To orr.uise and endow such College, Is work
of the highest duty and philanthropy, as it is
also Of the truest reform; and, I'll therefore
most liberal charities Of the friends iof Progress
throughout the country. We urge the eclaims Of
the Institution we would create, upon all who
have outgrown the old systems Of faith and Edu
cation; and especially upon all such. who are
blessed with means todo what the heart prompts.
Others will aid in building up other institu-
tions; who will aid in building up oursI Secta-
rians will contribute without stint to establish
Institutions devoted to Seetarianism; who will
contribute to establish one such Institution de-
voted to Freedom? Who viii help found and
endow one College in all this broad land, con-
secrated to Free Thought and Free Speech on
all subjects? Shall we not have at least one
such, among all these others, where Freedom is
crueifed? Shall Reformers and Libera!ists be
less wise or less jealous, than Sectarians! Shall
they do less to propagate truth than others to
propagate errorf Who among them that have
means. will let slip this opportunity to strike q
blow that will tell so powerfully in the right di
rection, and conduce so eminently to the spread
of free principles, and the advancement Of all
that they esteem Progress? Especially, what
friend Of Harmonic Education viii step forward
to aid us? What friend Of the Indian will help
found here a College, where many an Indian Of
this red mans ancient home. and still further
spreading West, shall yet be taught! W nat
friend Of Woman will give here TO offer equal
chairs. and highest Academic h0nors that ever
graced the brow of man-to WomanI What
enemy OF Sldce,y will give, here In 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 a favored Seat
Of Science to those it has so outlawed and op-
pressed. and thus welcome to balls OF learning,
the benighted graduates Of its dark and ancicnt
schools? Who that have children TO educate,
will help here endow q College where they may
be educated2 Who that wish to educate them
then come here and live on the five acres they
thereby secure, and thus enjoy the benefits Of
the Institution they helped build-eat fruit of
the tree Of their own planting7 And who that
are able to give. though not wishing to come
here themselves. nor perhaps to send their chill
dren, (though their scholarships will educate
any others they may wish to serve) yet will help
promote an enterprise which shall bless thou
sands Of their countrymen, and especially kindle
beacon star, which shall give light to all the
West? Are there not enough to be found, TO

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,ocation Of the College is all that could be
asked. Twin Mound, in the county of Douglas
and Territory of Kansas, 50 named from two
natural Mounds near each other, can hardly be
surpassed, either for beauty or healthiness. BY

We invite correspondence, touching the mat
