Mr.. BENNETT furnished the following explana-
ton CT his vote:
! MIR Speaker: 1 shall vote for the proposition as
it passed this House, not committing myself TO any
particular principle upon The subject. This being
A local question, and the people who own the Aead-
envy or Institute desire this thing be DONE and
thew are acquainted with the feeling and condition
of their community better than myself shall vote
not 10 concur with the Senate's amendment for can
we'll imagine sir, the blithng and desolating inhu-
enee of sectionalsm; for indeed and in Truth this
day and time in high literary institutions there
| seems be great desire Of the churches to obtain
the control and charge CT such institutes, and the
| most vindicIiVe strife has been gotten up in com
| munities, and elimination and recrimination has
been the result, and cur best schools aft .cled and
| seriously injured Yet original proposition l
| would not for it, but the nuniiy where this
ms itue of learning is situated asking and desiring
it. should vote for it, but DO not wish to be UNDER
| stood as opposing the churches, for trust that
they may ali prosper and increa their numbers,
and succeed in the reformation Of the world.
The question recurring upon concurrence
in the S;nae amendment striking out the clause
which prohibits the employment of persons raised
or educated North Of Mason DixOH's line Ia the
Tull Iona Academy
Mr. EWING pronounced The clause unc1nstiiu-
tional and as another on the part Of somebody
TO seeIiOnalEs the country, which eventually would
bring about what every good man fears and only
traitors desire-a dissolution of this glorious con-
federaey of ours. lie would like 10 sSe man who
would record his vote in favor of that proposition.
Mr BEATTY said if the gentleman would look at
him he could see who would vote for it, and
who had sent his children northern teachers but
these people ask "a for it, and he would vote for il,
though he ~ould not vote for it original pro-
position for he deprecated the principle
| Mr. VAUGHAN endorsed the principles In the
clause stricken out by the Senate. He did not en-
dose the wording in the section, but his honest SEN
| timent wss against the aching Of southern chill
dren by the dangerous element from the North de
thought abolition feeling i'll the South had sprung
from this source, and consequently he condemned
this principle Of the importation OF purit Inieal New
j | England teachers into southern schools.
Mr. KENNEDY said the Board of Trustees have
the control of this matter, and he was opposed Ia
the Legislature taking any action upon that subject
If the Trustees desire they could exclude Northern
: teachers, and he thought it would be going beyond
the limits Of legislation to take any step 10 this d
rectiou.
, MIR WHITMORE should oppose the amendmen
because il is snt.-demOcratic, and he was sorry u
see some members on the Democratic side IN favo
I Of it. He would think there Wssnot man on elthe
! | side Of the House that would vote for j.. 1t wa
shocking to the sense of every one. IL was IN op
position to the principles OF the great apostle @
Democracy, Thoma, Jefferson, and 1t was Wors
prescription thaa the Know Ngthing ritual ID
| agreed wi b the gentleman from Williamson Mr.
: Ewiugl wien he said he cared not where man i
= | raised il he is qualified for the position he Wou
= | go for an amendment prohibiting his employ
| ment For that and other reasons which he ccu
Z | name he should vote ag iinst The clause.
Mr.. BRAZELTON said that clause passed tn
| House without an investigation, but he cast no ion
put alton upon he authlr. lie should vote TO eoneu
: | in striking it out.
Mr.. BAYLESS was sorry that we could not legis
1 late on lille local m1ter without talking sbou
party and geographical lines. He was in favor o
:, concurTiDg in the Senate amendment, striking GU
the clause under consideration.
Mr.. SHE'D could see cons itutlonal obJectio
TO this clause. He thought it right to commence i
literary institutions to keep out these Norther
Influences. He would send his children to a schoo
careful that he was not q FIee-soiler Black Reput
& lican or Abolition list.
t, Mr. BENNETT should vlte to concur with ih
= Sansre amendment. Whother man be from tn
/ North the South it MAS immateria 80 he has tn
right kind of head ami heart lie believed Their
we're as true men north of Mason xOn's line a
IT ever brestled the breath Of human life. We ougb
l. never have voted for this proposition upon tn
2 argument that these people want it The Board
% Trustees have the power to reject Northern teach
Ill 1l-a for fha Drnn n
the sake of his frleni from Coffee, (Alr Sheid) 70
1. whom he would do almost auytbiDg, but he coul
it for this clause account of his friend
ls any body else.
