We are as much opposed to prescribing
a man because OF the place of his birth, az
the Tribune, or any one else. But when
foreign born citizens intend to preserve
their former nationslities, and as a body
seek TO operate in political or religious mat

to look out II is only against this that we

ALUMNI MEETING.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Alumni of Indian
Asbury University at their late re-
union
GREENcAsTLE, July Is, 1857.
The Alumni of Indian, Asbury
University in their Annual Reunios,
deem it advisable to adopt the follow
ing resolutions:
ReSolred. That it is with profound
regret we learn of the recent Difficult
ties. which have taken place in the
University; and while we are dispos-
ed to censure no one, we can but re-
gard these difficulties as having al
ready passed, the results as being
but temporary, and that the future is
vet bright for our Alma Mater.
Resolved, That the action of the
Board of justices in their selection of
Judge David Mcdonald as the future
President of this University meets
our approbation-that in him we be-
hold the scholar, the governor, and
the christian fitted in an eminent de-
gree tor the position they nave as
signed him.
Resolred, That the Trustees have
acted wisely in re-electing to PROBES
sorship in this Institution, Cyrus
Mutt and Miles J. Fletcher-that the
distinguished ability with which they
have heretofore discharged the du-
ties that will again be incumbent
upon them, is sufficient guarantee
of their future auccess..
Resolred, That we are deeply inter-
ested in the welfare Of Indiana As
bury University and still retain un-
impaired confidence in her future
prosperity.

EMIGRATION TO MISSOURI,

: Confident az we were that the prospect OF
removing slavery from Missouri would tend
at once 10 its increase in wealth and popula-
ton, welhad no idea that the effect Of a sim
gle election would be 50 great, in 40 short n
time Here the talk OF those who expect to
emigrate, of Missouri speculatorsa relook
ing after Missouri lands and not few are
moving there in preferenceto Iowa
The Missouri Democrat Of last week says,
that within sixty days 100000 acres Of
land have been entered in that district, and
almost entirely by emigrants from Free
States, chiefly Ohio and Pennsylyania The
amount exceeds that Of three years previous
at the same Office. In the Warsaw District
100000 acres had been bought within about
the same period, and the Office was closed.
Two thousand acres per day are being en-
tered in the Jackson District, and in the Pal
myra District there are only about 10000
acres Of land subject to entry. In the north
western part Of the State emigrants are tur
ming into Missouri from Iowa, where Free
dom has made the land SO valuable thai
they dislike buying In consequence, they
have invaded Missouri, not as the Missouri
ans invaded Kansas, with pistols, whisky
Jugs and murder, but with money, ploughi
and thrift Thisis the result, the Democra
says, Of the settled conviction that Missouri

Wick was terribly indignant, whereupor
Dr.. Cox had him arrested for contempt
After a weeks consideration he concluded
that, rich as he was, he had better com,
