discovered tia, the two principal officers could

not so speedily annhilate state institutions Appi

'heh charter in this among other important par,ic
uiars, and Congress gave clear pr esson Of the
nstioa'e will in peremptory refusing to grant the
application.
Upon this Illustration of their hopes, The Impe, ia
Board of the Mother Institution gathers courage
from despair. and boldly resolve to hazard the i'm
putaiion OF open nraction Of the terms oil their
charter; or what Is worse. an attempt to wade the
