CEOKCLI LEGISLATURE.

U'cdnttilay, Dec. 6, 1830. y
Debate on tho College Dill.
Tbo Coll < go bill, which provided for on ap* I
propriation of $30,000, was thon laken tip, in
Commiltee of tho VI hole; and aftor it was
read, Mr. Sciii.F.r offeied a substitute, provid.ng
fbr the appointment of cloven additional Trus
tees, from the Clark parly,viz: Wilson Luur-
Kiv, of Monroe ; James C. Watson, of Bald
win; Zachahiati Williams, of Columbia;
Thomas W. Mur, rat, of Lincoln; Dr. Damel
Hook, of Louisville; Howell Cosa, of Hous
ton; Dr. David A. Reese, of Jasper; Asets
M. D. King, of Monroe. ; Jssoo Wood, of Mc-
Intosh; Stephens Thomas, -of Athens, and Dr.
James Tinsley, of Cla k; eons to make iho
whole numbo of Trustees twenty-eight, and
fourteen fom each party —Also, so an appropri
ation of SB,OOO annually, payable semi annually,
from the Central Bank, and an immediate one I
of SIO,OOO, to bo repaid from tho annual ap
propriation, ns that becomes due.
Tho substitute was taken up by sections. Mr.
: Neal, ol Newton, moved to strike out the first
Section, appointing tpc Trustees} which motion
was sti:.ported by Mr. Btne, and opposed by Mr.
WorronD.
Mr. Neal disapproved of (bis section altogeth
er—considered it a con opt understanding; a
i plan to buy up votes in favor of nit appropriation
for tho College, and would not vole for the bill
while it domains it,
Mr. WonoßD repelled the charge of corrup
tion. Tho arrangements entered into was for
■ tho benefit of tho institution and the State. It
' was tho only means of removing the prejudices
which had long existed against tlto College,
1 owing to the manner in which its affairs had
, been managed, and controlled by one parly a
lone—the Troup party—and that it was now
tho wish of that party to remove the difficulties
which existed, by tltc measure proposed.
Mr, Cleveland said the measure was propos
od by the Troup party, and intended to pro
mote the welfare of the College— and was cal
l ciliated to give that proper equality of parties in
the Institution, which ought to have existed long
ago.
The question was then taken on Mr. Neal’s
motion, which was rejected.
Mr. Neal proposed to amend the section by
striking out four of tho names, and inserting in
their stead, those qf Thomas Flournot, Ciias.
J, McDonald, D.—. Cooper, and John G. Pol-
HII.L.
Ms. Hull said .tbe Trustees and Faculty of
the College, wished the number of Trustees in
creased to twenty-eight, and had proposed the
. present arrangement in the annual report to the
Senates Academicns. It might be said that fif
teen or twenty T runtces wero all-sufficient to
consider and transact the various business of
the Board. But there were other considerations
worthy of notice. Seventeen was the number
when tho population of the State was com| n a
tively small; and twenty-eight, now, was not
more, in proportion to the extent of population,
than seventeen had boon. Tbo additions! Trus
tees, selected from various parts of tlto Stale,
would greatly advance the interests of tiro In
stitution in iiicir respective sections—dissemi
niilo correct views of its nature, policy, govern
ment, and worth to tho Slate, among tho pom.to
around them, and thereby concentrate upon it
the regard and support of the whole population.
Tho Trustees would naturally feel a warm in
toresl in advancing tho welfare of the College—
and their respectability an d influence, and "cor
reel knowledge of the Institution, in all its va
rious relations, would enable them to do so to a !
.great and most beneficial extent. Wherever ,
I they were, the feelings of tho people would bo ,
kept alive on the subject; and where they wern j
not, its interests would, comparatively, be nc»- t
looted and forgotten.-With regard to the propo- ]
s.tton before tho House, there was no improper |
or corrupt bargaining. |t was a just and proper |
means of dofng j uslico to 0 party whop# mto ._ ,
osts m the institution wero equal with those of ,
he other. Mby should the management of it ,
be confided to one party alone? Its interests t
required that party should be entirclv excluded. .
Both parties equally sapported it; and if it was .
an honor to partake of the management of q, ■
wby should either party bo debarred t It need- ,
ed the suppo. tof both parties, and should there- ,
fore be made acceptable to both.—Tho Iqstltu- t
tion had suffered much Injury by fire; and a 1
lib end appropriation was needed to restore it to t
o state of energetic capability on<J 1
To obtain such appropriation it was necessary
that it should be supported with om heart and
with one mind. It wanted general confidence
and tho present measure suggested itself as tiro
beat means of obtaining that confidence. Tbo
whole community should bo equally represent
ed in it—all jealousy should he removed—tlio
management should bo taken from one political
party and placed in the hands of both. Tho
difficulty complained of was partiality—let thaS
difficulty be removed, and a suitable appropria.
tion will doubtless bo obtained.
