'■ 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.
