To all tins bo_ has joined the most precise assurances. that exact obedience to this precept. will have no other tendency than to niaks as wise and re here below, and blessed beyond all conception for ever ; -that it I manner ofintarcourae with him. and all coriiinunion with his holy word,_are uiost pure and most otitablo ; and that all contrary nnppt-aiiiuns. are highly offensive to hint, and full of dishonor to his infinite being. As is second repl , it tniiy be stated, with equal truth, that all ex- perience provest objection to be entirely mistaken. I"nr.‘ of nll tnttnltind, the wisest, the purest. the best were selected to write this uttered volunio ; and. in all ages. the objectors themselves shall say. if this has not been erninently the character of those who have the earliest, the most thoroughly. nud the moat aincitrely pondered, mustered, imbibed. and rt-joi in its precious conicnis !

“ A d on tinn. which soeins to be urged not of a spirit of amiable aolicitude for the Ilible itself, would exislude it ft_om_tl_ic course of syateiiiutic educntion, lost is too great faniilnirity with it in early life should disparage religion itself in our subsequent regards. This conceit is founded In total ignorance of the liuinan heart, and they who utter it overlook one of the uncut rind most uniilternble litws of our mortnl bein . The objects wiiicli we cherish niost fondly and most steadfastly are those which. first occupied our early and ardent thoughts. Oh . that we could bind the ‘early and tender affections of the whole people to the name of Christ, to the throne of God ! Uh ! that this fatal familiarity with divine truth were the universal heritage of the chililr of our country ! I

" It is to be feared. tltiit in“, who call tlieiiiaelves the friends of education, aru totally opposed to all religious influence, either in the school or the coinmunity ; und there is too ttiuch rcaison to sup- pose, that plans are already extensively mnturcd. whose success will exclude for over all inoral instruction front the course of popular education. This branch of this grant subject needs, ntid must re- ceivo. first or last, it thorough sil'itng. But this is not the occasion. I will, in present, merely airy, thut, manifestly, there can be no union of effort between those friends of educntion who exclude from their system all innrnl trtiining, and those who make conscience of taking‘ the Bible to school with tlinin ; t.|litI the sooner the question is made between llieiii, tit the b.ir of the public, the better for the country; for the question involved is no less than this: whctlier the education of a religious people shall be subjected to an Infidel or a Christian cnntro ."'

“ But it need not be said. thnt this is not the intended economy. the plnn of American Society. It wits not devised for the few, but for the niuny; not for it select and privileged corps, but for the inil- linns. fienernl, popular educntion, is the great aclienic laid out for this republican empire. If there be tiny feature more distinct. more prominent, nitd tnnre olrservnble. in the aocinl structure uflhia gretit cotnrnonwnnlih. than niiy other.i is that of equal chances in life to all; iliat it child altnll not be in ignorance, for want of oppor- tunities to ucquire kriowledge; than he shall not be doomed to it low condition, because such warn the lot of his parents; and lhiit there shall be no insuperablc itiipcdirtiients ufn socinl nnd tnornl nature to his advancettient in the ancinl state, to any cletntion, not excepting the higheat within the scope of it just untl lnuduble ttinbition.

" The syateiii of common schools, early set up in this country, eoeval indeed with Ainericzin civiliz-ition. handed down from geno- rntinn to gciiorzttion, provided for nit the first core of tire atute, nnd vvnlclicd over with paternnl aolicitude, nurtured, endowed, cdiiied, and never suffered to decline, but alwn sput forward with vigor and cfiicieiicy, is the cradle ofthose chnnces we speak of. On this foundation, cuniinort to n'l, has been erect a ayiiteni of select and higher ucliools, up to the college and university. tvliiuli are nlsn within the reiicli of.-ill, by reason of it system of public economy, which it is our special purpose in this cliiiptcr to notice; riot in- deed, so much within the rcncli of all us the common schools, but yet not excluding tiny, nor presenting insupernble obstacles to nny. The poorest nnd inennest born of tho lurid, prompted li innute rtmbiiion, nnd developing hopeful talent. can and do o en p.i through till the atngeeofcduciition. from the common school, till they

