AGAINST THE REFUSAL TO ADMIT THE DI
RECTORS APPOINTED BY THE SYNOD OF
MISSOURI FOR THE. SEMINARY OF THE
NORTH-WEST.
HORIOON, WIS., Nov. 80th, 1857.
REV. DR. McKINNEY :—Dear Sir :—ln
your account in last week's paper, of the re
cent meeting of the Directors of the The
ological Seminary of the North-West, I
think you hardly do justice to the position
of the minority on the question of the ad
mission of Missouri. '
The whole argument, I think, is fairly
stated in our Protest, a copy of which I
send you. By publishing it in your paper,
you will place us in our true position be
fore the Church, on this vexed question,
put on record a correct history, of a trans
action which must seriously affect, the in
terests of our Church in this region, and
very much oblige some of your friends.
• . -H. M. ROBERTSON.
• PROTEST.
We, the undersigned, feel constrained respect
fully to enter our solemn Protest against the vote
by which the Board refused. to admit the Dele
gates of the Synod of Missouri to their seats, - for
the following reasons :
1. That Synod has the right to be represented
in this Board, because, it has ,complied with the
constiututional requirements, and two-thirds of
the governing Synods have consented-to its ad
mission. It is not denied that the Spied. has
adopted the constitution, and appointed Directors
in accordance with the constitution: Respecting
the salon of four of the Synods, there is no dis
pute.
The Synod of Cincinnati resolved, " That when
ever the Synods of Missouri,
Upper Missouri, and
Southern lola, shall apply for admission , into the
union . of Synods, they shall be admitted according
to the provisions of the constitution—Art. IL, Seo.
2." Andin reply to :the protest of the minority,-
the Synod further say: " The Synod have ex:.
pressed this readiness to receive the Synod of
Missouri under our constitutional provision."
This language, if it means• anything,. expresses
the consent of the Synod of Cincinnati to the ad
mission of the Synod of- Missouri; and since four
other Synods have given their consent, there can
be no question respecting its right to be represent
ed here. There is nothing in the constitution,
requiring a Synod to make application for admis
sion directly to the governing Synods, after they.
have once expressed their readiness to admit it;
for the expression of such. willingneds is giving
their consent, which is all the constitution requires.
It is too evident to require proof, that such con
sent may be given in anticipation of the applica
tion of a Synod, just as well as after application
has been made. We are fully persuaded, there.'
fore, that the interpretation put upon the consti
tution, by the Board, is forced and unsound.
This is further evident, because this construction
renders it 'impossible for any Synod to gain ad-:
&lesion under one or two years, unless the time
of its meeting precede the times of meeting of
the governing Synods. If it be desirable that a
Synod be admitted at all, it is desirable that it
be admitted without such tedious delay ; and it
can not have been the intention of the governing
Synods adopting the constitution, without any
possible reason, to debar, for one or two years, a
Synod whose co-operation they may desire.
2. We protest, because the Synod of Southern
lowa appeared before the Board precisely on the
same ground as the Synod of Missouri; and yet
it was received,,while the Synod of Missouri was
rejected. The action of four of the Synods was
confessedly the same respecting both these
Synods; and the resolution adopted by the Synod
of Cincinnati, embraced, in precisely the same
language, the Synods of Missouri,. Upper Missouri,
and Southern lowa. That resolution we have
quoted above. The only difference ;in the lan
guage of this Synod, is in their answer to the pro
test of the minority.
, . Respecting the Synod of Southern lowa, the
language is as follows: " The Synod of Southern
lowa is welcome to the Union; according to the
provisions of the constitution." The language
respecting the Synod of Missouri, is as follows :
" The 'Synod have expressed their readiness to
receive, the Synod of Misiouri, under oar coned
tutional provision." r The phrase, "readiness to re
ceive under constitutional provision," as truly, ex-
For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate
Protest,
THE PRESBYTERIAN' - BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
presses consent, as the phrase, " welcome to the
union of Synods under constitutional provision."
And if the constitution requires the Synod of
Missouri to apply directly to the Synods after
they have expressed their readiness to receive it,
the constitution requires the same of the Synod
of Southern lowa. Yet the latter was received,
and the former rejected. This opposite treat
ment of two Synods, whose claims were identical,
we cannot but regard ns invidious, unjust, and of
most unhappy tendency, as to the interests of the
Seminary and the Church.
