.Our streets are awful dusty now,
and a good shower of rain would be of
ring out the gardens and crops,

have every opportunity to get "sand in
One Male School or College.
It is with deep- regret that we notice in
our community a spirit of irreconcilable
dissatisfaction with the sectarian character
of the College which is in progress of
establishment in our midst. There is a
strong feeling pf opposition to its being
. controlled by any denomination, religious
or secular. This feeling is not, by any
means, arrayed against the particular de-
nomination which has the control of it,
but against all denominational and secta-
rian influence of any kind, whatsoever. It
is simply a desire to see one good male
school or College established in Columbus
for the people, the whole people, and
nothing but tie people, so that all can
unite in building np the school and have
an equal voice Th its management, and
control, and sustaiament.
To any one who is acquainted with the
character of our people, it will appear at
a glanfee that it is utterly impossible for
any denomination or order to accomplish
success in the establishment of a first-class
school here. There is no one class $f
people that-has the mearfiT and1 itóity to
do it of itself, and while the Itooo! is
sectarian in its character, the aid of others
cannot be obtained. Under such cir-
cumstances it will inevitably go down
and be a melancholy failure.
Some of our must substantial citizens
have not contributed a cent to " Colorado
College." Why ? Because it was under
the control of a particular religious denom-
ination.
Prejudices will and -do exist always in
such cases, and su.ch prejudices, too, that
they cannot be |r£dicated, but will only
grow stronger aud take deeper i oot. Now,
it is absolutely necessary that our citizens
should all be united in order to build «p a
good school in our midst; because it will
require their united strength, and any one
class of our citizens is too weak to accom-
plish it of itself. Then, there must be
upion; there must be harmony ; there
must be eoncert of action. How are these
to be brought about? How can there be
union—a union of all classes ? It is the
easiest matter in the world, if every man
will do his duty, and remember every man
is expected to do his duty in this free
country. You must at once do away with
the sectarian character of the school and
place it upon a free and independent basis,
bat every citizen wHl be placed upon
an equality with regard to it and have an
equal interest in it with all the rest.
Now, our "College ehtffler gifos llie
Lutheran Church the right to have a
nations flourish, and wo like tb^ee- them
doing all they can in cliffjsing a spirit of
moral purity and love in society. " But the
establishment of a good institution of
learning in our midst, requires a combi-
nation of all our strength, and W% know
from the state of the minds of tlfé com-
munity, that such a combination is.utterly
impracticable in the present stftirof the
case, Therefore, we must adopt a union
platform upon which all can stand. The
word union is a word we love. It falls on
the ear like a noto frorti an apgeps harp.
It is heaven-born and heaven tending. Il
leads just in front of the word progress. The
whole tenor of the Bible is union. There
are no parties of opposiug spirit# in heav.
en. There are no rancorus differences
there, but peace and harmony and union !
Sectarianism is a condition of erri&g, ig-
norant, unhappy man. If the world could
be united in one mind, and that^mind was
based on everlasting truth, it would con-

J&ffl QuLWOrthy and enterprising fel-

retired from his mercantile business in our
town, he having disposed of his interest
therein to Mr. David Tooke. The doctor
carries with him the best wishes of a host

