Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1850-12-13

We are graii6ed to see that the attention Of
our Legislature is engaged in adopting some
plan Tor the more perfect organization of our
Common school system. We hope that our law
makers wLlsoar above the petty strifes Of party
and devote themselves to the establishment of
a wise and efficient system of education. bv
which knowledge and morality should be taught
TO the rising generations. Without intelligence
and virtue, what is to become of our boasted in
stitutlons? We are aware that large sums
nave been appropriated, and expended for what
is called " Common School {" education. But
what has been expended has been almost fruit-
less, for want of a good and efficient system.
Education is not a charity to be bestowed or
withheld, at the whim of the Legislature it is
a most solemn duty. The State is bound by
every consideration of obligation and interest,
to provide the means of giving a substantial,
useful education 10 every one of her children,
All the people alike are interested in this sub.
iect. The rich, no less than the poor. have /,
personal concern in this matter. The wealthy
man Of to-day may be the poor man Of to-morrow
and if not. the security Of his property requires
an intelligent, upright and Industrious commu.
nifty, and the welfare of his children is essen.
tally dependent upon the condition and characte,
of those with whom they grow up and associate
The State has means the most ample, for the
best system of education. If the frozen and
barren regions OF the North can support com.
mon schools. by which every child is educated
the fertile soil and genial cline ofthe South car
do as much. lfwhat is considered the cold and
calculating spirit of the Yankee can endure
sacrifices for this object, surely the warm and
generous heart Of the North Carlinian should
not be closed We have the means we have
the disposition. But what we have hitherto
lacked is the patient industry, the indefatigable
toll, the steady perseverance without which
this great work cannot be accomplished.
Is there not among the sons of the State some
one Of enlarged mind, noble spirit, dauntIes'
courage, unflagging zeal, and patient labor, whc
shall undertake the great task Of providing fol
the education Of the children of North Caro-

nent were not adopted, he would call attention
to another objection, which he would endeavor
to provide for by an amendment, and that was,
that the charter prop sed was a perpetual one and
it was usual TO insert a limit to its existence he
would move for it in this case.
Mr.. Jones having concluded, the debate was
farther continued by Messrs. Steele, Brogden
and Dargan, but as we did not hear the whole
of the speeches. we will not attempta report.

THE COMMUNICATES.

The last lumber of this journal comes TO US
in a new dress and somewhat enlarged. We
sincerely trust the Editor will be remunerated
for his increased expense by large accessions Of
paying subscribers, We subioiE his leading
editorial concerning the change.
We issue our paper this week, as the reader
will perceive, on a large. sheet than formerly
and, in some measure, in a netr dress. The
enlargement claims, and we hope will secure
for US, a considerable accession of names to ouI
subscription list. We shall continue to devote
a portion ofour paper to the temperance cause.
and but a small portion, as our object will be,
in future, to furnish our readers with a rdrietl
of useful, instructive and interesting matter
such as occasional Essays, Tales, Sketches. anG
articles on the subject ofInternal Improvements
Agriculture, and Temperance concise proceed.
ings of Congress and Of the State Legislature
and the current news of the day, will also bt
given; but no temperance or political speeches
or proceedings Of political meetings, shall appear
to interfere with our eariety, or prevent the fu
ture object of our publication.
We shall continue to exert ourself, as w,
have done heretofore, to render the Communica
tor acceptable toall classes of the reading public
Having made no alteration in the terms Of ou
paper, notwithstanding the bestowment of ad
ditional expense and labor, we hope to NEE
with still greater encouragement.

A HARD EXPRESSION.

Wthe many hard and unjustifable words
used in the debate in the House of Commons,
relative to the Sons of temperance, there was
but one expression by our opponents, which
we deem arOrthg of special remark. We al
Jude to the one attributed to Mr.. Jones, of Or
ange, in reply to Mr.. Dargan, who asked him
If he was afraid they would pervert the Order
to political purposes in his County? Mr..
>. replied: -" 0 mo- they (the Sons of Tenn
perance) are small in numbers in my county,
and (with a peculiar sheer of contempt) hey
are snail any rdy!" The Order in the county
which Mr.. J. represents, has perhaps 800 or
400 members in it, among whom are num-
bered Judge Nash, ofthe Supreme Court; Gov.
Swain, Professors Mitchell, Shlpp, Wheat,
Phillips, and others, Of the University Rev,
Drs. Wilson and WitherspoOn, and hundreds
of others Of the wisest and best men of the
community! Would Mr.. Jones attempt to
cast contempt upon such men? Would he be
willing to attempt to argue before them the
g smallneSs" of the business they are engaged
in? Small any Gay"
q Upon what meat hath this our Caesar fed,
That he hath grown SO great ?"

FURTHER A-PPoNTMENTs ZOE

L NJ w. L. IflLlf D WHILE
The Committee, in making further appoint
ments for P. NJ. w. P. Philip S. White, have
consulted with some of the Representatives in
the Legislature from the extreme Western
Counties; and while they express a great de-
sire for Bro. w. to visit their respective sec
tons, yet, they say, candor compels them to
state, that for him to do during the month Of
January or February, will be extremely haz-
ardous, inasmuch as there is a possibilitya
mounting almost to a strong probability that
the heavy falls of snow to which they are sub
ject at those seasons, might shut him up in the
mountains and detain him a month or more
before he would be able to get away. Under
these circumstances, the Committee are com-
PEELED, most reluctantly, to decline their de-
sign of sending him into the Counties of Hay
wood, Macon, Cherokee, Yancy, &C., and have
therefore settled upon the following appoint
ments, viz:
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1850-12-13

~
ca The thanks of the friends of Temper
ance and of our Order particularly, are emf
nently due to Messrs. Steele, Dsrean,
Hayes and Johnston, for their bold and
able defence of the principles and designs
of our Institution, when assailed in the Hall
Of the House Of Commons for two or three
successive days during the past week. Long
may they live to enjoy the rich pleasures Of
an approving conscience, and the confidence
ola free, enlightened and intelligent con-
Stituency. As an humble member of the
Order of the Sons of Temperance, we ten
der them our heartfelt gratitude for the man
ly triumph they achieved in behalf Of a cause
whose only object is to alleviate human suf.
fering and elevate the moral character Of
men. We do hope they will each write out,
for publication in our columns, their remarks
in full upon this subject, that we may do
ourself the pleasure Of laying them before
our readers. And if those who spoke against
the Older, desire to perpetuate an ~unenvia-
BILE notoriety, will give US their remarks, we
will hand them down to posterity with the
greatest-mortyfcatiOn!
We are grati6ed to add, that we have the
assurance, had it been necessary to a vindi-
cation Of the Order. there were many who
kept silence that would have sprung to their
feet and nObly and %valiantly battled in its
cause. Yes, of the noble hearted seuen IT,
sir who first recorded their votes in our "a
vor, Ga hallowed number, rendered sacred
by revolutionary memory and Of the eigA-
ty,sir who came to the rescue at the last on.
slaught, there was perhaps not one who
would not willingly have defended us in de-
bate as well as by their votes. Honor to
them all!

IMPROMPTU LINES,

On hearing Brogden's attack upon the Sons o
Temperance.
The gallant Knight then rose, from Wayne,
And bLGthered forth a long discourse,
Against the Sons, in such a strain
As saved the bill, but left him hoarse.
To ~eulogize his County men,
In such disgraceful terms of praise,
That sinners had to weep for them,
When Brogden had explained their Ways.

ma ever take up the idea, that a few dollars
might be appropriated to the Spirit of the Age
for this purpose ? :
We are satisfied that the way to reach the
