Mr. Editor—Will you allow space in your paper to reply to the coniinuuication of Jwuge Collier in the Atlanta Sun of last Sunday, against the city voting $50,000, in twenty year bonds, to Oglethorpe Univer sity in consideration of an agreement to educate all the young men of Atlanta, free of charge. As Judge Collier signed the petition ask ing the City Council to make the contract, it haa occasioned some little surprise and somo critical comment, that he ahouid have gone back on his tcritUn endorsement. He states that he “signed it without reflection,” however, and frankly admits that “it looks a little awkward." Of course every liberal- minded person will grant that Judge Collier may change his mind on reflection. It is a privilege too sacred to be denied. Yet the mere fact of any one acting in the flrst instance, “without reflection," and having to change his mind upon reflection is obliged to create in the minds of impartial men a natural distrust in the judgment of the party so acting, which it is hard to overcome, unless this change of mind is the* result of good and substantial reasons not likely to have occurred to the mind at the first mention of the subject. All, therefore, that ths public care to inquire into, is the soundness of the reasons inducing the change, and whether or not they are such reasons as should have arisen in the mind at the time, without reflection. And it is altogether proper that the nature of the question itself should enter into this in quiry—whether it was a new question— Whether or not that question, or any simi lar questions, had ever been submitted to the mind before. It is, therefore, not out of place to recur to the fact diat a question similar, in many respects, had arisen, been discussed and acted upon by our City Council two years ago, which settles the fact that it was not a new question with our people. In that instance, a petition signed bv John II. James (our present Mayor) A. K. Keago, M. G. Dobbins, C. C. Hammock, P. A G. T. Dodd, WII Brotherton, McNaughtA Ormond, John Collier, and quite a number of other Influential citizens, was presented to the City Council asking that $50,000 be given to Mercer University, on condition that said University locate in Atlanta, and a resolution was passed by tbe City Coun cil agreeing to give the $50,000 to Mercer University as asked for in said petition, whenever an Act of the Legislature should be passed authorizing the same. It seems then that Judge Collier had tide same question, or one similar io many re acts, submitted to him two years ago, in ! petition for Meicer University, and that he signed that petition loo- The question, then, natmiMr arias* did JmV* sigi the llerosr petition also “ without re flection If so, this is a second instance in two years, of his acting on the same question “without reflection,” and it it but natural to inquire whether or not Judge Collier can be such a “wise anil safe coun sellor” as the Sun says he is, if he is in the habit of acting on imiiortunt question* “ without reflection V" That was a donation of $50,000, to be given to Mercer on condi tion of locating in Atlanta, without any ad vantages of free tuition. This is a contract to be entered into with Ogletbor|ie Univer sity for tbo collegiate education of ail the young men of Atlanta, iu which more than value rectixtd. is to be paid to the city. Yet Mr. Collier signed that, and backs out ol this! If it was not “ wrong in principle" for the City Council two years ago to have iven tills donation to Mercer University, _tow can it be “ wrong in principle" to make this contract with Oglethorpe University, and how can Judge Collier, or any others who signed the Mercer petition, be consis tent in favoring the one and opposing the other? I do not allude to tills point, save to mention incidentally how it is observed, and how it seems to strike the minds ol some in our community. I do not refer to it to criticise Judge Collier for acting twice “without reflection" at intervals of two years. I recognize his integrity and stand ing, and propose to discuss the matter with him fairly on its intrinsic merits. His flrst objection is that our present sys tem of Public Schools afford facilities for the education of all the children of the city that will fit and nuality them for the busl- iess and duties of life.” Does he not know that our present system of Public School* falls far short of uffording such an educa tion as lie has given and is now giving to his own children ? Why has ho sent his son otf to the State University at Athens, it he could receive here in our Public Schools an education that would fit and qualify him for the business and duties ot life V Will he contend that our Public Schools afford an education good enough for the masses, but not good enough for hi9 own children ? Docs he not know that a thor ough collegiate education fits a young man to take a higher position, and to compete* more successfully for tho poj-ts of honor and distinction in all professions and branches of business > Docs he not know that there are numliere of young men in Atlanta whose parents arc not able, as he is, to send their song off to college, at a cost of from $500 to $1,000 per annum for three or four years, who, if free tuition was af forded in a college here at home, would be able to get a collegiate education, and be better fitted to cope with the educated sons of wealthier men in the struggle for the posts of honor In the business and profes sional walks of life f Whenever the advan tages of a thorough collegiate education are placed within the reach of all, then, and not till