person to til! that important office. It is
j| one which requires a combination of pro
? minent and high qualifications. Much,
ery much of the success of the institution,
and of course, through it, of the wellbeing
of the State, depends upon the
characteristics and qualifications of its
presiding officer. In the first place, he
should be a man of decided piety. In the
aecond, he should be a man o{well bcdaneed
powers, combining mildness and urbanity
of manners, with firmness and decision
of character?a combination of
paramount importance to the efficient
disciplinariau. These are but fcwo of a
multitude of qualifications which are
ery desirably but which it is perhaps
needless to point out. In surveying the
8tate, in search of an individual professing
these high qualifications, my mind
can as yet roll upon no man who possess
them in greater number,or in higher degree
than the Hon. Chancellor Job Johnston.
The high trust which he now holds, with
honor to himself, and benefit to the State,
can be more readily filled with a suitable
incumbent, than the Presidency of the
College. In the humble judgment of the
writer, if Chancellor Johnston could be
induced to accept such a post, the State
would never regret the selection*

Dissolution of the late cabinet
At a recent Whig convention in th
district of Mr. Granger, he made the fol
lowing remarks on this subject.
Mr. Gragner commenced his remark
by saving that he had never before, in ad
dressing his fellow citizens, felt called o
to speak of himself; but on that oecasio
he felt bound to do so. He then took
rapid glance of the formation, of th
Cabinet under Gen. Harrison, and poai
trayed the character of that lamented pa
triot. After dwelling for a short tim
upon the death of President Harrisor
and the accession of his successor, Mi
G. entered upon a short history of the If
gislation of Congress, the action of th
Executive, and the causes which led to
dissolution of the Cabinet. He referre
to the passage of the land bill as an act c
long deferred justice to the States?t
the bankrupt act as one which woul
bring relief to thousands of the unfortun
ate?to thejrevenue bill as one due to th
wants and interests of the country. Mr
G. then went on to state that no one sub
ject had engaged so much of the publi
attention, or had been so ernphatical!
sealed with public reprobation, as the sub
Treasury plan. That plan had been re
pealed amongst the first acts of the pre
sent Congres, and its repeal implied a
obligation upon the Whig party to provici
a substitute ; that a bank hill had bee
passed by Congress, and arrested by th
action of the President.
Much as he deprecated the use of th
veto power, such were some of the [fea
tares of that bill, that, although he did mos
deeply regret that the Executive sanctio
' i*"'? ? fuol fhn
was WIlUlltMU IIUIIJ II, IIC UIU ?! ,W?.
the President should be harshly censure*
for returning it to Congress with his oh
jection*. A second bill was forme
which it was supposed would fully mee
his wishes. Indeed the Public had beei
informed by high authority, which re
mains uncontradicted, that the secon
bill was presented to Congress w ith th
approbation of the President to its details
That bill was passed, and its fnte %va
known to our People. Congress was a
bout to adjourn; the sub-Treasury repeal
ed, and the substitute offered by Congres
defeated by the Executive. The purs*
and the sword were still united in th*
hanJs where the Whig party had declare*
they should not remain. Here was suffi
cient cause for the withdrawal of mem
bers from the Whig Cabinet. It wa
well known that (our of them did with
draw.
But there were other additional reason
which Mr. G. said he would frankly stale

bv himself amongst others, that long cor
tinued power in the hands of our adversa
ries had led to corruption among the offic
holders, and to a most dangerous intei
fcrence on their part in our political eloc
tions. Not that every officeholder wat
corrupt, but that the different depart
merits of governmental patronage an
expenditures required a general purifica
tion. The revolution of last year w?
not accomplished merely for the purpos
of placing the executive officers at Wash
ington in snug and comfortable, placet
while the hordes of officeholders through
out the country remained undisturbei
Their removal was as much desired by th
People as was the charge in the highe.*
officers of the Government. So perfect I
was this understood, that it was one i
our adversaries to say, that they did nr
complain when removed, and justly laugf
ed at us when we permitted them to rt
i main.
Many removals and appointments wer
made during the Congressional iccei
and before the death of Gen. Harrisoi
1 which were afterwards sent to the Senat
for confirmation, but since that perio
very few hr.d been disturbed. The Pres
. dent had seen fit to retain in power almo:
the entire force of the Indian departmer
throughout the country, although th
Whig party had been loud in their asse
tions of corruption and fraud in the error

