The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-10-20

In MS letter 70 Ll4nce1Df w auueis
Gov. Alcorn speaking for his .'Republi
can Board" went farther In the way of
rensurc than decency warranted 1t was
an unbeconing exhibition Of DISCONTINUED
and wrath. But this eftlsion is mild
with the violent attack which
be has written, or prompted, in the Pilot,
his organ.
The latter, end also his letter, we have
copied in THE CLARION that the people
Of the State may be informed how the
Trustees of the University are iusulted
because responding to a natural and
proper inquiry under the circumstances,
they have frankly said that the instituI
ton was established for the white race
that they would not admit students of the
negro race, and would instantly resign
if they were required so to do.
This was the sum of their offence against
the Mongrel officials who by the grace of
Ames' bayonets, have temporary control
of the government of the State. The
Faculty published nothing but what
truth required; and what public inquiry
demanded. For this they are assailed by
Aleorn the usurping Governor, and Head
|of the Board of Trustees, as dealing inI
the "stufF of political tricksters. They
are told that they have not the "brains.
and vim which fit men for the exalted
trusts reposed in them by the Republican,
party Republican party, again mark
|you)-they are tainted with their decla-
ration of purpose to resign on the con-
|dition named and admonished that thew
are perfectly welcome" to do so sat any
time they choose"-they are accused of
acting under the fear of "such men" as
Judge Hudson, who is patron of the
University, and desired to know if his
son would be introduced into a school
with colored students before returning
him to it, and are defantly told that
the Republican (MongreD party and the
university (shame that the two names
'should thus be associatedD defy the ut |
''most malignity of all such"-they are
branded as an "obsequious Faculty
they are reproved for not making the
negro school, the Shaw University, play
IA part in their publication, and their
motives are assailed for not stepping aside
from the legitimate end which they had
/ in view to pay tribute at that shrine.
And finally they are advised that the
'eminent man" who is pulled with the
brief authority which he didn't get hon
|estly from the people of the State, intends
to change the entire system on which the
University is managed as soon as the
Mongrel Legislature assemblies.
Much of this sort of "stuf" is served
! up in the blind fury and defeated hopes
4 of its author, showing clearly that THE
CLARIcN did not err in attributing the
removal of Messrs. Brown, Yerger, Wal
sthalI, Young, and others to political
motive. Else why all this rage because
chancellor Waddel and his colleagues
have said that the University shall not be
converted into practical propaganda of
Hamalgamation under their control? Why
this abuse of Judge Hudson because,
Erefecting a widespread concern among
Y the patrons of the institution, he furnished
the occasion for this publication Why
is it just now discovered since the appear
ance of the statement of the Faculty, that
they have not the ''brains and vim which
fit men for the exalted trust reposed in
them by this Republican administration p
Does the Republican Board" speaking
through their organ really hold that the
declaration of the Faculty that they will
4 mot become parties to the introduction OF
the Radical abomination of Mongrelism
lin the institution, tarnish the lustre OF
their fame as men of capacity and learn
4 ling in their high calling? The facts
speak for themselves. The motives which
Mprompted a change in the Board were
purely political; and the Faculty were
retained with the understanding on thu
part Of the schemers that they were to put
their hands on their mouths and give
to the political denominations of their pat
rons the benefit of their silence, if not OF
their open and public approval,
in conformity to the examples of mere
A placemen who are subsisting on the re
wards of their treachery. And the Fac
ulty thus bought up were to be used tc
draw the youths of the State into the
institution that they might be indoctrina
ted in the heresies of Rad1calism. The
Ncunning schemers well knew that to expel
both the Board and the Faculty from
the University for political ofenses would
have left it without students, and with.
out them Radical institution would be
harmless. The plot is revealed, and its
authors in their malice and disappointment
have unmarked themselves.
The Washington Chronicle, the AID
ministration mouth-piece, never grows
weary of declaiming against the policy Of
universal amnesty" 1t reproaches the
Schurz-Brown movement in Missouri,
for which its leaders have been read out
of the Republican party by Grant him
self, and bewails that by similar stroke
-'every resident is permitted to register
and vote in Tennessee, and that in con-
sequence the Radical plunderers have
