such an animal he is in the “wrung pew,
and we should like to sec him “hailed

It is stated that there were 6,000
Germans in the Fremont pooeession in
Pittsburgh on Wednesday last. Our
Democratic friends have Fost an impor

Judge Andrews.—It having been
suggested that this “old Roman'* bad
probably deserted Itis American friend-
and joined the fortunes of Buchanan in
the present contest, it may not be amiss
to state that we have a letter before u>
In which he declares his preference for
Fillmore over all other candidates, and
his determination to support him in the

RESOLUTIONS
Adapted unanimously by the Faculty of
the Jlissouri University on Thin s-
day, July the 16/A. 1856.
Whereas, President James Shannon,
who has presided over the Missouri
University for six years past with signal
ability, has declined the appointment
recently offered him by the Board of
Curators, and has thus severed his con
nection with his former associates in
office:
Therefore, Resolved unanimously,
That the 'members of this Faculty en
tertain a high admiration of President
Shannon, as a profoand scholar, a pi
ous Christian, an amiable gentleman and
an honest man.
Resolved, That we relinquish the as
sociation which has existed between him
and ourselves, with sincere regret; and
that we hope his loss b» this Institution
and to this community may prove a
great gain to some other locality.
Resulted. That we consider Presi
dent Shannon an honor to the State of
Missouri, and that we hope it may suit
his convenience still to continue within
its limits.

of Missouri, who shall hold his office
in the manner prescribed by said Act,
for the term to commence from date and
terminate on the 4th day of Julv, ISGi.
Resolved. That James Shannon, A.
M., be hereby unanimously elected
President of this University.
Resolved, That a committee of three
members of this Board be appointed bv
the President of the Board, to wait up
on President James Shannon and in
form h*m ot his appointment to the
Presidency of the University of the
State ok Missouri, and present him a
copy of these Resolutions, and ask his
acceptance of the Presidency.
President Shannon's Response.
To the Ho no ruble, the Board of (Jitnx-
brrs, of the University of the Stale of
yn stouri:
Gentlemex—I Lave just received
from Messrs. Brady, Cross and Rogers,
your committee for that purpose, a copy
of your resolutions unanimously elect
ing me President oi the University for
six years terminating on the Fourth day
of July 1562, and asking my accept
ance of the same.
Permit are, Gentlemen, to express
icy heartfelt and profound gratitude for
this distinguished mark of your confi
dence. It is. however, with deep re
gret, that I feel compelled by my con
victions of duty and self-respect to de
cline the honor in question.
At the same time, in surrendering the
office, with which l have been-honored
lor the last six years, I may be permit
ted to kno.r, that notwithstanding the
partisan wat of unexampled fierceness,
that has beeu waged against me from
my first appointment to the present hour,
the University, under niy administra
tion has sustained no detriment Pre-
vions to my appointment, the largest
number of students per session received
into the Iustitubon was
the smallest
-j —— lenient ,
they are one to the other, | uve duo t know
escaped the notice of any intelligent ar ^ *»-’*
on the supposition that a “fellow feeling
makes them wondrous kind.’' Both ™
secthmafists, both are agitators, both
are partisans rather than patriots ; both
are thoroughly unscrupulous, and both
are grasping for the spoils.
Although New York, Kentucky,
Delaware, Maryland. Tennessi e, Flori
da, Louisiana, and California, have de-
manner far
Northern and South-
! era Democracy swear that all the States
that do not gu for Fremont will certain
ly vote for Buchanan. The New York
Herald gives the majority to Fremont,
and the Richmond Enquirer awards it
to Buchanan ; while all the time it is
notorious that unless they coalesce the
election of either is not even probable
If New York atone votes for Piilmnre,
the eleetion of Fremont by the people
will be an impossibility, and that New
kork wilt do so there is not the shadow
of a doubt. If Pennsylvania rejects the
Buchanan Democracy next month, and
that it will do so tew sane men really
doubt, there is no chance for Buchanan
carrying a single Free State, and con
sequently he cannot be elected by the
people.
The election would then be thrown
into the House of Representatives, and
there Ftllmore, we say it advisedlv,
most be elected unless the Fremrmtirs
and Bue/tanrers coalesce. If they be
true to the principles which they profess
neither the Black Republicans nor the
Squatter Sovereign Democrats would
yield one iota to the other. It mould be
yielding, if the Black Republicans
were to consume the time until the 4th of
.March and thus permit the Senate to
elect Mr. Breckinridge. Therefore,there
would really be but the one object before
through the medium of the newspapers.
