 age We are surprised to perceive that the passage of the bill to incorporate the $ fa1 West Seminary" was opposed by those members of the House, among whose con- sttuents this institution Is more immediately situated. We had supposed, from the zeal displayed in behalf of the Seminary, by pro- minent citizens of that section, that 1t was popular with all classes ill the north and west But Nessrs. Greenwod, of Benton Roane, Duval, and Mayors, of CrawfoJd, seem to have thought otherwise, as they ro- ted against the biLt. Perhaps, however, as they wish to keep their party in the sssenden- cy, it is principle with them Dever to en- courage institutions of learning.

 IL is strange that the Gazette will not do justice | gislature.

 The truth of the above matter is this The bill to incorporate the Far West Seminary, gave the Trustees the power to own very large amount of property, &c., &Sc. Col. Floyd moved to amend the bill, by adding a provision that the Legisla- ture should retain the power of reYoiing the char ter He as well as number of members was op- posed to engrafting upon society corporation with the power of controlling a large capital, without allowing the Legislature the right to revoke is charter if it should ever exert its powers and in luence improperly or depart from the object of its creation. This amendment was voted down, and on that account, the above mentioned gentlemen, l as well as a number of others, voted against the bill.

 If proposition were made to raise fund for general education, by subscription, we have no doubt but either of the above gentlemen would subscribe as much as the Hght-loviag editor of inc Gazette As to their opposing iastitatioas of tea7a- ing to keep their party in the ascendency, it is but another tune to the old Whig song that the Gazette has vainly sung so often, that the Wings have all the talent and all the decency. How extremely modest" the Gazette is, in claiming for himself and his party, the intelligence of the country The following is a similar specimen of what we might call extreme modesty;'

 -"The fact that two-thirds of the educa- ted youth of the country, sided with the Wings in the late contest, is the best proof of the growing popularity of our measures Let us but remain firm, and we will vet con- quer.

 LEGISLATURE OF N. CARoL1NA-Proscri0tion The Legislature of North Carolina assembled on the 18th of November. In the House, the whigs have majority of IS, and Edward Stanley whig, was elected Speaker.

 In the Senate, the parties are tied, and, though several attempts were made, no Speaker of the Senate had been elected on the 3rd day of the ses sion.

 But what we wish to call particular attention to- is this: It is stated in the |" Standard, :" paper published at the capital, that the whig members immediately after they assembled at the capital in caucus-s' GRAvELY RESOLVED THAT, FOR NO OFFICE, NOR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD THEY VOTE FOR DEMOCRAT :. -

 This only shows what the Whigs will do wher they have the power; and that they have no righ to complain at having that mercy shown to them which they to others show Had they the majority in the Legislature of Arkansas, they would do, nt doubt, just what the Wings of N. Carolina hay, done.
