We learn that the commencement of
our Unisersity. on Thnrsdzy hast, was
well attended, sad tilai die exercises On
the occasion were highly gradfyig 70 the
friends Of the Institution.
The Annual Address before the two
Literary Societies was delivered by JAMES
ID. SHEPaRD, esq, Of Raleigh, on We'd
nssday morning. and seems 70 have given
peny general satisfaction. when we
consider he short time given him for pre-
para.ion, and his age, 10 say nothing Of
the distinguished ability Of many Of The
individuals who have preceded him in the
delivery OF this address, il Is no small
compliment 70 Mr.. Shepard To say thai he
gave general satisfaction 70 his intelligent
auditory.
The address Of Bishop IsEs before the
Historical Society Of this state. delivered
on "Wednesday evening, IS spoken Of as
having been very eloquent, interesting,
and instructive. The Bishop took an ex-
iensive view Of the design and eject Of
his,oy-regaded true history as The voice
of God, speaking in fcrcible language to
after ages, and illustrated the position by
striking incidents from French history
deprecated the sectarian bias which too
often influenced the historian, and showed
Llat though he might give tl.e truth, and
nothing bu, the truth, We. by failing TO
give the whols truth the reader might be
As ctsectually led into error As BY direct
falsehoods. He applied his principles 10
the histories Of North Carolina; and re-
commended 10 the Society the appoint
nent of committee of diffcren, religious
sentiments, to prepare history Of the
state by their united labors. II mus, be
confessed that there was some Of the same
feeling manifested in the Bishops address
that he condemned in historians; but the
same allowance for human imperfection
must be made in his case as in theirs.
As churchnian. it was to be expected
that he had partialities; and the occasion
was one 10 make them manifest.

From the Springfield Republic.
SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE stu

The Wilmington Republican contains letter
from Dir. Brooke, the leading Abolitonist of Gin.
ton county, explaining some new views Of social
reform which he has recently embraced. The
communication is the oldest composition of well
written nonsense that we have ever known to en-
anate from man outside the walls of Lunatic
Asylum. We have not room for an extended
notice of this INDUSTRIOUS scheme Of fanatic absur.
dty, but will state few of tho principles on
which Tho Regenerators act.
l. DR.. B. has discovered that the marital re-:
laton is pure upon the principle of the strctest
confluence. 2. He abstains from animal food.
B. Gods laws exist in the human constitution
written laws arc only declarative. 4. Giving
and taking equivalents is sinful. Il neither claim
nor esteem anything mine beyond the right
which my necessities give me to it. To those
who desire from me medical advice and assis
lance they are cheorfuy afforded. And so of
tho products of labor, which our agricultural ope-
rations enable us to produce and spare and what
he requires of others he expects to get upon the
same convenient terms: >. Refusing all allegi-
ance to human government, pay no taxes. |
am informed that some kindly disposed though
mistaken friend, know not whom, has paid the
tax on my personal property. The land from
which we propose to derive subsistence, is
turned as delinquent. with tho view to its sale at
some future time. Whether the government will
be willing and able to drive from our present
home, is yet to be SEEM 6. Believing it wrong
10 hold office, no has resigned the place Of post
ana nc refuses 10 receive send letters
papers by the mail-because 1T is wrong to
pay postage which goes to support the operations
of this wicked government 7. No man can
rightfuly hold individual property.
Such IS the latest phase of fanaticism It
would not DO difficult TO run these dsorganizinp
errors back to their origin; but the task would
not be an agreeable The first step in tho
nfidcl progress of these scheners is to reject the
Bible, because it contradicts some cherished dog
ma. They are then out upon tho sea without
helm or compass to be '.drivcn of the wind and
tossed
The editor of the Republican introduces n let
ter with the following remarks:
DIR. Brooke is one of tho first Abolitonists Of
this county, and has been, and is now, laboring
earnestly for the slave. He has advanced the
cause more rapidly than most others and if We
were to Judge from what and hear, it is
plain to mind that tho abotionsrn to which
many attached, is the forerunner of the very
doctrines which arc put forth in this letter. There
are number of persons, of both sexes in this
county, who agree precisely with DR.. Brooke.

