Leaving the English emigration ques-
ton out of the Posts article let us con-
slider one of its questions as if it had
been based upon a "real fact" The
Post says:-"- the reason for
the persistent emigration must be found
elsewhere and in other causes. Where
is it, and what is it?' Taking this as
an allusion to emigration in general,
we are prepared to answer the ques-
tion. The reason for the persistent emf
grafton to this country has been two
fold. l. Because of its free govern
ment, and liberality to foreigners as ill.,
co%rporated into its laws by the demo-
cratic party in the fight against Know
Nothingism; and, 2, because of its
cheap lands.

Some Corrections.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-I see that the
Intelligencer and Register have both fallen
into an error, as it regards the day on which
Col. Mulligan surrendered to Gen. Price at
this place in Sept. 1861. You both say that
the anniversary Of the event is the 2lst of
September, when it should be the Goth. Gen.
Price surrounded MuIligan on the morning
Of the 18th, and late in the evening of the 10th
Col. Mulligan surrendered the fort-so says
Pollard, Bevier and jeff Davis in their histo-
ries of the battle of Lexington.
w, A. GORDON.
We think the doctor has fallen into error as
to the Intelligencer. We only announced that
the G.. A. r. selected that day to celebrate
the anniversary. He is correct as to Ills dates.

Higginsville Post:-"Free traders
and their newspaper organs have I'M
ceasingly for the past fifty years assert
ed that free trade is the only panacea
for hard times, poverty and all other ills
to which the body polite and economic
is heir" This appears to us to be the
very insanity of prejudiced assertion.
We cannot conceive upon what our
contemporary bases it; and we chal-
lenge him to produce such a statement
from any respectable opponent of a high
protective tariff. Bread and meat are
wholesome foods, and they are good to
have, but they are not therefore pana-
ceas against all ills that flesh is heir to.
Great questions should not be Obscured
by such loose statements. There are
many ills which afflict the body polite
which have as much to do with free
trade or protection as a boot jack has
to do with winding up q watch.

H~igginsvillc Positive will also
ask you a question, friend lmtelligencer.
Why do SC many poor people persist
in leaving England and settling in the
United States, Notwithstanding the
warnings of the English press!" Come,
friend Post, as you are the defender of
a Yankee notion, we will take the lib
erty of answering You after the Yankee
manner of asking you a question OF
two:-Why do six, eight or ten times
as many ''poor people" persist in leav-
ing Germany and settling in the United
States as leave England for the same
purpose3 More, by whom is it assert
ed that the English press is warning
English people not to come to the Uni
ted States? And still more, where ar
the statistics to prove that there ar,
"many" emigrants from England II
the United States, poor or rich? Unit
the Post can settle that one of its pos
tulates is based upon fact its col
umn of conclusions from them mus
amount to very little.

Eyolntion.

The following is taken from the pro-
ceedings Of the $. g. Synod as given by
the Chester Rep 6rtert F2 t re-
t'The debate on the resolutions was.
closed athnlf- past 10 O'Clock 81 The qlles-
ton was then called aud tliegeco ine1i- es1rit
ttations of thecommittee wefe,voted on
separately. The first recommend dation
was as follows:
""Ihat the Synod disapprove the action
OF boord Of directors in requesting tho
resignation of Prof. James Woodrow, rs
not being justified by the action of tho
controlling Synods, nor by any statement
made by Professor Woodrow previous
to their action"
"On this the vote was taken and it re-
suited-yeas 80, nays 90.
"The second proposition was then put
as follows:
""That the Synod disapprove the re-
moval of DIR. Woodrow from his profess
sorslip as unconstitutional" %, ; ...
'Ihe vote resnlted-yeas 70, nays 62. !"
1t IS easy to see from the above that
the Synod made no deliverance whatever
on the hypothesis of evolution. The
resolutions, as adopted, simply disap-
prove of the action of the board of di
rectors iii regard to DR.. Woodrow. No
one should think that those who supper
ted the above resolutions are evolution
ists--they were simply opposed to revo-
luton. The hypothesis Of evolution has
never been before any court Of tho Pres
byterian Church in such manner that
vote on it, would characteaize the vot-
ors rs evolutionists, or not evolutionists;
and being purely scientific question
which docs not contradict the Bible, it
cannot properly be brought before any
church court for it's deliverance thereon.
So the Chester Synod has in no wise
amerded nny. action of the Greenvillo
Synod, but annullcd the action of the
Seminary directors. The Synod ofSouth
Georgia and Florida have very properly
done the same thing.
