The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-08-21

To organize and endov such College, is work
of the highest duty and philanthropy, as it is
also of the truest Reform; and, It is therefore,
we commend the enterprise to the largest and
most liberal charities of the friends of Progress
throughout the country. We urge the claims Of
the Institution We would create, upon ali who
have o1tgroWn the old system scf faith and Eiu-
cation; and especially upon all such. Hho are
blessed With hBaeGBs tede what the heart prompts
Others will AID IN building up other instlta-
tIODs; VINO will aid IN building up ours? Seeta-
rians will contribute without stint to establish
Institutions devoted TO Sectarianism; who viii
contri butte to establish one such Institution de-
voted to Freedom? Who vail help found ana
endOw one College IN all this broad land, con-
secrated 10 Free Thought and Free Speech on
al subjects? Shall We not have at least one
such. among all these Others, where Freedom Is
cruclled? Snail heformsrs and Liberalists be
less wise or less jealous, than Seetaria1s? Shall
they 40 less to propagate truth than Others to
propagate error? Who among them that have
means, will let slip this opportunity to strike
blow that viii tell SO p0Eerfully In the right d-
reetion, and conduce so eminently 10 the spread
Of free principles, and the advancement Of all
that they esteem Progress? Especially, what
friend of Harmonic Education Will step forward
to aid us3 What friend of the Indian will help
found here College, where many an Indian of
this red mans ancient home, and still further
spreading West, shall yet be isught? What
friend of Woman will give here to otter equal
chairs, and highest Academic hOnors that ever
graeed the brow of man-to Woman? What
enemy of SEGrery will give, here In a Territory
just wrested from its grasp. and on the confines
of State soon to be redeemed from its thrall.
to throw wide open the doors OF favored Seat
of Science to those it has so outlaTed and op-
pressed, and thus welcome to balls OF learning,
the benighted graduates of its dark and ancient
schools? Who that have children to educate,
will help here endoW q College where they may
be educated? Who that wish to educate them
selves, viii first take stock in the College, and
then come here and live On the i've acres they
thereby secure, and thus enjoy the benefits of
the Institution they helped build-eat fruit of
the tree Of their own planting! And who that
are able to give, though not wishing to come
here themselves, nor perhaps to send their chill
dren, Though their scholarships viii educate
any others they may wish to serye,) yet will help
promote an enterprise which shall bless thou
sands of their eountrymen, and especially kindie
beacon star, which shall give light to all the
West? Are there not enough to be found, to
subscribe the fifty shares Sof thousand dollars

started immediateiy-nOw. while the lands TO
be secured for its endowment, are low, aud the
chosen spot is open for the emigration OF those
who would wish to settle there, and the Society
is not formed in the region round about, and
thus the College would be exerting its influence
TO form that sOciety2 Are tnere not enough to
insure this result. by subscribing one share
able, so they will be glad to Subscribe more than
that amount-twO, five, or perhaps ten shares!
And are there not some who will sub ;crlbe hdy
share, (twO uniting their means, and counting
College, such still lesser sum as they may be
able? The aid of all will be needed; and the
sooner that aid can be rendered, the better 1t
will be for our end.
The location of the College is all that could be
asked. Twin Mound, in the county of Douglas,
and Territory of Kansas. so named from tw0
natural Mounds near each other, can hardly be
surpa ssed, either for beauty or healthiness, by
any locality in the West. Add to this, 1t is IN
the heart of rapidly settling country, directly
on a great stage route, tsoon, IN all probability
to be superseded by RaiIrOad,) so that even as
a pecuniary scheme, the College can scarcely fail
to prove profitable investment.
We invite correspondence, touching the mat
ter of establishing the College. Wewish to hear
from our friends in all sections of the couptry
and to receive from them assurances of what
they will do. We shall also be glad to cOmmuni-
cate any other particulars Of our effort. to those
who may desire to be further informed. Letters
addressed to the officers OF the Association,
should be directed President, or Secretary, (as
the case may be,) 7. N. II, q. A., Twin Mound,
Douglas County, Kansas. Letters may also be
addressed to WILLIAM DENTON, same z. o., or to
THOMAS NJ. FISH. Henry, Marshall Co.. Ill, both
of whom are authorized to act as Agents of the
Association. And thus. with firm purpose and
steadfast hope, We commit our enterprise into
the hands of those who are able to bea; it on to
success. By order of the Association,
