magnificent appropriation of S400 900 was
made some time since by Mr.. Matthew Vassar
a wealthy brewer of Poughkeepsie, for the ereo-
ton and endowment of an institution near that
city, the object of which, as stated by its foun-
der, s"to accomplish for young women what
our colleges are accomplishing for young men. u
This institution is completed, and will be open
for the reception of pupils on the Doth inst. If
the proposed object Of its founder be carried out
'N asssr Female College will reflect lasting
honor upon his name and NAV do something
toward settling the vexed question, What is the
best system of education for young women?
There is reason to fear, however that this
well meant institution NAV break down at the
very start on account of idiosvncrases of GER
tain of the board OF trustees, whose peculiar
notions are rather ahead of the times Indeed,
the conservative members of the board have
taken alarm, and il is rumored that number of
them will resign

Gently delivered a DISCOURSE which he has printed
entitled, God the Perpetual Remover" in
which the doctrine and practice of miscegena-
ton, as understood by filton & Co, is advocated
Enthusiastically and earnestly. The following will
tell the story: d" God is gathering on this CONT
nent, in this broad domain OF liberty, the ele-

fight in opposition to His purpose, cease to
build our pretty dykes against the tidal current

laws of equal justice, impartial freedom, and
Christian fraternity require"
And again. -'But what does all this mean you
ask. Does il mean free education with the whites
Does it mean unrestricted competition in all
branches of business, and for all the rewards OF
honor and wealth? Does il mean free citizen

But enough OF this Let parents who think Of
sending Their young daughters to this institution
