las' circular of the Committee. Af the Executive Committee of the Trustee of the UnWej-sUj hare recent! y tent out a Circular, calling the attention of the people of the State to the condition of that Institution, it may not be. amis to seize the opportunity in furtherance of the same object, to offer a few remaiks upon some of the topics contained in that do ,Jljnfrtntr the University as the property of the Stat, in. which all the hv aomraon interest, it it de- .iratd that its adrantaees for education, and its condition, should be more gene rally known. For this reason, we are lad to see thit Circular sent forth, and o sincerely Tiop it may have the effect to awaken a spirit of inquiry to the gen eral subject of Education, and the parti cnlar condition of the Institution. A common regard tor aeucacy, u may perhaps be thought, should allow the Cir cular to speak for itself, and that which cannot be approved should be passed oyer in silence. Were it a communication from an individual at the head of a pri vate establishment, this might be duty. But coming as this Circular does, from the Guardians of a public Institution, and that too a State Iustitution, it is to be considered as a public document, which every man has a right to examine, ap- . - . A prove, or condemn, at he may Judge duty requires, .we ueem h, msremrc, uuc cessary to offer any apology for bringing the subject before the Public. The Trus tees are the Representatives of the Peo ple, fctheir,acts,like the acts of all other Representatives,; are property held liable to revision, i But let it not be supposed our purpose is to endeavor to stifle the effect which j the Circular was intended to produce. ! Instead of suppressing, we would rather give a fresh impulse, and if possible, stimulate to further inquiry. The Circular (contains an intimation that the people are in fault, for it com plains that while tbey are in possession of the best advantages for education at home, they are sending their sons abroad at the expense of degrading their own State. Whether the Circular does not in this case presume too much upon the knowledge of the people about the affairs : cf the .University, is, to say the least, a matter of question. That there is such an Institution as the University of North Carolina is perhaps known to most of the inhabitants of the State, but what are its advantages, what its condition, and what its prospects-these are subjects, on which, few, perhaps, have made much inquiry. Were the people to be informed that (here is an Institution of learning in North Carolina on which. the Legislature has expended nearly 300,000 dollars having at the present time larger funds tban any College North of New York, with one exception, it would probably create surprise with some. And were an impartial observer to be informed that with all this I array of means, and among & population! of more than 700,000 mhab. itants, the a,t one time Lnstitution could not muster a hundred students, he pro- baWy would. conclude the people either had no iustLsehse of the importance of education, Or that the Institution was unworthy of their confidence. The latter inference, the Circular entirely rejects. And we are happy in being able to add our testimony to that of the Committee, so far as th0 Faculty are concerned. We believe them to be abundantly competent; that they arii ardently devoted to the in terns ts'of the Institution, and that under circumstances less inauspicious, they would raise jit to high standing; and ren der it the ipride and ornament of the State. . r .."' Vhaterer reason may be tven for the limited reputation of the University, we do not believe that any part of the blame can be attached to the Faculty. This the Circular admits, but at tbe same time intimates, that the whole difficulty is to . be charged to the people. (To this general assuroption, we beg ttaveto demur, for we suppose, and shall endeavor toj show, that there are causes in operation, apart froua the indifference of the people, hich justly occasions dis trust. While thtse exist, there will be a lack of patronage, at least with some. However untiring the Faculty may be in their efforts, 'they will be subject to the mortification of nresidinc over a crinnUd Institution,1 till other remedies, than a mere excitement of Public attention, are provided. " f " In attempting to follow the suggestions of the Circular, abroad field opens before us. vy e are aware that we cannot sneak out without incurring the hazard of touch ing tender feelings, and yet not to speak with plainness, would be to leave many important things untouched. We roust ask indulgence, therefore, and beg p don if any strictures we mav haoner offer, may appear to' ceuaire any of the doings, of the overseers of the Institution. We hav said that it is not our purpose to endeavor to stifle the eflect which the pupucation or the Circular was intended to produce. Yet we deem it proper, and due to the public as wall as to the Com mittee, to make a few passing remarks UF.

