Like every-great discovery, it is only sstxnifhing that neither of us never tiiund it out before. It is a benevolent, ecor.o- inicvl, and most philantropic method ol enlightening the world, it is s method by which the curaplcte knowledge of the *ys- t -m of improvements in education, can bu fully and eff-ctiv.-ly diffused. A system, whiih, after eighteen years of tiie most xt--naive experience,lias jrruved its supe riority, by standing tiie-test of the most learned men uf several nations, and yet is still susceptible of highest improvements. even to much, as to render it a question how far it may meliorate the tonditiun t ie human race. A^.iio, if this discovery Ind b^eii mad *iv thee a few year* ago, thousands pounds sterling, which thou justly (not knowing this method) raised :u Britain fi admission to thy lectures, would have beet saved to the public. Now, according ( "Jr main principle, public economy, net ther thee nor me can again charge adinis sien money to our lectures, as it is clea -demonstrated by the new method a com plete kiibwledge of the system ran be in finitely belter circulated without leclunn at all. It is very evident that it either thee cr mu tell the prople, that we can tell th-im things in our lectures that We can not write, they wilt'only laugh at us.— Tuerefure, as oar-grand purpose is well known, viz. “to instruct the greatest num her in the shortest space of time., and with ‘he Uasl possible ejrjiense,"the new scheme uiJTid nut by me, and now proposed to the'-, cmbiaces the very object to tiie ut n<t extent, and it it |>uived to a demon s‘ra!;oo by our public profe-ssion, that-w can neither cliar-e. nor nuglit any ptr-i to pay, foi admission to our lectures in fu tore. I say we must, by this e.vtiaordi nary discovery, attest our principles tu be genuine. I'dou miyest say that, in Ilrit .in, th h id t-f I.-cit«re, because the people r.re 1 ther unable to pay for, or do not nI! re, tiie newspapers; but 'remember that "in this country the people ingt-io-ial can both l ead, and arc able to pay fur such jia pers: 60 that tha same necessity does not '-xiit here, by the happier state of thinss. But thou.kauwest that ill all countries the literati can read, and if they are cor,vin end of the excellency «f tiie system, it must be generally adopted. Before 2 dismiss this pleasing subject, let US consider the ease it will produce t' ourselves; what Jroubie and vexation it •nil save us;hoiv many miles of ocean we might never have seen; instead of remain- iug on <t for weeks, enduring sickness •tormydays. and dangerous nights; and on land, what fatigues? whereas w* mighi liavohecn sitting comfortably at our fire- side.-—but rejoice that we can even now sit down, and bv the new method benefit mankind a thousand fold!? Do not mr.»e thy excuse the warn- nTf 'fated tothomm-.nittee.“that he wesorvs .v me. Wr can comuiun-cat all our know- the pe v.01.5 who -iiade lineof these con trarts J->ne-; that.the stock n T-noFoaiTiojc SECoarn. If any defence against thy attack "ire satisfaction to my friends, and if i cm able t" sustam my fir-t proposition, 1 niton change my mind, respecting leaving this country so soon as I had intended; and a 1 my schools have been preferred So thy -etiools; or the schools propagated from hose of thypupUs,” (having made tlie above discovery,) I will endeavor to es tablish my model school in the city of Charleston, in which I will exert all my power to make it far superior to any I ever 1 st tbbshed. And as thou hast pub.iclv op posed me. I will not say ar.y inure,"that thou art my patron, but my rival! Now-, as it is well known what extraordinary good has resulted to the world fraur tl.y JUVALSKir with Dr. Bell, let us he actuat- -d by the same motives, hoping the same benefit will be the issue of our contest Thereby turning evil into good, or. m other words, turning our dispute to good account. * r Ihe meaning of the proposition is, “to emuioii, in well doing.''
