We refer our renders to the first number of a series of interesting nrticles under tho heading of "llecolleetionp of the McKissick lUngem, ' on our first page. These articles arc written by an intelligent member of tho Company and will be very interesting rending to almost everybody in Union County. Stay Ed.

In speaking of this, the Kditnr of tlic X-tn Cturirr; vlio was a inernhcr of the Convention fftys: " Col. McKissick'* popular strength is not to he measure J hy the declared vote in the Convention, as lie was put in the lichl in the lust moment, ami many votes east for him were changed before the result was ollieiilly announced."' We have reason* for believing that if Col. McKissick ha<l allowed his name to be use 1. at ' the opening of the Convention, as a candidate for that ollicc. lie would have been elected.

There is, however, we are pleased to say, a spirit of concession growing in both parties, provided a middle ground can he found upon which both may stand with satisfaction to themselves and for the most effective diffusion Ol --llignur C'liieHMori among till CiaSXCB 01 citizens of tiio .'"date. ISotli parties arc now near enough logctlicr io agree that some provision s!ioul<l be ina>le for free tuition totho?c of our worthy young men who are desirous of ohtninin - a thorough Collegiate education, but arc not able to pay for it ; but where to locate the dividing line between those who aro able to pay aiol those who are not, appears to be a problem hard to sol ve. Another Stumbling block lies in the way of a satisfactory arrangement is,?shall the d.-ors of the State College be open for frr- tuition to till poor young men who may be worthy and prepared to receive i , or shall only a limited number from each County be allowed, as in the i 'itadel Academy ? The solution of the frfcc tuiti^J^^tion seems to hinge upon harmonizing the* two points, /. who arc able to pay, and shall the number of lice students be limited As we would extend the benefits id' higher education to the largest number possible, we aro decidedly in favor of .in unlimited almisHiott of free students, after strict examination as to character and advancement in prescriticd studies. As to who are aide to pay, wc would sugg1 ~t thai it lie decided by ihe tax book. l'arcnts who pay taxeri upon, sny, or over, or minors wiioso properly 13 as-e^se i, lor mat amount, limy not lie entitled to free tuition in the Stale College, but nil others, sons of citizens < r orphan residents 01 thi?S4atc. to be adiniited to the College free of charge for tuition, nflcr passing the necessary examination. We further hold that as the State College is supported by the heaviest tax payers in the State, they h.ivc a just elaim upon its benefits, an I the tuition fee should be as low aa proper regard for the cllicieney of the iru?ti tulion will permit. I nderstaud us, we do not olfer this compr 1tuisc wi'h the idea that it will reduce the taxes of the poor people, for we do n u believe i: will ; but we find a growing belief in the minds of many, who claim to be of the poorer clasv that "the rich people of the State are getting rroni the State College something that they d not pay for, ' and \vc oiler it for what it is worth. We further refer our readers to the communication i:i another column over the signature of "Truth,' showing how little the (I.., ??.l I'.l.i.lnt l.ol I ...V .... . . .V. ....... ...V J VI people to maintain, in comparison with Hie vail aniouut of good lltcy arc doing to nil classes nml conditions cf our citizens. . ?