It cannot be said by the majority of the Board,
that the Synod of Southern lowa was received be
cause of its having been a component part of the
Synod of lowa ; because not one of the Synods has
proposed to admit it on this ground, and because
the Synod of Cincinnati, in their resolution, ex
pressly put it on the same footing with the Synods
of Missouri and Upper Missouri, "to be admitted
according to the provisions of the constitution—
Art. 11., Sec. 2."
3. We protest., because the peculiar relation
which the Synod of Missouri has sustained, and
still sustains to this Institution, gives great weight
to its claims, and requires the most liberal con
struction of the constitution in order to its admis
sion ; whereas the more liberal construction was
given in favor of a Synod having no such claims.
That Synod was united with the Synods in the
control of the Seminary, has recommended its
agents, and contributed to its funds. It has more
than once expressly refused to abandon its claims
In its late action appointing Directors, it, states
expressly that it never has abandoned them. It
is evident, therefore, that in the removal of the
Semitiary, and the adoption of a new constitution,
without its knowledge or consent, it was treated
discourteously and unjustly. We cannot but re
gard the action of the Board, in still depriving
this Synod of its rights, when two-thirds of the
Synods have signified their consent to its adults
' sion, just as in the ease of the Synod of Southern
lowa, as a grievous wrong, from which nothing
but evil can,result:
4. We protest, because this action,, under all
the,oircurastanoes, be _ regarded as conclusive
proof of a design to make the Seminary a sec
tional Institution • 'and . this impression, already
extensively prevalent, tends to alienation of feel
ing amongst brethren, and the destruction of the
peace and unity of the Church. Nothing short
of absolute necessity, can, jn our opinion, justify
Such action, especially in this day of agitation arid
division in Churches.
5. We protest, because, whatever may have
been the design of those voting to exclude the
Synod of Missouri, the action has the effect of
making the Seminary a sectional institution, and
in a way adapted-to do great injury.' We are fully
persuaded, therefore, , that, the exclusion of the
Synod of Missouri, will render it absolutely im
possible to secure harmonious co-operation, and
will thus defeat the enterprise. If the constitu
tion requires such action, is most unhappily
drawn, and ought to be changed before we proceed
further: Hit clod not, the action will prove' the
more deeply injurious.
6. The resolution afterwards adopted, recom
mending the Synods to receive the Synod of Mis
souri upon her present application, does not, in
our View, relieve the difficulty. For that Synod
is this deprived of its rights for one year longer.
Besides; the Board has heretofore recommended
the Synods to receive the Synod of Missouri, and
yet, when the Synods have signified their consent,
and the Synod has appeared before us, it has been
rejected. Still further, we cannot but regard it
as ;a significant fact, that the only difficulty in re
ceiving this Synod, has arisen wholly from the
character of the action of the Synods represented
by those brethren who virtually excluded the
Synod of Missouri at the commencement of the
enterprise. We are, grievedlo know, that after
uniting with the members of the Board in recom
mending the reception of the Synod of Missouri,
they co-operated in securing an action which, on
their interpretation of it, excludes that Synod for
another year, if not forever.
'This state of facts is the. more injurious in its
effects, because oar Professors elect have stood so
related to these brethren, as that 'prejudices
against them must be strengthened.
For these reasons, we feel constrained to record
our earnest and solemn Protest against this pro
ceeding. (Signed.) H. M. ROBERTSON,

WIVES IN AFRICA.
My men were exceedingly delighted with
the cordial reception we met with every.:
where ; but a source of annoyance was found
where it was not expected. Many of their
wives had married other men during our
two years' absence. Mashauana's wife, •who`
bad borne him two children, was among the
number. He , wished to appear note to feel
it much, saying, " Why, wives are as plen
tiful as grass, and I can get another; she
may go." But he would add, "If I had
that fellow, I would/open his ears for him."
As most of them had more wives than one,
I tried to console them, by saying that they
had still more than I had,• and that they had
enough, yet; but they felt the reflection to
be'galling, that while they were toiling, an
other had been devouring their corn. Some
of their wives came with very young infants
in their arms. This excited no discontent ;
and for some I had to speak to the chief, to
order the men, who had married the only
wives some of my companions ever had, to
restore them.
