There was Convention Of Western College
Presidents at Chicago, last week, the chief
business Of which, so far as published ac-
counts Indicate, was to com plain of the un-
popularity and meagrc support of the col
leges. No practical means to improve their
condition seem to have been devised, except
the unimportant and wrong one Of demand.
Ing that The proceeds Of the lands given to
the States for agricultural education be dis
tribnted among the various colleges. This
would be manifest peryersien Of the Govern
ment bounty from the designed object, and
to the college. The difficulty Is that there
arc too many Of these institutions, and on
this account they cannot be otherwise than
poor In money aud in character ns educa-
tional Institutions. And this excess ofcol-
leges arises from sectarfan ambition. Each sect
State, md a. 1t Is Impossible to obtain for
them respectable number Of students or de-
cent local support, they live by sending beg
sing agents over the country. The whole
system Is false. It involves a gross waste
of means. There Is no more reason for put
ting colleges under sectar1an control thau
common schools, and II half the money now
Invested In keeping np some scorcs ofabor-
upon two or throe, these would become great
and noble tnsdtutious, an honor snd 6iess-
Ing to the country. It would also marc q

lIgious faith. The instructors In o few we'll
endowed institutions would be men Of large
talent and learning, and professorshlps
would not be, as at pre- sent in too many cascs,
plaees Of refuge for supcrannuated and unsuc-
cesful preachers. If the Western College
Presidents dcsiIe to make their Institutions
popular and paying, let them consolidate;
let these institutions be placed upon broad,
unsectariau basis, and made worthy Of honor
and support, aud they will obtain both. The
truth Is that men Of means and libernltty are

to be either rich or better for all that they

II is essential to the cure of the sick that
there shalt be no mistake "a to TIC natusc Of
the disease. When that Is once clcarty
nsccrtaincd, thea there need BE- no doubt
shat remedy is to be employed. The South
has been Id state Of chronic disorder for
long TING, and the reason why there has
been no greater progress in restoring II 10
sound and healthy condition, is TO 10 found
in Strange blindness In those who have had
tho charge of its cure. and who have CON
stantly and persistcntly made use Of RENE
dies utterly inapplicablc to the case.
Men have persuaded themselves that the
ailments nud disorders Of tho South can
be removed BY Tho application OF republican
principles and the doctrines Of human rights
and equal Justice, and that the South Itself
could be persuaded to try this remedy. But
the fact is that 1t was this very method of
treatment ngainet which that scction re-
yolted; 1t never suited the constitution Of
the patient; nud whenever this kind Of med
icine Is presented tho only result Is to throw
IL into new and more violent spassns, and to
iucrsase the danger that 1t may never re-
cover. Slavery was the life and strength OF
the South. In il the South Lived, brrathcd
and had its being, and II deprived OF this 1t
had no life. This truth Was always pal
pable and always nvowel by Southern
men. They knew that without slavery
the south as 1t had been could NOT
exist for moment. Hence there WAS always
IN The South an ever present and uuyicldlnG
antagouism to the spread Of free principles
and equal rights. 1t was TO keep these
principles aud rights away from the South,
and build up walls through which they could
never penetrate, that the Confedcfacy vas
established and the rebellion begun. And

Northern opinions and human rights.
In this condition Of Southern feeling there
seems to be no Lopc that this rcbellious Sec
