Cabinet resigned, except Daniel Webster,
Secretary of State. The Wings throughout
the country were loud in their denuncations
of Webster, declaring he was also traitor.
They black.balled him in Wing organizations
and read him out o. the party. It was then
he put his famous interrOgatory-Wh will
Il go? He remained IN Tyler's Cabinet, and
doubtless modified the mal-admnistration of
the President.
Bitter likewise were the denunciations of
Republicans against Governor Seward for
remaining in Andrew Johnson's Cabinet after
the assassination of President LiDcoln in
1865. But he withstood the storm of indig-
nation, and history has justified the wisdom
of his course. He remained with johnson
during the whole of his devious career, and
while he could not wholly control that
cratic individual, he in many instances eXer-
sised a restraining influence over him and
prevented much mischief which would have
otherwise ensued.
We have many times asked the question
of oar leaders which Webster put to the
Wings: If we leave the Republican party
where will we go? Let us remain with those
who profess to be our friends, however hOl-
low the professions of some may be we be-
lieve the ma jority are sound. Let us endea-
vOr to purify the party rather thun break it
down. Our enfranchisement will surely
come, and it can hardly come through the
prevalence of Republican principles. We
can afford to wait.

UNIVERSITY.

This University, occupying the site of the
institution formerly known as Oakland College,
is situated in Claiborne County, Miss, four and
one half miles northeast from Rodney, on the
Mississippi river.
The location. far removed from the con.
terminating influences of city life, is high and
heallhfu; and the surroundings are agreeable
and attractive in an eminent degree.
Its commodious buildings. all erected and
furnished for academic purposes, are situated
IN beautiful oak grove, gently undulating and
clothed in perennial dress Of vendure pleasing
to the eye, and conducive to health and
quietude.
No discrimination is recognised by the in
stitution on account of color, caste, or other
class distinctions.
The ample endowment of the University en-
ables it to offer its facilities at very low rate
Board, washing, bed room furniture, fuel and
lights, are furnished to each student at the rate
of ten dollars per month, payable in advance;
and, for tuition, which is free to students from
Mississippi. A matriculation fee of fifteen dol
lars is required from students coming from
other States.
A competent corps Of teachers is employed to
give thorough instruction in all the branches
usually embraced in the curriculum of Ameri-
can colleges.

Wait - Little Longer.

The following is from the San Fran cisco
Elerotor, edited and published by colored
men. It has quite different ring from
the crazy mutterings Of Geo. T. Downing :
We notice a dissatisfaction among our
leading men against the Republican party
a disposition to abandon that organization
and seek new political alliances, or to form
a new party, having for its fundamental
principle "equal civil and political rights to
all citizens, irrespective of race, color, or
previous condition of servitude."
A very good basis on which to form po-
ltical organization but does not the Repub-
lican party stand on platform in which the
same principle is embodied? Have they not
emblazoned on their banner Equality Be-
fore the Law" And where else than within
the Republican party can we except the same
acknowledgment of our rights ? What other
party confesses the same political faith or
embraces in its ritual the same political
creed?
The reason given for this proposed aban-
donment of the Republican party is the fail
ure to pass the civil rights bill at the last
session Of Congress; but is this sufficient
cause? Should the entire party be held
responsible for the recreancy Of a few of its
members? We are willing to admit they
should have passed the bill at the last SEES.
sion; they could have done it but cannot
we afford to wait? We waited twelve score
of years amid obloquy, suffering and perse-
cutions before our deliverance came and
then when it did come it was by no act of
our own. It came as 'twere by the direct
interposition of Divine power-it came with
the thunders of cannon and the storm of
battle. enid war and want and peril,
things that would thrill the hearers blood to
tell Of" came to US the Angel of Freedom"
We were but the passive instruments in the
hands of Him who doeth all things we'll, and
the Republican party were the executors of
His will and purpose.
We object to abandoning the Republican
party, for what we consider good and suffi-
Gent reasons. lst. We object to a party of
one idea. While the attainment of civil
rights is of vital importance to us, there are
other principles which we should advocate
in connection Herewith. I'd. We are not
sufficiently strong in numerical force to form
an independent party. We might deprive
the Republican party Of our eight or nine
hundred thousand votes, as the mslcontents
threaten, but that would be the means of
throwing the next Presidential election in
the hands of the Democrats from whom we
can expect no favor Sd. If we abandon the
Republican. party, and do not form a new
political organization, with what party will
we ally ourselves? When John Tyler apos-
tatized from the Wing party in lS4l after
the death Of General Harrison, his entire

