Great and zealous exertions were used by both parties, and the result considered doubtful for a week previous, and and contrary to all expectation by both the parties, the following is the state of the polls: Congress–Andrew Bierne, Adm., 601; P.

In the transfer of the Institution into the hands of another Board of Managers, the general character and object of the Institution has not been altered or violated, since the article of the Constitution, which “permits no efforts to teach the peculiar tenants of any political party or religious denomination” and which proposes, “that it shall be adapted in all its parts to make thorough and accomplished schools, that the course of study be similar to those pursued in all the Colleges and Universities of the highest standing in our country, that it afford facilities for acquiring a scientific and business education, to those who do not wish to study the learned languages; and that it tends to cultivate a taste for literature and useful knowledge, and to cherish the principles of integrity, honor, patriotism and christianity” still remains the same; thus guarding against the improper influence of sectarian dogmas, and carrying forward upon a more permanent plan, the general object contemplated in the organization of the Institution. The object and intention of the present Board is, to carry out fully, the design contemplated in the original plan, as time and circumstances may demand and means permit, viz. The establishment of a Medical and Law department, in addition to the preparatory department, and the college proper; and to spare no pains in the procuration of highly accomplished and the most approved Professor and Instructors, and all the necessary apparatus required in the progress of a highly finished education. On account of limited time, the nature of existing circumstances, and the nearness of the approaching session, the Board have not made no material change in the regulations of the Institution, and as permanent arrangements were made by the former Board, for the present year, ending in October next with slight modifications, the general arrangements for the ensuing ensuing session, will be as heretofore. In order to attend to necessary preliminary matters, it has been deemed expedient to protract the present vacation two weeks beyond the stipulated time, so that the next session will not begin until the THIRD MONDAY OF JUNE, at 10 o'clock, A.M. at which time, the session will open, and the exercises commence with a suitable address by the President of the Faculty.
