Nrmlsnrr Trnlrr. For several years, the democratic parly have
taken to themselves the especial charge of our Seminary, and as one of their distinguished orators said, ourchildren were to be taught in democratic books and brought up in the way (politically) they should go. After some years effort, we thought they had abandoned this illiberal enterprise as both impracticable, and impolitic, and had yielded to better counsels. But the late canvas, the same thing has beeu re-enacted. They have had their regular democratic candi
dates for Seminary Trustees, and the present i
able and -Hide nt board, in whom allourciti:e is had confidence, have to give place to agents and instruments of a corrupt pnrty, whereby our rhlldren are to be taught the democratic creed We would not care whether whigs or democrats were trustees if they were not elected through the drill and organization of a party, for the cor
rupt purposee long Miiee announced by Judge Johnston, In the Court House. Many of onr citizens thought the party had abandoned this mad project, and that hereafter nh'gs could ind to the Seminary without feeling the degradation of yielding to the illiberal
position of Democrntic rule. We find onrsvlves,
however, in a disagreeable position. A gentleman, who has been represented to us as eminently qualified, has been engaged to take the Semi
nary, in a few weeks. He has ccgfged, we liave no doubt, not knowing the circumstances. As a friend, we advise him to remain where he is. Were he rqnal to the teacher at whose feet Paul learned his alphabet, we would not send to liim, under the present arrarcement And we
know of otlirr whigs who will not. And we call upon ail men. who have the least pride, or independence, to reisl this corrupt and illiheral
effort of the Democratic clique to rule our Seminary. We do not Hmrge the Democratic party ,of the county with approving this matter, yet thcy sustain it with their vote. They appear o be the wiilmg instruments r.f this tyranical ,crusade.

House Mr. Winthrop rose and said he had received a letter thi. morning from the Governor of Massachusetts, informing him that he had been appointed to fill the vacaucy in the Senate caused by the resignation or Mr. Webster. Having determined to accept the appointment'
and being called onto do so without delay, he had thought fit to announce in the presence of the House, that his place will be vacant Trom
thi. day, and he requested thi. fact to be announced to the Governor of Massachusetts in the usual form. In taking hi. adieu of the body with which he has so long been associated, he wished to say in the simplest and briefest term, lhat he should always cherish the highest regard for its character, and he expressed hi. heartfelt thank, to the Speaker and each member for their prosperity. He then withdrew to the Senate Chamber. Mr. Harmanson, member of the Committee
on Public Lands, and Mr. Hackett. member of
the committee on Inlian affair., were by re.

Mr. Berrien spoke in favor of the amendment. Mr. Foote followed, and made some remark, about the denunciations which had been heard
In the Senate and elsewhere against traitors and treason. He said it was important to be understood that the United State.

Mr. Berrien thought the most effective way of destroying the Union was to rarne threats of employing a military force to pat down the movement, nf a minority of the peopie.

that it was evident that thi. question of the
Texas boundary was the cause of much of the difficulty of the past session, and it wa. the main cause of the defeat or the Compromise bill. He thought It better to give each and every
measure a consideration npon its own merit..
He had, therefore, presented a bill for the ad- j justment of the boundary of Texas, simply and alone. He explained the boundary proposed in the bill, and the reason for their selection, and defended the proposition to pay the ten millions
to Texas, if she surrendered all her Territory north of 36 30, and all her claim, to Territories
between the Nueces and the Rio Grande. He
was, however, among those who believed that Texas had no right in the Territory or the Rio Grande; but she certainly had claims, for the surrender or which, together with the cession of Territory, north of her proposed northern boundary. He proposed to pay her ten millions or dollars, to be applied in the payment of the debt of Texas incurred in the prosecution of her revolution.
