South, that the, rejection Of Judge 'Iiorihg sy

The system iwhick has al> afohg been pur-
sued by Southern parents Of sending tlieit SOUS
to the North. to complete their. education, is
unwise in its political aspect and dangerous in
its social bearing :, 1t is. but one of the many
modes that haye been pursued OF draining the
resources Of the South, and of pouring into tire
fuiflap of Northern enterprise her wesh tf and
the products Of her industry, Thus f;.p9}ysef

There the proprietors OF the land reside primer:
paily 10 England, and lavish in the extrava