ave graduated with IIOIItlI' nt the highest setninnriea, nit entered upon the grnver responsibilities of life, to contend, in open and fair field. with the best born, for the highest prizes of the social state. whether of wealth or of influence, and it is an attribute of American soctat

and institutions to favor rind help forward the man th:it emerges from obscurity nnd strives to rise. 'I‘he common school is the basis ofall; the genius of the government is the parent of all; and the joint operation oftlie two, crowns it . ' '

"Turn now to the condition of the American cople, who. as the people, are also the laborers of the country. n the first place their physical condition is one of comfort, of independence, and of thrift, because they work for themselves, and huvo the reward of their own labour. In the next place, being in such a condition,

they have time to think; and their fathers having been in it like con

dition, they were sent to school, and qunlified to think. Seeing the worth of knowled e, and enjoyin its antisfuctions, they, in turn, send their children to school, because they love t out.

By industry rind economy, they can not only live in this way, rind in this wny bring up their families, but they cnn ncquire wealth, ciilnrgc their estates, ittid extend their in- fluence by it career of excinplnry tiior:ils and conduct. Every slngc oflife is one of increasing interest to them. presenting more power- ful inccntivcs to virtue, to moral niitl suciail eiiiineuce, and to leave behind them an independence for their children, ntitl ii nod name fortliumsralvr-s. ll nlong. in the progress of tltcir lives, they find theniselves free and independent members of a political coiinnnn- woultli, in the governriiciit of \\'lIi(:lI they alt.-irc, and which secures in them all these blessings. - \Vitli:tl, not the leziat. but the greatest, they are not only educntod for time, but for eternity.‘ llnving furnished sufficient evidence in proof of the admission of the Scriptures into the common schools of the United States, I had intended to present you with it fcvv passages from a work by Sir E. L. Bulwer—" England and the Eaglish;" in favor of Education founded on religion, but as I have already occupied your attention

read a few notes to the n end-..t:

‘- I am linppy in this opinion to fortify myself by the expression of a single sentiment in h . Cousin. in which it is difficult to any, whether we should admire most the eloquence, or the sagiicity, or the common scnce. I aubjoin some extracts:

“The pttpttlttl’ schools ofn nntion," he says. in recommending

the outline of a general educntion f'or France to Mr. Moataliret, ." ought to be penetrated with the religious spit it ofthnt nation. Is Cliristiitnity, or is it not, the religion of France.’ We must allow that it is. Then, I ask, shall we respect the religion of the people, or shall we destroy it? If we undertake the destruction of Christian- ity, then, I own, we tnust take care not to teach it. But if w not o to ourselves that end, we must teach our children the faith which has civilized their parents, and the liberal spirit ofwhlcli has prepared and austnins our rent modern institutions. Religion, in my eyes, is the best base o popular instruction. I know u littio of Euro ; no w ere have I seen good schools for the people where the Christian charity was riot. In linman societies there are some things for the accomplishment of which irtuo is necessary; or. when speaking of the great masses, Religion! Were you to Irivish the treasures of the slots, to tax parish and district still you could not dispense with Christian charity; or with that spirit of humble- ness and self-restraint, courageous resignation and modest dignity, which t-hristianiiy, well understood, and well taught can alone give to the instruction of the poor. It would be accessory to call religion to not aid, were it only a matter of finance." " Schools for girls in tho poorer classes are unlly important as those for boys.

for granted. In my mind. the aoaaniiy for instruction was settled apboristn centuries ago:' " vice we can learn ofoursolveo, but virtue and wisdom require a tutor." If this principle be disputed. the question yet rests on another: " we are not debating now, inho- ther or not the people shall be instructed-that has been determin- ed long sgo—-batwbathor they shall be iocll or ill taught." Here you perceive, he is ofopiiiion, that for the purposes of good govern- ment the people ought to be instructed on the basis of religion; thus conforming my conclusion on the systain,which prevails in the states ofAmcricu."