AN AFRICAN JUNGLE.
By climbing the highest trees, we could
see a fine large sheet of water, butsurround
ed on all sides by the same impenetrable
belt of reeds. This is the broad part of the
river Chobe, and is called Zabesa. Two
tree•covered islands seemed to be much
nearer to the water than the shore on which
we were ; so we made an attempt to get to
them first. It was not the reeds alone we
had to pass through; a peculiar serrated
grass, which:at certain angles cut the hands
like a razor,fwa.s mingled with, the reed, and
the climbing eonvolvulus, with stalks which
felt as strong as whip-cord, bound the mass
together. We felt like pigmies in it, and
often the only way we could get on was by,
both of us leaning against a part and bend
ing it down till we could stand upon it.
The perspiration streamed off our bodies,
and as the sun rose high, there being no
ventilation among the reeds, the heat was
Stifling, and the, water, which was up to the
knees, felt agreeably refreshing. After some
hours' toil, we reached one of the islands.'
Here we met an old friend, the bramble
bush. My strong moleskins were quite worn
through.at the knees, and the leather trou
sers of my companion , were torn, and his
legs bleeding. ,Tearing my handkerchief
in two, I tied the pieces round my knees,
and then encountered another difficulty.
We were still forty or fifty yards from the
clear water, but now we Were, opposed by
great masses of papyrus, which are like
palms in miniature, eight or ten feet high,
and an , inch and a half in diameter. These
were laced together by twining convolvulus,
so strongly that the weight of both of us
could not make way into the clear water. At
last we fortunately found a passage prepared
by a hippopotamus. Eager, as soon as we
reached the island, to look along the vista
to clear water, I stepped in and found it
took me at once up to the neck.
AN AFRICAN TRIBE.
The Bechuanas axe universally much at
tached to children. A little child toddling
near a party of men while they are eating,
is sure to get a handful of the food.. This
love of children may arise, in a great meas
ure, from the patriarchal system under
which they dwell Every, little stranger
forms an increase of property to the whole
community, and is duly reported to the
chief—boys being more welcome than girls.
The parents take the riatda of the child,
and often address their children as Ma
(mother,) or Ra (father). Our eldest boy
being named Robert, Mrs. Livingstone was,
after his birth, always addressed as Ma
Robert, instead of Mary, her Christian name.
I have examined several cases in which a
grandmother has taken upon herself to
suckle, a grandchild.' Masina of Comman
had no children after the oirth of her daugh
ter Sins, and , had no milk , after Sina, was
weaned, an event which , usually is deferred
till the child two or three years old.
Sins married when she. was seventeen-or
eighteen, and had. twins ; Cldasina, after at
least fifteen years' interval since she last
suckled a child, took possession of one of
them, applied it to her breast, and milk
flowed; so that she was able to nurse the
child entirely. Magda was 'at this time at'
least forty years of age: " ° I have witnessed
several other eases i.nalogous to this. A
grandmother of l'orty,' or even less, for they
become withered at an early age, when left
at home with a Young child, "applies it to
her own shrivelled breast, and milk soon

about thirty.five years of tioe the child was

LIVINGSTONE AM) 'TUE LION
When in the act of ramming down the
bullets, I heard a shout. Starting and,
looking half round, ;1, saw the lion just in
the act of springing upon me. I was upon
a little height. He caught my, shoulder as
he sprang, and we both came to the ground
below, together. Growling horribly close
to my ear, he shook me as a terrier dog does
a rat. The shock iroduced a stupor similar
to that which seems to be felt, by a mouse
after the first shake of the ' cat. It caused
a sort of dreaminess, in which there' was no
sense of pain nor feeling . of terror, though
quite. conscious of all that was happening.
It was like what patients, partially under
the influence of chloroform, describe, who
see all the, operation, hut feel not the knife.
