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.

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.
