'■ itfis with no Ordinary feelings of piea
\ sure that we observe our Legislature so
zealously engaged an endeavoring to
1 promote the great work of Internal din-'
, provement. To that hotly it exclusively
belongs to give the \n-opex.impetus to-a 11
acts that will prove of durable benefit to
the state, and that will remain «tiiQ last
i ing monuments of its wisdrnn and patri
otism. The-enterprise of a few monied
!• individuals, may, for atvitite*- (as long as
their own interest is concerned) open 1
sources of wealth to a state, from facti
tious causes—they are, 'however, only
teinpofary. Such avenues arc generally
closed when they have subserved the in
dividual uses lor which they were open
ed. 'But-it rests with the Reprcsenta*
> the Body to aender the natural advan
tages of the country a permanent and
, common benefit, in such a manner that
tlicy may be enjoyed by a succeeding, as
. well as a present, generation.
Whilst engaged in the opening and
improving of our navigable water cours
cs, pother measures of internal improve
ment, U glads our hearts to see that our
r Legislature is not forgetful of a subject,
i winch, if carried into effect, will enrich
'• our State with a treasure more valuable
v than “ silver and gold”—a tßcusure
• which will bring down the blessings of
a grateful posterity. Need at be said,
! we aliudc to the contemplated establish
ment of Free Schools? 'The happy and
e substantial benefits resulting from insti
tutions of tltc kind, are so obvious so
. imposing—that they strike the mind at
!-• first sight with incontestibie evidences
s «f their virtue and eflicacy. If the con
<, slitution of Britain was administered in
n> the original purity of its spirit, Scotland
1 would shine a conspicuous star in (he
v horizon of the world! for there, if lie
• 'Will; th(s poorest countryman of Wal
i.ack can receive % liberal education
, -But, it is only HERE (in America, where
the rights of man are equally apprecia
ted, ) that the biessed cffects of sucli insti
tutions arc truly exemplified, in the sad
den rise to respectable opulence, which
1 the natives of that country goon attain
e to. And hence, of Scoi land it may be
r said with truth, that sjhe grants her sons
c , a blessing which they can onlyperfectly
enjoyc under the ’fostering auspices df
this free republic. Among others, still
1 more important, lifts is one of the bene
» ficial emanating from the
r beriign influence of education. We shall,
I therefore, hail with proud satisfaction
■ the establishment, in our State,, of Fret
* Schools, upon an enlarged and liherallv
! organized system. We hope our antici
pations may not prove fallacious.

of the state, are uutter the most -sacned
obligations to consult amd promote Die

» greater the pei*fection of the institdlion,
i and the stronger is the interest which
e binds together the various parts. A gen
