wards respecting the subject of education ia its 40
plica lon TO what consider the real, important 40
moral and our religious relations IL is not for me
to tel you the enormous moral advantages whioh
you derive from these instituti0ns and by the large
development OF that educational system of which
THIS Is but tne symbol. lHesr. heat It affects the
whole difference OF mans progress In lfs-this
question of whether or not he Is well educated.
True, there are some men who seem as If they could
do without education: have known most wonder
tic, and have known some whom you could ssfsy
place in situations of confidence aud trust and re-
spOnsblity who could neither re,d nor write.
But turn from the Continent and look at the
United States. always regard America as though
It were England viewed through magnifying glass,
for she possesses all Of our good qualities and not
few Of our bad ones Here we see institutions and
developed before You see in the United States two
great countries the North and the South. Tho
North cOmprehends the great mass OF the general
education, the free CONNER ial spirit. a9d the gene
South you have country where the people had just
as good chance when they started OF beng a. good
ana as great the North ano yet they placei in
certain inferior condition. and their future We all
there is an Institution there which has become alb
h0IIent to our nature-the institution OF slavery.
(Applsuse.) That is to say, in the Southern
States of America there are 100000 uuen whom
This stands as huge barrier between the Northern
and the Southern States. II we had in England
such canker as this-h We were employing nail
lions Of laborers whom We dare not connect With in
dare not cultivate because it would be at the risk
of our lives and prOperty-we should then have
some idea of the state Of the ,uthe States of Ame

once said. al should not object, perhaps, to be q
slave II had good master; but | should very
much object to being stakeholder, anyhow" Zap
plause) This is the true way OF putting ths ques-
ton, for how sad must the condition Of that man
be who Is afraid to educate and raise those around
him. (Hear, hear) Let US thank Heaven that
there is no class in this country whom it would
not be to our interest to make wiser
perillipS our lives '' and pro Sss would
DO very much to advance the security and
value Of both. (Appause) Now, ladies and gentle
men, word on the relation of education 70 morality
know that there are some persons Who tlink that
there is something in education which, will nos
aay stimulates the passions-but who think it does
not at all follow that because people more eduos
ted they are more moral. There may be individual
under the cognzance of some Of Us that education
has only succeeded IN making man scleyer rascal.
It Is quite clear that II man cannot read or write
he cannot be guilty Of the crime OF fo'gery. But
what does this prove! Extend education, and N the
end you will find that there is evil nature 10 some
of us that will abuse any power that we may have.
But you may as well say that we should not have q
man of sound body because he may use II for vio-
lence against his neighbor, a. cay that you should
not have man OF sound mind because he may ase
his talents badly. (Applause.)