Ut this oewnpun, there are in this Circular more ct... than one ; sentences, which require no ordinary keenness of intellectual pene tration to understand. . There is one in particular, which, oH account of the im portance of the information communica ted, ought not to escape attention. We allude to a regulation implicating the parent and guardian as well as the Stu dent. A debt contracted without permis sion, renders the Student liable to pun ishment, and the payment of such a debt, however honest, is to be toljoweu oy dis mission, and that whether paidbyStu deut, Parent, or Guardian Whether the good people of the State will consent to be thus unceremoniously ostracised, and forced to refuse the 'payment of a just-debt, contracted in an evil hour bv an unfortunate Son, is a point, which wo hope will not soon be brought to the test ot experiment. And we would take the liberty of gravely advising every pa rent and guardian, who. has a Son or Ward at the University, to be peculiarly careful about meddling with his affairs, lest the iniquity of the Father be visited . . r .- 1 .1 il.- - .1 upon ihe on, anu wiu iuu pc.e aim harmony of the Institution be disturbed s " by new controversies arising from expe- r . . a-.i rimeius aoout irapuiru iraiigicaiuu. There is, however, one other paragraph of the Circular, which deserves a graver notice. We allude to that, which speaks of the "Seductive" influence tf other Colleges upon this," The Qomimtteesay that it is a fact, which 'ought not to be disguised ,that those Colleges at the rvorto, I which have received the largest share of Southern patronage, have, within a. few years, so far relaxed in their terihs of ad mission, as in enect to oner a premium of the most seductive character to many of our vouth for the desertion of their domestic Institutions., Waivingthe facts in the case, what is the complexion of this sweeoins: eharse r Why, obviou that our young men, mistaking the shadow w . .." for the substance, are allured away to other Institutions under the expectation of securing the honors ot Loliege with out the fatigue of toiling tor, them. , A poor compliment this to the. gooxl sense of the Sons of North Carolina, and still poorer to the good sense of the Parent, wuo preters mat ins aqn snoutu oe sent into the world with a mere show of edu cation, when, at a cheaper rate, he might have the real it v. But further, in what situation does this paragraph place the University in relation to other Colleges both at the North and the South f Is she so immaculate, that she is ready to take uo the stone and cast it at any, or all those Institutions, that a,re titus prac . . . .. . . . t'laino Ll;r BPilnrtivP art ynon hpr liio-h tising their seductive arts upon uer nign- I tninueu purity r is sue prepareu ex ca Ihedrot to summon all her sister Institu tions to come and do homage at her feet? or like Procrustes will she undertake to reduce every one to an exact measure, and to say that no one . shall teach more, or less, or in a different manner than she is pleased to direct ? This word "Se ductive" is a strong expression. It con veys an intimation of high ciimiDality an intimation which, under other circum stances, would call forth a degree of in dignation that- scarcely even Christian humility could suppress. But what is the fact?. We are told in a subsequent paragraph, which we suppose was introduced by way of proof, that three young men are to be graduated at oilier Colleges this year, with the highest honors, who went from the Univerity. Suppose it is so, and what does it snow r ror aught that appears, the three best in the Univer sity, are the three best elsewhere or dis- sausneu wun meir privileges nere, tney tiave gone out to other Institutions, where, under new influences, they have been in spired with new ardor,' and have' become lifferent men. But it is said, the Colleges have relaxed their terms of admission. What Colleges? We profess to know something about this subject, and-if such is the tact, as alleged, it is new to us. Un the crontrarv, we do know, that in many ot the colleges, the re verse is true. Columbia College in bouth- Carolina has within two years nearly doub led the amount of her requisitions. The Colleges of New England have repeatedly witnin a tew years aaaeu to tne amount ot preparatory studies, and, instead of relax ing, nave introuucea an increased rigor in the examination of candidates for admission. That individuals are occasionally admitted, who are but imperfectly prepared, is un doubtedly true. It is true also in relation to the University. ' But, whoever thought of charging upon the University the crime of seductive influence, because she may have secured within her walls individuals who ought to have been rejected? Is it a matter of surprise, that individuals should sometimes find admission, who, on a more thorough acquaintance, are found unwor thy? The Faculty can at best judge but inaperfectly from such tion as must necessarily be had at the usual J uuw ut new aumtssion8. A certificate of character and standing from the prepara tory Teacher, with whom the candidate has long been connected, is a i muck better criterion than thej usual examination at the time of admissionj Without such &; cer tificate, no individual can gain admission to a Northern College, while at our Uni versity such & certificate ia not demanded, if we are rightly informed, j.

