AZ might have been supposed. the citizens o
the town Of Hillsborough and is vicinity have "a
ken deep interest In Tie question Of locating N
Caldwell Institute; and the announcement thu
our town had been selected was received With mH
nifes, jOy and heartfelt satisfaction Never va
a community more sincerely united in any one e
for, than have been our citizens to procure this n
suit. The Caldwell Institute has justly occupie
q high stand In public estimation and is undoub
cdly one Of the hes, schools in the South; and u
people Of this community are fully sensible Of d
claim it has to public patronage. They were d
termined to have school Of high order in u
place, and of courre they preferred this, which a
ready had their confidence, 10 one which woul
have been an experiment The unanimity wit
which our citizens have acted m this matter, witt
out distinction Of church or party, notwithstan
ing the Institute is avowcdly Presbyterian schc'
SPEAKS volumes in favour Of the plan upon whit
il has been conducted heretofore. Indeed the co
filcnce felt by this community, within forty mil
OF where the Institute has been successfully or
s rating for the last nine years, we believe, c
neral throughout tho state, as is evidenced
rAc support which has been extended to i BY OF
or denominations. But tho citizens Of Hillst
rough were not satisfied with passing congratu
tons among themselves on this subject. A toS
meeting was held on Saturday last; Mr.. Dem
Hcartt being called 70 the chair and Mr. Jan
Webb, IT,, appointed secretary. The object OF
meeting was explained by John w. Norwood, e
and he accompanied his explanation with sol
brief and appropriate remarks upon the adsan
ges that would result to the town from the 10
ton Of the Institute among as, and the correspoI
ing duty resting upon us as citizens to sustain
The following resolution was then submitted
unanimously adopted: @< Mrs.
Resolued unanimously, That this meeting
heard with deep interest ana sausiae.loii 'i"'
Caldwell institute is 10 be located ut HHlsboroa
and that we pledge ourselves as community,
as individuals, to give our cordial and united
in sustaining il .s..- ..s.
We may be permitted to say now, tfor we b
heretofore avoided saying any thing on the
jcct, knowing that it would have but little wei
while the question Of location was pendlng,)
we verify believe the Prcsbytery could not D
selected better location within their bounds
that now selected. Attached as we are to
Presbyterian Church, and feeling deep int
in this school as a Presbyterian institution
think it is possible for us to look beyond our
sonal interest in this matter; and when the
yantases that Hillsborough affords are conside
its undoubtcd healthincss, the facilities for
