Since my appointment, the students have sent me, anonymously, through the post-office, resolutions to be presented by me at the Convention.

I have copied them into a book as they came in, and I will transcribe them for you and send them herewith.

The spirit of liberty is, on the whole, certainly rising among the students.

As the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church, I cannot but hope that my trials in the cause of freedom have wrought good in the Institution.

Some who send in these resolutions privately, are, no doubt, secret friends, needing a little more courage to face the pro-slavery feeling and sentiment which are all about them.
