3 rn SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1S41 (QOn Thursday last, Solomon T. Braddy was re elected Clerk of the Supe rior Court of this county, and John Nor fleet, Clerk of the County Court. There was no organized opposition to either. We shall publish in our next, the official statement of the votes in the several dis tricts for Cletks, and also in regard to com mon Schools. (JThe last Raleigh Register contain a Tabular Statement published by the Pre sident am! Directors of the Literary Fund, exhibiting the amount to which each coun ty is entitled on the 1st inst. for the estab lishment of Common Schools. The ag gregate amount to be distributed is So 1,60$ onof which tbi county's proportion is 451,077 67. The Regis'.er also i emarks: The annual income of the Literary fund, however, is not to be estimated by the sum now distributed, because the Act did not. go into operation until the 1 Uh of January last, and therefore did not ine'ude the Rank and other Dividends dee'ared for the preceding six mouths. The period embraced in the distribution now made, is only five months. At the next, and each succeeding division of the annual proceeds of the Fund, the sum to be distributed will not fall short, probiblv, of Si 00,000.

Now the gentleman would throw the land to the States, and the compromise to the dogs lie s dd the Whigs bad made a new par ty, and if they wished to cut asunder, he was content. He stood upon the Consti tution. He should carry out the princi ples that he and the Whigs professed be lore the people; and if he was to die of ab stractions, that was a matter for himself and his constituents. He could not see what the people who elected Hanison and Tyler approved of, that they did not dis approve in the rejection of the gentleman from Massachusetts. He thought no man hould change his principles because he .handed his position; such a doctrine would mil milieu above principle. He read the W hit's a lcctuic for reading him out of church, and thought a little more charity and principle would not huit them.

Previous to its passage, the following amendment proposed by Mr. Clay was en grafted on the Bill by a majority of 1: "And the said directors may also cstab lish one or more competent offices of dis count and deposite in any territory or dis trictofthe United States, and in any State, with the assent of such State; and when es tablished, the said office or offices shall not be removed or withdrawn by the said di rectors prior to the expiration of the char ter, without the previous as-ent of Con gress: Provided, in respect to any State which shall not, at the first session of the Legislature thereof held after the passage o( this act, by resolution or other usual le gislative proceeding, unconditionally as sent or dissent to the establishment ef such office or offices within it, the assent of th" said State shall thereafter be presumed; and provided, nevertheless, that whn it shall become necessaiy and proper for car rying into execution any of the powers granted in the Constitution, to establish an office or offices in any of the States whatev er, and the establishment whereof shall be directed by law, it shall be the duty of the said directors io es'ablish such office or offices accordingly." In the House of Representatives, on the 28th, several petitions were presented, and among the rest one by Mr. Adams, from sundry citizens of Wheeling. Virg. , praying Congress to buy up all the free negroes and send them out of the country. In a recent debate in the Houe: Mr. Gilmer of Virg nia said the com promise act must not be disturbed. lie thought the tariff should be left alone until the next sesion. He went against the distribution bill, which he said was destin ed tolling, hang, until it was dead, in the Senate. He thought he was a Whig be fore he came here, but he began to doubt it now. He stated what the Whig princi ples were. "No proscription for opin- ion sake," was one of their greatest prin ciples one that rang louder and deeper through the land than any other; but how had it been carried out? He hoped that the Whig party here now would not pro scribe a Whig President for opinion's sake; that would be ridiculous indeed. He said the Whig party was formed in 1333, but. the President was of an older date. He had fought the good fight he h&d kept the faith and finished his work and now he was found fault with by the party, be cause he would not turn Turk or Mahome dan afier he was elected. He said the Constitution was an abstrac tion in the minds of -ome people. "Hon esty was the best policy," was an abst Tac tion in the opinion of the highway robber, who went for the lines of the old song "The good ld ruie, ti)C Ajmpie plan.

Our University. It gives us pleasure to slate that, never before, was the prospects of our University so flattering. The pre sent Session has opened so auspiciously, that the Executive Committee have lr en compelled, in order to accomodate the Stu dents conveniently, to contract for the immediate erection of two additional build ings, to be used as dormitories. The building will contain, each eight, rooms, and the undertakers have stipulated to de liver them finished by the fiit of January next. It is exceedingly gratifying to observe, that our citizens begin more and more to appreciate the advantages offered to them in the education of their children by our Home Institutions. Formerly, it was so fashionable to undervalue every thing t home, that many Parents thought the edu cation of their children could not be ac complished short of Yale or Harvard. But this miserable taste and worse policy has become exploded, and due justice is now rendered to our native literature ami Institutions.

The vote of either would have defeated the bill. Ii was carried at last by the vote of Mr. Preston, who notoriously violates the al most unanimous public sentiment of his State. Will the President sanction a bill thus worked through the Senate, by what Mr Randolph would term black-leg manage ment and containing, as il does beyond all quest ion, a full assertion of the pover to impose branches on the Stales which has been again and again pronounced by the President a downright violation of the Con stitution of the United States? We think not. On our return home from the Senate, we were greeted by a letter from a great man six hundred miles distant, whose ken we have often found reached beyond all others, which makes an assertion on this point. We have frequently found his as sertions, prophecies, ami we publish the following as of that character, and leave it to be tested by the. luture: "Clay will gct his Bank bill passed, Tyler wilt veto From a Catalogue, now in preparation of the Alumni, we will be able to present many facts that cannot fail to make a deep impression on the public mind.

"As you were." Mr. Secretary Ew ing's subordinate in the General Land office, remo'. ed fourteen Clerks one day last week, because they were Democrats. As soon as the fact was made known to President Tyler, he removed them back again- replacing them in the offices they had just vacated. If Mr. Kwing had possessed the spirit ot a grasshopper, he would instantly have resigned. It seems that the President had given or ders that there should be no removals from office, without charges were made and pro 674 Of the 674 Graduates, 70 have entered upon the Gospel Ministry.