But while we thus far aporoye. we venture to ask, was u uecorous . Commirteeto thrust forward their own Uni versity, as above all others, ibitiDg; an example of wisdom on this subject? Was it commendable to make an invidious com parison, even by insinuation, and tnus pru voke against her, the contempt or ridicule of othpr kind I red Institutions? The Com mittee have, in our opinion, while aiming a "I nn Inn annthaf 1 Iteif to avoiu one evu, r" -insinuations in relation to other Colleges, brought forward in comparison with their own Institution, will do her as raucb dis- the a Da thy of the people is rlnincr at home. We hope, however, thatl the Circular may oe cuu"u whum own State rat least, that it may not mu in to the hands of the Directors of any of the proscribed Institutions, lest they should take it upon themselves to institute some new degree, and send it as a mark of their respect to our honorable Committee for their cleverness, good sense ami decorum in the Circular, which they have issued tor the benefit of the Uuiversity of North Carolina. 4 Should any be disposed to thiuk we do nnt rM fhp linnnmhle Committee with all the respect due to their high standing, we offer them an apology in the words of the Roman historian, "JYlagnos notmnts vir- tute metimur, tion fortuna. " AS we may hereatter notice some oi uie regulations mentioned in the Circular for the government of the University, we seize this opportunity to state as;ain, that in re- taiion to tne present, ana to any umig mai may be said in future, we have no other than the most trtendly teeungs towards tnai Institution. Interested, in common with other citizens, in its welfare, we wish to see it built up, and we rejoice in its pros- Ipertty. Convinced, however, as we are, that there are deeply-rooted defects con nected with the Institution, and that there are causes in operation, which if not re moved, will always impair confidence, and prove an incubus to its prosperity, we may ileem it a duty to pursue the subject, not with the intention to provoke hostility, but. to second the enorts ot the gentlemen who have' issued the Circular. C. Virginia Legislature. I We are indebted to the Editors of the Richmond Compiler and Petersburg Intelligencer, for Slips by the Express HVfail, containing the Message of Gov. Campbell to the Legislature of Virginia which possesses so much interest at this time, that we lay it before Our readers : Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of Delegates The sudden and unexampled reverse which has occurred in the currency and business of the coun try, in the view which I have taken of the subject, made it my duty, under the Constitution, to convene you before the period of the annual session. The resolutions of the Banks to suspend specie payments -the penalties incurred thereby by some of them. and the difficulties likely to arise in the collection of the public revenue, furnish the grounds for the a: i l ;-u"," piuuocuuig uuuer wuicn you are assem- bIed A 8tate of th- mdst unfevorabIe to the in dastry and prosperity of the country, has unexpect edly come upon us, requiring, as I humbly conceive, the early and solemn consideration of the General Assembly. The Bank of Virginia, th Farmers' Bank of Vir ginia, the Bank of the Valley, and the Merchants' and Mechanics' Bank of Wheeling have severally suspended specie payments. The North Western Bank, at the date of the latest accounts, continued to meet iU engagements with punctuality, and is the only banking institution in the Commonwealth which has not been compelled to seek protection a- gainst the pressure of the times in suspension of payments. 1 he Bank of Virginia declared the re solution on the 15th day of May j on the day after, tne example was followed by the Farmers' Bank. Belore this step was taken, and even before it ap pears to have been anticipated, it had been resorted to by the Banks of the large commercial cities of j the North. Subsequently and in cmick succession. 1 Bank after Bank has followed the example set first in the City of New York, and now there is scarcely 11 11 . . . . a uuis 01 large capital ana extended operations m any part ot tne Union, which redeems its notes in specie. It was not to be expected that the Banks of this Commonwealth those of them at least whose issues had been largely and widely diffused could long continue to pay specie after the Banks of the Nor thern and Eastern cities had resolved to withhold it. Prior even to the declaration of the Northern Banks, specie was at a premium, and had become an ar ticle of traffic ; and the demands for it, and the pre mium it would command, were sure to be increased , and in point of fact, were increased, by the determ ination of those Banks to close their vaults. As a consequence, large and increasing demands would be made upon our Banks, to redeem their notes and nquiaate oaiances : and their ability to meet aiir.h demands was diminished by having the chance of supply from that quarter denied to them. It was apparent that the Banks of this Commonwealth, (I refer especially to the two DrinciDal institutional would be brought at least to a denial of specie a course of rigorous collection, whilst it would have aggravated greatly the public distress, could at most hare but delayed the evil dav and the banks were reduced to the necessity of choosing between a sus pension of payments, as a measure of precaution, and of losing their supply without hpingabla effec tually to resist the run which would be made upon thm. The former alternative was recommended by the examples of other banks by considerations of impartial justice towards every creditor by the embarrassment in which their debtors were unei pectedly involved, and the final security of meir debts and was the course apparently best calcula ted to avoid agitation and alarm, and to enable them to assist in correcting the derangement which had occurred in our pecuniary concerns. Whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the cause, there can be but one opinion respect ing the reality and extent of the pubhc distress. Failures for unexampled amounts have occurred confidence, and with it, the immense credit which it upheld, is gone: the price of every agricultural pro duct has declined; and in a time of peace, and in the absence of physical calamity, the whole country is uneasy and anxious about the future. Patience, economy and industry a reliance upon themselves, and the exertion of these sturdy virtues, will enable our citizens to recover speedily from their embar rassments, and thus afford the only sure resource against the evil which are experienced, and the best ; defence against their recurrence hereafter.

