Believing it important to tbe beat interest of tbe State, that every citisen should receive a Common Softool education, this Convention, composed of Delegates from a largo majority of iba counties in Gcocgia, af ter mature deliberation, adopts the followier Pream ble and Resolutions, to be wbmitted to the Legisla ture i The Convention ia folly convinced that the etdaena of the State desire tbe establishment of a system of Com men Schools, which will afford the •pportnnity to all the children of the Stete, to acquire rack aa ed ocatioo aa will fit them to become u.ieiul members of society. Tbe convention is also isonvineed that a large and increasing number of children urn growing up destitute of this education, and that such ia the particular chi racier of our populat ion, that unless provision is made by the Legislature, this desirable object will never be secured. Tbe Convention considers it as m aeh the right of (be poor to be educated, as of tbe rie! > to be protected in the possession of his property ; end if tbe poor man bn under obligation at the call of his country to risk his life sad to pour out bis blood ia deienee of (boss institutions, which secure to the rich man his dearest rights aad moat valued poaaenriooa—tine rich axon is under obligations to contribute of his wealth, to give the children of bis defender an education, which will suable them to read the charter of their liberties; an education which wilt edtbfe them to rend the char ter of their sal ration—so education which will enable them, by industry, to rise iu society, and to take that social position which oar Republican iartkatioas gua rantee to all. The Convention, moicover, ia felly convinced that it ia tha highest inunrastof the Stete to sscore to every citinen a Common School cdocaAm, that the infoly and stability of the com men wealth, depend open the general eelightennenl es iu iahabi rants, nod that the a mount paid by the Bute for the p urpoees of educa tion in nit itt deportment/, will be more then refun ded ia the saving of expenses ia the administration of justice, and ia tha increase es wanlth and revenue, which will accrue from U. The Oanvcntkn ie twain of the grant difficulties in the way es the fall eocoraplfehorant of a plan of ani- T srsal Common Seheol education fe Georgia, ll fe 'I conceded ihat some of opr fellow citixens M Qated, that the edvanugta of education cannot ha «, (ended to them, without effort and without rat ad. ditional expenditure. Bat the Convection that it ia the important object of Government to ael core to the citizen the advantages, which ha obtain, without the aid of Government, and **>»» (ha State ia under aa much obligation, to call upon the citiaaoa of the more fovored portions of her territory, to send the light of knowledge to the children in the moontam cores, or scattered over pine barrens, as •he is to eall her hardy mountaineers, or her patri otic boos of the seaboard, to leave children nad bosses, in the defence of bar frontiers. And the Convention ia convinced that tha dificolties, which have baaa •upp_ sd to cxiaft, in adapting a universal system of Com .non gchculs to the Slate, are hr leas than is supposed by many. The Contention cannot doubt that tha State may be laid off into districts, so arranged,that a Schc si cast be maintained during a portion of the year ia seek. It is fully porsoaded that a system can ha pAftyd, which will apply to the lees fa to red, as wall aa to tha mor<3 favored portions of the State, and that tha ax. penae attending its adoption will not ha so formidable as many now apprahend.