and friendship, i their dewy freshness,

majority of the trustees, which amount's
to a control of tbe'schoy by that Church.
This is an objection that many good citi
zens in our community have and urge
against the institution, and it is well-
founded; for it is impossible that an insti
tution of learning sfiould be under the
control of a particular denomination and
not partake more or less of the genius and
peculiarities of that religious denomina-
tion. The teachers will be chosen frcin
among Lutherans, and their spirit and
manners and their peculiar modes of
thinking will be diffused through the
school, and it cannot be in the nature of
things any other than a Luthern Institution.
But the Lutheran Church constitutes only
a portion of this community. There are
Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Episco-
palians, Campbellites, and a large portion
of the community who are not allied to
any religious organization. The object of
thiS school was not the behefit of a par
tic !ar sect or class of individuals, but that
of 'the whole people; and it would be
altogether selfish, mean, dictatorial and
presumptuous for any denomination or
class of me to wish to hare the sovereign
control of it. It would be unrepublican,
arristocratic, oligarchal and contrary to
the free spirit of all our institution*.
Therefore, we say that the sectarian char-
acter of the school should be removed.
The charter should be so amended that
the trustees may be elected from among
the people without regard to denomina-
tional or sectarian control. Then every
citizen, no matter what might be his pecu-
liar notions, would stand upon an equal
footing with the rest—would have the
same interest in the school, and would
consequently do all in his power to promote
the cause of the institution. But if it is left
to the management of a religious sect,
who constitute only a small portion of the
community, on aecount of objections,
prejudices and a spirit of opposition exis-
ting, as must be known to every one, the
glorious cause will languish and die, or al
least drag oi^t a miserable and unprofitable
existence—a deplorable fate, which may
some kind provideace avert.
Now, we make these remarks, not out
of opposition to the Lutherans, or to any
other particular class of individuals. We

are represented to have been diive On
account of sin. All reform, all progress,
must commence and be .carri^S^ 4Üy 4be
reconcilement of clashing interéeís and
antagonistic opinions. When jthese shall
have been settled upon the basis of truth,
a perfect union will be fofmed and a bliss-
fill state of society established". The
words of the old song will then be found
to be true : —
" There is union in heaven and'there is union in
my soul"'.
But we wander from the theme. In order
to bring about a pleasant state of things
with respect to our school, it wHl be nec-
essary' for the people to hold a pnfrlic
meeting and consultation upon the subject.
We are not authorized at present to an-
nounce such a meeting, but hope to. be
able to do so in a short timé. In the
meantime let the subject be canvassed.
Conventions operate badly when
there is but one Party In the
Stale.
Conventions, which seem to be a nec-
essary evil, operate badly where there is
but one party in a State, from their nature
and practical workings. They are "usually
attended in their primaiy capacity by from
a dozen to fifty persons. Th«se pass reso-
lutions to suit their own peculiar notions,
without regard to what may be tha senti-
ments of many oilier citizens, and they
are heralded to tho world as the sentiments
of the majority. Delegates are appointed
to a State Convention, where there i8
found, upon examination, to he a variety
of opinions on public matters which con-
flict and produce " confusion worse conr
founded." One or two master-spirits of
the Convention; take it upon themselves to
suggest the course to be pursued. The
little fellows look up in wonderment at
these master-spiiTO (who have, in all
probability, some personal interest to
subserve) and are ready at a beck to do
whatsoever they are commanded. Ac-
cordingly resolutions are passed and
nominations made, all, of course, to suit
the bent and wish of these master-spirits,
who are colleagued to elevate themselves
or particular friends to office or to carry
out some favorite project of personal
aggrandizment. The proceedings are pub-
lished in the papers and heralded to the
world as the sentiments of the people of
the State, or, in other words, of the De-
Soui, and Bodv.—Tho,,![soul|i evef assents to

fact. So tho government of Texas has
been, in its>principal píSées, through the
hands of oligarchTsts, or, in other words,
cliques. These cliques, it must be admit-
ted, have paid some little regard' to the
opiuions of :he people, as this was neces
sary to their success. It was only during
the judicial election last year that the
people the w off tho yoke of the oligarchists
and "renounced their allegiance to them.
And it would noi have been the casehad not
their Jupiter tonans thundered into the ears
of the party a new issue which confounded-
and divided them, and a few bold cham-
pions of truth and tight, seeing their diffi-
culty, Tusbed to the rescue and pointed out
the way to honor and to glory. Besides,
their standard-bearer on that occasion
completely let down in the race—bogged
and stuck in the slough and marshiness of
his own reputation. But the Jupiter
Tonans has not ceased to thunder obedience
and loyalty to the party into the ears of
the people, and it seems the oligarchis's
will have it their own way again, there
being no party to oppose them, although
they have tried hard to resurrect the
defunct Know-nothings, that they might
have something to make a show of fight
against. •
Thus it is that where there is really but
one party in a State, a few individuals get
possession of the reigns of Government
and control all of its affairs, conferring and
holding offiee as their pleasure may dic-
tate. For our part, we heartily despise
such a state of affairs. But there is a
principle that when things come to the
worst, they mend, and this is so of ottr
republican form of Government. When
the reign of the oligarchists shall come to its
worst, things will mend—a reaction will
take place and act with such a rebounding
force as to sweep with a besom of destruc-
tion the rotten systems that prevail