This singular condition ' was not the result
of any mental process. The shake annihi
lated fear, and allowed no sense of horror
in looking round at the beast. This pecu
liar state is probably . produced in all animals
killed by the carnivora; and, if so, is a
merciful provision by our benevolent Creator
for lessening the pain 'of death. Turning
round to relieve myself of the.weight, as he
had one paw on the back of my head, I saw
his eyes directed to Mebalwe, who, was try
ing to shoot him at' a distance of ten or fif
teen, yards. His gun, a flint one, missed
fire in both barrels. The lion immediately.
left me, and attacking. Mebalwe, bit his
thigh. Another man, whose life I had saved
before, after he had been tossed by a buffalo,
attempted to spear the lion while he' was .
Mewalbe. He left Mewalbe and
caught this man by the shoulder, but at
that moment the bullets he had received,
took effect, and he fell down dead. The
whole was the work of a few moments, and
must have been his paroxysm, of dying
rage. in order to take out the pharm from
him the l3akatla on the following day made
a huge bonfire over the carcase, which was
declared to be that of the largest lion they
had ever seen. Besides crunching the bone
into splinters, he left eleven teeth- wounds on
the upper part of my arm. "A - wound from
this - aiiiinal'a tooth• resembles' a gunshot
wound; it is generally followed by a great
deal of sloughing and discharge, and pains
are felt in the part periodically ever after
wards. I had on a tartan jacket on the oc
casion, and I believed that it , wiped off all
the virus from the teeth that pierced the
flesh, for my two companions in this affray
have, both suffered from the peculiar_pains.
While I have escaped with only , the incon
venience of a false joint in my 'limb. The
man whose shoulder, was wounded showed
me his wound actually burst forth afresh on
the same month of the following year."
THE CHIEF OF THE MAXOLOLO.
Here.is. a portrait of Sebituane, the in
telligent chief of the Makololo :
" He was upon an island with all hisyrin
cipal men around him, and engaged in sing
ing when we arrived: It was more like
church-'music than the sing-song e e e, m 83
m, of the Bechuanas• in the South ;. and
they continued -the tune for some seconds
after we approached. We informed him of
the difficulties we had encountered, and how
glad we were that they were all at- an end
by.at 'last reaching his presence. He signi
fied his own joy, and added, ' your cattle are
all bitten by the tsetse, and will certainly
die ; a but never mind, I , have oxen and will
,give you as many as you need.' We in our
ignorance, then thought that, as so few tse
tse had bitten them, no great mischief would
follow: He then presented us with an ox
and a. jar of honey as food, and handed us
over 'to the care of Mahale, who had headed
the. party to Kolobeng, and would now fain
appropriate to himself the whole credit of
our coming.' Prepared skins of oxen as soft
as cloth were given to cover us through the
night; and as nothing could be returned to
this chief, Mahale became the owner of
them. Long before it was day, Sebituane
came, and sitting down by the fire, which
was lighted for our benefit behind the hedge
where we lay, he'nariated the difficulties he
had himself experienced , when a young
man, in crossing that.same Desert which we
had, mastered long afterwards. * * * *
Sebituane was about fortpfive years of age;
of a tall and wiry "form, an olive or coffee
and-milk color, and' slightly bald; in man
ner, cool and collected, and More frank in
his answers than any other chief I ever. met.
He was the greatest warrior ever heard of
colOny; for, "unlike . Mosilikaise,
Dingaan, and others, be always led his men
into battle himself.. When he saw the ene
my, be felt the edge of his battle axe, and
said, " Aha, it is sharp, and whoever turns
his back on the enemy will feel its edge."
.So fleet of foot was he, that all his people
knew there was no escape for the coward, as
any Snob would' be out down without mercy.
In some instances of skulking, he allowed
the individual to return home; then calling
him, he would say, " Ah, you prefer dying
at home to dying in the field, do you? You
shall have your desire." This was the signal
for his immediate execution. He came from
the country near the sources of the Likwa
and Namagari rivers in the South, so we met
him 800 or 900 miles from his birthplace.
