Tdiat nimble-footed Censor, the St. Louis

lustily on his own responsibility. Hut have a
enre Mr. Times, lest you bump yourihead
flpttnttnherwling'.-- Mr:W.,-like-all truly
patriotic citizens, it a State Rights' man, in the
sense, that he could resist any unconstitutional
enactment of the Federal Government, o tie-
clared by the Supreme Judicial Tribunal of the
Union : at the tame time, rendering a ready obe
dience to any law until thus tested and decided
void. This helms publicly and privately avowed
and no other nosilion pan ho nssiimn. mnintninincr

at once, a proper tcgard for State sovereignly,
and Federal power and dignity. Very dillcrcnt,
the Timet well knows, is the creed cf secession
traitors, whose touch-stone of constitutionality
is their whims and who found the .war tocsin
whenever their partizan intrigue ore defeated,
or their sectional interests invndeil.' Hut Mr.'
W, is most assuredly a State Rights' man, in
that he believes Legislatures-: much better
employod in firing tip tlio iron-fiirtiriccs of their
constituents, and in building scliool-house and
Railroads than in constructing braggart Reso
lutions and twilling, to the detriment of the
rubhe. Treasury, , ,......,.., . . ..
How rJoeV-Mr. Vm. Priest, the Democratic
caudidale toi the Le'ilu'urc fnini Ralls county
stand affected towards the subject ot Internal
Improvements? We hope Mr. Newland will
attend to this, and tneke him come out freely and
Hilly; cither get oft the rotten platfornTof his
party, or frankly confess his opposition to In
ternal Improvements. No ; dodging -no more
doilging, gentlemen. Under present circum
stances we cannot afford to pay men to neglect
or legislate oiir State out of ' her just rights.
We should be careful to tend v.higs to. the
Legislature; for with one exception, all opposi
tion to the loon of the Stnto't credit came from
the, Democrats, Some of O'em1 were violent in'
thcijf opposition. .The Icntoh men were more
favorable; to , the 'jneasure jlion' the Anlicsy
tlie House evry whig voted for it, and in the
Soiiate "only one whig against it. And Mr.
Priest hat never unfolded his views' at to the
great, iron, highwuy to St. Joseph. The gentle
man will please furnish an exposition. . . ., -.'.

1 ' .Haxxibal1,' June 20, 1832. :.
Mr. O. , G. St'boxo ' ' ' ;; ,
" '' ' " Dear Sir: I ant in rocoipt of v'our
note of the 28lh inst, in which ymi say 'you ore
authorized by 'the Kev. L. Maiuord, Universal
list,' of St. Louis, to challenge me to discuss
certain propositions which you detail. In rely
10 your very .especiaii note i nave to say .,
1. That when in a very unobtrusive manner,
from my own pulpit, and to the congregation 'of
which I have pastoral care, I delivered a series
of discourses upon the doctrine or future punish
ment; 1 llttld expected to stir up the great udvo
catc and' defender of modern Universalisin in the
West, nud cull from him a challenge for. a regu
lar pitched battle in religious controversy,
, 2. 1 am not a man of war, have never held
a public religious dincussion, nor, have I much
confidence in the ultimate religious tendency, of
such controversies; Mr. Manford is a veteran,
in religious controversy, and it is lobe presumed,
is thoroughly schooled, iu the tactics of debate,
and prepared ingeniously to Jlake, advantage of.
liny ucuciuncy in ins cuinpeiupr in mis respect,
3. Waiving any objection to meet Mr. 'Man
ford in debate from the last consideration. I have
J.to say of.the challenge, lhat.it.is a extraordina
ry one, , Mr, Manford fixes up to suit himsell
the whole substance of the debate time, nhicsi
and ull, and then,' forsooth, I may, 'with yourself,'
agree upon the preliminaries -.la tins o speein'
men of Mr. Manl'ord'a tactie's?,' If so, for once!
he
mr
with
er
challenge Mr. Manford, I certainly
itfbr'him'td propose tlie time and place; haf
Mr. M. extended this courtesy to me, I shouk
have proposed St. Loitis as the place, 'rind frot
the fiiteenth to the. twenty-fifth of, August 's tht
time." Ir should have proposed St. Lcuiii, and l
ken'it to Mr. M.'s own congregation, becaui
his'ahxiely for debate wotihf indicato that !r
cause needed it, which is not tlie caso withmif
in llannibhl.' I would have proposed the tut!
I mention above, because such re my prc-cl-
giigemcnts, that I could not uttend to itatii
earlier date. . - ! 1 : ' ' '
4. I cannot consent to discuss the propositus
presented, because of their tautology. Thi'e
out of four, at least, present mainly the s:jc
issue, ana were 1 to drive nun from his positln
in the first proposition, he might assume te
same position in the third, and again iit the fdurh
propositions, so that the iliscussion would e
without system, a mere child's play, a throwf j
of dust into each other's eyes. The main ise
between us is made up in the following prop
sition which is in nearly the same words as M.
Maniord s third: -Do
the Scriptures teach that all mankind vt'.l
be finally holy and happy? I will deny. ?
As the challenged party I hm thrown itpn
the defensive, and where thero is but one prr,-
. . ... , i , . . 1
nsuioii, me nrguiive properly Deiongs 10 me
Mr. Manfcrd can have a debate upon the tojns
above indicated, which I think perfectly fair.
'5. You express for yourself and many 'of cr
Citizens a desire to hear such a diseinsjon. 'iid
I should be glad to gratify you in (his reSrkt,
but there are ns great, or perhaps a ereater um
ber, who, from Mr. Manford course, art of
opinion that he is exceedingly anxious to obtiin
some notoriety in this city, to give to himse? a
prominence here which will enable him to Jis
scmiuate his peculiar doctrines, and belieJng
his doctrines to be destructive to the souliof
men, they are unwilling that he should cnoy
that prominence in the pulpit or upon the alar
of the Methodist Cliureh. No such objeefon
can be urged by Mr. M.'s congregation, for, ns
univorsnlists, they do not believe my doetrhes
destructive to the souls of men.
, You wilkfleass inferm me at an early period
whether or not Mr. M. will agree to the abuve
terms.' ' ' '' ' V- ' : 1

