In introducing the bill, to esta blish a Political College for the State of North-Carolina, Mr. Pot ter, we arc informed, (for we were not present.) made a long and elo quent Speech, in the course of which, he introduced some severe personal allusions on certain known characters in this State, as well as high-wrought panegyrics on others, From the Fayeltcville Journal. On Monday last, (says bur cor respondent,) Mr. Potter of Hali fax, came out with his bill to esta blish, what he styles', a Political College; it contains CJG sections. It gives power to the Legislature to appoint a Rector and six Visit ers, and directs an appropriation of 820,000, for the purchase of a farm and buildings for the recep tion of the apprentices. A Pre sident and ftmr Professors arc to be appointed, and from each county is to be sent, at least, one apprentice, and over that number, in proportion to t lie taxes paid with many other details. Mr. Pot ter made an opening Speech of one hour and a half in length. I did not hear him, but I understood that ho dealt much in personali ties, and made an attack on three of our members of Congress, and woolens and, "a bill to regulate the commercial intercourse be tween the United States and G.

As these are based on the for the voluntary bankruptcy of Puhc will and regulated by the public classes, other than merchants and traders;) the motion was finally rejected. Mr. Burgcs, in his speech in support of the bill for the relief of the survivors of the Revolution, states, that the several emissions of paper money by the Continen tal Congress, from June 22, 1775, to Nov. 29, 1779, amounted to $200,000,000, young gentlemen in skating, rootpas-j-engers crossed the river fur one or two lays upon the ice a circumstance that has not occurred before, within the re collection of any inhabitant of this town."

RICKS. TT.l'f .. . T , ijamax county, Jan. v, voice, "that will and that voice to be righteous must be enlightened." The rapid advancement of this country in every branch of national prosperity -in the increase of her population, the ex tension of her commerce, the improve ment of her system of agriculture, and the cultivation of the arts and sciences, is the source of proud exultation to every American bosom. But the North-Carolinian must go farther; the improvement of his own State, her rising importance in the national scale, is a subject of just congratulation, and calls upon her sons to redouble their exertions to advance her prosperity and happiness. The Ed itors believe that t attain these desira ble objects nothing can contribute in a greater degree than the frequent and ex tensive circulation of a well conducted newspaper; for, although our academies and colleges afford ample means of ac quiring a competent knowledge of the first principles of education; vet none will pretend to deny that it is from news papers alone that information relative to passing events, is to be obtained. As the world grows older, events multiply upon us; and they have already accumu lated to such an extent as to render it impracticable to give even a summary of all that is interesting in a weekly paper. In order, therefore, to facilitate the promulgation of useful knowledge, the Editors have determined, should it meet public approbation, to commence, as ear ly as practicable, the publication of a paper twice a week; and as all the pa pers in this State, with the exception of one only, are printed but once a week, they calculate, with some degree of cer tainty, on success. The advantages to be derived from such a publication will readily be estim ated by our enlightened and discerning fellow-citizens. It will be the means of giving earlier intelligence of every im portant circumstance, foreign and domes tic; of presenting a more general view of things at home and things abroad; of enabling us to devote more of our paper to the interests of the farmer; of srivinn: a more detailed and satisfactory account of our legislative and congressional pro ceedings; and, in short, of publishing a greater variety of matter, thereby afford ing our columns the advantage of suiting the taste of every class of readers. The attention of the citizens of the State, and our old friends and patrons particularly, is respectfully invited to this subject. Our project must stand or fall on the extension or withholding of their patronage. TERMS.
