We present to our readers to-day an abb
stract of the proceedings OF our Legislature,
up to Saturday likewise, the Message Of
the Governor It would be superfluous ana
quite unnecessary for US to make any COM
ments upon this document, but we must la
ment, and we believe we will not be alone
n our lamentations, that cur worthy Gov
ernor did not press more cmphatically upon
m. consideration of the Legislature, the
subject of free schools. This is a subject
which has been long and shamcfully neglect
ed bv men who have been selected from
among us as most suitable to promote our
happiness and prosperity and what renders
it mere mortifying, is fact which we are
compelled TO admit, that ignorance, gross lE-
norancc, prevails Throughout our State to a
| greater extent considering to its advantages,
| than in any other in the Union. it has not
been confined to the plebian--it has reached
the floors of our legislature. And why IS this
have we no school fund" to blessthc pool
and extrcate them from the haiserlcs of ~
norance, 3-es, but instead Of its being ap
piled to the purpose for which 1t was Gre
atcd, it is used for other purposes; Canals
&c, are to reap the benefit of it--not thu
people; 1t is used I, promote pceuniary adj
rantages, and not literary.
The attention of our legislative body ha
been called repeatedly to this subject, no
pnly from the executive chair, but by me
moras and petitions, which have alike beer
8krcated with indifference and neglect, cxcep
k3to increase the evil; for by curtailing th
compensation to teachers, schools whicl
were in thriving and prosperous stat
were abandoned, and the little tenants, chil
dren of misfortune, were turned again upo
the waste, to grow up like weeds, wlthou
a knowledge Of their own value For tn
3credit of the State, for their own cred
6s, and what should be paramount e
thc salvation of thousands, we hope our leg
k.islators viii consider the subject and max
kome further provision for the relief OF tn
pteresting portion of our citizens. BY doir
10, they will not only contribute iastif
Benefit to society, but will ensure hoo
sQbessing to the commonwealth.
