It will be seen that the Faculty, as we were assured, from our own know! cle of the gentlemen composing it, they Had done, exerted all the means they are authorized the employ, to prevent the unfortunate selection. Chapel Hill, March 1, 18S6. Mr Dsas Six: Your letter of the 25th (post marked 28lh) ulL, was received by yesterday's mail. . j . It affurds me pleasure to be able to reply to your inquiries pomptly and satisfactorily. A majority of the Senior Class determined, as stated in the newspapers, two or three weeks ago, to invite Arch-Biahop Hughes to deliver the Val edictory, Sermon to that Qaas. The Faculty, upon the eaxiieat intimation that reached them of the fact, stated to them, that in their opinion the measure was fll-advised, and nrged them not to proceed without the concurrence of the Exec utive Committee. - The Executive Committee subsequently approved the course pursued by the Faculty, ana in the mean time the Bishop declined the Invitation. . Yon are aware thai aQ selections of this char acter, aa in the appointment of the Orator to sd drws the Literary Societies of College, Marshall, Ac, are ordinarily left to the young men, and that neither the Faculty nor the Trusteea know any thing about such arrangements, until they Iurn the facta from rumor, or newspaper notices. Beyond advice and expostulation, the Faculty are clothed with no power to intervene in such tuattrn. : ' Yours very reapectfully, - . ; D. I SWAIN. 11. G. Alumk, Eaq. THE LATE ELECTION IN NEW" HAMP- ' SHIRE. Thecitest which has lost ended in New Hampshire presented some features not usual in otate elections. Pierce s chances of renoraina tion were viewed aa depending in an important degree upun reversing the dec-Won of the pre vious year, which placed his own State in the anti-Administration line, and again bringing it back to the fold of political "Democracy." The effort, though made with an earnest perseverance that omitted no effiirt of party manoeuvre, was not successful, and New Hampshire still disowns Pierce and refuses to him her support. The most curioas feature of the struggle is shown by ' the National Iutelligeccer, in the fact that the De mocracy, in their eagerness to win back the State, j betrayed all the "national issues" of which in the South they claim especial guardianship, and sup ported the Nebraska hill not a a national mea. ure, calculated to secure to "both sections thdr rights in the territories, but as a "MEASURE of FREEDOM" which, by its legitimate effect, will prevent hereafter the" creation of a single slave State ! We have not the space to reproduce all the extracts from the press and speakers who supported the Democracy, given by the Intelli gencer, bet quote sufficient to show that the party in New Hampshire id as thoroughly abo lition iwd as even Greely would desire ; the only question between them and their Republican op ponents being aa to whether the Kansas-Ne braska bill ia or is not a "measure for freedom !" Tlie Portsmouth Evening Gazette, a "Demo cratic" paper, with the names of the Candida tea of the party at its head, on the 11th instant, is devoted to a synopsis cf a speech just pre viously delivered by the Hon. C L. Woodbury, and a glowing encomium upon "the lucidity" of style and severe logic" which he used in showing the prospect of free f territory wherever it was open to the competition of free' and slave labor. The editor, then, for himself, says : "We may remind our readers that the extreme ouuihem Mien opposed the Kansas and Nebraska tall because they foresaw that it tntrUaUt opera Horn trould insure the admission of those Territo ries as Iree Stutes. The Hon. Jere Clemens, one of the most ardent friends of the "peculiar institution, took strong and impregnable ground for this very reason against the bill, denounced it aa bwing the cat under the meal, and wanted his allies agaiUbt its adoption ; an empty con cession was made to tiie aoutn, out ait the re sulting real advantages would accrue to the non ala veholding States. His prediction is becoming history. Kansas, tcken admiaett, trill be admit- tet as a free Slate, not from the preponderance of blisrp s nnes, but from tbe superiority of free over wave labor, from the superior energy, in dustry and economy of the Northern over the bouthern character. i oe aoutnern democracy cannot tail to ap preciate the compliment bestowed upon them in the concluding portion of the above extract.. Tbe Coos Democrat argues that it is unnecessary for the Republicans to oppose the extension of sla very, because "the people who will aettle the ter ritories will prevent them by doing it themselves, As to Kansas it says : "If Kansas, with all the efforts which hare been made by the pro-alareryUts, with all the advantages which the adjoining State of Mis souri, full of slaves and wild with fear that the establishment of freedom in Kansas will be fatal to slsverr iu Missouri : if, with all these adven titious circumstances, Kansas is still to le free. I what danger is there that any Territory c& here- aJlaro.sk to oe received tnio the L mon mM sla very t There is none. "A nd therefore there is no need of an Abolition or a Republican party to prevent slavery exten sion. Let the people alone, and they will in every case prevent its extension of their own free will and accord. AH that is necessary is to main tain their right to decide this question, the Dan" ocratie doctrine of popular sovereignty, and you tciU have no more start Stales ; not one." The same paper quotes from a speech of the Hon. Henry Hibbard, one of the most active sup porters of the Kansas-Nebraska, bill, showing the results he anticipated from that measure. "Mr.! Hibbard discussed the State issues pre sented in this campaign with hia usual ability. He then took np the slavery question, and dis cussed it in all its ever varying phases, and in a manner which could not fail to carry conviction of the sincerity of the speaker, and with an array or tacts, logical arguments, and sound common sense views, thst could not fail to convince all fair-minded persons present, all whose minds were capable of receiving and appreciating the truth, that the acts of the President and the Democratic party were just, sod that our pres ent position upon the slavery question, the leav ing the whole matter with the people, la unde niably correct, the only just, . fair, and proper mode of settlement, and by that manner oj treat ing the question it is rendered almost certain that not a rood of slave territory triU hereafter apply admission to the Union, We commend this speech to the people of Dal ton. They- may look at it from every way, view it from every point of sight, and they will be the better satisfied-, of its Uuth and candor. The meeting was entirely satisfactory to the Democracy of Dalton, and, af ter hesitating somewhat on account of the failures of the two last years, we have concluded to set Dalton down as reliable for a Democratic renre- 1 1th and a fair Democratic ma- ' " UNION," FOR :TIIE SAKE OF THE J' .

