and honest criticism.
If there is one reason above all
others that leads us to condemn the
use of Johnston’s history as a text
book in the University of Georgia it
is this:
It is a fact that it is used in nearly
all of the colleges in the North, and
the recommendations accompanying
it ara all from Northern pens.
What does that fact signify ? I
signifies that the people of the North
are willing to go to the country on
the doctrine taught by that book. It
means that they are willing and anx
ious that their sons should be taught
that doctrine. It means that they
are satisfied with its utterances in
regard to slavery and secession and
the Confederacy, and endorse its
teachings.
Massachusetts aud Maine and
Michigan are well satisfied with it

willing to tolerate in her University

We feel tbat we have reason to
complain that the Chronicle has per
verted (innocently, of coarse,) the
spirit of our utterances. The editor
of the Chronicle is a trustee of the
University, and so with utter rever
ence and respect for him as such
and genuine admiration for him ale
ways as an editor, we are suie be is
in a position of all others to appre
date the stand The Banner has ta
ken in this matter.
No one knows better than himself
the duties of citizenship that fall to
a man whose living - is earned iu the
editorial room and at the desk. No
one has better fulfilled those duties
than he has done. It may gratify
him somewhat to kGow that we feel
a prompting to keep steadily in view
for emulation many of his well won
victories in our mutual humble
sphere of labor. We beg Edilor Sto
vail to*reuder us such fairneta in this
matter as we have rendered every
member of tbe faculty, and when he
does this we will proceed with the
knowledge tbat he is no less friend
ly to us than several members of the
faculty who think precisely as we do
about this book, and who have no
hesitated to say so.
The Chronicle goes further to say
