The portrait of a sad faced man hangs from the walls of the Dialectic Society at the university. The picture is that of Archibald OeBow Murphey, of Orauge, whose devotion to his native state has made his name, uttered within the bounds of North Carolina, a synonym for patriotism. He was born in Cas well county in 1777. His preparation for college was received under Rev. Dr. David Caldwell, of Guilford. Books and libraries were scarce articles in those pioneer days of our histc , and when yoang Murphey entered the State Uni versity in bis twenty-first year, and the second of the University's existence, his li brary consisted of three works, Voltaire's history of Charles XII. of Sweden, a soli tary volume of Roderick Random, aad Don Quixote. In spite of his inability to cultivate his literary tastes in bis earlier days, he graduated at the head of his class in three years, and immediately thereafter became profesor of modern languages in the yaung university which had just granted him his diploma.

He had an intense desire ta better the in ternal improvements of the state. He cherished a plan for making North Car olina one of the formemost states in the union, by establishing after the old Ro man method a system of turnpike or macadamized road, all concentering at two or three important points for trade, believing that they would become popu lous cities. Borne of these trade centers were to be on the coast, and Judge Mur phey urged the enlarging and deepening the inlets from the ocean, and opening the coast rivers for navigation, finally he favored a powerful system of educa tion by the state, "first, primal y schools; second, academies for instruction in higher branches; third, by fostering the laniwaraitir anrl tvrjsti lir sai 1 arri n (T 1 1 si UP.

It was the first service held in the new edifice, corner College and Spruce streets, and the sermon was the first preached I iv Rev. J. L. White, since his call to the pastorate of this church. The service was held in the lecture room, which al though nearly us large as the old church, is small compared with the new church proper. Mr. White chose as the text of his dis course the second verse of the second chapter of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians: "For I am determined not to know any thing among you, save esus Christ, and linn crucilicd. "This is day of specialists," said Mr, White, "and to succeed one must have one sphere in lite. In professional, tenv peral and spiritual life this is true.

The state committee met this morning previous to the assembling of the convention for the purpose of settling contests. The protest of the Cooper union meet ing, with the resolution for the dissolu tion of today's convention, was received by the committee, and on motion of Bourke Cockran, by a unanimous vote, the protest and resolution were tabled. The convention was called to order by Chairman Edward Murphy, of the state committee, at noon. The crush was tremendous. Many delegates were shut out through the anxiety of the Albany people to get in. Without formality the chairman intro duced as temporary chairman Judge Geo. M. lieebe. Judge Beebe's reference to D. B. Hill as the leader under whom the democracy have never known disaster, dishonor or defeat, was the sentence of the address that warmed the blood of the delegates, and a shout that broke into a series ol yells burst from several thousand throats. The Hill club of Elmira waved its ban ner, and the flags of the other organiza tions slit and sawed the air as ther bear ers shouted and wave 1 simultaneously Following the speech of Mr. Beebe, Clerk Dcfreest called the roll of delegates. When the name of Lieutenant Governor Sheehan was called there was surprising shouts of applause almost equalling that uccorded the mention of Hill's name by Beebe, Committees on credentials, permanent organization, platform, and delegates were then selected.

His ideas of internal iiu provement were highly praised in an ar ticle in the North American Review in 1822, then edited by Edward Everett. At Judge Murphey s instigation, a Scotch engineer, Hamilton Fulton, em ployed at a salary of $6,000 yearly, lour times that of the governor, made sur veys and plots on land and sea. "The main features of the plan ot Mr. Mur phey, says Hon. W ilham A. uraham, woo studied law under mm, in an article in the University magazine lor lHj0-61, "and to which he obtained the approba tion of Mr. Fulton, alter the unprwve- roents of inlets, at Nag's head (if practic able), Ucracokc, Iieautort, bwansbor ough and Wilmington, consisted iuapen tne lor batteau uuvigntion the rivers Koanoke, lar, Nense, Lane rear, aa kin, Catawba, liroad and sundry tribu taries, and by cunals to join the Kouu oke and lur or 1 aiulico, nnd rteuse so as to shiu productions Irom the country watered by eacb ot tuem Irom Beautort; and to unite by similar means the Cape Fear wits '.be Lumber river, and at a more northerly point with the Yadkin, and the Yadkin with the Catawba, so as to bring to the mouth of the Cape tear tbe commerce ot our whole water shed trending Irum the Blue Kidge, except thut of Broad river, (which was to be opened into Setuth Carolina) and thus making commercial marts ot rayette- ville and Wilmington. Places and sec tiaus more remote Irom these waters were to be supplied by roads." Ol course the unloicsecn uselulness ol railroads would hareeventually rendered useless the greater part of the work rec ommended bv ludge Murphey, yet we cannot but admire the patriotic desire on his part to increase our state g im- nortaace commercially. 1 lie maps and reports which were obtninedas a result ot the $50,U0U actually siient in the pre liniinary work of this vast undertaking were tully worth that exiienditure. Judge Murphey's love for the old com mon wealth led him to undertake the col lection of material for a state history His state-wide acquaintance, especially among the revolutionary veterans, and bis love of literature and historical re search, rendered him the most suitable man for this dutv. His letter to Gen Joseph Graham, of Lincoln, July 20th. 1821, breathes forth his patriotic spirit "Your letter to Col.

He impressed everyone ns n man ot intensest earnest ness, thorough consecration fort lie work in his Master's cause. He is of com mantling pulpit presence, and talks with an energy which holds the attention of every listener from the rending of the text to the pronouncing ot the benedic tion.
