The bill waa then rejected on ita aecond read, ing. Tha hill to incorporate the Caldwell Institute waa taken op for consideration, when Mr. Gilmer moved that tha title of tha bill be amended, by striking out the word "Caldwell" and inserting "Wil on." Mr. W admix, in a speech of some length wpposed the motion, and advocated the passage of the bill, in which ha pre. sented the reaaona why this new charier waa asked. When we entered the Hall, he was giving a statement of tha ciream stances under which the instil o tion was removed from Greensborough to the town of Hillsborough, : and the neceity whieb therefore existed for a new charter or an amendment to the former charter correa ponding with tha change of location, lie elated that, the Presbytery of Orange, a bodv of Christiana distinguished for their intelligence and piety, under whose pat. ronage the, institution was established at Greenaboroog'i, for the noble purpo.c ol encouraging , letters and useful . learning, had (after, perhaps, aix month notice of an intention to submit the question to ihoir consideration) met and reeolved te remove it to Hiliaborough; that their reason- for jhia change, waa,. the alleged unhealthinsss of Greeasborougbt thst it waa not hia bui neea to decide aa to the correctness of the opinion which prevailed in that body with regard to the health of that townthough his own opinion was, it was erroneous; that waa n matter with which the 8snate had nothing to do. Tbe question for Sen atom to decide waa, simply, whether the Presbytery had Rot a right to remove their institution to such place as, in their judg ment, would best promote ita interest and usefulness, snd whether it was not right and proper for tha Legislature to grant them, in tbia change, foevthe very aame reason which induced Uiem lo great tbe 6m act f iacorporaliwef, the privileges whieli rv- necessary enable them to carry cut thr-ir origin d deign? This they could not do, onder tha formet charter, a that gave the corporation, it law, existence only InQreeMboroagk. t He read from a letter fram a dietingoiehed individual coo. nected with tbe Insl.tntion, to shew, that in fad, all they now rlesired was to sob - .i . -..; r it; !.!, .k r . r ... tnute the name of Hi.Isborongh for Gicena borou2h.

Mr. G. add tluit ihe lru eauie f the rrmoval did not appear in th reaoluli -n. There wa no iiiat eaus.

Am idance thst the want of health afGraenabotV, waa not th cause of removal. Mr. G. remarked that lha catalogue at (tudenta in th Institute tbe vary last eeaaion numbered about 94 students, more than have been in th achool al any lime since its remo val la Udlelwro, and adverted to the fact that at tha vary Urn of thia removal under tb pratenca of a want of health, tb Methodiat Cnnfe'enco, (whoae itineraut miuielerstravel over the whole State, and bate extraordinary facilities of forming a knowledge of th health of each location.) wet locating their Femsl Colteee. in Oreeo.boro'. tt the cms of many ihusnds, and where rbey bsv one among the most flourishing aa I promising Female Colle ges in tb South the pride of their church an institution that arguea much for their piety and liberality. Tha aenalor from Orang is mistaken, when ba peak of the meeting at Ihe 'Haw Field" aa be ing th on when th removal waa determined on. That waa a meeting held a short time after the eea aion of Preabvtsry in Danvi-le. Tbe only question to be determined at thia me ing, ws whether Yan eeyville,' Oxford or HUbbir,--hul4 bsv -be achool.

The Senate then proceeded to the considera tion of the unfinished bualnra of yesterday, vis. tha motion made by Mr Gilmer, to amend the title of the bill to incorporate the Caldwell Institute, by attikfng out Caldwell snd insert ing the word Wilson." Mr. W addbll said it was not hia purpose to do what it was his purpose to do yesterday when lie yielded to a iratioa-.iL,.AdjaurnmeuL Jiis.fr.iend. trom Guilford had tlicn given way tn at warmth of feeling and indulged in a course of remarks, in reflectinjr, the fee lings of others for they were certainly not hisown which he deeply regretted. He felt no further interest in the matter than that which sprung from a desire to see harmony and good Teeling prev-atJ in all social and religious associations, and justice administered to all partiea He did not belong to the holy, respectable body of christians, whoa course had been so severely comdemned. Being an impul sive man himself, he could make allow ance for the feeling manifested by those who labored under real or imaginary wrong; but ha could hut regret that hia friend from Guilford had thought proper to bring forward before the Senate the wrangling, fends and bickerings of those who should, by their example, teach peace and friendship and goodwill to the world: and that under the feelings and prejudi cea thus engendered, he had suffered him self to violently, to atsail one ol hia own bodv, eo distinguished for his piety and usefulness the Rev. Dr. Wilson. He is as pare, elevated, learned and honorable a man. ss any iri North Carolina " lie dtf feicd from him in relittioui sentiments; but he had Jtnown him Jong, and there waa nothing to detract from his high and en viable character, as a gentleman, a scholar j and a christian. The course his friend from Guilford had been' prompted to pur sua, under the excited feeling which had unfortunately gained the ascendancy river Sis judgment he humbly conceived was indelicate and unjust. .Mr Waddelt then commented nn the naming given with re card to the removal of the institution from Hillsborough under the sttcpicies of its present head, who, he contended,' would not thus act without a good motive', and he did not beliey the Presbytery wonld permit the whim of one man to control them. He next spoke of the complaint of his friend, ihttt art attempt had ' been made to rob them of ibeir name Their name? .Whugavr the name to Guilford! - Waa.'. JJ Mr Caldwell,; who tnnghf the Grammar school? He had understood the name was given in honor of the Rev llr Jnaeph Uald well, who, havihg no child, made the State of North Carolina his child. He delivered a high and beautiful eulogy upon the char acter of Ur Caldwell, whose name he nev ver repeated, without exciting the war meet gratitude; and veneration of hia heart. He had had the honor of being taught by him four year. 'Hie name was honored not only in North Carolina, but throitehoul the country; in proof of which he related a touching incident.
