The Races.

What startles Southern apprehensions is that there
imies the power OF dominant sectional
cry in Congress that they may, in the of time
undertake to control the relations of the white and black
race in the slave States, in spite of the people of those
States.
Thus discourseth friend Elwood Fisher, who is the
organ and mouth-pece of the Disnnonsts. He is ter
riby alarmed for fear the North will undertake
troll the relations of the white and black in the
slave States' He quite much alarmed when the
Indiana Legislature undertook prohibit marriages be
tween the ,chits and black rasebut they did So and
all of his preaching and ecturing have not induced the
people to change their opinion. They are still opposed
to any close connection between the races.

We have overlooked for some time this work

The first article IL on the Scottish Universities
We know Of few subjects more deserving of at
tention, than University foundations and Uni
versity education. The Scotch Universities have
produced many illustrious men, and In SO doing,
have offered that many arguments in favor OF
the system. But We confess we have a par
TALLY for the old fashioned University system
of the middle nges, when every professor was
dependent exclusively on bis class for his
revenue, and when, therefore, the ability and
fame of professor was his main reliance for
success.
The modern system of large endowments and
regency control has tendency to Incidence,
mediocrity, and bigotry. The opinions the con-
nections, and the interests of University govern
ors operate frequently against tho more Icgiti-
mate objects Of such institutions--ther utility,
their fame, and their success.
