I,JUII1JJU r- - WILMINGTON, N. C. ,MAY 14, 1871. , Educate the. People. In contradiction to the Journa l fallacy 'that "tittle' learning is a dangerous thing," j I wo uphold that ALL learning is t?opd, and i: I he is lo better than a fool who attempts to i tp teach in this age and country that edu K cation shtuld.be restricted to a prnrileged ' 1 class. Yet the organ of the sham democra I cy does this, and in its issue,of May 2d ib- : I lishes the followidg1 insult to every working man: i jij'V f' To inslrnct t people in the rudiments of i ; education is to gire them an appetite which ; they did not hato before. But before dc - ; -ciding whether the result will ; be good or T evil, it Ts necessary to know upon what food s f this Appetite is to be Satiated, To take an . "untutored savase and "to awake in him a " desire for clean ami cooked food, instead of raw flesh, v snakes i and lizards, may have a civilizing influence upon him. But to kin dle in him a craving for ardent spirits un known to him before, is to reduce him be low his already degraded level. Thus, working men of Wilmiigton, the F "rudiments ot education," which is all you . can give your children, is to be like" ardent " spirits upon the "untutored - savage." You ,'" are not to educate your children because, as .the Journal says, in the same article: " The fact that a little learning is a dan gerous thing us strikingly illustrated by the state of affairs in France and in Paris. The workman f the cities is generally more cultivated in some respects, than tna rural laborer. While the latter is often ignorant of the simplest rudiments of primary edu cation, the former is very generally able to read. . Now if the populace thus deluded and degraded, were as ignorant, as the peasan'S of the Provinces, these pestilential sheets could not reach and corrupt them. The lit le learning that they possess is a curse to them and to society,; because after having acquired it they turn it to a bad use. : Pray who shall judge whether thc-"work-men in the cities" shall read good or bad literature; whether he shall prefer the Bible or his Post to a Journal. Who made the editor of the Journal a censor over tlie m asses of mankind, and "if so, how much? We have always thought from reading holy writ and listening to the wisdom of I the ages, that riches corrupted, and honest labor made and virtuous a people. Our Journal friend thinks diflsrently. He would make the rich richer, and the -poor poorer. He believes , in "myself and ' family," and the d 1 take all others wlio.on the earth may dwell. We are for others shareing the blessings of this life, and foremost among these blessings we count education, for "knowledge is power," and, we desire every American to be as powerful as any other no more, no less. Wc do not believe with J the Journal that: - If-the masses of the Northern people had not been so generally able to read and write, they would not have been so ready to im bibe the pernicious doctrines t abolition fanatics; while on the :Otber side, if they wliliBgness to bear just restraint; uncom had possessed more true learning, they Kin Uh tiMo Win., w. would have been able to detect and reject these doctrines; ana tne government estau- lisueu PTOur imuera nuuiu buu lcuiam what 13 no more, a fit object for the admi ration of mankind. We believe that, had the "masses of the ITortkm people" bderi less 'able to read" they -would have, been ready to accept secession teachings,' and to-day not a vestige of the creat American Republic iwould have been left. Through the centuries the petty Re publics or States ot. North America would have followed ths footsteps of those of South:. America, and blood would continue to flow, at every turn of the political barom eter AbroadAmericans would have no rights that the minions ot despotism would have been bound to respect, instead or a ' great centralized "power" the first in tUe world, America would be bat a curse to civilization and a spectacle to God and man It is a fact that ' the "masses of the Northern people" werefso intelligent that they could not be deluded into permitting universal anarchy instead of universal liber- 4 tmrrkmA ivnvnrnmanf Tt- xmrnm lotecQi An -and not the South, the "masses of the North ern people" fought, and this is what trou bles men of the Journal class. Could the poor bovs who sleep in bloody suroutfs all over these Soathern States arise they would dc clare for education among the Southern masses sufficient to detect the fallacies of secession leaders, and when 'unholy hands were lifted to bless a cause rightfully "lost," or unholy and traitor voices raised to sacnti- fy secession on the graves of its victims, ghostly arms would paralyze the one, and still the other forever. ' The editor of the Vicksburjr Times no- ticing the fact that Augusta, Ueorgia, runs an extensive cotton factory, appeals to the enterprise and patriotism of the citizens of Vicksbnrg to profit . by the example and start a similar undertaking. This is in the proper spirit. Just so soon as the South forgets its animosity to tho'Yankee?," and emulates the industry of its Northern broth ers, will, the real wealth of that part ot our country be made manifest. There is no possible reason why the Southern people should not have their iron foundries and .cotton mills in as great numbers as those further North; aid if they have not learned this before now it is their own 'fault.' .With a land rich and fertile as any in the world, and undeveloped- mineral resources in vast quantities, the South may, if she chooses," soon rival any part of the world, and divert much of the Immigration that nowj finds its way "West.

