A SNARE IN THE CASA writer in
the Baptist Chronicle, published at New
Orleans, signing himself'A MississiRpian,
undertakes to furnish the public with in
formation Of vast Importance, in reference
to the University. II is not difficult to de-
tect the underewrcnt, the capital motive Of
the writer, which is to do gross injustice
to portion of the Trustees of the Univer.
sity, who happened not to come up to his
standard fright and ProPriety. Whoever
he is, he is an uncharilable bigot, and is
either entirely ignorant of the discussions
which took place in the Board twelve
months ago, or is determined TO misrepre-
sent the motives and grounds occupied by
portion Of the Board; and thus to injure
the usefulness Of the institution. No at.
tempt was ever made 10 give the Universe

Judge Wilkinson, to whom the writer,
doubtless, Olludes, contended that, as
matter of policy and to secure the inStita-
dion against the seetarianism 81 ihe church
Is, preachers should not be selected TO I'll
the various chairs. Az the same time he
recommended the largest provision FOR re-
ligious exercises in the University. To
show that his design was not as stated by
"A MisshsipPiaH. and ihat his position
was not so interpreted by the liberal.min-
ded ofIhosc who heard him, we have only
TO mention the fact that considerable
number Of chHrehmen. and among them a
prominent divine ofthis vicinily,who heard
Judge Wilkinson, cordially assentcd to and
approved Of his course. Our intention is
not to defend Judge wilkinsOn's peculiar
Tiews. Indeed, wedid not wholly approve
,f every thing he said and did; although
We knew that he was actuated b the pur. ,
st motives, and impslled by what he con.
ieived to be the real interest Of the Uni. &
