He expreaaed himaelf in favor of bcreaing the importance of that institution that he regarded it as a State institution, .and not that of . any party, gad that every thing of a .partisan nature ought to be excluded from eoosideratioa and ntirelv disconnected with it. Rumor k.t mm'iA tka a dec Li von had been made who .n Id MTtm the Universitv : that there had been a meeting of the Democratic party with closed doors, in the dark, bolted in, with sentries at the doors, to decide upon who should be elected. I, as a Ztrtn Uaro- linian, said hvahall bdipoeed to patronbe tome other institution if this is to be made uheervient to any party ends. I am opposed to the opinion that none but democrats are able to look over its destinies I want men of all parties. I object to tbe election bebg taken out of the hands of the Legislature, and put bto that of a single party it will lessen the institution to a rrtt degree b the estimation of a Tery eonsiderahle portion of ear citiiens their bterest b it will cease. What " Amervtann or Whig will send his son to the University, when be learns that it is governed by tbe caucus of a political party, to the principles of which be objeeU! If the Democratio party takes charge of this institution, and in midnight meetings controls its destiay, we wno oppose me principle 01 that party must get an institution of our own. For, if trustees are to be elected from party moUves, they will elect the cuJy rrom tbe same motives. He was willing for his eons to be Democrats if they chose to be so, but he was not willing to pay other people for making them sueh. They do not deny that they have held a midnight cane as on electing Trustees to the University. ; This unfortunate esueus lad virtually taken the election from the Legislature, and put it u that of the democrat ie party, aod I rtgn-t that this matter has been made a party ques tion ; it is a question wbieh should steer clear of prejudices of all eaates. And I now make the inquiry, is that rumor correct! has there actually been a eancua ! The Chair announced that the specisl or dsr of this hour was the Danville and Greens boro R.R. Mr. Hill moved thst it be postponed until to-morrow at 11 o'clock. Mr. Cherry expressed himself opposed to the postponement of special orders. If c is to be the practice, in the name of coo won sense, when will we get through the bna'tuea and adjourn!

Mr u;d : This is the first time that poUUcs has been btroduced, this ses- I si(D tnd j reeret that it has been done on this occasion, l naa nopea to see tne session p&s without the b traduction of sueh a dis cussion. But it has not come from our side of the chamber, and of that I am glad. The Senator from Caswell commenced it, and aa tbe glove has been thrown down, I will take it up, and meet any one who has anything to say against either the principles or practices of tbe American party The charge has been made against the Sen ator from Bertie, that he went home during the Christ . as bvlidays, and that be and tbe party to which be belo ga, are- responsible for the delay in public business during that period. It is true, that nearly all tbe Sena tors went home. , But the , Democratio party having a large majority b both branches of the Legislature, cooJJ bave prevented the paxsage of. the resolution under which they eft, and is, therefore, responsible, if any harm Las been done. I remained at my poet durinr the t me, as well as the Senators from Uichuiond and Caswell.' But this is not precisely the point under dUcuaion; " It ia reported that the Demo cratio party has been holding s caucus secret meeting, b the night, with bolted doers and sentinels aod in that secret meet ing, so held, have aeltcted persons to be elected Trustees of the University of North Carolina. This is inaugurating a new policy in the management of that institution, and X wish, in thia, its first stage, to enter my pro test sgainst it. its tendency is clearly to make the University a party institution, and if the Democratic party shall continue us the ascendancy, such must inevitably be the re sult. For, if it be right for them to make the election of Trustees a party matter now, it will be right in the next, and every suc ceeding .Legislature, do far then, as they ean effect it, tbe fate of the university is sealed. None but Democrats can be Trus tees, or have any share in its management, and those who do not subscribe to their creed) nor desire their sons instructed in their prm- cipies, ana soDjeotea-w tne mas or party training, most not send them to this institn Uoo, which has heretofore been so conducted as to have become the pride of bar citiiens and an honor to tho State. ' The precedent has been set by the Democratio party of this Legislature the policy has been announced, and as all other bad examples, it will be easy and natural for others to follow. This is its begbning. 2o party,' in any former Legis lature, has ever held a party caucus upon the ejection oi trustee. xut u is reponea to have been done on this occasion, and nobody denies it. I now distinctly Marge it upon the Demoeratie members of, this Legislature, that they have held sueh a caucus, b ! the Bkht, wilk doors belled aad sentbals posted ! tA.t.tMi in admit none u' DemnmU to it deliberations, - - uuuasw AAaaa aaw vwvk . ww - r"V7 n--J.iu- W tha Senator from Passraotank, if he stated that as a fact, with doari bolted and sentinels posted, held . .,.t n;t mt;nir to nominate Trustee wv-w-. ........

They turned out a good and faithful officer, a member of their own party, for no otter cause than the crime of having once been a memDeroi a seere po . . , A. litical meeting, from which he naa long since withdrawn. Did it not occur to them that they were, themselves, at that very moment, com mitting the same terrible crime It is not tot holding the meetings, but for violating Ihfir professions, that we blame them. And we blame them especially for pushing party distinctions and favors bto the manage ment of the University of the State. Our literarv institutions should be kept free from party strife, and sectarian bias especially that institution which was established b obe dience to the Constitution, for the common benefit of all our citizens, without regard to nolitioal or religious opinions Mr. Houston said that as a member of the Democratio party he did not intend to skulk any responsibility that he was unwilling that this election should come off until ail were satisfied that he could not see why the Universitv should not be governed like al other institutions ; he said that he was speak br for his nartr and not for himself that two vears azo.be had the honor of bebg member in the other end of tho capitol, and then voted for a member of the American party for this same office, and that be did the same thing a few day ago that he did not intend to be bound br anr caucus his party may have had when he was not present. He alluded te an expression used by Mr. Dockery ome time ago to the effect that soiiu Democrat had said that Geo. Jackson told a lie in relation to Mr Buchanan he said he did not believe it was a Democrat who made the remark that it must have been a Know Nothing. He said he hoped there had been a caucus tl at they had wasted two days already and no election can be ef fected without a eauous. He said he thought it wrong in the American party to hare taken b the unwary and boaatious, and to' have administered horrid oaths in culverts, snd more especially was it wrong to deny it. He said that the party did deny holding caucuses that he accidentally got caught b one in the Senate chamber. Mr. Pool asked permission to correct the Senator. No member of the American party had denied hoidmg secret caucuses, or ooe demned it. But every one of them condemn making the eleetion of trustees a party nat ter. And when i they bold secret meetings they do not go home to their constituents with professions of innocence, and abuse other people for dobg the same thbg. .

He feared that the privi lege intended to be given to our banks would act Mr. Mann presented an amendment propouiu to tax to the amount of capital invested in small notes J of 1 per cent He said he was oppos-d to the issue of small notes generally, but as the hanka of States ioininar.os issued small notes, he thonght ours ought to e allowed the privilege also, so that if there vras anything to be made at it: it should be made bv our own banks. He would inform the gentlemen, that we would not pass an act similar to that of "Virginia until our nroduf-e was sh'pped through our own ports.

The matl bills would be kDt in circulation, and . where thev circulated, the specie would but seldom be demanded for them unless it wss by some person ! who was about to emigrate, and wished tq convert . his bills into hard roeney.