LIVE PAPER

1t should be read by all. 1t gives no I'M
certain sound. 1t seeks to advance true Re
publicanism and sustains the administration
of u. S. Grant.
1t is the only paper in Tennessee that ad-
yocates..the complete and impartial extension
Of Civil Rights to the colored citizens by the
enactment of national law, and their i'm
partial education and development; and will
endeavor to promote and improve the inter-
ests of the industrial classes of the colored
men of the South by forming Cooperative
Associations, to effectively organize and car
ry out schemes of interest and profit to each
other individually and collectively.
1t will sustain the living issues of humanity
and an improved and higher civilization In
refinement, in opposition to the expressions
of caste, spite and malignant hate of race,
which seeks to degrade and ignore the pros
poets, privileges, and rights of the coiored
citizens Of the United States; and demand
IN unmistakable terms the rights of the
colOred citizens which they are entitled to in
the offices, honOrs and emoluments of the U.
S. government, without prescription by their
fellow white Republicans, or their utter neg
lect as has been in the past.

4" he Editor oftse Eeto National Era:
The late civil war had disastrous effect
upon the social and political condition of the
southern States. 1t was in this section OF
The country that the bloodiest battles of the
Republic were fought, and so direful were
the effects of that contest that the South is
just barely creeping into its former position
In the bodypolitic. But the greatest result
OF the war was the emancipation Of the
Southern slaves and the bestowal upon them
OF the elective franchise. Four millions Of
people thus suddenly thrown into the respon-
slble position Of citizens Of the United States,
without money, without property of scarcely
any description. and without the sympathy
Of their former masters, caused great feeling
IN their behalf at the North.

STORER COLLEGE.
Uilh q Formal DenarfnleMf.

rs located at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.
/ 1t was first opened in October, 1867, and has
ever since been crowded with young men and
women eager for an education. 1t originated in
a proposal Of John S.orer, of Maine, Congre
gational brother; to give $4,000 to found q
Normal College at the South, on condition that
others contributed like sum to the same pur.
pose, and no distinction on account of race or
color. A few Christian men in Western New
York collected the required amount, with a
little aid from friends in New England, and the
School became a fact
Through the influence of the late Senator
Fessenden, of Maine, Senator (now Vice Presi.
dent) Wilson, of Massachusetts,, General Gar
field, of Ohio, and others, Congress donated the
| four large brick dwelling houses, and the land
on which they stand, situated on the heights
above the ferry, to the Trustees Of the College.
The buildings had been ridded by shot and
shell but, by the aid of contributions from the
Freedman's Bureau and from generous friends
at the North, they were repaired, and another
large building erected. Into these buildings
about two hundred young people are crowded
every term, and trained for teaching and other
positions of usefulness.
Two pressing necessities now confront those
having this work in hand-a Girls Boarding
Hall, and an Endowment The former is an
immediate necessity it is impossible to meet
the wants of the large number of girls who seek
to qualify themselves for teaching, without it.
There is no other School above Primary in
grade in all West Virginia, Western Maryland,
and Southern Pennsy lvania, which admits Col
ored youth, and the number who flock to this
School far exceeds the accommodations pro-
vidsd. 1t is exceedingly hard to turn them
away, ana force them to remain in ignorance,
when they are so eager to learn.
Fifty thousand pa1lars are Needed
to erect and furnish suitable Girls Hall. The
foundations have been laid, in faith. and the
walls will 60 up as fast as the Lords people
furnish the funds, and no faster. 1t is work
of great n, 'nent, and very promising We ap.
