Centenary College.

One OF the surest guarantees the public
have for the merits of a literary institution
is predioated upon the dignity, high-mind-
edness and fearless independence of its
officers; such as will invariably character
ize men of noble feelings, sound lii erary
and scientific attachments and u%nwavering
rectitude of principle promptly carried out
in practice. Men called to fill such high
and responsible stations should be above the
suspicion Of minor, pandering feeling, and
when ruled into a Court Of Chancery, speak
and act with propriety, c~ircumspection and
dignity, that become men of sound condi,
ton and enlightened moral sense. ANY
other course of conduct than this, betlays
that incapacity aud peurility fit only to tim
sci over the minds of youth with super.
ticial knowledge. and serves to crafty the
vanity of a few men, SeLfdigagfcd, with
the unmerited title of Professors" We
have always constrained. before and since
we rubbed against a College," to regard
with much respect our public literary insti.
%tutions aud hold in high estimation the
character and reputation of those who pre-
side over them, SO far as they sustain the
character of gentlemen and scholars. But
when they so far forget their trust or never
realized that any was ever committed to
them, as to cast reproach upon the tutela-
ry god Of letters and o~verstep the bounds
OF good manner by a boorish dialect, we
confess that our esteem and regard is lost
in our shame for such wanton prostitution
of what we once regarded pure and incor.
raptble.
Perhaps the grave dignitaries Of Cente.
nary College may deride us for entertain
ing such feelings and ridicule our gyeenaess,
for thinking that literary and scientific Pro-
fessors should sustain a stand above the
vulgar herd Of mountebanks and black
guards; but with all that high authority,
Though not very ho~ary.headed in scientific
s~ervice,) we must still cling to the sound,
ness OF our early impressions and contend
for dignity in station. integrity of conduct
and propriety of language, even if they
have no other commemorate traits of char
acter or no remarkable requirements.

who is Franklin Pierce?

The Wilkinson Wing contemptuously
asks this question, and says. "He is a man
Of State name and distinction only" "there
has been nothing in his rareer to attract
national notice !" ''such a nomination is
no. fit to have been made;" "it is degrad.
ing the Office of President" &c.
In reply to this vulgar and disgusting
slang, let us make a few extracts from a
number Of our respectable exchanges, Il
would seem tina Mr.. Fillmore has a much
higher opinion Of Gen Pierce than the Wing
entertains:
