There was disposition exhibited to-day
on the part of the Democratic members to
provide themselves with small capital (de-

matters on the score Of economy, indicated
how "hard up" they were for stock in trade.
The people arc assured that the Republican

every possible and reasonable manner. They
will not spend their time wrangling over un-
important matters to the neglect ofthe urgent
business before them. AS yet they have

CO The pro-slavery Legislature CT Missouri
have done good thing for the progress of
free principles in that State by refusing to
give charter to Methodist College at JEFF
ferson City, on the ground that the Metho-
dists are hostile to slavery. This was the
only objection raised, and the vote was 81 to
%. The trustees of the institution immedi-
ately resolved to present the charter at every
session till it shall be granted, and the Meth
odsts, who are strong in the State, will not
be likely to vote for the party who prescribe
them for such reason. The self constituted
guardians of slavery,by successfully arraying
every social and religious interest against it,
are most eRectually at work for its overthrow.

~ Among the curiosities Of the day is a
correspondence between Mrs NJ. j. G. Mason
of Virginia, and Mrs. L. Maria Child, of

of slavery with spirit that is almost savage,
hurting severe epithets at Mrs. Child, in
which she displays the true staggering aris-

tuition is assailed. Mrs. Child replies in Lam
