u THE, TIMES,

Mr.. Wharton Il inquired what had be
come OF a certain charter granted TO a certain
set OF men called Trustees. for the very luuda-
Ole purpose of forming a University. and a
certain Mr.. Action undertook to answer me,
b. proposing a question, which has as much
sense as satire in it. First he asks ''whether
a University (and here in a parcnthesis he
gives vent to his ''pcnt up rage or even a
good Academy; will come for calling?" That
question, Others Of more pr0foundiiy of thought
and dePth Of reasoning, will have to answer.
a second question is, ''will the meetings of
certain men called Trustees, and their po,r-
'ootetag over a certain thing called "a charter,
bring Us a good school for our boys?'
That the meeting together once a week OF
tWicea week of those Trustees, when they do
nothing, nor take any efficient measures. we
arr well aware is of no use, and if they dc
nothing but polC ,coC they had better stay al
home, and save thems Ives the trouble of at.
tending. The incoming words of Mr.. Aciio,
are these, l. me call upon Mr.. Spcck and
Others, who would lay thu foundation of a good
school i'll Wheeling, To turn out and raisc
money, and then we may begin to think about
education at home; or does one certain Mr.
Speck expect the certain men called Trustees
10 raise the certain ncedful sum of moncy9'
No Mr.. Spetk need to turn out and raise in,
certain meedtas s,imof money. but let thos, VA.
rents, who send their children from home to be
educated, contribute that expense toward.
building a University. The money laid ont
by parents for the educating of their children
from homo within the last ten or fifteen wears
would have been amply sufficient rs hav,
built, not only d comfortable, but a splendi,
house Tor the purpose. The certain set O
m,n called Trustees, are the very ones VIII.

TO subscribe; by awaking their dormant encr
gies. Yes, let them set HE example by ia
