SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1850. To the People of Georgia. Felloic Citizens —After consultation with sev eral gentlemen from different par sos the State, during the lute Fair of tho Southern Central .Ag ricultural Association held at Atlanta, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: “Resolved, That a Committee of five he ap pointed to prepare and publish an Address to the citizens of the {State generally, respectfully calling their attention to the importance of Common (school education, and of Nome united action for the advancement of that cause. “ Resolved , That the intercs sos this great cause call for united counsel and co operation of the entire Stue; and that for this end we earnest- i ly invite each county to take the subject into consideration, and to send Deleates to a Con vention to be hold at such time and place as the above committee, after consultation, may desig nate,for the purpose of maturing some practicable i system of common School education, to be pre sented to the next Legislature.” No subject more deeply concerns us as a State, than that presented in ti e above resolutions lu ail civilized conn tries,gem ral education is consi dered of vital importance. I*lnperly conducted, it lies at the foundation of all that is valuablein po litical and social relations of mankind; and as it is general, or limited, or thorough,or superficial, will the State rank in the scale of real greatness. The State of Georgia is rapidly udv slicing in j many respects, to the foremost place among her I sisters ofthe Sou h. Her natural advantages and. j resources are unsurpassed; and the enterprise and industry iher citizens are beginning to d/s --j velupe these resources und lo employ these ad» ; vantages. Her population is rapidly increasing; j and her capital begins 10 be argely invested in works of intenal improvement und commerce.— A laudable attention is beginning to lie directed to Agricultural and Artistic improvements, as is abundanily shown in lie increasing numbersvvho attend our great Agricul uial l air, and the inte rest taken in its ex hi bi ttons In past time,the ap peal in behuifof these various improvements has been restricted mainly to the mure wealthy and educated, bit now it is made toevery class of cit izens. All are now invoked,especially the farm ers and mechanics, to culi.-i in this common movement for elevating the Blate in all the ele ments of true greatness. It is to be feared,how. ! eve ,that ho most important means of realising I these desires and expectations is too much over. I looked. Before the people can be efficiently en listed in these enterprises, .hey must he enabled lo understand tin- nature and extent ofthe desin jed improvements,the means by which they are to j he accouipished,and the imerest vv Inch every citi i zeti has in tbe results In no ether ivay can a gen. j eral amt steady cu-coperutioii hesecuri-d Now : this is the business ol education, intellectual and i moral,i xtcndiiig to each class ot w bite population Georgia has recognized this truth from the | earliest days of tier existence as a Btate. Her first Constitution adopted in 1777, provides that i “Schools shall lie erected in each county, and supported at the general expense of the Sente.” The endowment ofthe Lot v ersili, and ol Conn ty Academies, and appropriations for common j and poor School , have followed al dilfcrenl pe riods in obedience lo his provision ol our first Constitution. And in addition to these provi sions by the State, private munificence lias fur nished the means of establishing many valuable institutions ot learning for hot Ii males ands. males But while these various institutions furnish a highly creditable provision lor academic learn ing in our Slate, all the attempts i>! our I.egis a ture to establish Common Schools have been singularly unsuccessful. Various schemes have bo, o adopted, and then abandoned its !nlur* s. So that after nil that Inis been expended, there is a bout'll!able deficiency ofgood Common Schools in the State. Tim means of a good common education are not furnished to the mass of our popula'iuii And vet such an education is the right ofevery citizen under our Constitution Tlie blessings deriv ed by all from our higher seni. i iiiii ics arc indeed groat,and we desire to see them cherished and sustained ; hut yet vastly more is due to the great body ofthe people who cannot avail themselves of these higher advan ages. 44 bat then is to he done ? Snail w e allow this sad sh ficicticy to continui ? Shall this gi< a.i st hindrance to the elevation of our State still exist? The failure ol our common school sy stems In re tofoie is mainly utlrilmtable lo 110 i e • i i.si s : 1 Tlmy have mu been adapteit in their details to the actual condition and vrni.t:. ot oi.r people. 2 There lias been no adequate supply ot well qualified eonimon School Ii .e he.s. 3. There lias been 100 little interest felt gene rally ill tbe subject itself. To remove these obstacles, and to put in ope ration some practicable and efficient plan cfgene ral education, is confessedly a work of great dif ficulty. This difficulty is felt especially in those portions of the State where the white popula tion is vety sparse. Bu! yet something must be dons, and we think the undertaking a practica ble one, if entered upon v tilt an eainesl zeal. During the Sessions of our Legislature there are so many exciting questions, and conflicting interests, that little time is left for the considera tion of this subject, about which so f* w feel any real concern. In addition to this, few of our Legislators have either the materials, or the thorough acquaintance with the subjec t itself, from which to digest any comprehensive plan of general education. Committees have several times fieeu appointed during tile recess of the Legislature, hut they have eititer failed to report or been unable losuggest any practicable scheme. Perhaps therefore mi suggestion promises belter results than tbe 2d resolution under which wo niiW write. If Delegates he sent from the several counties chosen with nference to this single matter we nun hope tor some good rest! 11 from ; heir uni. ted wisdom and Zeal. \\ e feel assured that the Legislature would not he hack ward to adopt the w i ll digested recommendations of such a body ; and in any event, the meeting and deliberations of such a Convention would tend to inspire new interest into the public mind on this subject. We therefore earnestly invite each County to take up the subject, and In send Tico Dc'cgntcs to a Convention to be held in t ho ( i y nf.Mucon, on the Second WEDNESDAY in DECEMBER Next, for Ihe purpose of taking intoeonsideration the whole question ofcommon school education. Delegates should go prepared with all the necessary statistical information ns to the area, number of children, number of schools, Ac. — The first Tuesday in November would probably be a suitable, day for the appointment of Dele, gates. Let all the friends of common education whether many or few, determine to act promptly in tins business, that every portion of the State may lake part in these de iberations for the common welfare. Nothing is more worthy of our prompt and earnest attention. Fellow Citizens : This is emphatically the cause of the People— that w hich tends to elevate and bless every one of our population. It deep!' concerns our advancement in all the elements of true greatness, physical, political, social, intellectual and mqral. And we are sure we utter the feeling of every true Georgian, when we sav, that in all these eliaiaeteristics of great ness we desire our Plate to stand unrivalled, not hy the depression of others, hut by raisii g her self to ' hat commanding position.
