ihiwri the venerable colleges which for
years have done patriotic and noble ^
work, without asking and without receiving
any lirlp Iron the State government.
Some of the advocates of the I'niver- 1
sity scheme speak fht eringly of the late , "
founcil of col ece presidents ?t (.Jrcen- j"
rille, and ask by what, warrant such a \ t;
Convention whs held. hv the same nil- [ t
thority by which chambers of commerce v
meet to regulate the afl'aira of trade ; by *
irbicli bankers meet, Couiult and pro
test against monetary legislation ; by
which mechanics unite against illegal
tariffs, and men of every business pursuit
join in solemn opposition to threatened
injustice and impending danger.
The council at Greenville issued a formal
and solemn protest against the pres
ent establishment of the University, and
for reasons which must commend themselves
to all thoughtful men. The protest
of these college, presidents mcau9 a j
ijreat deal. It is not their own private !
matter. They sneak not only for them clvcs
but tor their patrons?theG'hrixtian
sentiment of the commonwealth.
Lao the legislature safely ignore tindemand
of these inert, standing in their
places and each in his turn speaking out
for his church? Shall the Christian
people of the State be forced to pay
axes for the support of an institution
[vho*c projectors design shall be removed
train all religious restraints and
ee conducted upon " liberal principles"?in
other words, shall the Church
ondcr tribute to the philosophy of the
schools as intended to be taught in this
Lniveraity humbug? It is the old
juration, after all, of''the Bible in the
I'uhlic School!" We point with jealous
ptilc to the different deuouiinaional
colleges in the State?the real
lope of the country and the stauuehesi
juiwark of onr civil and religious libtrlies.
These sohools are kept up with>ut
any public appropriations, they have
)jcn handsomely endowed by private
lenctieenec, their course of study is of
he very highest graue, they furnish
jvcry advantage to the patient and pro;ros*ivc
pupil, and effectually do away
vith the necessity of a University. In tlu*
lame of these colleges. i;i recognition o!
heir past patriotic services, and in bolalf
of an already grievously poor peo)Ie,
we tnost solemnly protest against
lie passage of an act authorizing the
stablishtuent of a Statu University.?
