THE COLLEGE QUESTION

Letters have been received from Wash
ington which afford many particulars OF the
discussion of this question before the Su
preme Court OF the United States. 1t oc-
cupied three days, wien the Court announ-
ced the pos, ponement OF its decision till an
her term, intima ing that some OF the
Judges had not formed opinions, and those
who had, were not unanimous. All The ac-
accounts, of which we have heard, speak OF
the argument OF Mr.. Webster as having
been worthy of his splendid reputation.
He is said to have exhibited on this occa-
sion eloquence of The most impressive
character, and power Of reasoning which
has been seldom equalled Mr.Hopkinson's
for the College, are highly SPOKEN Of
Letters which we have seen are from gen
tIemen of both parties, all which represent
Holmes as having sunk most contemptibly
in the competition with Webster. Ills said
TO have been hoped by Mr.. H's friends that
this occasion would rescue his declining
reputation, but that they now Consider his
failure decided 20 notifying. In the course
of argument, Mr.. Holmes, 10 answer TO
so ne observation about the numbered HE
new trustees, observed that he did not per
ceive how nine could be called majority of
tqvelue, (meaning twenfy) Mr.. Hopkinson
Immediately express d lis sur. l-e 'hat The
inventor of the aiilhmetical expedlent to
separate Maine should be at loss 20 make
any thing qffgurcs. This cruel ailusion to
the famous fUe ninths calculation is said 10
have Redeemed poor HoImes'o tte ears.
The question Immediately before the
court at:W ashipgton is whether the College
acts violate that article iO the national con-
s.itution which prohibits the states from
passing any &C, to impair the obligation of
contracts. I. is ssid that the arguments Of
Messrs Webster and Writ assumed rath-
eg wider scope, but We have seen NJ letters
from which we could prepare . particular
account of the debate One thing at least
is certain, that our supreme Judges have
much difficulty in question which the
| new spapers and partizans OF Ne. -HsmP-
shire have decided with perfect ease.

A letter from Washington, in the last
Daily advertiser, says" the discussion up
on the bill for internal Improvements has
fairly developed the views of the Western
Gentlemen upon this subject. The Allan
tic States will never be much benefited by
any such appropriation, while The revenue
derived from our industry and our COM
merce, is to be applied to the mixing OF
roads for the accommodation and improve
ment of those states which will no, expend
their own money nor tax themselves fo'
these great objects. Mr.. Orr, OF Mass.
