The Jefferson CITY University,


incorporating the Jefferson City Universit
was rejected, in very emphatic mannep
in the House of Representatives. The vol
stood 90 TO l6. Pending the call of'Fayes
and noes, explanations were made by tn
following members
Mr.. JOHNSON of DeKalb wished TO Sc
Jefferson City built up, and he knew that !
was promised that II this movement was en-
,copraged we. should have good hotels, finel,
paved streets, &c., but rather than invit,
Northern Abolitionists here to do ii, h,

remarks were warmly applauded.
Mr.. JoNEs Of Galloway, said that every.
body that knew anything about it knew tina
the Northern Methodist church was SO hos
tile to slavery that they were for excluding
from communion all who hold slaves. VIZ
all know the influence which the teacher
has over the young mind. This he illustra.

TWAS wrong 10 invite people here who
are antagonistic to our Institutions and
rights. He was perfectly willing FOR the
Northern Me!hodists 10 come here, but he
would have them come subordinate TO the
Methodist Church South What could be
expected Of them if we gave them this
charter. We know that all of their efforts
will be directed against the institution OF
slavery. On this question, il was our duty
to be firm, and SO long as he had voice or
arm to raise he would protect the rights Of
all to their religious opinions; but he would
not allow any interference with our politi-
cal rights under the garbsof religiohp This
college, il chartered, would be controlled by
Northern Methodists in the North, and not
by persons who, if here, would soon have
their prejudices removed, and became loyal
citizens. Onthe motion 10 reject the a.
mendment, he voted No. -.'1f o. nuiisas

slavery is concerned, the Northern Metho

This he could do from The resolutions of

House, was refused. .'''
When Mr.. BRowN's name was called, he
explained his vote. The corporators were
Missourians. Gentlemen had better take
care how they 60 upon the record. Oppo-
sition to this bill was prescription.
Mr.. JONES of Galloway, explained his
VOTE. He was satisfied Of the soundness OF
some of the corpora'ors upon the slavery
qiestion, but it would be an easy thing for
the corporation TO get rid of them; and he
knew that the poisoned draught was often
presented in a golden chalice. Alluslon
had been made TO the god which some wor-
shipped. His god was not negro. Lib
ertyl This a country Of liberty! But there
was difference between liberty and Ii
centiousness. He denied that either Thorn
as Jefferson or Henry Clay were opposed
to the institution of African slavery. JEFF
fersen had strongly opposed the slave trade.
The slave trade, he said, had been re. opened
by the men Of the North, and he believed it
would be again adopted and carried on

not in it, but what did Judas mean when

Mr.. SwIrzLER, when his name was
called, redeemed his promise. He did not
intend, he said, TO allow any set of men 10
claim the protection of the Constitution, in
their efforts TO carry on political warfare
under the guise of religion. He read the
section of the Constitution relating to relig-
'ous intolerance. The Methodist Church
South has no political object, but The Church
North has. He read from the resolutions of
the Indiana Conference, which speaks of the
institution of slavery as ''the sum of all vii
lanies," and asserting that the time had
come in which all christians should labor
for the ''extirpa;ion of this evil" His at
tention was called TO the American party
in Indiana. He said there was bogus or
ganization in Indiana, in Massachusetts and
elsewhere that voted for Fremont, but 10
that party he did not belong. From the
resolutions of another conference he read,
in which it is claimed that not by sermons
from the pulpit, and the power OF the press,
but also by an appeal to the ballot box, was
their operations against slavery TO be car
ried on. His remarks elected repeated
applause.)
A Good Hit.
