Art* tlie Whites 0])|i»s«al to (h<* Education ol’ the Bine it n, and Why? Eiiitohs Tlmks and Planter: — From the sphere of our ow n obser¬ vation, which is eon lined chiefly to tins middle and lower ranks of socie¬ ty, we are led to the conclusion that a majority of the wlule race in this immediate section of the State arc opposed to the plan of dispensing even a liberal education to the frccd mon among us. The objection most generally urged by ome to educating the ne¬ groes under the frec-seliool system is, that the colored children will llius be receiving a greater amount of the benefit of the school fund, while the whites, who are the prop¬ erty holders, will be forced to pay by taxation almost the entire sum to keep np this fund, lint, notwith¬ standing this may be true in part, while we have them with us,—and there is not the remotest probability of getting rid of them soon,—at any rule let us contribute to their mental and moral training, imitating the example of the kind lady on the railway coach, who being requested by a heartless prostitute mother to hold her bundle a moment till she Yvent to the rear to get a drink of water but never returned, upon open¬ ing the package and finding it to contain a living infant, for lnunnm ty *s sake could do nothing else than take the little foundling to her home and provide for it. Still another party, no less mtmor uU '’ lor "' h being ' ; opposed " lUil Hie !’ y y. to open ing of schools for ti c blacks: they contend that the i gricuRural inter est will sutler by ii. and, if educated, ’ toe to,-. \\ -nl. . in-:-, i 1 .icconic more -(•lent and jealou- of their J'eti! ion right a guaranteed to them under the late unwarranted amendments to the Federal <’destitution. ihi knowing that He* tiegroe i now libi rated, and it being perfect him again. let 11 " '' *’ ,. .. objection,- n. on : edie atin • them and coiisumomie the pkyi already l,e .it;i fill* 1 hi purpo-e. and at no distant , . day ! 1 ,, • *dl ,, tv diiess the , •.'•lorii.tis 1 •; ! . tollov .e : tiiere from: the late lave, ciii.aucip.alcd from hi i mi Mi.-cau ap-r. lithm. 1,1 , „ I,: II( ..|): ' u '' '*• ' '• ut/tug and admit ting his Rig : oriiy to tie* white man, i laiiiaiahlc rl !,ts '..f protection 1 of person and , ; • petty tight . yvIii .
