knowledge the receipt of your letter Of inS date.
In the prosecution o journey 10 VISIT some
ncar aud dear relations who reside in the centre and
eastern ountjcs o tbs State and beine limited in the
time which have necessarily assigned for it's com
plelion and my return to Ohio, could not without
! considerable inconvenience, and indeed giving up
a pat oi my concmp latcdroutc, remain here long
enough to give time to make the arrangements
Ion the public dinner which YOU have rendered me
on behalf OF the citizens of Staunton aud Augusta
county. But must beg You to believe, Gentle
men, thai neither the personal Inconvenience 10
which nav remaining would subject me, nor even
the disappointment which il might occasion IN
meeting with some of my relation, whom | have
seen for many years would prevent me from ac-
crdinc To the wishes OF the citizens whom yon repre-
sent and to whom am already sod deeply indebted, il
il were not opposed by other considerations, arising
from the position in which a, present stand be-
fore the American people, and which, from the
view have taken oi the obligations II imposes,
am not permitted To disregard
Whether the conclusions to which have arr
we'd in my consideration OF this matter are cor
rect or not, it is now out of my power to alter
the course of conducl which they have indicated,
rs | have upon several recent occasions, under
their influence, declined invitations OF similar
character.
Thus situated, m, fellow citizens Of Augusta
county viii, trust see in my declining their nvi-
talion, no want OF respect, no deficiency OF graft
tude for the present former distinguished honol
Which they conferred upon me.
To yourselves individually, gentlemen, must
ask leave To say that nothing could b. more graft
fying to my feelings than the terms You have been
pleased to use in the address which you did me the
honor TO present. Your designation Of the kind
OF reception which was to be given TO me at the
proposed dinner is particularly acceptable. Il
Virginia ,oeicome' has ever been associated in
my mind, AS it every where is, with every thing
that admire in hospitality or that delights us in
social intercou all that the heart en-
Joy at the festive board, which the judgment will
not condemn.
Accept, gentlemen, the assurance
OF my warmcst regard,

Ignorance in the United States. I'VE must
educate the whole nation while we may.
All-all who would vote must be enlighten-
ed and reached by the restraining and perse-
vering energies of Heaven. The lanes
and alleys-the highways and hedges
the abodes of filth and sordid poverty must
be entered and the young immortals sought
out and brought up to the light of intellec-
tual and moral daylight. This can be
done.
But the vast amount of uneducated pop
ulation in our land, already calls upon us
loudly to set about the work of rearing ev.
ers where the institutions requisite for uni
versal education.
According to the most accurate estima-
lion which can be obtained, there are in the
United States about million and half OF
children without the means of education,
and about an equal number of adults, either
foreigners or native Americans, that are un-
educated. These large masses of unen-
lightened mind lie in almost every portion
of this nation, and frightful statistics have
been officially given by Legislative invest.
CATION in several of our states. In one OF
the smaller eastern states there are nearly
thirty thousand adults and children, that can.
not read or write. In one of our largest
there are four hundred thousand adults and
children, who have had no instruction, anc
no means provided. In one of the western
states, one third of allthe children in the state
are destitute of any provision for education
These are the states which have taken tn,
lead in making Legislative investigation
Equally appalling Developments await ma
ny of the other states so soon as they hav
public spirit enough to take the same meth
cd for information. Every where and in a
ages, such masses of ignorance are the ma
terial, of all others most dangerous to liber
ty; for, as general fact, uneducated min,
is educated vice. But the safety of our re
public depends upon the intelligence an,
moral principle and patriotism, and propert,
of the naion.-Plea for the scest.
