Mr.. GRIMES rep, Iowal called up the bill to

| Mr.. CARLILE (Un., VAL wished to know II
these negroes could not be educated without an act
of incorporation. In his State they educated white
children without any such act Of Congress. Indeed,
he saw no reason for the Government to 60 into this
business OF educating these persons any way. He
/ took the ground that as the President had coupled
colonization with bis emancipation scheme, IL the
negro was to remain in this country be could only
remain in a subordinate capacity as slave, and a
legislative BODY had no right 10 educate children Of
~ tarHh ha IN
those who were to take part in the government
and he trusted had not reached that point Where
IL WAS proposed to elevate the negro to the condi-
ton OF a voter and one OF the governors OF the
country.
Mr.. GRIMES said the very crude MOTORS of the
Senator from Virginia tho subject of education
exclaimed some things which might not olherwlse he
understood. 1t might be the ltn in the Senator Z
section no. TO educate any one-0nly those who
were to take part in governing the nation. Bot he
thanked God that he cane from section where they
en,ertaiued diiic cut .eds the subject OF educa
ton. aud where nobler aud lofier sentiments pre-
vailed; where they believed that every man should
/ be taught ~ read the Laws by woch he was To be
/ governed, and 10 read the Word OF God They did
not entertain any such low AID gEoveling ideas on
/ The subject Of educaiion.
| Mr. MORRILL, (Rep., Mel SAID he was ns'on
.hcd to hear the objections against TINS BILL aad
that a Senator from Virginia should get mp and
make an argument against popular educ itio Great
| God mad it come Ia the point that at this day q
Senator OF the United States made AN argument
against popular education when every civilized ma
ton in the world had given It their serious attention
8 nd deemed IL of the highest Importance lie came
from a section where they educated all childreni
and II New Englan had anything to boast of il
was her system of public instruction, which gave
every child, whether high or low born, fair chance
IN lie.
State had ever incorporated companies for the educa-
tion Of olored children

aystem which educated every child without refer
