remain on foot, till it has destroyed our fondest
hopes of system of general Improvement which
should grow and strengthen for fifty years to
come
When we created fund for a general sys-
tenn of internal Improvement, it was thought
to be an essential provision Of the law to fix the
rule, by which the funds should be distributed
and applied to the different parts of the State.
TO meet the public engagements each citizen
is expected to contribute in proportion to his es-
tate, and of course each section of the country,
IN the same ratio. 1t would seem, therefore, that
it was as important to the rights and interest OF
citizen, That the rule Of distributing these funds
should be one and uniform, as that the rnle
for leyying and collecting the public revenue,
should be the same in every part of the State.

THE FARMERS RANK

Yesterday was an agitatiny day to the friends as
we'll to the enemies of tine extension of the Char
ter OF the Farmers Bank The Senate by dccid-
cd majority determined at one time, lay tho bill
'on the table, or rather refused to take it up That
was considered by all, the sleep of death, but it
was fortunately for ITSELF awakened from this fatal
state, by Mr. Pages motion to take il up, accom-
panied by declaration, that he would in that
event, rote for Mr.. Joinson's amednent IL, faror
81 Me Cii'rersay. The bill Uas taken up and by the
accession of several ou the former opponents
of the University the amendment directing the loan
of the bonus to the University, Incorporated in
she bill, 1t goes therefore to the House of Dele
gates to-day, in that shape-wherc many of the
friends of ersion. but the opponents Of the grant
TO the University, will find themselves under the ne
cesty of swallowing that pill, effect their prime
object ofextcnsionIt is gratifying that if this bill
does pass at last, the University is to be SO
greatly benefited by it-and it is rather singular
circumstance that this very liberal and rsaguani-
grant of aid to the University, is made or to
be made, by the very men, who look upon that In
