The Governor’s Message we think as a whole, in able document, marked by an honest intention to correct whatever may be wrong in our government and laws. We diffirr from some of the views and recommendations set forth in the Message, but agree with most of them. We have not room for comment this week. State System of Common Schools. Is tkero an observing reflecting man in the State, who has oot seen, felt, and deplored the want of a lib eral and efficient system of Common School Educa tion, which, like the ran in the physical world, should shed intellectual light and knowledge upon every child of every citizen in the State, without reference to pecuniary condition 1 The necessity of general education to the preservation* of our system of Gov ernment is so generally understood and acknowl edged, as scarcely to require illustration. It fa ob- vious that sited has given man his supremacy over the other creatures and things of the earth, and his power is in the exact proportion to theproper tivation and development of the intellectual faculties.! The youth who grows up in ignorance is not only! incapable of appreciating and preserving his own! political rights, but fa liable to be imposed upon by tho designing, and made the instalment for subvert ing the rights of others. The citizens of a republic' who do not provide for the education of the rising! generation, are deliberately consigning their coun try and their descendants to despotism in some of its forms—ignorance and rational liberty are incompa tible with each other. We have collected the following facts from the U. S. Census of Georgia, taken in 1840, for the pur- 1 pose of showing to our Legislators and fellow-citi zens at one view, the cumulative ignorance, which seta like an incubus upon the prosperity of the State, and which, if not remedied by wise and liberal] Legislative provisions, has doomed us to comini the “ hewers of wood and drawers of water” for more enlightened States of the Union. According to tho census free white persons in Georgia, over the ago of 20 years, was 163,710, of this number 30,717, (nearly one fifth part) could neither read or. write. Tbo number of free white males and females over five years of age, and under tweniy years, was 162,400. The whole number of persons who were receiving instruction at Colleges, Academies, Grammar- schools, Primary and Common Schools, was 24,061, leaving nearly 6-7, or 138,339.
