A Noble Sentiment

His Excelency Gov BRowN, of Georgia,
gives utterance to these noble sentiments in
his annual message:
No monarch rules here And it is the
pride ofour system of government that each
citizen Mt the ballot box possesses equal rights
of sovereignty with every other one Thanks
be to our Heavenly Father, the popular voice
cannot here be hushcd in the silence of des.
potism, but the popular will dictates law
May it thus ever remain How important
it is therefore, that the masses be educated.
so each may be able to read and understand
for himself the constitution and history of his
country. and to judge and to decide for him
self what arc the true principles and policy
OF his government. But how much more inn
portant is it, in my opinion, that every per-
son in the State be enabled to read for him
self the Holy Bible and to comprehend the
great principles Of Christianity, in the cter-
nal truths of which am q firm, though hum
bic believer. Educate the masses and incul-
cate virtue and morality, and you lay it broad
and deep in the hearts of your people"
Gov. BRowN's administration has been are
markably successful one, and we are pleased
to see that the desire is almost universal that
he will consent to accept the second term of
the Executive Office

to market and developed, would have in-
creased our taxes largely and the enhanced
value of property in South Carolina, at
each end, and along the line of the Blue
Ridge Railroad, would have more than COM

The money thus expended would in pc

Acts and Bills.

The Legislature, at its recent session. en-
acted d law giving to the owner Of slave

such savc-the said Magistrates and Free
holders to certify the value thereof to the

assessed.
The act, authorizing the taking of the cen
sus Of the ." free whito inhabitants of this
State" may be found on our first page 1t
Is an important matter, and should be carried
out with correctness and in good faith. The
relative duties of the citizen and officer are
plainly set forth therein. The result, under
this law, fixes our representation in the
House of Representatives for the next ten
years.
We also publish synopsis of the "com-
mon school bill" of Mr.. MEMMINGER, with
the report of the committee of education
thereon. This measure passed the House
by a large majority, but was defeated in the
Senate, for, it is reported, q want of time to
consider it maturely. The system, as set
forth in this bill, although not perfect, meets
with our warmest approval, and we trust will
eventually become law. The able efforts
of Mr.. MEMMINGER, in favor of this system
deserves, and we doubt not will receive the
hearty 'oell-done of every friend of popular
education.
The system now il operation, as Cen Nc
GowAN worry properly remarks, is not an en-
tire failure, but stands greatly in need of re-
formation. On every opportune occasion VIC
shall hasten its early enactment.
An act to "secure the purity of elections"
also appears, which is important.
