app al to the people OF the nation.

demands that onr public schools
shall not only be free TO all. but shall

Democratic Legislature of Maryland

duty Of Congress to submit such an
Inmendment 10 the Constitution oi
the United States as. when adopted,
will eiTeciually defend the Common
School system from all enepiies,
open or covert.