The system: of banking has been long since introduced, and we nnd it fixed up on us. The Commonwealth is largely interestea m the stocks of our banking institutions, through' the fundi for internal improvement, and the literary fundi and the stock which is thus held, is a part of tne se curity which has been pledged to the holders of the public debt. "Bank paper has long performed all th purposes of currency, and by the hoioers o it, tue poor and the rich, is counted as money The mer chants and traders of our towns hve been accus tomed to look to the Banks for facilities and aid ; and through their instrumentality it Was, they have been enabled to make their purchases of the planter and Farmer. It would surely be unwise, inii period of difficulty, and when private credit is in need of unusual facilities, to put down institutions which are so incorporated with every public and individual in terest, aud from which it would result as an imme diate consequence, thai the difficulties of paying would be augmented, whilst the debt to bo paid would be increased. There are those who would have no Banks, either State or Federal, and are for enforcing an exclusive metalb'c circulation. The project, in the actual condition of the country, I be lieve to be wholly impracticable, and the agitation of it at this period, could have no other effect than still! further to derange the business, and oppress every interest in the community. jnd I consider it of the highest importance to maintain the credit of the State Banks, as forming, under proper regula tions, the only practical substitute for a U. S. Bank and their preservation affords the only defence against the dangerous scheme of a powerful and overshadowing national institution. If the Banks are not relieved, : the revenue a- mounting on an average to upwards of four hundred thousand dollars annually, cannot be paid except in specie. The amount of gold and silver would be j temporarily withdrawn from circulation, at the very time when it would be most wanted in the country to enable the people to carry on their pucunlary transactions. . ,J5! SfP.' kicanjr uiu rsuik oi causes wmcu, siiue uuie, wicy cou)d not control, and which in common with large portion of our fellow-citizens, they did not fore- see, they are surely entitled to the indulgent con- Bideration of the General Assembly, and indulgence to them seems to be alike demanded by. a proper re gard to the general welfare. In addition to what 1 ha vie before briefly suggested, it should be remem bered that the crop of tobacco of the present year, as am informed, is, to a large exteat, unsold, and thej crop of wheat will soon be matured. The crop of tobacco, owing to the decline from former prices, and the limited demand for it, or rather, the difficul ties' which are experienced in raising money to. pur chase it, has come with unusual slowness to market. It will indeed be difficult for the planters and far mers to dispose of their crops, if the banks shall be unable or be prohibited from affording facilities to tbei purchasers in their negotiations. Besides, the evils which would be felt at home, by any obstacles in we way oi tne sale of these great staples, there would be a large reduction from the amount of bur foreign exports, which it is important to encourage, with a view to satisfy the heavy balance against us, and the reduction of which can alone remove the demand for specie. " Impressed with the soundness and importance of thepe general views, I venture respectfully to recom mend to the General Assembly, to relieve the banks from the penalties and disabilities incurred by them, and to authorize, for a limited neril. thesnnaion of specie payments. The measure is eamestlv de- sired by a large portion of the community ; it will hate the effect of re-establishing confidence, and must sensibly mitigate the severity of the times. 'Pk ;e '.a. t -i 1 .11 1 . 4 vuncutjf, it 11 can oe cnangea at an, anu it ds wise to attempt it, can be changed with safety only by! slow and measured alterations. Injustice, as well as great loss, must attend any sudden"and radi- cali attempts at alteration. At the same time that the banks are relieved from their disabilities, and continued in the enjoyment of their corporate privi- leges, great care should be taken to guard against abuses and to secure the resumption of specie pay ments at the earliest possible period. The exten sion of the issues, as that would retard specie pay ments, should be carefully avoided. The longer the suspension continues, the ereater will be the difficulty in recovering from it, and the more we shall be in danger of a permanently disordered and progressively depreciatine currency. It is a matter ot great moment to the public, and it is important - . . . the community, to guard against a disordered and depreciated currency, and there is no security amdnst . mcj nuuiu preserve meir creoii wita me miscniei out oy a rigid fulfilment of their duties under the laws, by the payment of specie.
