Knavery OF FolIy-which is IL:

Knnvery OF FOlIy-which is IL?
The Journal, in its editorial columns, has
the following. 1t is hard to determine
whether knavery or folly produced it, both
being so happily blended. The most stolid
ignorance is shown in its statements, while
arrant knavery is shown in its every line: ::
"We do not appeal to the Democracy for
aid in advancing the cause of general edu-
cation, as it is a well known fact that that
party is not generally in favor of higher
degree of intelligence among the masses,
which would prove its inevitable over
throw. A party that for generations, in
one-half of the country, made it q crime to
teach men to read, cannot be relied on very
confidently to support system that aims
at the education of all men, nor can we ex-
pect their assistance in any measures for
the improvement of that system"
Loathing contempt is but mild express
sion to characterize statement, such as
that above given from the Journal. Its
venomous falsehood entities it to one more
severe-that OF the most arrant scoundrel-
ism!
The present school law of Ohio, ntil 1t
was tampered with by ignorant Legisla-
tors, stood acknowledged the best in the
Union. 1t was drafted by Democratic
Senator-Hon. HARVEY RICE. of Cleveland.
and reported by a committee-Messrs
RICE, of Cuyahoga, REX of Wayne, and
CUSHING, of Gallia, the two first then, as
now, Democrats, and the latter then a
Wing, but now Democrat. The Legisla-
ture that passed 1.-THE first under the new
Constitution-was largely Democratic in
both branches, and we state as a fact, of
which we have personal knowledge, that no
man of the present Republican party, or
who ever belonged to it, In the Legislature
or out of it, had anything to do with get
ting it up. If any of them voted for it,
their votes were not necessary, as every
Democrat, in both Houses of the Legisla-
ture, if our memory serves us, voted for
and aided to pass it into law.
