Mr. SrvNona haa been twlao Governor of the State of New York, first elected in 18 .VI, and again in I9C2. Hi* name was urged by hie friend* as a candidate ft r the Prrsithncy in ISM. The nominee for Vice President, is a man also of superior talents, very far surpassing Coltax, the R.tdicnl enndi 'ate for the sanio offioe. ITe combines tiie high qualities of n statesman with those of a successful military man. lie is not a more Osneral like Onttrr j for he deslro* to preserve the Constitution and liberties of tho country, and to save the whl'e rane from negro supremacy attempted by the Radical* for party purposes Grant is swayed by mere parly 1-nders, it seems he follows their dictates. He originates and advises no meamres himself. Ssriroira and DLAts will be eothuslasli eally supported all over the eonatry.

The aim 5? to secure In the Rtatc if possiMo 300 of suc^i Hon Is. The Kuculty however, will agrvo to rec.umo tlicir labors, if 200 arc secured, trusting to the Recur* ing of tho whole ntimi.or by proper effort. Wo occd not enlarge on the udvahtnges of this scheme to all who have sons to educate, at an institution of high and well established char meter, possessing a learned i>nd aide Vacuity, an institution that the District and tho State, and oven sections beyond the State, have delighted to support, and hnvo been blest ed in supporting for years before tho war, ami which only now is finking, because of Use losses t Its ondowmcnt, nnd tho impoverishment of the country by tho war. Wo trust tho Committee who aro to call upon tho citirens of the Town and District, will ho encouraged with success beyond the most Sanguine caleuinlious, every raolivo of public spirit, and of hom.r.itdo selfish cn'culution, combine to f .vor tho noble rmiBu m iiiu V/HI*WI ",vj..

The many advantages accruing to fho community baring the best educational facilities, were forcibly presented. It will draw to Itself secessions of the best population in reach of It ; people will make many sacrifices to avail themselves of these facil Hire. By theso accessions the value of real estcte is greatly enhanced, and the mercantile pursuits, and mechanical interests are grontTy improved; every individual member ia benefitted and profited by the sueoees and prosperity of the community. After presenting to the andiencc the great civil advantage* of edncatlon to a country, and the higher social and mora) Interests of the community in ita institutions of learning, he presented the aheoluto necessity of snb Uutial material help to the University, in order to preserve its existence. It cannot longer bd worked on a credit; to raise an en dowmeat now U impossible, and an attempt to contlnno it by raising annual sums would only give it a spasmodic existence. A plan Is proposed, asking for a small aum com pared with the return offered in educational advantages. And the appeal ia to be made to the whole people of the State. The practical question before os to night, is? what ate the people of Greenville willing to dof The heart must beat, and unlran they ? ho are by far the most benefited are willing to do their part, the institution must fail. Pr. Jas. Fnrmon, then addressed the meeting and alter explaining tbo circumstances of tbo foundation of the University ami its location here, he rcferod to tbs remarkable good bebarton/ of tbo Students in the past, and the very many social and pecuniary advantages brought to the community by tho University, besides the Faculty of the Institution, and tbo number of families who en mo hero to avail themselves of the benefits of tho Univorsity, it was estimated by our shrewdest business men, that the Studonts added annually much moro than fifty thousand dollars to tbo circulating medium of this plnco. Tho ondowmont of tho University has failed by tho result of tho war, tho tuition received, Is totally Inadequate to its support. Tho Faculty is una'do to sustain Itself longer, upon a credit system, and unless some arrangement is anidu nt onee for tho support of tho Iustitution, tho 1'rofessors must sever tho fond associations and pleasant ties whivh hind thorn to tho community, and accept situations offered tbcm elsewhere, by which, they may be aide to support themselves. Fnrman University had been tho cause of the location of tho SoutLorn Baptist Theological Pnninary bore, ond there at* now influences nt work, tcniUng to rcmovo tho Seminary elsewhere; l-nt tua location ot tho University was an answer and the only one, to the arguments of those who advocated tho removal of the Seminary, but with the faiiuroof tho one, we must inevitably lore tho other. It is for the peoplo of tbie community to decide for thomsclvas, whether they nro wilting to give up tho aeccssiona theso Institutions have brought to tho sooicty hero, and tho pecuniary benefits derived from their location. The nlan nronoeed is to take bonds to be paid in three annual ina'almente of thirty dollar* eanh and for every bond to allow one student all the benefit* of the Collegiate Course of the University; tho bond* to be mutually binding when two hundred are taken, though it 1* hoped that nt least three hundred will be. Of thi* number, to give succeaa to tho undertaking, at fcast seventy five bonds must be taken in the Town nnd District of Greenville. I)r. K. T. rtuiat then followed in a few imprercivo remarks, prceent'rg the ad van Ingea of the plan nnd the obligation of (hit community to see that It succeeded, GoL J. 1'. Thomas, of Columhis, be'ng present, wss called upon aud presented the absolute importance of foetering onr private institotiona of learning, at (bis time when our public men are ro much jeopardised, and commented upon the great liberality of the plan propoeo-1 by tha Troa tees, and concluded by expressing the hope that the good people of Greenville would not permit this bright and shining light to h# extinguished, but that they would rather inerrafe its brilliancy. Several gentlemen of the number present screed to take bond*, and all seemed to M great InUrrrt and deeply to regret that tha entire community was net prevent l<> hear lha diaeuation of a aotj.et so greatly involving the common interest of all.
