caro lina, who, in all reMecta, is fully prepared to manage the institution. Next to him is that worthy geiitleiuan, Dr. Fuller, who, at an early age, after completing his medical studies, with comm. tillable sacrifice relin qnisbed the tempting allurements of Mii tiou and profit, as 'ell a the close endear - lllenls o gochlv, in t'ot true spirit o phil j anlhropy, ,itid has spent years of toil as the ! aaiiaut of Ui.

Moore's prompt a siduity and skill, the grounds, farm, gar den, stal l s ami vaiious kinds ol stock, have been lepairod, gr-a!iy imjirmed and replaced, and everything presents the most encouraging aspect. There is no positing more difficult to fill than that, of titeward. He should be a good accountant, capable ol conducting all inu Higeiii i orrespomlenoe, a good tradesman, capible of buying and sell ing, a good larmer and gardener and me chanic, a man ot uniloiibt.d integrity, hav ing the disbursement of some 10,000 per year, a, man "cispatrtrTrf grveiug aurvauta, and, withal, a man of a kitiil, liehevolciit spirit, and of great industry and energy. Such a man Mr. Moore has proven hiuisell to be. There cannot lie found one while Wat) out of a hundred, if one of a thousand, cap able of filling Ihe office well, and we are quite sure tbera ia not a negro in the State, nor any fifty of thetn combined, who can discharge propert'lti dtitfes of the office Ou yesterday, w announced the new Hoard of Supervisors appointed fur the Asylum, by "Gov.

For the sake of humanity aud lor the honor -)l the State, we could have wished better things of bim, but e certainly did not hope or expect it. tiot on of the appointee is competent for the lii gb duties pertaining to the office. IJe might have done far better in his own. (parly. And then the appointment of a IV nadUh negro ymtelur to tu neriight of the most noble dutrttf f tK 8tat, is aa outrage upon public decency and propriety, and an insult to the people of the State. Tbe ap pointment on tbe Board show that tbe "Gov." intend' it eootrol the whole affair himself, for not one of them would tlare dttlcr with liiin. It is a mere family con cern, under such management.

It is rumored, that Moses Patterson, an old uegio Hian iu this City, is to succeed Mr V'im.m a Stewardf - AnoUier rumor is that Forney Whitaker is to tic tjjie Steward In either ease, the institution will be se riously damaged. We wait further devel opments. It is understood that, under such a rrjo.wi, the removal of Dr. Fisher is the signal for the leaving ol Dr. Fuller, Mr. Moore, (if not liunv.il displaced,) the mat run, and every attendant who can find cm plo.yment elsewhere.

The reports w ere never more faithful oi beibr, iu this city. We are pleased to know that many of the Oppov sition endorse the iM.rreistt.eHs and propriety ot our reports. We See it is s'aled that complaints ate made ot our Jiepoitei in the House, because he employs the term "negro," simply as a matter of information to the public. There is a maiiiltsi pioprietyau.l ueccwMty that the public should know w ho are the representa tives offlhic people, and wh it they are doing. It the Henr i members o the body exhibit any capacit y tor legislation, they are entitled to the ctedii, and the public should know it. Tltere is nothing derogatory to a man of the African rate, U at all uuiod with it, to tie termed a ricgf.i. Il is a simple desig nation of race, aiuK is no more derogatory thau the use of the words Caucasian, Indian, Mongolian or Malay when applied to those ravs9! ; and t)ies wbocomptain only show a miserable want ff tttnte. .,, We have acled from s deliln:rate convic tion ot rttr prnrrrrrtT, and sfintr tint tic do ttried Irom it by the threats of any one. ,Our rt;piiit,s shall U (air, fnitbvl an.d deep, rous to the (ieoVral Assembly, but we shall not yield to the miserable, dul-eating, se4l' degrading course whicli some adopt, to pi ase any one.

If by tbe negro members, it is an indication that tliey are ashamed of their race am) color, a very bad sign ; if by white men, it is aa indica tion that tlu-y are ashamed of the company of the negroes, a pour5uiplimeiit to the latter, which they sliouldj)roierly apprt ciate. ahbwm "Pia o& pvprrr-i'uo w I0NAL OH PSHMASKUtt We don't know.

In the Hotiae, the carpel bag aud indig nant elcmeul triumphed over the moderate and decent wing ot the party, by laying Mr. I'ou's resolutions, invoking Congna sional "clemency" for all disabled citizens, on the table. This is supposed to advance Abbott's prospects for the fj. S. Senate, as it would really seem, from the way the sral lawags act, that a Vanki e's road to their favor liis in exhibitions of hatred tn the white people of the State, and especially that portion ol theiii who have been .lis tingniahed for their public services mid pri vate worth, and who have illustmied the annals ol North ( uiolius.

Ol such approval, in tbe present temper ol putties, I can, jierhapK, have no reasonable expectation. All histoiy proves that men who, in offi cial p. sitiou, oppose tor any reason tbe cherished schemes ih vised by factions to acquire power, usually Unit more determined sssailnnts than open aud earnest defenders, j Hence, in resisting! measures which, al though sustained by Congress, I honestly believed to be cticroschtiicots upon tbe Constitution, my task hss-feeee ntanfe a-rdtt-oiis and w-emingly ungracious br an oi.no- atlfon.powerfoi, welt urtyanlKftt, and pW sesstng a controlling innuerrce in tlie Dalit ol legislation unprecedented in the history fthc country. Compelled to unvote my entire time to the issues that have ' besa torced iixn me, and to contend against a majority represented by two thirds of eack House of Congress, I have been ooable, while striving to protect and maintain the liberties of the people, to check extravagant elxpenditures for object not oonteuiplated by the Constitution, and to lighten the bur dens ot taxation which now rest so oppress ively upon the nation. In (he midst of these embarrassments, I have not been discouraged. When Irom the public prints, or from some unusually frank aud outspoken trirnd, I have heard that I "have no party,1' the suggestion hat only served to remind me oi a memorable remark, uttered when faction ruled lll in Home, that "Cttisar had a party, aud Pornpey and Crassus eac.b s party, but that tbe Oommnfc' wealth had none." Aiming only, aa the representative of the people, to stand by the rights of the Commonwealth, may I not pertinently make the application to my own ease f Const rained, in occupying my position as tlie Federal .iCxccutive," to abide in alienee w ongs and encroachments if the most ill. si.itoua na well as desperate character, or sometimes, when incapable ol arresting them, permitted.
