TRUE pHILANrHRopY-TRUE WISDOM.

The Convention now in session to amend the Constt-
ton of Pennsylvania have adopted provision, that oil
the children in the Commonwealth shall be educated at
the public expense. The details OF the scheme, any,
we have not seen.
The conception is most magnificent and worthy of the
great State which has orginatedit The benefits which
will result from it. will prove incaculable blessings to the
whole population. -
In Republic like ours where all power resides with
the body Of the people, such thing as an Ignorant and
unleered man ought not to be found 1t is the part Of
wisdom and patriotism to give the widest diffusion posi-
BILE to the rays of light among all classes of the people;
and the State which adopts the principle Of educating all
its children establishes its free institutions upon the
broadcast and most enduring basis.-hichaaond Wing

We give insertion to this excellent editorial of the
Philadelphia Ledger, and recommend its perusal TO the
attention of our benevolent citizens.
. eve publish this day, the appeal of Mathew Carey
and other citizens Of Philadelphia to the public in be-
half of the numerous body of honest and industrious
women, who in wealthy community suffer, at each
returning winter all the horrors of extreme poverty.
Mr. Carey is well known for his activity and zeal in
every effort for relieving the poor and the names of as
socates in this appeal, will not fail to receive respect
full hearing from the citizens of Philadelphia.
The subject Of female labor has than once engaged
our attention. for have always been convinced that
female labor not adequately paid We never could
find good reason for condennlng women necessarily
excluded from many empoyments open 10 men, to a
smaller compensation for labor that required intelligence
as well industry and application, than was awarded
to the most stupid of men. for what requires mental
and much less corporal exertion We always thought
that the fact of combining her within narrow field Of
employment, afforded good reason for making her
compensation greater than that of man. and have
ever exerted ourselves against the current prendces
this subject.
The compensation Of women in our cities does no
afford them asuhicent maintenance. We know not wha
may be proposed la town meeting upon the subject
but we venture to suggest as remedy that womer
receive the aohole profits of their labor. We have al
ways objected against the practice of employing thou
sands of them by Wholesale dealers in ready made cloth
ing who make fortunes out of their unrequed labor
and who begin with other capital than bank credit
We propose resolution to be adopted in the meet
ing that the citizens and their families buy readyma
clothing Of women only.

when any one asks leave in general terms

almost matter Of course now from
the Journal it does not appear that
Mr.. Davis wished to introduce any
resolution, that he had offered on any
former occasion-nof any one renewing
Mr.. Pinkney's Sd Resolution, or having
any reference whatever TO II; yet both
these facts are gratuitously y assumed by the
writer for the dlsingenuous purposes of con-
victIng Mr.. Pearce of inconsistency-ando of
Insincerity towards the aboltionists: and
further TO enforce these injurious conclu-
sions, he says further The abolitionists vo-
ted OF course against giving Mr.. Davis, this
opportunity" This last assertion is untrue
every way-many of the aboitionists, vo-
ted with Mr. Pearce on that question, as
appears by the Journal page lS6.
This writer proceeds to say that on a
subsequent day similar resolution was Of
fered by Mr.. Hawes and that Mr.. Pearce
finding how the tide run, voted against
Hawes' Resolution. Now it does not ap
pear that the resolution of Hawes' was SIM
liar to that of Davis, because the one pro.
posed by Davis was never laid before the
House at all. But such writer's stick at
nothing when they cannot find facts sus-
ceptible of distortion, they can most unscru-
pulously manufacture them out of whole
cloth, to suit themselves.
And we find that on the llth Febru-
,ry, 1887, Mr.. Pearcc, by his vote had sus.
aimed the abolition cause, with Mr.. Adams
who stood forth as its champion in the
House, and who had been for some-
ime under sort of proscrptive dealing by
ne slave holders yet because his duty or
ome other cause, prevented him from Civ
ng his voice on the passage of the final
'ote; therefore it must be inferred that he
Judged again and must be holow-hearted