He was, not the son of a chief, though rela
ted closely to the reigning family of the Ba
sutu ; and when in an attack by Sikonyele
the tribe was driven out of one part,.Sebitu
ane was one in that immense horde of savages
driven baokiby.. eilrigune frolnXurtunab,
in 3824. He then fled to the North with an
insignificant party of men and cattle. At
Melita the Bangwaketse collected the Bak
wains, Bakatla, and Bahurutse to ' eat them
up.' Placing his men in front and the
women behind the cattle, be routed the
whole of his enemies at one blow. Having
thus conquered Mekabe; the chief of the
Bangwaketse, he took immediate possession
of his town and all his goods. * * Con
quering all around the lake, he beard of
white men living at the West coast; and
haunted by what seems to have been the
dream of his whole life, a desire to have in
tercourse with the white man, he passed
away to the South-West, into the parts
opened up lately by Messrs. Galton and An
derson. There, suffering intensely from
thirst, he and his party came to a small well.
He decided that the men, and not the cattle,
should drink it, the former being of most
value, as they could fight for more, should
these be lost. In the morning they found
the cattle had escaped to the Damaras.

VOUS .IMB REES, M.,CORNELL, A. M.,
M. D., Permanent Member of the American Medical As G
elation; Fellow of the •Maseaclinisects Medical Society;
Member of the N. E. H. G. Society. and of the B S. N. H.,
has given special attention, since 1815,,t0 the treatment
and oure of the above named diseases; daring which period
more than five hundred cases have been treated; over one
hundred of which have fully reoovered, and many of the
others have been signally benefitted. All kinds of nervous
diseases are treated, and they are numerous. His office is
at No. 630 Washington Street, Boston, Mass.
A pamphlet will be sent to any who may wish for further
information upon his plan of treatment, upon receiving
fifty -•cents, in postage stamps. Ho makee no promise , of
curing every ease; but the following is given as having
remained permanently. well for nearly ten years, and the
gentleman can be consulted by.letter, as below:—
I feel constrained by a sense of gratitude. and also by a
desire to benefit others, who may be similarly afflicted, to
acknowledge, through your columns, the relief I have
gained by the use of a medicine prepared by Dr . Wm. M.
Cornell, of Boston, No. 630 Washington Street. For about
seventeen years I have been subject to violent attacks of
convulsions. They occurred at intervals, varying from two
to seven woofs—the fits succeeding each other, sometimes
to the number of seven or eight. Daring that time, I have
been -seder the treatment of several eminentphysicians in
Benton and eietraty. f om.tinies following the directions of
out for a3e Ow.): reliuf. I kolve eppiied to the McLean
Hospital, teeted the efficacy of Thompsonianiam for thirteen
weeks, the Homoeopathic eyetem for two months and, so
desirable was health, that I even resorted to Mesmerism to
disclose the cause of the difficulty and prescribe the remedy,
but still my fits continued.
" Hearing of Dr. Cornell's success in similar cases, I called
on him in September last, since which time I have taken
his medicine and carefully followed his directions, with the
exception of a single occasion. On the sth of January
last, being absent from home, I neglected to takethe medi
cine; and owing to that' circumstance, together with ex.
posure, and some degree of excitement, I had one slight
attack. From that time, I have enjoyed unusual health,
and have since had no symptoms of the complaint that has
probably caused me more suffering than would be expe•
rlenced in a hundred deaths
N. B.—Any information wilt bo gladly given by the sub.
scriber. WM. T. PAGE,
East Stoughton, April, 1849."
Medicine can be sent to any part of the United States,
upon a fell description of the case, though a personal in
terview is always preferred. Good boarding accommoda
tions are prepared for those.who find it necessary to remaha
in Boston tbr some time.
"We have more than once alluded to Dr. Cornell's success
in his specialities of practice. For both consumptive and
epileptic nation's he has made special study, and in. his
,
treatment of both has had. much success., We have per

We might quota from others of the numerous
letters we have, and are constantly receiving,
but we deem the above sufficient to convince the
most skeptical that we have at least the best
preparations in the world for the hair of young
or old. We manufacture no other p!eparations.
Occupying the large building, corner of Broome
and Elizabeth Streets, exclusively for Office,
sales-room and manufactory, we have no time or
',inclination to engage in other manufactures.
These are the only preparations exported in
any quantity to Europe.
We also would call attention to the fact that
we have always avoided all chariatantism. Our
preparations are the highest priced, but the
cheapest, because it lasts longer, and does, more
good ; the expense, in the end, less than others.
We aspire to have the best, not the lowtmt
priced.