then, will the sons of lioucst but humble parentage have a fair race with the sous of wealthy parents, for positions ot honor and trust—then, and not till thes, will the distinctions and barriers created by the accidents of birth and wealth be over come, and our people become more united In feelings and interests. Ills second objection is that Oglethorpe University is a sectarian College ! and says “ It would be unwise and iminditic to com pel one to pay for the sectarian training or education of another’s child, when he him self entertained different religious opin ions.” What arc the facts in reference to tills point? Oglethorpe University has been now nearly two years in operation in At lanta, and has lieen patronized by all Denominations. Has there been any com plaint on the part of the patrons that their children have been receiving “ sectarian training or education" t Would It have lieen possible for there to have lieen “ sec tarian training or education" without the student* finding it out? The petition to the City Council, in favor of the contract, was signed by some members of all the dif ferent Denominations of Christians in At lanta. Would members of all the different Denominations have Joined In «dd |*tltinn if the charge of” sectarian training or edu cation" could have been truthfully mode Itev. Tb**. M. Harris, Pastor of the Chris- Uan Church; and Hev. II. Hokum, of Lull*® rau Church ,and others. Would any one sup ]M)se for a moment that these Ministers of the Gospel of other Demoniualious would have signed the petition if there could have been auy serious objection to the City Council making the contract on account of tbe sectarian diaracter of the Institution? Is it not altogether probable that these twelve Ministers of other Denominations, who have made Theology the study of their lives, are In tter qualified than JudgBCollier to pass judgment upon matters of religion and queatious affecting the relations of dif ferent Churches to each oilier; and Is it not against the Iustitution ? Oruinly not. Twelve Miuisters of other Denominations signed the petiliou, among them, Rev. W P. Harrison, Pastor of Wesley Chapel, (Methodist); Rev. C. A. Evans, Pastor of Trinity Church, (Methodist); Rev. E. W. Warren, Pastor of the First Baptist Church; probable that these Divines, who stand as sentinels upon the watch-towers of other Denominations, would have sounded the tocsin of alarm if the dangers apprehended by Judge Collier were not the merest fan cies of the brain ? His third objection if, “ that the city, if the Council are so disposed, can not atlb to make a similar loan or donation to each of the other Denominations in the city If the $50,000 was to be given as a loan or donation, then there nuflht be some grounds for this objection, but there cannot be auy in this case, because the $50,000 is not to be given as a Joan or donation, but to be paid as a consideration for tho collegiate education of all the young men of AUauta. If auy other application ahouid lie made TELEGRAPH NEWS hereaher the G f ilv Council might v< ry well reply, we have already made provision lor the collegiate education of all the young of Atlanta who desire it, and pi it in advance, and there D m need toiuy pi twice for the same thine. No similar apnl cation can be made, with hujriint poof lion of success, because this contract covers tbe collegiate education of all the young men, and there are none left out, for another col lege to propose tb oduoate. Suppose after suitable buildings have been erected in each Ward, and teachers provided, affording ample accommodations to teach all the children iu Atlanta In the Public Schools, a proposition should be made by some over zealous friend of education for the City Council to expend an equal amount of money in the erection of other similar buildings in all the Wards and the employ ment of another corps of tcachcra, to teach the same children tho same course of studies already provided for in the Public Schools then established, would such a proposition be entertained for a moment ? Would it not be replied that we have Public Schools for all the children already, and don’t need a second supply of the same system of Public Schools ? And could not a similar reply iu substance be made if any other College hereafter proposed to give free collegiate education to the young men of the city for $50,000, on the same terms pro posed by Oglethorpe University ? If, how ever, it were a donation, then a precedent might be established, and similar donations be asked for other denominations, but this lieing a contract for value received, comes undur the rules and principles of business, and no one need apprehend any such diffi culty. His fourth and last objection is that the $50,000 asked for “ would not put tho Col lege upon its feet, so that it could stand.” Of course, no one ever contended .that the $50,(XX) asked for would put up buildings aud pay the salaries of-Professors, and oth- Bjr the New York .Associated Press. THE CAMPAIGN. PLATFORM OF THR KMK-HTONE DEMOCRACY, Reading, Pa., Juni 1.—The following are the resolutions adopted by the State Democratic Convention; Resolved, That the Democratic party, while in the future, sarin the past, firmly upholding tboCouatititiou of the United States, us tho foundation sod limitation of tho powers of the General Govern ment and thojftfe of the hhertien of the people, demands for the citizens tbe hipest freedom oqpaistent with pub lic order, and for every State tbo right of self-government; that to uphold the former and protect the latter, the De- mocracy of Peunsyl&ua can find no better platform upom whioh to stand, than the great leadil|: principles enu merated in the iaauwural address of President JcfferaoR VMd the Jkrewell id- ih.fc* ot tho immortal Jackson.