The Ashman Institute••-Its Estimation by
OXFORD, Chester CO., Pa., June 18.
Mu. EDITOR:—The undersigned, hav
ing returned from a pleasant and profit
able tour through Western Pennsylvania,
and North Western Virginia, in behalf of the
Ashmun Institute, it is proper to make a
public acknowledgment of the favor every
where accorded to that enterprise; and of
the personal kindness with which, for his
work's sake, he was in every instance re
ceived. During the time spent in that re
gion, be had the opportunity of addressing
many churches, conversing with many in
dividuals, and of addressing one Presby
tery, that of Washington, which held an
adjourned meeting at Wheeling, on Tues
day, the 9th inst. The result of these con
ferences with God's people upon this sub
ject is, that they most cordially approve the
enterprise, and have begun to. support it.
The ground of their approbation is that
which commends it to the favor of our
whole Church, and to all Christian people,
North, South, East, and West. its aim is to
provide for the African race an educated
ministry of their own people.
It is matter of profound gratitude, that
while other ecclesiastical bodies have been
rent or distracted by agitations respecting the
condition of the colored people at the South,
our own beloved Zion, although embracing
within her communion men of every politi
cal opinion, has hitherto, by God's favor,
maintained her unity and dignity, while she
has aimed to discharge her duty to the Afri
can race, whether bond br free, in minister
ing to them the Gospel, which her glorious
Head has commanded to be preached "to
every creature." This has been the uniform
praotice of the Church from the beginning;
and in accordance with , the principle in
volved in it, our General Assembly at Nash
ville adopted resolutions commending the
Ashmun Institute to the confidence and
liberality of the ohnrches,,as "an important
work, aiming at the highest good of the
African race, wherever found."
Subsequently, the subject was, pre
sented to nearly all our Presbyteries ; and so,
far as heard from, they have returned almost ,
the same response, from every quarter of the
Church—approving the enterprise, express
ing confidence in its management, and, re
commending it to the liberality of their
churches. And, so far as ascertained, there
is but one opinion entertained respecting it,
by churches and individuals. '
As cheering evidence of the general favor
with which the Institution is regarded, in
different sections of the Church, the two
following letters are selected from many
others, recently received : ,
Ray. J. P. CARTER—Dear , Brother: We took
up a collection in our church on the first Sabbath
In the month, amounting to ten dollars. And the
Session have concluded to divide it equally be
tween "The Ashmun Institute" and " The Min
isterial Fund." I send you enclosed five dollars,
although a very 868,11 sum to send so far. Our
congregation has been pretty severely taxed to
complete our house of worship; but we wish, if
nothing more, to express our approbation of your
enterprise, and contribute our mite of encourage
ment. Please let.me hear from your enterprise.
The Lord prosper you in'every good word and
work. Yours in Christian Love,
REV. J. P. CARTER, President Aslrinun _lnstitute
—Dear Sir: I enclose you ten 'dollars in behalf
of your great and noble undertaking. I have
been fully persuaded, for many years, that the
great duty in behalf of the colored race in this
country, and the beet manner of ensuring suc
cessfully and happily their ultimate emancipa
tion, is the raising up an intelligent colored min
istry among them. Experience in the slave
States abundantly shows that the blacks, both
free and slaves, will attend in flocks upon the
ministrations of one of their own color, when
they will not upon those of a - white minister.
This is natural enough.
They are, in fact, emphatically a religious peo
ple. Their attendance upon Divine worship when
performed by one of their own color, is numer
ous, regular, and continuous, and every way re.
markable, and makes it a matter of the deepest
grief, that there are not among them,.men better
qualified to instruct them. You will perform the
greatest work, in my estimation, that cambeper
formed for this race, and for our common' coun
try, by supplying this want.. I hope your exam
,ple will be followed in the slave States, An ef
'fort here similar to yours, is what we want.
While I regard your institution as of great value,
and worthy of all appreciation and patronage, I
yet consider the object in view can tie adequately
accomplished only by institutions on the slave
soil.
I observe another thing in your plan worthy of
all commendation: that you' are looking to ,the
slave States for aid and pupils; that you place
yourselves in the position of friend' of master and
servant. Please acknowledge receipt. ' I would
be glad to 'know what the present state of•your
school is, and what is your prospect for pupils
and money. I would be glad to get your, reports
when made. Very truly, yours,
These are pleasing indications of the esti
mation in which the Institute is held; by
those competent to judge of its value; and
warrant the belief that its future, by God's
favor, will be '.a career of eminent good, both
to the white and colored races. These
friends, and all who have aided us, _will
please accept our sincere thanks for their
good deeds, and words of kindness.
The Presbyteries of Blairsville, Ohio, and
several others, have kindly resolved to make
contributions to the Institute, on the first
Sabbath of July, or some time during that
month. The same is respectfully suggested
to all disposed to aid the enterprise, now in
its time of peculiar need. • -
Very respectfully,
JOHN P. CARTER,
President Ashmun Institute.