Officers were reiameu wuu v.
have been actively engaged in the poli
ical struggle against us. All the moi
valuable offices of the Post office Depar
ment were under the control of the Pres
dent, who had peimitted but very fe
changes. Under this state of things M
Granger had been forced to consider h
duty to the principles he advocated an
to himself personally. After the deepoi
reflection, he could not doubt. He fe
that if the executive power should coi
tinue to th wart the will of the Peopl
as expressed through the ballot-boxes an
through their Representatives in Coi
gross?if bold political partisans were pe
mitted to retain tho places which the
had so long abused, to trample dow
Whig principles; and if. after all this, t
remained in office, the Whigs throughoi
the nation?ay, the Whigs of Old Ontari
by whose partiality he had been so oftc
sustained, would believe that, tor the ei
joyment of office, he had baitered hisar
their principles, and that * Frank Grai
i ger was not tfte man they took him to be." '
Although fully convinced of the course v
it was duty to pursue, Mr. G. said he did r|
1 not feel at liberty to act without the ad- (
vice of the Whig delegation from this v
B State, who gave their unanimous approv* ^
> al of his determination. Then he did fe- t
1 sign, ready to go into the ranks tosuitnin ^
' the Whig party. Mr. Granger said that ^
r here he had a single word to say, as much
injustice to another ashimself. It had
^ been '-sinuated in publie prints, and circulated
in secret whispers, that the mem- j a
I ber of Congress from this district had re- a
i ceived his nomination with an understate- ^
ding with Mr. Granger, that, in a contin- c
^ gencv like that which has arisen, his I
place was to be suirendered. This was
e a miserable calumny, without the slight
est shadow of truth. He (Mr. Granger)
had never heard Mr. Greig named as a
e candidate until informed of his nomim- c
|. tion- He need not say how well the g
trust confided to him had been executed; c
but he would say, in justice to his own p
I feelings, that during the whole of thede- t
licate and perplexing responsibilities ]
growing out of his position in the Govern- j
ment, and the surrender of his place, the t
constant council and advice of that gen- |
6 tlemen had been most useful to him. r
Mr. G. said that on his return he met at s
Albany Mr. Greig's letter of resignation, 2
e which had been followed by the represen- s
' tative9 of the Whigs of u:itario oy a j
nomination inore grateful to his feelings r
than any other occurence of his political ,
e life- i
j Mr. Granger then reviewed the position c
of the Whig party of;the nation, and par i
' ticularly of this State. He said thet our |
" enemies had supposed that those who t
differed from the President were to wage
'* war upon him. and thus produce a breach
e in our ranks. The proceedings of the
* State Convention recently held at Syra"
cuse had dispelled that illusion, and put
0 matters upon the right.
y Should the present Administration car'*
ry out Whig principles, it was entitled to
the support of the Whig party ; and from
no one would such a course receive a
n more hearty support that from him. (Mr.
e G.,) wherever he might be placed. There
n were some few indications that improper (
e officers would be reformed. He trusted (
the President would continue these re- |
e forms, in which it was the duty of good
l" Whigs to sustain him.

( C. on Monday of week before last from ,
0 the account of which in the Register we i
i- make the following extract: I
d Various subjects which came before 1
e the Convention, were discussed with
'* much spirit and ability, and notwithstand9
ing the diversity of sentiment and opihion
expressed on some of them, there was ;
* in no instance, the Ipast exhibition of
unkind feeling, but only a vioing with j
e each other in zeal to advance the great i
j cause. On Tuesday evening, another i
public meeting was held, and the Church, 1
i. though the largest in the City, was crow- 1
s ded ut an early hour. The meeting was
i- addressed by the venerable and eloquent
Dr. Capers, of South Carolina, " in the
s very happiest style and manner. Mr.
!* { Carey, of Baltimore, was then called out j
n and after ft succinct recapitulation ot
Jj the principles of the Washington Tern- 1
perance Society, which had been more
1 fully made known the day before, he
e gave a detailed account of his experience (
as a Drunkard for the last 12 years, and 1
.. (he means of his reformation. It is im- 1
possible to describe the intensity of feeling
exhibited by the audience in Severn I ,
d parts of his simple and affecting narrative <
i* The eirect upon the immense mass was
s sometimes overwhelming. The powor
e which Mr. Carey exercises over an audience,
does not arise from Rny of those
qualifications so generally admired in a
J* public speaker?such as a fine voice, a
commanding person, good gesture?a
smoth flow of language, a lively ifnagination?brilliant
conception,?or any .
"0 such thing. No?nobody will him an

notwithstanding the lateness of the hour,

where the spirit of freedom and independcnce

he was unconscious until an honest member
from the North, who had suffered considerably
by the depredations of the fron- 0

The Veto Power.?The English tory *
journals seize upon the exercise of this'0
power by fhe'president, as an unanswer- J
able evidence that our Government and
Donslitution is. after all, a worse despo
I ism than a monarchy. It must be con- t|
ceded by al! thinking men, whatever may y
be the opinion of foreigners, that it is a '
monstrous power granted to one man, who c
by his simple signature, can annul the J
wishes of millions. The London Times,
jno of the most moderate on this subject, says, j,
"JWr. Tyler, the new President, elevated to 0
that office without any popular election, by a w
dispensation ot Providence at least as scciden- t
lal as tl>? devolution nfa heredatnry monarchy
has placed his veto upon a bill of immense im. n
