DISGRACEFUL FACTS.

who believes and teaches that American slavery is
an institution ordained and approved of God. II
he had ventured to deny the doctrine of the Trinity
or any other item of the popular creed the pulpits
of New England would have famed against him
as hereto, until they had made the place TOO hot
to hold him. As he is "all right" in relation tC
abstract theology, and wrong simply upon a ques
ton of Fundamental morality and practical Chris
tianity-a question involving only the guilt or in
nocence of the practice of buying and selling men
women and children like brutes and keeping them
in mental darkness and ignorance-nobody thinks
Of disturbing him, and the New England pulpit'

DESTRUCTION OF THE PARKVILLE LUM

be considered perfectly authentic.

j. Patterson, who have for years been manfestlng
Free Soil and Abolition proclivities, through the
Luminary and otherwise, were ordered to depart
from the country in three weeks. The resolutions
speak like flint TO the poaoder--like determined pat
riots who know no fear, and mean to defend their
rights and their institutions. Let the be
fairly understood-let the world understand that
tie DeOrle, in honest simplicity and determination
have destroyed the press and fixtures OF the LII

Park and William j. Patterson who are citizens
of a slave State supported by Shareholders mon

tfe institution of Slavery, and the interests and
safety of our people AMI property week after
week the columns of their paper have been ted
with violent denunciations of the Pro-Slavery men
of Missouri and Kansas, and in open and ayowed
aid of the "Aid Societies" of the North. For
this they have sufered-for nothing else. Let

Gov. Shannon's Speech at West
port-A Fusion Back-out.

The Fusion papers have at length produ-
ced what they call their "proof" that Gov,
Shannon expressed hemself in favor of sla-
very in Kansas, in his speech in Westport.
Here it is, furnished by Mr.. Redpath, who
claims to be the Westport correspondent of
the ST. Louis Democrat. Mr.. R. says
"In my sketch, caused Gov Shannon
to say, that as Missouri and Kansas were
adjoining States, and that as the immense
commerce up the Missouri, which was al
ready riva ling the commerce between the
United States and certain European coun-
tries, would nescessarily lead to perpetual
intercourse between them, it would be
we'll for the institutions OF both 10 harmo-
nize, as otherwise there would be border
feuds and quarrels between them.
Gov. Shannon in his Herald of Freedom
letter, writes, that he said It ould be bet.
ter for the feelings of both to barmonize,
as neither could gain anything by border
feuds between them - ....
Following this, are afilavts to prove
Gov. S. said "institu ions" and not "feel
ings". And this IS the upshc THE grand
finale of this model lie of the Fusionists
In commenting upon this subject, the
Plain Dealer makes the following sensible
aud just remarksi
"The gist Of the whole speech as claimed
was summed up and quoted in italics as the
emphatic language of the Governor: II am
for slavery in Kansas" The charge isnow
wholly abandoned, not only by the cores
poudent, but by his affidavit maker' and
the very fusion prints which so loddly abla-
zoned it through the country They all adj
nit that Gov. Shannon made no such deca.
ration aud are now trying to make out that
in the course of his speech he said some
thing which by tortuous construction
might be considered equivalent to it, Thal
won't do gentlemen; your original lie you
must S, lex to or abandon. When that is
| disposed Of, we will examine the Witnesses
on other points Whether Gov. Shannon
said "feelings" or 'institutions" we care
not in this connection. His statement. how
ever, we shall credit in preference to those
distant and unknown affidavit makers, and
We shall ask the Herald and other abe lition
prints to do the same. They decrled as an
outrage that their idol, Chase, should b.
charged With iavouring Higher law Reso.
luton passed at Convention, where he,
Chase, was on the Resolution Committee,
after he had denied thename, although ne
such denial appeared on record; and now
we hold these gentlemen to their own rule

ter, was considered good, certainly, Gov
Shannon's denial, made at the time, ough
To be considered good" l.-...

Now while we are willing to grant that a
commodity is usually valued by its pos
SCISSOR chiefly from the amount Of time,
modey and labor bestowed upon it; still we
are inclined to concur in the general Opin-
ion that the present proposed rates might
be safely reduced somewhat, so az to meet
the present necessities Of the community.
In proposing the above rates the Trus-
tees had in view simply the value Of pro-
fessional knowledge, without any particular
reference to the pressing demand for it, a.
mong large class of teachers in our State.
who feel somewhat limited in their means,
and therefore, unable to make any very lib
eral outlay, at present, in professional prep
sration. And while we are most decidedly
of the opinion that even these teachers
would be great gamers in the end. (could
they but So pursuade themselves even at
the present proposed rates; yet for their
present accommodation, and for an induce
ment to those who may be somewhat unac
quaintcd with the real benefits Of Normal
School training, we feel safe in assuring our
friends that the present proposed rates will
be reduced as to suit the wants and conve-
niences of all.
1t might be further stated that the ar.
rangement in this particular, made on the
81 inst. was not to be regarded as 6nal, but
temporary mercy and hence subject 10

require, at the annual meet ting of the Board
