TO organize and endoW such College, is a work
Of the highest duty and philanthropy, as IL Is
also of the truest Reform; and, it is therefore.
most ibersI csrit;eS af t5s fs;erds ND ana
throughout the country. We urge theelaims of
the Institution we would create upon all who
have outgroBn the old systems of faith and Edu
cation; and especially upon all such, who are
blessed with mems todo what the heart prompts
Others viii aid IN building up other institu-
tlons; who will aid In building up ours? Secta-
Tians VIII contribute without stint 70 establish
Institutions devoted to Sectarianism; who viii
contribute to establish one such Institution de-
voted to Freedom? Who viii help found and
endow one College in ali this broad land, con-
seerated 10 Free Thought and Free Speech on
al subjects? Shall we not have at least one
such, among all these others, where Freedom Is
erueifiedE Shall Reformers and LiberaIists be
less wise or less Jealous, than Sectarians? Shall
they DO less to propagate truth than others to
propagate error? Who among them that have
means, VIII let slip this opportunity TO strike a
biow that viii tell so powerfully In the right di-
reetlon, and conduce so eminently TO the spread
OF free principles, and the advancement of all
Inat they esteem Progress? Especially, what
friend OF Harmonic Education viii step forward
to AID Us? What friend of the Indian vii! help
found here College, where many an Indian of
this red mans ancient home, and still further
Spreading West, shall yet be taught? What
friend of Woman will give here to offer equal
race and equal prize - perchanee Professor 8
chairs, and highest Academic hOnors that ever
graced the brow of man-to Woman? What
enemy OF SLdCeTy will give, here in Territory
Just Wrested from its grasp, and on the confines
OF Q state soon to be redeemed from its thrall
70 throw wide open the doors of favored Seat
OF Science to those it has so outlawed and op-
pressed, and thus welcome to balls of Learning,
the benlghted graduates of its dark and ancient
schools! Who that have children to educate,
viii help here endow a 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 10 give, though not wishing to come
mere themselves, nor perhaps to send their chill
dren, Though their scholarships will educate
any Others they may wish to serYe,) yet will help
promote an enterprise which shall bless thou
sands OF their countrymen, and especially kindle
a beacon star, which shall give light to all the
West? Are there not enough to be found, to
subscribe the fifty shares (of a thousand dollars
edch) at once, so that the Institution may be
started immediately-now, while the lands to
be secured for its endowment, are low. and 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 society? Are there not enough to
insure this result by subscribing share apiece;
and yet, are there not some, who, as they are
able, so they will be glad, to subscribe than
that amount-two, five, or perhaps ten shares?
And are there not some who will subscribe hdJ
share, 1.-TWO uniting their means, and counting
as one,) and others, yet, who will d)1dte to the
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 it
will be for our end.
TheEocattop of the College is all that could be
asked. Twin Mound, in the county of Douglas,
and Territory of Kansas, so named from two
natural Mounds near each other, can hardly be
surpassed, either for beauty or healthiness. by
any locality in the West, Add to this. it is in
the heart of a rapidly settling country, directly
on great stage route, (soon, in all probability,
to be superseded by Railroad,) 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 country,
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, (a5
the case may be) 7. NJ. II, C. 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 bear it on to
success. By order of the Association,
HENRY HIATT, President.
ELIZABETH NJ. f. DENTON, Sec'y.