Right. If there existed a necessity then, for an union of the moderate men of all parties for the sake of the National Union, who can dbubt, that there is, at this' time, a still mach greater necessity for such an union in favqr of Fillmore and Donelson ? The spirit of faction, of discord, and of disunion is abroad. The administration of the affairs of the General Government, since the inauguration of its present vacillating and inefficient head, has been characterized only by folly, extravagance, corruption and ribecility. Demagogues and traitors, who, like Banks, (elect ed by the adoptiou, through locofoco support, of the plurality rule, Speaker of the House of Re presentatives) proclaim their readiness to ' let the Union slide," in a certain contingency, are laboriously at work to plunge the eountry into a, civil war, and thus to produce the disruption of the cords which now bind the States in one harmonious whole. Pandering to sectionalism is the appropriate work of the so-called Democratic and Republican parties, the one bidding for Southern and the other for the. Northern voto. The American Party, purged, as it was, at Philadelphia, is the' only National Party. Its principles arc those of the Constitution, and its candidates will and should receive the support of all who mean LETTER FROM THE H6N. GARRETT . :3 .

It is not alone in New Hampshire that loco- focoism has justified the Kansas-Nebraska bill as a measure that is destined to permanentYy check the extension of slavery.. Ijt Illinois (the home of Douglas,) the same view has been frequently advanced by the prominent oracles of the party, and throughout the North and West, even where not so openly avowed, there is an evident willingness to encourage the impression as an efficient means of satisfying the anti-slavery pre judices of the people. .

Power is what the political desperadoes who are at present threatening the country with ruin aim at. They want power to enable them to carry out their principles, which, in a majority of cases, are no. principles at all, or such as their owners should be ashamed of. The Republi cans are rabid for power, that they may open old wounds, and set tbe country bleeding afresh. They will not listen to any compromise whatev er ; they must have everything thus and so, or they will tear the Constitution in tatters, and dissolve the Union. : The so-called Democracy, pampered and bloated with power, rage ' like wild beasts at the bare suggestion of its diminu tion. Tks American is, just now, we repeat, the only National Party I - Its members have not made patriotism a by-word and a sneer, as have the fac tious disturbers of government who court foreign influence or create civil strife. They recognize no higher laws Jlhan those framed by our wise statesmen, after a code conveyed to man by the hand of the Almighty. They aim at creating and sustaining fraternal feeling and friendly rela tions among the whole family of States. They desire to draw closer tbe bonds of Nativism, and to lay a check upon the rapid usurpation of foreign depredators. To effect these objects, and these only, they, too, want power, and the people will give them this power, we believe, despite denun ciations, croakings and threats, despite the wails of Black Republicanism or the curses of loco foco spoilsmen !
