Education.

If our people would see the position
which they row occupy, it would, doubtless,
cause serious reflection. A casual obscrva-
ton will show, at once, that we are standing
in our own light. Thousands Of children
are growing up without book or school. IL.
norance is fearful enemy to free govern
mcnt. Some think an education is necessa-
~ for those only, who intend going into the
learned professions. This leads TO 3 great
mistake, for a great majority Of our youth
never expect to enter the professions. OF
the multitudes who enter them, few ever en-
eel. The change we so much need can new
er be brought about in this way. Nos. Of
ou- people will, Of necessity, be farmers.
Agriculture is a d~ignifed and time-honored
calling. But how much more 90 would edu-
cation make it? We often forget the farm
er in our great speculations." II We edu.
cate our children, then we may EXPECT an
enlightened and improved system Of tillIne
the land. Then ease and plenty would fol.
low carrying with theu a love Of literature.
Good schools are very desirable. How can
we sustain them when the people are opposed?
We must have an easier way Of living before
we can expect much in the way Of edieatiAu.
A good primary education is all that the
mass OF the people can expect. 10 this lies
the success Of all our enterprises. The time
IS at hand when men should go to work IN
earnest 10 the cause Of education. To idle
now is sinful No weapons 20 powerful, in
batt'ring down the barriers Of progress, a.
book and school. II is a good omen when il
can be said 'ths schoolqastsr is abroad 10
the land
We are great takers and little doors. This
IS also true in education. But Why not
change the saying, and be little takers and
great doors? We run wild oa " isms and
sscis' and therefore loose sight Of the great
issue. The individuality Of man for higher
higher christianity.

SIT Lux.

LET there be ligh:," The people must be
informed thoroughly upOn the great ques-
uons o! National policy, which are to be
decided by the canvass of next summer. The
issue of loyal rule and disloyal misrule must
be met in all its diversified ramifcations and
be permanently determined. It must be for
ever settled, whether "this government Of the
people, for the people. and by the people is
to continue q tower of strength for the weak,
a bulwark of security for the prosecuted,
ana an asylum Of freedom for the oppressed,
or defeated rebels and anarchists be again
restored to power, and dark, disgraceiul and
irretrievable ruin seal their administration
of crime and guilt, This is the broad rrouad
between the two great political parties Of the
country. The people are the arbiters. They
decide the conflict. The masses are honest,
and if correctly educated and brought to a
proper appreciation of the value OF the bless
ings they enjoy under a republican system Of
government, the safety Of the country is as
sured, through the success Of the Radical
party. The prospects of the Democracy
grow less in the proportion to the increasing
popular intelligence. This combination .:
p%olitica. absurdities can no more flourish un-
der a general diffusion of knowledge than
liberty can lavish its priceless bsnsiGctiOnS
in the deadly shadow of the bayouet. ia
order to effect this desirable contamination
we speak Of, the loyal press must be sIteL-
sively and remunerative!y patronizsd. Dis
seminate the living truths of our political
organization. Let our creed Sc known and
read by all men. Let light clear as the I'M
clouded splendor Of a meridian sun i.lumi-
nate every understanding. Then We will
hear no more Of a white mans and a negro
party. The prsjudices of caste and condition
will be forgotten and ignored. Then We will
have a government invulnerable in virtue, in
yincible in h%eroism, and based upon the in
tslligence Of its people will be as endurAble
as timO itself. PatroniEe and sustain the
Press. 1t is the Palladium Of justice, right
ana free government.

1t further charges that drinking is a
long standing vice with him, and since his
candidacy for President has become an alb

perhead calumny that he appeared on the

insane from the influence of liquor. These
imputations upon the moral character Of this
great and good man proceed from a partisan

could no longer be made, palliated Andy

hoods they will recoil upon their authors,