Pleasant Hill Church.
COLIJSIBIA CITY, IND.,
June 17, 1857.
REV. DAVID M'KINNEY :—Dear Bro.:
—I have just returned from holding a
Sacrament in Pleasant Hill church; and the
commendable zeal manifested by the little
company of these faithful saints, situated in
the woods, deserves a notice in your paper.
They have just completed a neat house of
worship, forty by thirty-six feet. Their
efforts have been untiring and noble. All
of them live in cabins, and have a few acres
cleared, about enough to support their fami
lies; and, owing to the heavy forests they
have to remove, they make but slow pro
gress •in accumulating the wealth of this
world. They have had but little preaching
till within a few months past. Some of the
Imembers, in view of the discouraging aspect
of things, did not see proper to aid much in
the erection of a sanctuary for God, as they
supposed they never would likely secure the
regular ministrations- of any. one. Others,
acting from a principle of genuine faith,
I went forward doing their part, and leaving
the rest with God. They toiled amid the
snows of Winter, to get their saw logs to the
s mill. They wisely managed the one bun
dred dollars they got from--the Church Ex
! tension Committee, for their cash outlay;
and with the plane, the• saw, and the axe,
they placed :the timbers, in their place.
Some .:looked on, and. said the building
would ., never be completed. This only ex
, cited to - more diligence. The women, also,
with amobleness of affection becoming Gos-.
pel Women, 'erected and finished the pulpit,
F and curtained the windows, in a manner that
would do honor to many of our churches
which-are far in advancerof them in point
,
of wealth and notoriety. When I entered
1 the houie, the snow-white Walls, the pulpit
neat:lT : adorned with a , large gilt Bible and
Iltnnz.bonk t aTtd when ,reme.mbeo . 4 „tile
sacrifice' made on their part, I thought of
I the covenant promise of our. God, " Them
ithat honor me, I Will. honor;" and truly
that promise was verified. Often during
I, the four days of our meeting, could you
I have seen the hungry, children with ea
gerness receiving the good Void of - life;
while not unfrequently - the tear would
roll down the cheek both of old and
[young. Five were added on examine
! Lion, and one by letter. When one aged
! man was telling me of the toils he had under;
gone in building this house—of letting his
t farm well nigh lay out , rather than . let the
work of the Lord -cease—l reminded him
'that he would meet his reward. Said he,
" I am already well paid for all my toil."
Dear brother, what are we to think of 'the
ministry in our own beloved Zion, when
they are, many of them, pushing West 'for
a healthful and wealthy country, and these
points, which are by no means scarce in this
region, are passed by? These churches can
promise no large support, but they will give
a competency, without fail, to a faithful
' man. And a rich spiritual harvest is the
reward to such a man. The health of our
region of country had been bad, in earlier
times, but is now much better than former
ly, and improving every year, as the country
becomes opened. If even the' health were
!as bad as it is represented to be, (which is
misrepresentation,) 'ought this to 'enter
into our calculations, as ministers of Christ.
• We do not withhold the missionaries of the
Cross from India or Africa, notwithstanding
the latter has been called the white man's
grave. Why not carry out the same Prin
ciple in reference to parts of our own land?
When lost men need the pospel, the minis
ter is not to stop and ask, Do they live in a
healthy or unhealthy, or a poor country Y
"Go ye into all the world, and preach
the Gospel to every creature." This is the
tenure under which we hold our office.
Let us abide by it strictly. Yet, with' all
that, I can say, ,I suppose our vacancies will
still continue. And the harvest must go
ingathered.
After a residence of, upward of five years
in Northern Indiana, I can safely say, it has
been-the quest, delightful- period of my life.
l'And brethren who have labored here for
merly are attached to the place; and all
who know it will give testimony that it bids
fair, by proper cultivation, to become a very
fruitful field. Yours, in Christ, S.

