Mr. Coeume submisted • string of reeolatiom in
reference to this bill, mu sapperted Mem be reeler/ill.
lie considered the bill the result of an agitatioe and
clamour for liberty to each tam to follow his own
opinions. The Church of gland, after She exam*

or to any religious temdtitig whatever. and a referees*

upon legislative aid, Mitered of each man on his own
exertions, be believed loglialtmen will soon be hated
to have forgotten the glories' examples of the past, and
to have degenerated as ether macre bays. He did not
say that no enoournement should be glees to education;
but !mutated • kind of indirect competition by provid-
ing that before • boy or girl of 1.1! years old coati receive
