Mr. Howard: Dear Sir, through the medium
of your paper I wish to inform the citi7pns of !
Edgecombe county, that from a recent manoeu
vre among a certain set of men somewhere in
the county, which tends strongly to defeat my
election, and as 1 have not a very great thirst for
the office, and to rid myself of further trouble
about the matter, I request that my name be
stricken from the list of candidates in order to
make room perhaps for a better man, and one
who has more plausible claims to the office than
myself. N. II. RO UN TREE.

W c are also considerably startled to hear a pro
fessed "People's Advocate" urging that "the
people are not always the best judges of their
own interest and that the refusal of the people
to put their shoulders to the wheel for the ac
complishment of any object, "so far from afford
ing an argument against the interposition of the
Legislature, is the best that could be advanced in
favor of such interference." Assuredly these
doctrines are not of the old-fashioned democra
tic school and the Editor of the Constitutional
istin hisfceal for his favorite project, mut cer
tainly hav? overlooked their pernicious tendency:
He also makes an allusion to the New York
Grand Canal we are inr.tinpd to think, he will
find some difficulty in persuading the people of
this Mate tiat similar advantages may be expect
ed from connecting the Brushy Mountains with
the Swashas the New Yorkers are experiencing
from conceding the "vast inland seas" with
their Commercial Emporium. We are, howev
er, much 'ratified to find in his effusions a much
more liberal arid patriotic spirit, than breathes in
the recent Wilmington and Newbern resolutions
on the sane subiect. In conclusion we would
remark, that although it . may appear childish, if
"Bill resoles to go without his supper because
Tom's slice of bread and butter is larger than
his" yet it ivould seem reasonable for Bill to
object to scraping the butter off of his bread to
put on Tom's, although Tom advanced some
plausible arguments to persuade him that it made
no material difference who eat the butter, as they
were both members of l he same family.
fTThe citizens of Wilmington instructed
their Delegates to the Internal Improvement
Convention to protest airainst anv nlan which
may tend to carry the trade of North Carolina
into the adjoining States and the Newbern
meeting determined to concur in all such mea
sures as may be devised for the internal improve
ment ot that section of the Slate.
So we so.

Mr. Howard: How is it that we see
"no premonitory symptom's of a 4th of Ju
ly celebration in our (milk and water pa
triotic) village this year? Alas! the spi
rit of '76 has fled, and whither, oh whi
ther? To the land of the "nullies!" God
forbid it. Yet in the absence of that spi
rit, we, (a few obscure patriots of '33, in
the obscurity of this dead hour of the
night, not dark because illumined by the
silvery radiance of the lunar orb,) deem
U not amiss to hoist in front of the coun
ty capitol "the star-spangled banner,"

the appropriation of the funds of the State to the
construction of a Central Rail Road, upon the
ground that the' advantages resulting from it will
not be equal throughout the Slate. Now we are
as much perplexed to discover the similarity be
tween building li State House and constructing a
Kail Road, as the worthy Editor of the Consti
tutionalist is "puzzled to divine by what mode of
reasoning, or theory of logic, (we make) such
appropriations operate directly or indirectly up
on the pockets of the people." If these appro
priations were to be confined, as friend Ramsay
seems to intimate, to "the surplus funds in the
Treasury," "with an eye to a profitable return,"
they certainly would be less ohjectionableand

Our Universitv. Another overflow

both that a new spirit is awakening in fa
vor of the University, and that tin? Ad
dresses annually delivered, bv the dis
tinguished gentlemen who accept the ap
pointments and invitations of the Litera
ry Societies and of the Institute of Edu
cation, have un attraction which it was not
foreseen, would attach to them. The
houses of the village were thronged and
crowded until they would hold no more.
Sleeping was pretty much out of the ques
tion, they regarding themselves as fortu
nate who could secure a supply of the
other necessaries of life. The company
seem however to have borne the narrow
ness of their accommodations with much
patience and good humor. Among the
visiters, were Gov. Swain, and Ex-Gov-crnors,
Owen, Iredell, and Brandt.
We learn, through the kindness of a
friend, that on Wednesday, George E.
Badger, Esq. led the way in the exerci
ses of the occasion, in an Address be
fore the two Literary Societies. To
such as are familiar with the intellectual
efforts of tha? gentleman, it will bo unne
cessary to say that it was characterized
by accurate and profound tho't, strength
and vigor of expression, interspersed
here and there with a caustic sarcasm
forcibly applied.
Joseph 4. Hill, Esq. of Wilmington,
followed iti the Annual Address to the
Institute, pervaded in every part by good
sense, rendered the more acceptabfe by
the wit, fancy, and facility and elegance
of language which accompanied and em
bellished it. He described wtih much
effect his own sufferings, when an un
lucky boy, he was some years ago a
member of the Preparatory School at
Chapel Hill; and whilst he pleaded for a
more sparing use of the rod on the part
of the pedagogue, refuted his doctrines by
his own example proving by the copi
ousness of his classical allusions, and the
number and appropriateness of his quo
tations, that no one of the scourgings to
which he alluded had been bestowed in
vain.
A Lecture on Lyceums, by James D.
Johnson, Esq. gave evidence of extensive
reading and research in relation tn thi
subject, and presented an ample array of
wen seiecieo tacts, to which the inhabit
ants of the many small villages that are
scattered over the surface of North Caro
lina would do well to give especial heed.

Crenshaw applied the lash to Orange
county, for the stand she lias taken in re

should be removed to Wake, the citizens
of our county would be thankful for, fos