REV. DR. MAKINNEY :—Dear Sir :--
Permit me, through the columns of the

oualearted people of my charge—the con
gregations of Glade Run and_Concord, Pres

donation of, one hundred dollars, in money;
by the hands of Messrs. William J. Cal

these-favors- were , bestowed, very greatly en
hance their value. May the Lord grant unto
the liberal donors the riches of his grace,
with all temporal good things necessary to
their apiritrial prosperity , while on the earth,

Interesting Dedication.
On. Sabbath, May 17, was dedicated to'
the service of 3 Almighty. God, the Presbyte
rian church of Rock Run, 111., in the Pres
bytery of Rock River. The day was
pleasant; the congregation large and atten
tive. The dedication sermon' was preached
by the Rev. A. a Lackey, of the Second
Presbyterian church, Freeport, ill., from the
x : 39, "And we will not
forsake , the house of our God." The points
of the -discourse were, I. That places of
public worship maybe called God's house ;
as, Ist. He is the proprietor and owner of
theth. And, 2d. Here he 'manifests his,
glory, and bestows his dhief blessings. IL
The matter of such a resolution as this of
the pious Israelites. Ist. Constant and
regular attendance at the house of God.
2d. A love for, and careful attention to the
Word preached. 3d. A lively interest in
the Church's highest welfare.
The Scriptures were read by the Rev. J.
S. Dickey, the pastor of the church. The
prayer of dedication was offered by the Rev..
Jacob Coon, of Morrison, 111. At the close
of the'service, a contribution was taken up,
to the amount of one hundred and fifty dol
hire, which entirely relieves the church of
debt.
`After the dedication, and an interval of
thirty minutes, the Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper was administered, and to the com
fort and strengthening of many present.
Twelve new members united with the
church at this time. It was refreshing to
be, present at this communion. It was an
old-fashioned, oountry Sabbath. There was
no sitting in time of prayer, no choir 'to
worship for the congregation; but in all the
exercises of the.day tke whole - congregation
entered, heaitily; and it appeared that all
realized that it . was good to be there.
This, congregation of faithful people hive
struggled,, u the psA, under Auny difficul
ties;'but haVe now a substantial and coin
modious house of worship, an efficient and
laborious .pastor, and an energetic Session ;
and their prospects for the future are en
couraging and comforting. There is no
better home in all the West for Presbyte
rian families, than the bounds of this
church. May their arms steadily be strength
ened, and the work of the Lord prosper in
their hands. HAmmoNn.