Mr. Schlep regretted the objections which
had been made, and thought them fry no means
fair or reasonable. The College, so fur, and all
its benefits, had been confined exclusively to
one party. All this was right, with some gen
tlemen, while tbo Clatk party, which l«d con
tributed equally to its support, would continue
to do so without pattaking of its benefits. But
they had determined to do so no longer; and
the Troup parly, sensible of the necessity ofob.
tabling their support, had proposed that ull par
ties should bo represented. This was no hat.
gain. The Clark party needed not to bargain
for their rights. They were not a small, jovv
orlcss niinoiity, but an equal portion of the t oc,
pie, knowing their tights, and determined to
sustain them. They came here, not to bargain
J for their lights, but to demand them, '{'heup- j
I positc party had had the entire control of tho j
Invitation. But now, finding (hut it could nos
be sustained without giving ikoir opponents on
I cquJl influence in its contents, their magnutiitni- j
|ty had suggested tho [ lan. They had eomo ■ j
! forward and proposed it. The Clatk party
merely claimed their rights, and when olfetod I
; them, should they refuse, lest they should bo I
j charged with making a corrup t bargain ? They
pay their proportion of the money collected in
to the Treasury.or appropriated for Franklin
College, and they have a right to decide equally
how that money shall he np p lied. Hove they
their pro, o.lioante influence in the disj osal of I
tl/c funds of the College, which they lake pari I
in' appropriating ?—As at toast an equal potion I
of tbe peo; Jc, they pay, say an equal portion of I
these funds. Their Representatives, in thn I
Board ofT.ustecs, are thru, to foot teen Troup I
men. What influence have three, against four*. I
: teen? a»d consequently, what power in the dis r I
posal of these funds of which they pay an equal I
part? Was it to ho expected that such a stain I
of things could always coutinuc I—That tho I
Clark men would always continue thus to ; av, I
and tho olhoi ! a;ty to receive and dis use of I
for their own exclusive benefit ? O, was it noj I
to be exp ected, as it had turned out, that tiro I
Clark party would at last refuse, and the. othriß I
would bo obliged cither to ofl’ur (hem their jttsy I
rights in the College, and take, llTOniselveF* I
their prop er proportion, or that they w ould uliK I
! ntately suc.jfiee the College altogether, and ip i
grasping at all its privileges and benefits, !,»-» I
all I—They have very properly ami honorably ,w I
chosen I lie former. They have offered us oar |
rights, and wo accept them. Whore is tlto to.- I
nip.lion in litis? or the bargain and sale? I
Tho gentleman from Newton ha* proposed I
other names than those selected by the Cla R I
parly—those which had been selected after full I
•consultation with Utc wishes of tho party, and |
which wore accep table to it. It had boon prop ose I
od, that it sliotfld select its o!Vn Trustees. \Vhv I
llicn should the gentleman from Newton selo<9 I
them? Did Clark men select tho present I
Board ?—lt had been considered desirable tti I
allay f ifty feelings, and to make tbo College I
what it ought to be—a Slate institution, jn- I
stead of a jwrty one; and if in •effecting ithiy, I
objept, Clark men arc to be elected, it is proper ■
that Otmk men shculil select litem. The pe> I
sent names were selected by almost tbe imam I
1,10,13 of Hie parly ; ami ,if acceptable to I
it, why propose olbcrs, which oonld only prof I
tuote Confusion and dissatisfaction 7 I
{ln the cirtffbo of his argument, Mr. ScntEt I
made a forcible and eloquent nppical to the I
friends of Lileinturc and Science, mbeltiilfof I
the College—shewing its excellent olVocts npou i
the pcopdo and character of the Slate, and tree I
institutions, when properly nonducted with an - I
impartial view to the interests and welfare <*t E
the w hole people.-s-Bnt, owing to frequent lit- I
terruplion, we mmtiot hop eto report it with guy I
thing like justice to its power and efiect.] I
Mi. Neae surd he wished to eliange but four I
names, and those for other Clark men ; and those I
whom ho considered men of superior qualitrea- I
lions. Were not tlio four lot had selected, men I
of superior attainments in Literature and Set- I
§p cc ’ was it not desirable to elect such to a I
hleiary and scientific institution ? Ho himself I
preferred those names, and ho I relieved the I
House would ; hut he was opposed to the whole I
arrangement, and should vote agamst the hill I
principle, while it contained this section.—As to I
the bargain, the 'Frouji men say they cannot get I
an appropriation without making this proposi- I
lion, and theretorc they agree to make concent
sions which they otherwise would not do, ty.T
the purpiosc of buying up votes favor.
Mr. Schlev observed, the gentleman confess
ed that ho Was opposed to the hill, and that ho
would not vote for it, even ifhrs amendment
were adopted. Why, then, make tiro amend
ment, hat to defeat the hill, rather than from ap
objection., to. the names he prop-osetl to strike
out ? It was of no consequence what was tho
literary character or attainments of the men
whose names he proposed to insert, if lie would
afterwards vote against litem. As to tiro gen
tlemen mentioned,ho could say,that Gon. Flour
noy and Judge McDonald had already been selec
ted by the party, and both had refused the ap,
pointments. Mr. Cooper might have been se
lected, and probably would have been, had not
ho been inadvertently overlooked, u> •