If 1 I and that the verv tradition of liberty was lost. This is true, and yet a certain kind of resistance to government was carried on upon a vast sca'e, with unalterable resolu tion with saceess. Te edict Of Diocletian commanding tae Christians tor sacrifice was resisted thioushout the Empire: the resis- tance was maintained for seven years, until pedient or profitable. Yet this is the- atti Diocletian's successor succumbed to it. tuxle ot the asebfTraian. Tacitus maked Atbanasius resisted Consantine, and Con etantatius successfully. Ambrose not msre- Iv resisted, but rebuked and humbled Theo- dosius. This new spirit had indeed ap- pewed m the empire before the age of the A nf Aint A lv i iva Vi a r) v a rv m v Ir a 1 w 1 ( li ... t,Ift HMrt, cniritM of a class of his subjects, but in his time the phenomenon, thougk trikinsr, was not yet formidable; It became formidable early in the revolution ary. period; and at the accession ot Diocle tian this party spirit, had spread so widely, organiztd itself so well, and rehearsed its part so carefully, that it proved irresitable. This party spirit in the Empire achieved deeds cs memorable as had been achieved by liberty in tho Republic Yet it was not lib erty. Liberty is a proud spirit; it regards government as a mere instrument of hu- man happiness, and resists it when it be- comes evidently prejudicial ,te happiness. J Liberty flashes oat against the government that murders innocent men and dishonors women. Liberty is force of character roused by the sense of wrong. It is coa- o5ctnf in rfcrl with . m. tpnti nt Antxr arid . ... f u mrA Mrn mVitA with mrhn. 12nca and,imtiatience of discipline. Such bad been liberty in the old Republic, the rebellion of strons: inints against laws strained too far, self assertion, sturdiness, combativeness. Such was not the Christian spirit. ; In thrr whtn if was genuine there was no rebellion, there was no assrtin of right. Those who practiced it were not less obedient. , but more obedient than others, They had no turn for liberty; they had no quarrel wun ine uespousm oi ine vsesare; this they met, not in the spirit of Brutus or Virginius, but with religious resignation, The truth was, they were under two despa- tisms while others were under only one. They were not satisfied with submitting to the UaJ3ar who assuredly did not "bear the theswordin vain;" they endeavored to obey the law of Utarist also. Ihey, bore the double burden with all patience. Those were not the times for free spHts to flourish in. In the sold'er-riddeniErapire there was ne atmosphere of hope in which a spark of independence could live, or a breath of free heroism be drawn. The Christian resist ance to authority was : indeed more than heroic, but it was not hero'c. lit rose from no impatience of restraint, but from a con flict of laws. The law of Christ carried it over the law of Ce3ar. The spiritual sov- ereign prevailed over the temporal: Obedi- pe; and that they could have been quickly ience was d riven but b obedience, and obste A f rom power and place, it the class of loyalty to JojaUy.TLerefore, saving , the Southern :;men, of wUieh Orr is a sample law of Christ, the Chniaus were the most hadracted with the same moderation and loyal of the Emperor's subjec's,' and Chris- wisdom that lie has. Therefore the truth tianitv confirma as muehr it controlled is obvious, as has been after charged that despotism. It produced a completetihaBge the1 leading men in the South coald' stop in the attitude of the people to . the Empe- the trouble there if they pleased That ror. xi iuau iuch iwjaity mure intense, but confined it within definite limits.5 It strengthened in them the feeling of submis sive reverence for government - as such; it encouraged the disposition of the time to political passiyeness. It was intensely con servative, and gave to power with one band as much as it took away with the" othar. Constantine, il he was influenced, by policy, rtraa 'infllltnotd . ft Wist ' nAliTl-ir ttm tended nis patronage to the Church; Bv doing so he may be said to have purchased an indefeasible title. by a charter. ; He gave certain liberties; ana ne received in return passive obedience.' He gained a, sanction for the Oriental theory of goternment ; in return he accepted the law of the Chorch. He became irresponsible with, respect to his subjects on ' condition of becoming re sponsible to Christ. ' ? ' The difference, then, between the later series ot Etaperors and the earlier is thi The earlier Emperors were.nomiaallv-lTA. publican magistrates, but - practicallv their power was unlimited. Tte later Emperors .were avowedly Oriental despots, bat their power bad one important and definite-limitation. On the other handy the later Em perors had not so much active resistance to tear as the' earlier. The; spirit of liberty which prompts to active resistance was in the earlier period not quite dead; the spirit of religion and morality ? which was rigor ous in the later- period prompted ' only to passive resistance. The practical 'result was that the earlier Emperors could not venture upon so orach cruelty as the later and the later Emperora could not indulge so much caprice as the: earlitr. Din the first century the Romans submitted for years to all the frantic whims of the lunatic Caligula; at last they killed him for his . cruelty. , At the beginning of the third; century the aristocracy of Rome ' looked on with an. enormous patience while a shameless Syrian priest insulted its gods and its religion.

Liberty has had to make its anneal 0 those classical Mmules and that IitTtw inch were superseded by Chris tianty. In the French-' Revolution men turned from the New Testament to Plutarch. The former ihey . connected with tyranny ; the latter was their text-book of liberty. Plutarch furnished them with the teachiusr thev required for their special purpose, but the New Testament met all their new-born political ardor with a silence broken only nere and tliere bv exnortations to suomis . S10B. But this,,which has been the weakness ot Christianity in recent times, was its strength in the first ages of its existence. The spirit ot Liberty and the, spirit of Nationality were once for all dead ; to sit weeping by; their grave might fer a time be a pious duty, but it could not continue always ex- it his object to nurse the ancient spirit as much as possible. He canonizes tue mar tyrs of the Senate, Pcotua, Rusticus, Helvi dius. He studies to feel like a senator, though conscious that-thc dignity of that name is only traditional. He s'udies to feci like a Roman, but he cannot prevent tke corruption of Roman blood, noi check the inundating fl-od of foreicn manners: Plutarch buries himself in the past, and byj the power of imagination rc-pcples with! its ancient heroes the depopulated and de moralized Greece into which he was born, In the age of Trajan, to read of Epami nondas, Dion, Timolcon, might be enter taining and elevating, but it could not be practic ally useful, for it was neither possible nor desirable to imitate such examples. A literary man, like Plutarch, mightaot keen-j Iy feel the hopeless contrast between the reality and bis ideal; but Tacitus, in the rtoman tsenate, ieels it, and hence the cym-i cal despairahat pervades his works. It was, therefore, the strength of Christianity that it renounced this unprofitable idcali When it came forward, in the age of Coni stantine,"to lead the thought of the Empire) it presented a programme in which Liberty and Nationality were omitted.