a long message, advocating their tights, and .giv

they enacted several laws, providing l for a State
organization, and manifested a determination to
proceed in their own way.
,
Previously to the meeting on the Legislature at
His
Topeka, Governor Walker visited the place.
visit was of peculiar interest. We giv,e, from the
Statesman of that place, of the
. 9th inst., an ac
count of the proceedings
In compliance with the invitation from the:citi
zens Of Topeka, Gov., Walker, accompanied by
Secretary Stanton and Mr. E. Q. Perrin, visited
our town on Saturday last, for the purpose of forml
ing an acquaintance with our people--of ascertain
ing their views and wishes---of interchanging sen
timents, and of promoting feelings of mutual con
fidence and good will. At four o'clock, a meeting
of our citizens was Convened 'at the Public Hall,
in order to hear an expression of the Governor's
views in regard to tie existing difficulties; and his
plan of adjustment; and to °Wm...freely with him
on the various political topics now, engrossing the
attention of the people of the whole. Territory.
Col. Holiday presided, and ibtroduced the Gov
ernor, who proceeded to speak at great length up
on the condition 'of the Territory. We can only
make room for the most striking portions •of this ;
remarkable effort.
My. doctrine is this, that in the future, when the
Constitution shall be:submitted to the vote of the
citizens of Kansas, that . it shall be submitted to
the vote of the whole people. I do not mean those
who are now registered under the Territorial law.
I do not mean those who were residing here ,on
the 16th of March, but I mean the.whole, people
of Kanints, not only those who are here now,,but
those who will be here'next Vail as actual resi
dents—that they—the people 'over' whom these
institutions are to operate—thit they. by a- ma
jority of their- votes, shall decide for themselves
what shall be the Constitution, and what shall
l
be their social institutions.
Alluding to the 'Ropeka mode of settling the dif
ficulty, the Governor went on to say :
Then, 'gentlemen, what is the other mode which
is presented? You are about to have assembled
hero at Topeka, next week, what is called the .
State Legislature, for they tell you that they are
now about to convene a legislature 'for the State
of Kansas. Who elected that Legislature? "(A
voice, " The people.") The people ! Why the
whole vote given for your so-called Constitution,
as claimed by yourselves, was but 1,731; where.;
as there are now registered over 10,000 votes, as
residents here on the 15th Of March last; .excla
sive of the thousands omitted, or who have ar
rived here since that date. ~ T he people ! Do you
Mean to tell, me that 1,781 votes constitutes
the whole oupiber of votes in the Territory
f Kansas? ' (A voice, "That Was a year
and'e: half age.') 'But should' these 1,731 votes
a year and' a half ago impose a constitution
for all time,to come upon the present 'people
of Kansas ? • (A: voice—",,Not against their
will.") Should tie Coostittition be. submitted to
their will foradoptioit, or not? (A voioe—" Yes.")
:That, gentlemen, it the' great question, so' far as
they are concerned: But I understand feu claim
to be a State, now; and that your so-called Leg
islature, chosen by a email number of votes, ,pro-,
pose, next week, to enact laws to be enforced in.

.not one-tenth of the present people of Kansas,

against the laws and government of, the United

(A. voice, • " Where are those ten thousand voters
that'are not on the record . ?") Some inadvertent
ly. omitted, . many who would not register, and
thoniiands who have arrived since the 15th of
March last. As regards the register, boirever, I
say to you that it is of comparatively little con
sequence, if the Constitutiombe submitted to the
whole people.
I am only looking to the future. And I say, if
you desire war, (loud cries of " No, no,")' if you
desire conflict, ("No, no,") if you desire to'enter
into a rebellion, not against the Territorial , laws
only, but against the government of the United
States, (" No, no,") all you have to do is to set
up the State government against the govern ment

(A voice, ."Not nowid) Now, then, gentlemen, .I
return you my most sincere :thanks for ; the , kind.
and indulgent attention with; which you have. lin-,
tened 'to my remarks. (A' voice; "What 'is to
the taxes?") Long before I am called on for any
official action, the reign of law, of justice, and.of
the people, will be so fully established, that, as
good citizens, you will all cheerfully pay this
small pittance to support your own government
(A voice, " We will have a great deal more con
fidence in the vote of the 'people to`be given next
Fall, if you will tell us by what authority the
judges are to be appointed.") 'I will answer that
question, for I have no doubt it is fairly asked,
and in a fair spirit. (The voice, " It certainly
is.") I will' say then to ydu„ gentlemen, that if
they do not appoint a fair and impartial mode by
which the majority of the actual, bona-fide,'resi-•
dent settlers of Camas shall vote, through the
instrumentality of impartial judges, I will join
yiqici in all lawful opposition to their doidgs, and
the President and Congrais will reject 'their con

