IL. IL mas constituted mask for the great
abolition crusade of the North. Under its cover
and by felon strokes from its amhuscades,
there was cut down many good and true man,
who fearlessly stood in the deadly breach to
defend the Constitution, and with it to protect
the rights of our section. Fidelity to our gen.
erous allies-honor itself, the moving spirit of
brave men demand atonement At any rate,
We shall leave our friends-our defenders
unavenged, and unite with their slayers
duty to ourselves, loyalty to the Constitu-
ti0n and It's cardinal maxims of civil and reli-
gious liberty, devotion to principle higher
than all earthly things, alike demand that we
shall stand in opposition to this new order.
''By repelling and trampling it under foot
fellow citizens, you will vindicate the great
feature of our republican system-you will
proclaim your regard for integrity and truth
above all else-you will protect religion itself
from the corrupting embrace Of political by
pocrisy-and you will place public and private
morals on q still irmer basis
Respectfully, yours. &c,
AsHEvILLE, July Is, 1885,
Our Public Schools. remarkable sue
cess of the public school system in Boston,
where such institutions are probably superior
in'the advantages they afford to youth to any
others in the world. arises from the fact that
the children of nearly all in the community,
without regard to the means ofparents, attend
them at some period or other of their life. Per-
sons of wealth and leisure may be expected to
attend more closely to the education of their
offspring than those of limited means, whose
business or household engagements occupy
their time almost exclusively. The habit Of
that class, in Boston, of sending their children
to those institutions, results in making them
the pride of such persons; while here, as in
most other communities, it is by no means COM
mon to find them taking the interest in public
(free) educational establishments, which those
manifest whose children must attend them,
or go for the most part uneducated through
books. Thanks to a score of teachers and
gentlemen, who have for many years past man.
aged these institutions in this city, ours are
already full of promise of the future. We
greatly desire to witness the very speedy full
fllment Of that promise, and sincerely believ
ing that if our fellow citizens generally, would
make up their minds to send their children to
them, it will be fulfilled in half the time other
wise to be requisite for their perfection, we
take the liberty to urge on them thus to follow
the excellent example of Boston, in this respect.
