IN. questions involved in the public free
school system under the new Constitution
,rarrlss our people more ihsnsp. other. BY
the provisions 81 the Constitutional requires
legislation to give practical effect aud
shape TO this proposed plan, aud by the
election OF proper representatives, many OF
III. evil, Of which the people are so aPpre
hcnpivs, in It's application, can DO success
fully guarded against. The Constitution
provides that the legislature may lay OIL
ia, State into convenient school districts,
and provide for u Board OF School Directors
In each District" IL requires the legisla-
iure 10 FIX the territorial limits Of these
districts. A large District woald require
salary raised by taxation for each Direc' |
tor. TO avoid this expense and also Tor
convenience, | would urge that each coun'
W compose a School District, and the mem
bors Of the Police Court be ~ oHeio the
Board Of Directors, with such perquisites,
II any, as the county might determine. !
This school system also provides that oil
the scholastic population within certain
ages, without regard to race or color shall
be forced to attend these Public Schools 81
least four msnths annually, with penal
~ upon the parent or guardian for failure,
unless they employ oempetsnt private
teachers. This provision is Objectionable,
but can hnvo no force without legislation,
would oppose any bill tending to give 1t
effect. Under this system the legislature
can force the white and colorsd children to
the same, or separate schools as that body |
may determine. would oppose any and
every measure compelling them to attend
the same school, and would use my utmost
energies and ability for the establishment
by legislative enactment, Of separate
schools for the races. 1t also provides that
one fourth the taxes annually collected
shall be applied 10 the school fund. The
enforcement Of this provision will compel
the increase of taxation to nm amount snt'
fcient to meet all the expenditures OF the
State government, after taking one fourth
thsrefrom for school purposes. This is too
great Q burthen upon our already impoV-
erisbed people, and especially so, when
the school fund without this tax, would be
ample to educate every child in tho State.
am in favor Of munifcent system Of
public FREQ schools, securing the benefits Of
education 10 all, without regard to race or
celor; yet, would have II based upon such
regulations, that while it protects all in
the enjoyment of this lberality Of tho
State, il would at the same time preventany
conflict between the races, and undue taxa
ton to maintain il. Believing the system
submitted would fail to accomplish these
ends, should be elected your Senator,
would introduce in the Legislature rcso-
luton to amend tho Constitution so as to
exclude the obnoxious features.
Tho declarations passed by the Conven.
ton 50 far MS they assume to be legislative
are unauthorized by the Reconstruction
Acts, and hence of no validity. These
measures were not canvassed before the
people, by the delegates to tho late Con-
yention. l would therefore oppose their
re-enactment. Those Of them, however,
that are founded in wisdom, and the good
Of tho public demands their enactment, ]
would fa7or.
In regard to Internal Improvement ]
would ever have q vigilant eye upon the
means of developing the vast and boundless
resources Of our rich and fertile country,
and to all enterprises tending to the accom-
plishment of that end, would give my
hearty and untiring support. In short,
would always guard with vigilsncs your
interests both local and otherwise, oppos
ing all unnecessary expenditures, and di.
rscting my energies to the lssssning Of
taxation as far a. possible.
Fellow citizens, these questions 10 which
/ have SO briefly alluded, are Of vast i'm
portance to us all, and it behooves US to
yield all personal preferences, and select
as Representatives those whom We believe
would make self consideration subordinate
to the good OF the people. Should you
