If any person thinks that | have not
copied correctly, let them get the Baccalau-
reate, John Fosters essay on decision of
character, and the Rev. Daniel Shepardsons
address delivered before the Cincinnati
Teachers Association, Sept. 10, 1856, pub
lished in the Ohio Journal Of Education, vol.
V, November, 1856, No. ii, and satisfy
themselves that it is correct and that four
hfth5 of his Baccalaureate is a plagiarism
and he often borrows thus his Sabbath eve
ming lectures to the students, and has even
been seen to read the printed leaves cut out
and pasted on writing paper to give it the
appearance of Il manuscript of his own. Be
Sides what evidence | introduced, which
was direct and positive, to the Doctors bad
order and incompetency, and numerous at
that, his own Witnesses acknowledged that
he did not keep as good order as Prof. Bal
lcntine or Prof Wylie; and more, John j.
Morrison, (Dailys witness) who was presi-
dent of the Board when Daily was elected,
and had previously been a Professor in the
Institution, stated, on oath, - that he consid-
cred man who was compelled to plagiarize
unfit for the presidency, and that the Board
would not have elected Daily had they
known or believed this of him" Professor
Campbell testifes that Daily is not scholar
not even a good grammarian, that there
are students in the Freshman class that are
better linguists, and boys and girls not over
fourteen years old, that understand and can
analyze a sentence in..English grammar bet
ter taan Daily, and would avoid errors in
writing which Daily habitually makes He
says, ''How can this man teach, having never
been taught" Prof. Campbell, who was
Dailys classmase during the whole ofDaily's
twelve months colleae course, states that
Daily'S diploma was granted " e1 grdtie,"
a, d not of merit, and that it was so express
ed by DR.. Wylie at the time that the subject
of degrees came up for the class, of which
Daily was an irregular member. One of
the Board previous to the investigation,
swore in the presence of witnesses, that he
would ''sink hell or sustain DR.. Daily
The writer in the Enquirer, whether editor
OF contributor, falsely asserts that the
charges about insults to virtuous females
were not before the Board They were. sir.
and the record will sustain my assertion.
He says that DR.. Murphy preferred two
charges against Daily for making proposals
of intimacy to abandoned women, public
characters of the lowest cast in female de-
pravity." This is false; Adaline Richie is
a mute, and has received her education in
the asylum at indianapolis has been living
sometime in Bloomington with j. and S.
Orchards, and there never was word of
slander spoken of her until this attempt of
Daily; then his friends and satellites indus
triously went to work to traduce her charac-
acter, and an attempt to prove an alibi, but,
unfortunately for them, they did not sue
ceed. | have her evidence but it is too
long to insert IN a communication of this
kind. 1t is not on proof that she is harlot
or untruthful, but it is on proof that she is
strictly truthful. Where would you have
Daily to go on such errands of debauchery?
Where would you expect him to succeed ?
Oh! how "fiimsy." In the next paragraph
