that place is given for the skech of the

The Developments presented show that
much labor is 10 be performed, in the free

existing against colored people. The
case may now be stated as follows 1.-THE
blacks are so ignorant that they cannot
become instructors OF their kind, in litera~

pare them for insiructng others, and the
response is, you are too bI0ck for US to

MiddIebury College,

Considerable stir has been made OF late,
by an application Of coored young men
for admission TO this College. We have
thought best to wait to know tie utmost
of the matter, before we published any
thing in reference TO il. By some, the
President and Professors have all been
condemned for not receiving them others
have blamed the President aone-ohers
have laid the b'ame to Gov. SIade-and
others sill have auded the College for
dec1dsng 10 recejrs them. We have real
v been amused TO see the contradictory
statements in he various papers, bot Q
have been unable posilivel y 10 eorrec. ell

We now present the letter OF Gov,
SIade, 10 reply 10 the call of the Editors
ofthe " Green Mountain Freeman" which
doubtless is plain statement OF the facts
in The case. We regret most seriously
that MiddIebury College had not said at
once " they shall be receired." 1t would
have engraved her an mperishabe Eame,
W hich ages TO come-it not the present
age, would mention with honor. Blu!
above all. it would have been RIGHT, and
God hmseIf.would have approved The act.

would shut them out OF our Institutions of