interests, to fellow citizens ola common country.
to brethren of the same family.
In relation to the currency, Mr. CLAY pro-
nounced the idea of an exclusively metallic circt-
ation mere dcusion assumed that banks and
the banking system would continue to exist
der the auspices of the States and thence infer
red the necessity of national bank to regulate
and control the system and keep i from explosion
and mischief. He also insisted national
Bank as necessary TO secure national currency
which Is as necessary TO nation as national
laws, and indispensable to prevent the monied
commercial interests of the country from being
placed at the mercy of the moned power of for
eign states. That it in Wal street. among
foreign capitalists. that the Northern opposition
to n National Bank was most vigorous, and this
spoke volumes Gifts conneXion with the trdc IN
tercst and welfare of the country.
Mr.. Clay in conclusion apolooiscd for his
lection of topics. He said that he had
his present tour. with the intention to keep his
lips sealed, but he had been compelled to speak.
That he was preacher and could not give
scrmon-no doctor and could not deliver a lecture
medicine--no poet and could not sing soft
strains for tho amusement Of the audlence-but
he was 9ed to say something, he trust
ed he would be pardoncd. for bong silent on
subjects of which he knew nothing. and for spea-
king out freely on subj ccts with which he profess
ed to be familiar.
After Mr. Clay had finished speaking. the NEE
ting ad Journcd; and Mr.. Clay, amid renewed
chces. rc-cntercd the landau. and accompanied DIR.
PoRcHER to his residence, he being the guest of
that gentleman during his sojourn among us.
The Committee of Arrangements retired to the
Charleston Hotel, and partook of an elegant dim
nor. provided by Nickerson, and enlivcned by
sentiment and song.
In tho evenno, the Clay Club met at the Thea
tire. where an immense concourso of ladies' and
gentlemen had again assembled. and 4 splrit-stlr-
ring speech Of near two hours in length was de-
liverod by the eloquent PREsToN.
A splendid Ball, attended by citizens without
distinction of party. will be given in honor OF Mr.
CLAY. at the Charleston Hotel, this Monday }
evening.

..BARGAIN AND CORRUPTION"

This stale and triumphanty exploded SANDER.
upon Henry Clay, IS still reiterated by many OF
the two penny Locotoco editors. who have neither
the honesty nor the magnanlmity to do justice to
the greatest statesman of their country The
fact that the very persons who made the CHARGE
in tho first instance, have made a public recanta-
ton of it. ought to be sufficient TO silence relt-
o..i~ of :. u - -.e-" bio tna" Il i'''' INV :
ever, proved otherwise; and we now propose to
show IT'S FALsITY by the testimony of the two
great HIGH PRIESTS OF LocoFocoIsM-IlIOM
AS II. BENTON and MARTIN VAN BU-
REN. All who any way conversant with
our political history, at tho time John Quincy Adj
ans elected President. by the Congress ct the
United States, will recolcct that, previous to his
inauguration and the nomination of Mr.. Clay az
Secretary of State, the charge of ''bargain and
corruption had been publicly made by both Mr.
George kremcr and Mr.. Carter Beverly. II was
waited from end Of tho Union to the other by
tho press; and tho opponents OF Mr.. Clay were
unrcmitting in their cndcavors 10 impress upon
the public mind the truth Of their base tabrlca-
ton At that time. both Thomas II. Benton and
Martin Van Buren, were members Of the I. ).
Senate. The nomination of Mr.. Clay as Secrcta-
of State by John Quincy Adams, was IN due
of time sent to the Senate tor It's conflrma-
ton. This charge Of ..bargain and corruption
having boon previously made, and as the oPpo-
ncnts of Mr.. Clay insisted, proved, the eyes OF
tho whole country were directed towards the ac-
ton of the Senate upon his nomination.. 1t was
confirmed BY overwhelming vote. And who
gentle reader. do YOU imagine voted i'll favor OF
Mr.. Claws confirmation, The Injunction OF Sc
crcsy having been removed BY the Senate. the
vote was published to the world. And among
those who voted III favor of Mr.. Clay as Secreta-
~ of State. were 0F-THOMAS II. BENTON
and MARTIN VAN buren, itAD Could
there be stronger evidence given to the world OF
the baseness and faacy of the accusation, that
between Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Clay there was char
gain and corruption in the former being elected
President. and the litter selected his Secretary OF
State. than the fact that tho vrulcnt of his
political opponents voted for Mr.. Clay contirma
/ ton, Would Mr.. Benton and Mr.. Van Buren,,
have so outraged public feeling, and boon privv
to so infamous transaction. by voting IN favor OF
the nomination Of Mr.. Clay. if they believed the
charge to be true, No man in his senses will
suppose it. And we regard their vote. as tcstimo-
nv of a more conclusive character. in favor of
/ Mr.. CLAW. than even the public recantation of
Carter Beverly, the witness by whom the charge
was said to have been proved
+ If this will not satisfy the honest portion OF
our opponents. no earthly testimony that could
be adcluced would. And he who Is SO biased or
dishonest as not to regard it rs conclusive, is I'M
worthy the notice of any man.
