men in this city, who owe their temporal sal
walton, and even their present wealth, some Of
them, t. the very women whom they would
thus exclude women who have taken them
from the gutter, washed of their filth, and Civ
on them the first semblance Of decent men they
had worn for long years We shall soon see
alluded in my last letter to certain literary
institutions OF the more reformatory class whose
agents | had met with, and of which had
promised to say kind word One of these is
the New York Central College located at Nc
Granville, Cortland county From a circular
before me, obtained from J. b. Taft, the intel
ligent soliciting agent Of this institution, learn
that it is manual labor institution impartial
in It's privileges and open to all persons of both
sexes of good moral character, who promise to
obey its rules. The principles of the institu-
ton are such as practical religion and Chris
tan civilization demand l. It IL unchange-
ably pledged to the morality Of ti-Slayery
and kindred reforms, and it will ever strive to
sustain the unity, equality, and brotherhood of
the human race 2. IL advocates and secures for
woman equal advantages in literary, scientific,
moral, and physical education, that she may
occupy her true position, and be enabled to CO
operate fully in moulding the sentiments and
actions of the public. g. In providing that as
early as practicable the means of labor shall
be as extensive prOportionately, rs the school
privileges; it encourages and ennobles honest
toll, hoping thus to form in the rising genera
ton, habits of industry, to render all useful en-
pigments respectable, and, indeed to give hon
orable character to physical as well mental
labor, health to the body as well as Hgor to
the mind. The Bible is regarded as the test
book in morals, to be studied in our own and
in the original languages, without Partially
for UNCONVENTIONAL preferences. The officers
are: Rev. A. Scofeld, Georgetown, ~ Y,
President; Archibald Campbell, Hamilton, ~

Granville, N. Y, Corresponding Secretary ;
Philander Knight Scott, N Y Recording Sec.
Rotary; Rev. A. Caldwell McGrawville, N. Y.
Treasurer and General Agent
The other institution alluded to is quite sim
liar to the one above described, and therefore
1T will need but few words to direct attention
to it. 1t is the Grand Prairie ia Harmonial
Institute, which was opened last spring, with
prospects of success, as | am assured In il,
John o. Wattles the principal protector, is
aiming to realize the loveful doctrines, as they
certainly are in aim, whatever difference of
opinion there may be about them, to whose
PRONUNCIATION he has devoted 80 many dsinter-
ccucu JCuTs-uOChiHcs hNOlNIDR lnc
and culture of the whole man. The dietetc
regulations of this institution are to be based
on vegetarian principles, believe; and herein
it mainly differs in its conditions from the Nc.
Granville establishment. Agricultural knowl-
edge and skill will be kept specially in the fore
ground in both, thus aiming to fill too usual
want of our literary Institutions
In the recent notice of the celebration Of
West India Emancipation by the New York
Anti-Slavery Society, was somehow or other
made to say that MIR. Greeley, who failed t.
attend, was the "orator of the day" instead OF
Mr.. Garrison, who stood in that relation. The
error was not very important one, but seeing
that it was complained of in the Aah. Slavery
Standard, in n tone which indicated that its
editors entirely misinterpreted the spirit Of my
whole notice, sent you postscript correction
last week Not finding it attached TO my let
ter presume il did not reach you in time.
take this occasion to repeat my effort ut cor
rection, and to add my assurances of kindest
sentiments towards all concerned in the Anti
Slavery co-laborations of the day.