ture I have ; and I say to you, that unless a
full and fair opportunity is given to the people of
Kansas to decide for themselves what shall be
their form of government, including the great
sectional question which has so long divided you
—unless, I repeat, they grant you such an oppor
tunity, I have one power of which no man, or
set of men, can deprive me, and to which I shall
unhesitatingly resort; and that is, to join you in
lawful opposition to their aots. Cries of "Good,
good," anti loud applause, during which the
Governor withdrew.
This appears to be exceedingly fair on the part
of Governor Walker. His honest sincerity can
not be doubted, and there is little ;neon to doubt
but that he speaks the mind of the President,
and will be sustained. Still, however, the To
peka men, either from want of confidence in his
power, or from policy, or some other motive,
held their Legislative meeting, as above stated.
It is unhappy that the parties act so persever
ingly, merely as parties. It is said that if the Ter
ritorial Convention shall not submit the Constitu
tion to a popular vote, the President will not sub
mit it to Congress.' It is.aleo very. certain that
he will 'not submit to , Congiess any thing 'which

must be an e - xpression of the will• of the people;

of those who lived in the Territory at the time of
the late Registry, but of all who shall be bone fide

011ANVES IN ilifE BANKING 11011SES OE' PITTAB'Er.
—Owing to the restrictive provisions of an act of
the late Legislature, of Pennsylvania, prohibiting
the dealing in, Currency, 'two. of our, Pittsburgh
houses, thuiParmer's Deposit and the Pittsburgh
Trust Ciuniany, have entered into new arrange
ments. The Trust Company voted on Monday,
nnttnitnouslY, to surrender their charter, and to
enter into articles of partnership,., or association,
•with the same, amount of capital ($290,000) as
before r and nearly the same stoekholders. They.
thus,, in ,simple terms,, become indivdnally
and as there - are among - the 'one hundred to one
hundred and fifty stockholders many men of large
wealth—several who reach half a: million, proba
bly—the seOurity r te depositors and the public, is
thus largely inoreased. The President of the
Company, James Laughlin, BST, is the Trustee
of the A.ssOcia'tion, WhiCh will' 'retain the'fOrnier'
name—Pitlfihurgh Tritest ComPany.`. The'old Board
of Director's will continue to' serve until Not. ,
vember.election, andthe Bankwill go straight on,l
as before. The Directors. are—James Laughlin,
W: K. Nitnick, Isaac M. Penneek, Samuel Rea,
Francis G. Bailey,' Thomas Bell; Alex. Bradley,'
Thomas Wightreaw.Timee 'Anderson. •
!The' Partners' - Deposit Bank took the same, ;
course,somedays..since, and is going ahead as be
fore. It has a,capital, of $62,500, is also going on
Under the, plan of indiildnal liability, with many
very strong eapitilists smiting its stockholders,
rendering the security to depositers, - (to. ' in either
of the two institutions most ample; It has three
Trustees, instead of one: Both banks• retain the
fermer Cashiers, (Mr.:McGoffin the,;Farmers'
and Mr. gettllY in the trusteetripany) and Officers
generally.
Whither the stockholders shall be gainers or
losers by the change, the Pittsburgh.public have
now two institutions,.with the most ample inclivid
nal liability, and security: As, a depositor, we
could soundly sleep with our whole " pile" in
either concern, through the worst monetary" cri-:
sis " we have ever seen.
The Allegheny (City) Savings Fund. Company
hold alueeting to-day to take steps for the adop
tion of the same or ,a similar plan of association
as that of the two :banks above : named. They will
alio go on like the others with individual Habil!

A meeting of merchants . was held at Liverpool,
on 'Friday, for the purpose of assisting in the