With a quotation from a speech of the Rev. Thea Jackson (Pro- aide nt, last ear, of the Wesleyan Conference.) I will bring my re- mitrkalo a e one, he an_va—-" It seems now to be generally tidtnitted Out the cltildrt-it of the laboring clnsses in tltia cuuiilr (Eiiglitnd) will be educated, and hence schools are rising up in ii I directions, and the public mind is being directed with grcnt intensity of feeling to the object offinding out the beat and most effective system of ‘ l\o rnan rejoices more aiiicorely than I do in this inova- meut; and yet I feel,tluit all education must be essentially defective unless Bible truth be a leading and essential element of it.—By all iiieans.let our children be cductited,let IIWIII be arquninted wiili,let- tors, but leave them not ignnriint of the Bible, the oldest and the bee lta—wo have no right to withhold front Iheni that Book; it belongs to them; the ion of it was conceded to iheiii by Ilirti wtiu made them: and woe be unto those, who keep from the bonds of the rising generation the words of inspirel trul . ’

In eoncluding,I inust apologise for the great length ut which I have trented this question, but I feel so deeply convinced tliitl educntion, to he a real blessing to the cointtitiriity must be based on religion, that I have endeavored to prove the justnera of tiny views by the co ions extrnct I huvo submitted to your notice

I‘he retiiarks I make still go abroad to the world. (I regret that

the lion. Mr. M'Donald is not in his place. yet feel assured that he would not take offence at anything which hits fallen front tiiy lips.) and I therefore wish it to be perfectly understood. that it not de- sire to enact, tlint the tenets ofitny one or other particular church must be adhered to—that this or that particulnr ciitecbism shall be learnod—nor do I want to proselyte the people, but I select the Bible as the fouiidntion of our proposed system of educntion. thut by the right study of thut book. so genernl a knowledge of the God who bestow it may he arrived at, as will result in his being an ful- y recognised, as the supreme governor of his creatures, as to hnve him properly nnd universally revered. If we honor God, prosper. it will be the result to families and nations: and it is my humble opinion. if the pi ople of France and of Ireland had been eiirly taught to reverence and had continued to honour the Supreme Be- ing, they would not be in the present unplt.-aannt circuinstitnces, I shall defer my remarks on the financial question involved in the Bible, until it is in Cuttttnittee, and take such further action in the tnatter, us may it penr ndvisiiblc.

llun. lllr. Silly.-\III:‘.Y, Sir, I feel myself called upon to make some remiirka, on what has just fallen from his I onor, which shall endeavor to do with the greatest per-tpicuily. \\'ith till the rnalter he hits brought before us, he hits not shown the principle on which he wialtes the Bible to be introduced into our schools, which is what I have been pnrticuhirly watching for, as I fully expectctl it would be tlte gist of his cliibornte nddrese and extracts, but it line not come forth an we tire as much in the dark on this score us ever, nor line be shown on country, where that priiiciplo has been so carried out, as to f'orni nta for us to work rom.

Mr. SIVAIIEY that in not the country, it is only one units of it, and what uutliority have we thut the rest of the stntca or any other oftlictit lina ndopted the plnn of Maryland, or that the princi- plo, which his Ilonor contends fur, hits been fairly carried out even in the Inner? I confess,tliere is none to satisfy me. His Ilunor has referred us to England, lint I think this reference not very happy for his ciiuse. for although he may boost of her Into pence Inning been founded on religious iiistructiun, yet the wisest of her legislat- tora are free to admit. tlint they nvo been exceedingly puzzled to legislate sutisfnctorily for the iiitrodnction of the ible into their Schools and liiivc tlierr-fore dropped the subject. Ilia Iloiior has nlsn ititroduced Rnlieapiero to our notice. I consider this n tnost singular reference indeed.
