SENATOR BELL.--The Legislature
of New Hampshire has passed a resolution
by vote of more than two thirds Of both
houses, calling upon Mr.. Bell to resign his
seat in the U. S. Senate. At the time Of
the election of Mr.. Bell, the question was
agitated, we believe, respecting the obliga-
ton Members Of Congress were under to
follow the instructions of their constituents,
and he made pledge to the Legislature to
resign, in case he could not consistently with
his views follow their instructions. We
shall now see whether he keeps his word.

DelnYnre College.

We understand an application will be made to
pCintmcnt Of Trustees, and an act of Incorporation
for the College in this State. The Trustees ofNew-
ark Academy, to whom werc entrusted its funds for
the erection ofbuidings, have sometime since made
contract with distinguished architect for superb
College edifce The work, we believe, is progress
ing and will be completed and ready for use by a.
mother season. The College fund has been accu-
mulaiing for number of years, and it is now
thought viii be sufficient to justify the organization
OF an institution The situation as it regards health
and beauty, will be inferior to none in the country,
and is SUCH that, if the institution is properly Or
ganized and conducted, it must command full
ehure of patronage. There never has been Col
cgein this State nor one any reputation in Mary
land. Pennsylvania has had her half dozen COL
legcs with none of them sufficiently endowed, or SO
conducted as 10 attain any degree of eminence
abroad. 1t is common remark made by foreign
ers, that have too many Colleges, and none that
will bear comparison with European Institutions.
The remark is just, but SO far from being derogatory
10 us as a nation, it only shows that we regard a
general diffusion o. science of more importance than
the highest degree Of attainment, fconfncd 10 few
individuals.
The support and patronage extended to College
in Delaware, will depend upon its character. II is
of the utmost importance then, that the institution
should be well organized, and such men secured as
4 will give it ommincncc Much will depend upon
the hoard of Trustees selected by the Legislature.
Upon them will dcyolvc the organization of the H.
stiluion, and the selection of men 10 fill the various
prolcssorships. Prudence would dictate, we should
suppose that all ofthe present board, who are inter
estod in the institution and who have had the man.
ngemont of its funds, should be ofthe number, with
INC addition of sufficient number Of the most sci
entic and influential individuals in the ncighboring
states and counties, who could be enlisted in its
support. The number Of Trustees in our Colleges,
varies NC believe from about fifteen TO thiry-but
the number is not of so much consequence as tie
character Of tic individuals, who compose the board.
We ionbt not the materials can be found in this
sutc, who would organize an Institution, that would
meet the wishes Of the friends OF science in this
section oethe Union.