- Upon these two great State papers we plant ourselves and enter the contest of 1872. Resolred, That, aboifd as the public confiSflendb has been, by a long period of mismanagement, waste and fraud, this Convention iuvokes the co-operation of all citizens of the Ooamtonwealth, in the earnest effort, which the gieat constitu- enoe it represents is ^out to make, to remove from our Stan administration, every tail t of political corruption. The interest of every Pennsylvania, is dirootly and vitally Eoncerued in the eradiotiou of all unfipt and useises practices by which inulviduaf fortunes may be created at the public costs, aud the attempt to do this, cau be made certainly successful by Die union of the upright and fair-minded man of all par ties, and by sustaining candidates of un questioned abilities aud unspotted name?. Resolved, That this Convention appeals to the people of Penn$ylvsnia for the support of the candidate for Governor, whom it has placed i% nomination, be cause liis eleotiou will sSoore, at ones, a correction of existing wrongs and tbe permanent future piospprity of the State. It asks, for bim, support, because be has been nominated,not to subserve the views or promote the interests of any caucus or faction, but to meet the'requirements of urgent and common need; because ho fully represents, and in bis life and char aoter fairly illustrates, tho true spirit and principles of popular government; because he bos been an earnest, sinoero and efficient opponent of the fraudulent practices aud false doctrines of the party that lias held power, through mnuy long years of misrepresentation; because he stands pledged, by thj^reoqid jof bis lege. * i no present college buildings and grounds, and other assets, are worth at least $35,000 or $30,000, and two or three different eligible sites, with large ground*, in different sections of tbe city, have been offered by different purtics, and inducements bold out to secure tbo location of the Col lege iu their respective localities; and no doubt the donation of a Bite, with a consid erable conditional subscription, can be se cured from parties who may own property contiguous to any site which may lie select ed, which would be some help towards en dowing tho institution. The Trustees pro pose to have this and adjoining States can vassed to raise an endowment, and if the people of Atlanta vote the $50,000 asked for, there will lie no great difficulty in rais ing a sufficient endowment from the friends of the institution to sustain it. The Trus tees fbcl so confident of being able to endow it that they have agreed to aisneso of their present buildings and grounds, procure a new site with larger grounds, and expend tho $50,000 asked for in the erection of buildings, and give a mortgage on tho same to secure the return of the $50,000 to the City Council nt the end of five years, if within that time they do not raise $50,000 endowment. This proposition on the part of the Trustees looks liko business, and the security they otler is ample to secure the city from loss, if they fall to carry out their Ians successfully, so that there is no possl- ility of the city’s losing anything by the -xperiment, while very great advantages will be gahied If successful. Is not the se curing tree collegiate education to all the young men of Atlanta for all time to come a sufficient inducement, in the opinion of Judge Collier, for the city of Atlanta to risk the experiment of paying $50,000 towards so great an object, especially when such ample security U given to secure the roturn of the $50,000 in the event his predictions of failure prove to be correct ? The City Council of Macon with less thau half the population of Atlanta, donated $125,000 iu City Bonds and $25,000 in lands to Mercer University, another so-callod sec tarian College, to locate in Macon, without requiring free tuition to be given to any of the young men of tho^ity ; and will the city of Atlanta, the “Chicago of the South," famed for progrees, enterprise and liberality, fall so for behind Macon in this respect as to reftisc to give $50,000 to Oglethorpe for the free tuition of all her sons in a flrst class College? I will not belcive that the active, enterprising, Intelligent thinking men of Atlanta will allow such a stain to be stamped upon the fair name of our grow ing city. Shall It be said that we arc so hide-bound, contracted, narrow-minded in in our religious sentiments as to vote against Uiis contract on account of sectarian prqfu- dice against a Denominational College? This would bo the veriest religious intol erance ! filial! it be said that we arc so pe nurious as to vote against this contract be cause we are unwilling to pay an additional annual tax of throe cents on every hundred dollars’ worth of property to have free col legiatc education given to all the young men of the city ? I appeal to the intelli gent meclianics and laborers, to the enter- prising merchants aud tradesmen, and to the friends of education of all classes, to turn out and vote “ For the Contract," and secure lor our chiklren, and children’s chil dren, the blessings of a thorough collegiate education for all time to come. Ws will then be able to offer in Atlanta the best fa cilities for free education of any city in the United 8late*, which will induce hundreds of families to move to Atlanta to educate tiieir children, thereby gilding to llic popu lation, wealth and proq>crity of our city.