' Dear Sir; Yours of the 2Dth inst. is received
which I hasten to answer in as brief a manner
as 1 possibly can. In vour first vo.i sav that
"when In a very unobtrusive manner I delivered
a series of discourses upon the doctrine 6f future
punishment," &c. Here you appear to infer
a complaint for thus being noticed in Mr.

in them? We think not, but would be found

Ihe responsibility for Mr. Manford, and modify
the propositions so as lo give him one etrcino
nffinnatioii m uccordanco with his tcachingf,and
yourself one c.tlrctno alfirnialion in vccord.iueo
with jour teachings, They aro as follows:
1. Do the scriptures ti'aeh the final hy!incs
and hanniness uf all uiankiud ? M. uftrms;
2. Do the scrijjfnrfis leavh' that any jmrl id
mankind will suffer endless ptinishmciit i 11.

' 1C vou aeeciil the ubovc, they now stand,
Mr. M. will uoeqit uf your time in August.
Now, friend Rush; us you have 'taken occasion
lo Uenounce na sugmaiue wic v. niverMiusis in
tliis cmnniunity, we el.iun' jhe same rights which
all courts of jusiicehold in reserve for criminals,
that in, a fair trial,, aud when that is the ease,
and the law ond the testimony aro found to be
against us,' then, and not "lillthcn will wc Burr
rentier, ami acknowledge, as you say, inatjour
doctrines are " ilestrnelive to the souls ol men.
Lastly; yoii here infer, in language so plain that
it cannot bo mi-understood, that your members
would consider it a desecration of the Methodist
altar", to' permit a Univcrsalist preauln'r, in a
discusstun" with yourself,' to thoroughly iuvestir
uate
the scriptures lor truth. ' ' Well, if such bo
the'fuct. tho'v arc more iirciudiecd than oilier:
in this city., ftut Mr.' Munl'ord.has not asked

that Mr. Manford will, provided you accept of
Ms. challenge upon' fair grounds, procure, in
this city i ut good a house, nud as conlforlablc a
one cs there. is ui Tlio city, lor tlio tlebalc to ue

friend Rush, what .excuse, next? for you must
acknowledge that :yotl threw' the first stono.
Tlie Universalists in this city have no il.jection
to your bringin;' all of your artillery to bear up
on them, provided you are disposed to give (hem
a fair chance for defence, but unless you show
by your acts a disposition fo act fairly, and meet
thtyn upon honorable grounds, they wil consider
yonrjinprovcked attack upon them as' 'unjust,
unmanly, and cowardly. ' Now my friend, I am
in hopes, in my plain talk, that I have said noth
in2 that will give you the least offence; for. hi

if it can b made appear that Mr. Manford

of ll.mnibiV But if he has lectured thereupon
those subjits, I shall maintain my right to carry
the disctfioji there.
You subuit two propositions for discussion, viz:

and hnppirrss of all mankind? - M. affirms.
''2. Do he scriptures teach that any part or

between ourselves iu relation to lljis great nnd

that some two weeks beforo you commenced
your series of lectures upon future punishment
fif such thev rnnV be culled), veil announced
that you wo lid deliver such a series of lectures
publicly. On the day Appointed, many went lo
hear your first (but disappointed they were)
and what was it but loud assertions in tho way
of denouncing and sii-inalizing the Universal
doctrine, nnd UnivcssUlists eendrully? Here,
my dear sir, you accused them of many things ;
and UiKlerloolc to try ami oonuemn ttietn uinore

Now, if you throw all composing his challenge

3. Tn: propositions,
Mr, Manford laid down
four propositions, three of which involved the
same in un issue. I ask was this fair? Was
there ever a public, .controversy .in which the
propositions thus mingled? Whoever saw such
a controversy? . W'e will take tlie celebrated
controversy between Campbell and Rice as an
example. They discussed sis propositions, but
tlie issue of , eauli was cepurate from the others.
I would not consent to discuss Mr, Mauford's
propositions as presented, but 'selected one of
them, which presented tlie main issue, and with
u mure verbal alteration, to cut oil nil quibbling,
I proposed to discuss it... Next I was presented
two propositions, presenting tlie same issne; this !
i regarded as more trilling. . .,..
To show Unit ihe proposition I was willing to
ditiuss with, Mr. Maniord was a. fair, one, 1
will present it by tlio sine of ihe one discussed
by Messrs. Waller nnd Pingree.. . My proposi

From a letter dated
Fon r Laiiaiiie, June III, 1852.
The general health of the cmigkin between
Fort Kearney and this place isBry good. I
have seen no sickness at all, umUil few fresh
graves. At Fort Kearney, the umbers who
had passed from the 1st of May June 1 at.
were stated in round numbers ui,100 wagons,
13.000 iiion, 1,G00 women, 2,50tiliildren, 43,
000 head or cuttle, 3,200 or hors.4350 of mules,
1,200 of shei;p, 120 carts. SiiiijTJiat time w
have passed GOO or 700 wagoi' mortly with
droves and horse teams, peggintrtit from over
driving, logiiiher with all the 2P0 sheep, in
one large (lock. Great as the lures appear,
many probably passed without Ifg registered,
and the numbers north of thrlatte exceed
those upon our route. Grass ifelenty as yet.
Since we started we have mafhut two Dad
camp grounds on this account. I ''" .'
