are opposed TO education because II the
people can he educated, Democracy wilt

plain Haglish means aessrdlag TO Radical

Ths if,sey eau 90 mAnsge, the State
government a. TO baNtruf, ,hs real Peo'
pie Of Texas by iAssiisu, sue-, pains and
penalties, and compel them 10 sell their
property aud rapidly descend on the road
to poverty and pauperismi-if they can, al
tho sane time, by odious and tyrannieal
laws aud regulations, so disgust the white
people AS TO prevent them sending their
children 10 these Radical false.named free
schools, either with or without negro chill
ircn; or by n eunningly devise | oath 10 be
interpreted by themselves, prevent South
rrn white gentlemen or ladies' from teach
ing. anil thereby enable them rs import
, Radical teachers, both black and white,
from the North,-ani IT, by such means,
they can keep the great wass ofour white
children in ignorance, nnd inject their SUI
prrhcial, mental poison into all negro chill.
drcn aud such whites rs they can control,
then, and in that case, reason these
usurping rulers Democracy mill b, doemcdi
and here for once, VIC agree with them.
No hcucs' man, Invested Of partisan ma
Lightly, and capable Of tracing cause md
asces, can examine this whole subject-the
double School Tax Laws, the school law
ITSELF and the regulations Of tho State
Board, coupled with all the appointments
being made by the Govern or, to carry the
scheme u,,-cnn arrive at any other Goa
| clusion.
Nov to history, Ear back in Texas, doubt
less before II. l.. Il. and many Of the prom
inent actors in this conspiracy against the
God.givsn right Of parents 10 train up
their own children, had begun or ceased
! TO crawl around their nothers knees, the
slSvc-holding, Democratic Republic OF
Te1as-poor, weak and almost frienilcss
made munihcrnt endewments Of land to
| aid in the education Of children TO COME
after the then struggling generation,-
Those enaowmcnts remain to-day, an eter-
nal monument to the fAr.seeing wisdom
and Statcsmsnship Of the fathers Of Texas.
- -h;fa and
whelmingly democratic, the m0men, her
honost revolutionary debt was pail, set
apart all available resources from time to
time, to lay erosd and deep the foundn-
tons Of "a system Of common schools, to
grow with tn. population, and ultimately
to reach eveey neighborhood; but never,
no never, to interfere with the Heaven or
dnincI right Of parents to educate their
children wherever and however they pre-
Tered. This system was in successful op-
GRAFTON before the war, when our Cover
nors and Legislators were freely and fair
ly elected, by free people, unawsd by U.
s. soldiers, State militia or an armed stale
Police and whom no one ever dreamed of
the voice OF the people being outraged by
q false or fraudulent count Of votes. All
the white people Of Texas stand to-day, as
they stood then, in favor Of thel same or
any other reasonable and just system of
common school education. by the white
people in tn is sense is meant all who are
in favor Of q straight out, honestly admin
istcred, constitutional State Government,
-nineteen-twcntieth Of whom, ms issues
now stand, are Democrats, no matter to
what party they belonged Jcforr or during
the war. The some class are anxious to
deal Justly and kindly with the black peo-
ple, their former slaves-to see them grad
unlly, as our resources permit, taught the
practical branches of common school edu-
cation, and especially to read and under
stand Arithmetic, that they may protect
themselves against the villainous tricks
Iractised upon them by white knaves and
impostcrs, who pass TO and fro in the
country, living upon what they dishonest
ly get from the poors negroes, under so
many dcceitiul pretences of friendship for
them. But the white people will sustain
no system Of schools which, under any dis
guise, shall place white and negro children
in the same school. Two things lead to
this resolve first the fat Of Jehovah in
the organic distinction between the white
aud the black race; and secondly, the
overwhelming conviction that it is only
attempted by the Radicals now uujustly in
power, for the purpose Of triuD,ph!ng over
and humilisting the white people Of the
State.
We again refer to history. The Radi- |
csls-Dsvis aud bis pc nsioued press, sub
sisting upon money vrung from the white
p.cple-constsntly repeat, that the demo-
crst. Of Texas and the Union, are opposed |
10 education. We assert that the common |
school system Of Maine, New Hampshire,
New York, PenDsylvsnis,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Mise
puri. lava, Wisconsin, and several other |
,t,tes, we're founded and for years carried
IN. while those states were Democrstie.-
rbe founder Of the system in Michigan,
the best in the Union, was Ste
ph.n. 7. Mason, . Virginia Democrat, sp-
painted Governor Oftbe then territory by
President Andrew Jackson, vbO,- in his
las. vas considered the head Of the Demo
ratio parry.
