JUSTICE TO A DISTINGUISHED CHAMPION
OFTHE SOUTH.

We take great pleasure in republishing from the
Missouri State Journal just and able tribute to the
faithful services of President James Shannon of the
University Of Missouri, in the cause Of the South
PRESIDENT Shannon's powerful address was delivered
Ut 'a'ous points in the State of Missouri during the
pa'' summer, and brought down upon his head the
o'0' a'sauts OF freesoilism, both North and South
'ono'ha'on Of freesoilisrn, Know Nothingism and
'ne ot all the various form. of secarian in
tolerance In The late Missouri Hiss Leeislature-a

coeued III passing law, prohibiting the President
anu Professors OF the State University from preach
ing. This, we earn is in direct violation of ,be pres
dents contract with the Curators at tho ,me ,f h;s
appoln'lnent-and the law was no doubt intended to
drive him out of the Presidency. They NAV succeed
in this unworthy hunt-but We utterly mistake the
lofty character of the enlightened President Shannon.

pen, in defence of Southern Rights;

Much has been said by the Freesol and Know.
Nothing press of this State, and in the Free States

public address, delivered at sundry places within
the State during the University vacation, to vind-
cate the institution Of Domestic Slavery from the al
tacks constantly being made upon it by the Abo.
ton party in the North. The fact that not only the
masses in the Free States, but many Shareholders,
either regard the institution as primarily viola

not moral wrong; and that very much Of tho anti.
