COMMON SCHOOLS.
Governor Campbell, ut Virginia,

bl remark, on this subject, in hi.
The report of the Second Auditor
on the state of the Literary Fund, and
the condition of the Common School,
will be laid before you, $i from it you
will See the progress made -and inak
ing in the general system of education.
The success attending the education
oi poor children, in highly, gratifying,,
and it is reputable to the country, that
this subject is attracting moregeTierkl
attention; for certainly in whatever
aspect we view it, there is none more
important. An enlightened Legis
lature will not in the iteriormance of
their duties in the great work, halt at
the threshhold.
That is now the position we occupy.
In other countries, nn( possessed of
our ample means, their governments

case in the Prussia, and several other
of the German States. New York has
her system in full operation, and ia
doing well. Why, allow roc to ask,
have we failed to'make provision for a
general sjatern of common school? Is
. nv-aU'7u( mJUilua 4bat white
one of our fundamental canons de
clares "That alt power is vested in and
consequently tlenvt'd Irotn the peo
ple, there should b thousands or that
very people incapable of either reading
or writing? Yet such is the humiliat
ing fact
- .It wa..certainlymost praiseworthy,
in the General Assembly that originat
ed it, to project the plan providing
for the education of the poor. The
portion ol the Literary fund applied
to their education for the year ending
the SOth of September, 1837, amount
ed to 84,177 85. This is now more
than can be prudently applied to that
linele object. AVhat then ought to
be done with, the increasing revenue
of that fund? The question, I-hum-
bjy. submit, may be promptly and
satisfactorily , answered. . Apply " the
surplus to the endowment, of com
mon school throughout nfe whole

dreTr of the watryISt;the;;pp,!e:f

ple. By endowing and promoting
them, every Citizen i. provided in hi.
neighbourhood, or at, ins uoor wiin
a sthool for the education of hia chil
drena school where that class of
children may be educated, to whom
in a lew years, the deitinies of the
country are to be committed.
Rlany of our most respectable citi
zens, and not a Jew oi inoe who
tlireit our public councils, obtained
their education, not within the lulls
of a college, but in achoo!. of much
humblrr ! prelentMonfc" Their mean,
being inadequate to the expense, of a
college, they acquired at the "common
schools the element, oft solid educa
tion nd byheir subsequent well "di
recled efforts; have nobly qualifiVd
themselves for all the duties of public
and private lite. To me it seems all
important J. that effective,, ineaure's
should be taken to place the system of
common schools upon -a RNitwg com
mensurate with the want, of the pub
lic and the oblig&tion. ot the govern'
raent and I respectfully submit it to

led to the late duel between George

be but one opinion- on the subject
and that is that the duel wa. wholly
unnecessarythat Mr. Dugger'a ex"

refusal to receive those explanations
evinced a blood-thirsty & revengeful

fallen. ; We would respestfully ask if
