! JfS.5 hl...aetins Free Schools.

A. TIM Srnrr winch SLAVERY EScrDERs.-
{ slavery has as deleterious an Influence on
the srhitss rs on the blaets -on the o~ner'
5. M on the orned. Just read the extract CIV
en- below from an article which recently APP
peafed in the Richmond (va.) Examiner, a
paper devoted heart and soul 10 the prOpaga-
ton of Slavery. The Examiner makes
aeree onslaught upon the free school system
of the North, and ays: - -
ave have got to hating everything with
the prefix frs-from free negroes down and
up, through the whole catalogue of abOmi-
nations, demagogueries, lusts, PHILOSOPHERS,
fanaticism and follies, free farms, free labor,
free nigges, free society, free will, free
thinking, free love, FREQ wives, free children
and free schools, all belonging to the same
brood Of damnable isms whose mother is Sin
and whose daddy is the Devil ARE all the
progeny Of that prolific monster which greet
ed Satan on his arrival at the gates of hell.
But the worst Of all these abominatiOns-
because, when once installed, il becomes the
hot-bcd propagator Of an-is the modern
system of free schools. We forget who it Is
that has charged and proved that the New
England system Of free schools has been the
cause and prolific source Of all the legions Of
horrible infdelties and treasons that have
turnsi her cities into Sodoms and Go
morIahs, and her fair land into the COM
mon nesting-plaecs Of bowling bedlamites.-
We abominate the system because theschOols
arc free, and because they make that which
ought to reward toll, and earnest, ardent,
and almost superhuman individual effort,
cheap, commonplace, priceless and uninvit-
ing. As there is no royal road to learning.
40 there ought to be no moo road to learn
ing.
"a "little learning" is dangerous thing
Ito the individual, to society, to learning
itself, to all conservatism of thought and all
stability in general Affairs, The sole func-
ton of the free school is to supply that slit
tie learning" and thus it is charged to the
brim with incendiarisms, heresies, and all
the explosive elements which uprOot and
rend and desolate society"
And with this foul attack on the FIRST
rights Of human nature, the Examiner
makes loud professions Of its Democracy"
"what public crimes are committed in that
name!"