Miscellaneous !Vew .
In Great Britain active warlike prepara-
tions have commenced.
Prussia, it appears, declines entering
into the conflict, which, it appears,* has
commenced, by an army of 120,000 Áus-
trians having actually crossed the river
Ticirto, and entered Sardinian territory.
The French troops were entering Sardinia
by thousands, and were pushing eagerly
and rapidly forward to the support oftpe
Sardinian army. .
Tuscany had joined Sardinia and France,
and Denmark, it is announced, has con-
cluded añ' offensive and defensive alcance
with France.
The Paris Conslitulionel and the London
Daily Newt deny the authenticity of the
report of an alliance having been concluded
between France aud Russia; but the Lon-
don Times, on the contrary, publishes the
provisions of a treaty. That paper draws
the most threatening consequences from it,
and regards this alliance as a menace to
England, Austria, Prussia and Germany,
inasmuch as Russia guarantees to France
the service of her fleets in the Med i terra
nean and tho Baltic, in addition to the
obligating of herself to place an army of
observation on the Austrian frontier.
St. John's, May 9.-^Actual War is con
sidered to be inevitable in a few days. No
actual conflict has taken place*; but the
Austriaus and the French have both en-
tered the Sardinian territories j and the
very fact of the Austrians crossing
Ticino with so* large an army, is loo!
upon as tantamount to the opening of th
campaign on'their part.
Tuscany it is certain, has joined Franc
—the Grand Duke has fled for safety.
1 The announcement of thé q|Kanc<
twoen France and Russia astounded t
British Government; and had a
effect on the public funds.- Hj -
France has not yet accepted the final
and latest proffer of the British Mediation.
The Emperor Napoleon has taken it uuder
advisement. *
The Iving^of Sardinia lias gone to join
his main army at Alexandria.-
In Francs the preparationrcoatinue on
the grandest and most active scale.
In Great Britain warlike preparations
are going On rapidly.
The Austrian official journal, published
at Vienna, contains the Imperial manifesto,
explaining the' reasons of the necessity of
a war between Austria and Sardinia.
This document is looked upon as tanta-
mount to a declaration of war.
At a public meeting in England, Lord
John Russell ex-pressed the opinion that the
only course Great Britain could or should
adopt would be to remain'neutral.
The latest advices from Paris, received at
London, state positively that the Austrians
had crossed the Ticino in force, and hostil-
ities had actually commenced.
Consols experienced a heavy and rapid
decline on the receipt of this intelligence,
and closed at 69.
At Manchester goods had deeliaed, and
business was suspended.
The decline in the cotton market at
Liverpool for the week ending Saturday,
the 30th, was ¿ to fd.
Further by the Adelaide.
A French loan of five hundred millions
of francs has been announced.
Parliament was dissolved on the 23d of
April, and the new Parliament summoned
for the 31st March. The elections were to
commence immediately.
The British ehannel fleet had sailed un-
der sealed orders. It was supposed that
its destination was the Adriatic.
Violent fluctuations are reported to have
tnken place in the English and the conti-
nental stock exchanges. Business was
generally completely suspended, waiting
for the course of events, as yet in-so uncer-
tain a position that the most experienced
found it difficult what plan of commercial
action to pursue.
The treaty, for an offensive and defensive
alliance between France and Russia, was
signed on the 2 2d of April.
