MISSION INSTITUTE.

This Institution continues to afford facilities to
the poor who wish to study for missions or the
ministry. No tuition is required Of such, and
the Of hooks is also furnished them gratuitous-
ly from alibrary ofover 3, 900 volumes. Those who
wish to devote their lives exclusively to the cause
Of Christ, OF whatever evangelical denomination,
are cordially invited to Mission Institute, Quincy,
Illinois
About twenty foreign missionaries have gone
forth, while more than forty labor in the different
States and Territories Of our own land. In addi-
ton to these, large number of school teachers
have received their educ ,tion at this Institution.
As DIR. Beecher remarked a few days since, there
probably never was an age or land presenting
such an urgent demand for ministers, coporteurs,
AMI school teachers, as our own. From statistics
II appears that in some branches Of the church
there are more congregations requesting pastors
than there are candidates for the ministry. This
important fact should lead Christians 10 pray
ferventy for an increased baptism of the Holy
Spirit, especially upon the youth Of the church,
that they may he led TO exclaim, Here, Lord, am
J. send me-" Encouragement and opportunities
should also be furnished such as have an inclina-
ton for the work. Any wishing futher informa-
ton with regard to the plan and privileges Of
Mission Institute, can address either of the fol-

PUBLIC MEETING.

At public meeting composed Of all political
parties, held in Peterborough, N. Y, 2sth March,
1885, for the purpose Of expressing their views Of
the doings Of Congress in relation TO the question
Of slavery,
George Cink was called to the chair and T..
c. Hyde was appointed secretary.
Strong resolutions were adopted, among them
the following
Resolpsd, That we view with indignation the
efforts made in Congress to prevent the admission
Of California, as q free State, unless the North
make concessions to slavery, which are at war
with the plainest principles of natural justice, the
revealed will Of God, the sentiments Of our CON-
mon humanity, and the claims Of patriotism and
honor.
Resolued, That we are inexorably opposed TO
the admission Of any more slave States to this
Union; to the continuance Of slavery in the Ter
ritories and District Of Columbia; and to the en-
sctment by Congress of any laws or regulations
adapted to countenance and foster slavery, or 10
extend the curse over this continent, or through
any part Of the world
Resolued, That the Hon. William ii. Seward,
by his ad vanced position on the subject Of human
rights; by his refusal TO compromise the interests
of freedom; by his able and eloquent defence OF
those great principles which render nations vir.
tuous and illustrious--has merited ana secured
our admiration and respect; and We assure him
and the honorable John p Hale and others In
Congress- who stand BY his side in this great bat
tie for freedom that the yeomsnry OF the North
will sustain both him and them, 30 long and 30
far a. they are faithful to the right and the true.
Resolved, That Daniel Webster, by avowing his

Washington Co.. Pa, Jan. GO, 1850.
SIR notice that on presenting the Missouri
resolutions, against prohibiting slavery in the
newly-acquired Territories, you asserted your
conviction shat the people Of the State Of Mis-
souri, when the time arrives, will prove to ell
mankind, that every sentiment in those resolu-
tions, from first to last will be sustained by themD
Now, sir, permit me to propose few inquiries
for your consideration, touching this very impor-
tant matter.
/. What proportion of the citizens of Missouri
are slaveholders7 @ What possible motive can
exist for non shareholders to desire the extension
Of slavery into the Territories7 3. What pro-
portion Of the shareholders themselves desire the
extension Of this peculiar institution beyond its
present limits
Presenting that you, sir, will not be inclined TO
answer these questions, will endeavor to do 1t
for YOU l. According to the census of ls40, the
population of Missouri was 37S, 702-the number
Of slaves was 5s,24O. Surprising the average
number Of slaves belonging to each individual
owner to be FIVE, Missouri had 1850 slavehold-
ers this shows their number TO be about cne-
nDeay-ssretth Of the population. There can be
no reason for any intelligent, rejecting non-slave-
holder TO desire it's extension into the Terrific
ries-it could be of no personal advantage to him,
neither can il be Of any general utility TO the
country, but confessedy a great detriment to it's
prosperity. Consequently, no man, apart from
the STAKEHOLDER himself, except he be a down
right ninny, can desire that slavery should be
planted in the Territories. 3. From my own
personal knowledge Of the people Of Missouri, |
can say that there is q respectable portion even
Of the Shareholders who do not desire It's extern

she passed from a Territorial to State form OF

State from North TO South and from East TO
West-in short, resided In the State from 1917
TO iSi3, and cannot well be mistaken relative to
the state OF public sentiment on the subject OF
slavery Extension. And now, sir, IL sm correct
in my calculations this subject, instead OF the
PEOPLE Of Missouri joining 10 effort to dissolve
the Union on the passage Of the Wilmot Proviso
you can only muster 8 part Of the eleven thousand
shareholders for such q purpose No, sir the
people Of Missouri will never nuliify the laws OF

DEATHS.

Died, in Fairview, Jones county, Iowa. on the
let instant, Mrs M.ny ANN MATsoN, wife of the
honorable S. G. Matson.
Mrs. Matson was native of Rutland county,
Vermont. Ii seldom falls to our lot TO record the
death of one whose loss is more seriously felt by
large circle of friends. Several weeks previous
to her death, she arranged her domestic matters,
assuring her heart-broken husband, mother and
children, that the time of her dissolution was near
at hand
Died in Columbia N. H., April ID, 1850, of
affection Of the heart, SAMUEL b. PArsoNs, Esq,
at twenty years Of age, son Of Hezekiah Par
sons, Esq.
In bis death, society has lost a young man of
bright talent, handsome attainments and pure
mind and the cause of liberty, devoted and
ardent friend. OF the most amiable disposition
and gentlemanly department, he was ready, at
the sacrifice of health and life TO advocate and
advance the cause Of the enslaved. His last
moments were cheered by the consultations of
religion, and but few hours before his depart
ure, he united with weeping relatives and friends
in concentrating the death Of that Saviour
through whom alone comes perfect freedom.
