A College in Prospect.


At the last session of the Ohio Confer
ence Of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
it was resolved that FIRST class female col.
lege be established within the bounds OF
said conference. A committee was ap-
pointed to hear propositions from such
places as might desire the location OF such
college, said committee to report to the
next annual conference. Accordingly the
town or city that sends up the best induce
ment will get the college. Lancaster has
many advantages near the centre Of the
cor ference, is not near any other institution
lis beautiful place. with rich surround
ing country and generally healthy. But
she must send up good subscription
then hardly any other place can compete
with her. Every establishment. whether
mechanical or otherwise, increases I. the
population and brings travel and money to
the place. Fairfield county has neglected
her interests too long. A large amount o.
money has went elsewhere that should
have been used at. home. The amoun
paid fer sending children abroad would
60 far towards building an institution
here;-even the travelling expenses woult
be considerable sum. A citizen Of oul
county (tht late Jedediah Allen) gave a
donation to college elsewhere that woult
have been sufficient to build one hera.--
This would undoubtedly have heen givel
| ere il opportunity had been offered. Thi
institution wherever located will be fire,
from sectarisnism. The pupils may at
tend such place of worship as they or thei
parents may chose, 1t will be literary
not theological. The conference will pat
roniEe it and appoint a portion Of the tfus
tees from their own membership. Il
other institutions about one third
All successful institutions Of this kin,
must be under the superintendent ant
patronage Of some christian denomination
Two meetings have already been held il

take measures to carry out the above sug
gestious. The people in all parts Of tn
county will soon be called on to eo.opa

ocrot!--In our opinion il is oueof the three
forms Of government; government where
the law making power is declared as be-
longing equally to the wi ole people, or in
other words, where the will Of the MAORI
ty is recognized as the supreme power Of
the land. Is the will Of the majority al.
ways right? this We think a debaiable
question. Brother Beatty seems to think
Democracy never committed wrong
Brigham Young may establish poligamy
and the Mormon religion; Kansas, or any
other territory, may establish the worst
form of slavery that ever existed. and all
by the Democratic rule. with overwhelm'
ing majorties; this would be Democratic
but morally wrong. This twiddls twad-
die about the infalitiliiy If Democracy,
reminds us Of the anecdote about the old
woman who thought that her guinheas
were all turkeys because they had been
matched in turkeys nest.
II we desire 10 avail ourselves OF the
glorious privileges ofa Democratic form O.
government, e must treat our opponents
frankly and fairly. and by all possible
means. shed light. morally and scientitical'
ly upon the minds Of the masses. In
