A message was received from the Senate, to add the tiame of Lemuel Sawyer to the nomination ot Uoun- cillors. 3 By a concurrence of both houses, a committee .was appointed for conso lidating into one, all the bills before the General Assembly lor restoring persons to Credit A messarje was received from his Excellency the Governor, inclosing a general return of the Militia of this State. Mr. Richardson, from the ballot ing committee for a Scnatbiv report ed there were 81 votes for Stokes, 75 for Franklin' and 17 for Smith, that no one having a majority, ano ther balloting was necessary. Mr. Home, from the balloting for Councillors for.the ensuing year, reported that Lemuel Sawyer, Reu ben Wood, John Ingles, Theophilus Hunter, Robert- Burton and John Branch were elected. Mr. Knight presented a bill ma king compensation to the4 county court jurors of Richmond county, and for other purposes1 ;' which, together with A bill received from the Senate, to amend an act passed in 1741, for the better observation of the Lord's Day, and for the mbre effectual sup pression of vice and immorality, re ceived it first reading. Received from the Seriate, the re-port-of-omittee,:; to 'whom was referred a resolution directing Ahem to enquire into the duties and salary of the Public Printer, and also a bill to economize in the expence of the Public Printing. This report recom mended the rejection of this bill, and thepassingof one which they reported ascertaining the duties and salary of the public printer.1 The report, after- some objections made to it by Messrs. Nash, Pearson and Mask, and some defence-of it by Mr. Low rie, was concurred in. The reported bill was then read, ani after some objections made and repelled, it passed its first reading. This bill keeps the salary as heretofore, hut makes it the duty of the Printer to execute nil the bu siness of the session, such as print ing the Rules, Bills, Resolutions, Messages, &c. without making any extra charge therefor. This busi ness was formerly charged from lop to 1251. but latterly from 70 to75l. which is consequently equal to a de duction of the Printer's Salary to that amount. : (the order of the clay being calted for on the bill to repeat an act to re peal so much of the several laws now in force as grants power to the Trustees of the University 'to seize and possess any escheated and con fiscated property, thebill was read, and being put upon its second reading, Mr. Knight moved -.to amencl tlae bill, by striking out the word confis cated, so as to confine the bill te es cheated property. ' Mr. J. G. WnicHT saidj the pro per way to amnd the bill would be to insert the words, " so far as re spects escheated- property," in the title of it, and to strike out the whole of the last clause. -Agreed. "Mr. M mjr ice Moore. It has been four years since5 the Legisla ture passed-the bill taking from the University, the escheated property, which by a former act was vested in it. . - ; A bill for the repeal of this act has regularly every session since appear ed upon' your table j and has as re- gularly been rejected. It is with the utmost deferenre and respect for the5 opinion nd up- right intentions of our predecessors, that I propose to the House rtbe re consideration. body ui iu a- lcffisiauve vwd Ji,: r -.nWt- t iVft '.- nw i'v9W i(y?uic mestimi i like an mchvtdud, subject to .

But for this, the grant of the Uni versity, if a burthen, would stijl have oppressed us, 4nd its wpeal, if an error, could only now be looked at with impotent regret. Surely there never was a time at which this power of repeal could have been more pro nerlv exercised, than at the present ; or a finer opportunity have offered it- self, for the display ofour patrioti.m, than that which the warm auppojt of m-,nt ll affords the obiecr of which is the destruction of igno rance and the extension of learmng to all classes of society. I am hot one of those who are ready to heap epithets oh all who differ from me in opinion, or to attribute the opposi tion which this institution has met with, to minds poisoned by igno rance or inimical to learning. Far from it. fl am confident that the f..;unr!t a f.r.m Fth TTniv.ritv unite at last in one point, and that the sole distinction between them is? ; in the different views thr-v take of the m k:. t. : :.;k- ;V same should be otherwise ; for this House cannot furnish an instance of a single individual, who has not either felt the advantages of learning, or has regret- ted the want of it. The causes, though diametrically opposite, are nrrtdimtivi- r the m t-fc tbo tend in the same striking manner to evinCe" mestliiiuwx: woi ur, mm ro draw from every patriotic breast ' the warmest and most ; anxious wishes for its genei-al dissemination. It was Science which took man by the hand in his dark. and dreary state of na tnrei which taught him to leave the piecarious trhasc, the hollow jree dr hut of barkr for the comforts 6f civU nzeci uie : wncn tauRnr mm to irace with vonderand delight, 'the move: ment of those heavemy bodies wlirch had so often disturbed his nights, and chilled his soul with terror ; sublimated his mind, to view in the works of nature, with reverence "and awe, the omnipotent han of an all c reat'ng Providence. Consolidated in one opinion .as to the usefulness of science, and united in our wishes for its general diffusion, the point of se paration is the means which shall be adopted for carrying our views into effect. A diversity of opinion is insepara ble' from the human character, and as it has pleased the great Disposer ,of all things so to have ordered It, we are fortunate in his hiyirig, at the same time, furnished us. with ca pacity to discern, and virtue to, pursue h nnr7Whirh tdcn i-L;? out, however adverse to our wishes. On this I found my hopes. I address a deliberative bodv, ready to retract its errors, and speak inn caussb ported bvvrcason and mstice.
