shall do all that depend upon me to make them good

pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas the offspring Of ignorance and su
perstition, her ordinary companion.
But knowledge Of science, the exercise Of the
polite arts, will not suffice by themselves for
plete education. Religious ideas should also be in
culcated in their young minds. The belief in one
God is as rational as it is necessary. Though the
rites by which honor the Divinity differ as to form,
they prove one and the object, that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator the Architect of the
Universe. Our religious motto should then be Zole-
ration, loue Of God and our meighbor. Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Ther food
will be healthy and abundant. They shall have for
their recreation and the exercise necessary to their
health, large and spacious play grounds. In fine,

choose no further vote for Speaker shall be
taken until the 9TH of January.
Mr.. Burnett, of Kentucky, would unite on
any conservative man, though he preferred
Democrat. He asked if Mr.. Etheridge did
not, four years ago, nominate Mr.. Millson for
Speaker, and was not Mr.. Millson, for whom
Mr. Etheridge did not vote to-day, the same
man he was then?
Mr. Etheridge Officially, Mr.. Millson is
not the same. He voted against the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise but he supported
the administration on the Lecompton question.
If there be an objectionable political offence,
it is voting for that Lecompton Constitution.
The people of Kansas scorn and loathe and
despise the men who made it.
Mr.. Burnett said the reason why he appeal
ed to Mr.. Etheridge to unite in the vote for
Mr.. Millson was, that he wanted to see unit
ed south, which would do much to rebuke the
endorsers of Helpers book.
Mr.. Etheridge ignored all political and geo.
graphical lines, and, until he (BurnetO could
rally the democratic forces, he should not ar
raign any man elected in defiance OF that par
ty. (Applause.)
Mr.. Burnett spoke of the love OF Kentucky
for the Union (which was applauded), and
asked his colleague Anderson, why he did
not vote for Mr.. Mllson.
Mr. Anderson replied that he was born and
raised Wing, and had voted consistently for
an American and he intended 10 do it to the
end of the contest. He would not vote for
Mr.. Millson, who was a Democrat; and he
could not vote for Mr.. Sherman, who was a
Republican. Further, he (Anderson) was in
avor of the Kansas Nebraska bill, and there
fore could not vote for Mr.. Millson, who voted
against it, daughter and applause.)
Mr. Burnett--But Mr.. Etheridge was here
at the time, and voted against it, along with
Mr.. Millson. Ard yet you can vote for Mr.
Etheridge for Speaker daughter and ap
plause.
Mr. Hill, speaking with much energy, said
when he yielded the floor to Mr. Burnett he
did not expect the latter would stgmatize the
organization to which he belonged as "the mis-
cradle know nothing party" He had voted
for Mr. Millson because he respected that gen
tleman for voting against the kansas-Nebraska
bill, and because Mr.. Millson was incapable OF
appointing any whitewashing committee.
Mr.. Hill came here against the opposition OF
the Democratic party, and with sentiments
rather peculiar, and rather more southern than
those expressed by Mr.. Burnett; but he would
never, so help him God, consent to destroy the
structure under which we live merely because
man with Objectionable political principles
should be elected to the Presidency He
wo. Id wait till some overt act was committed
before he would consent to strike fatal blow.
He was constitutional man, and no other.
His remarks were enthusiastically cheered.
Mr.. Burnett apologized, by saying that, if in
the heat of debate he had used the expression
miserable know nothing party" he would
take il back.
Mr.. Hill said he came here hoping to break
up both the Republican and Democratic par
ties, and erect on their ruins better party
