lt THE }:DUCATION QUESTION,

It is not elone with referenee to those por- tions of hieory in which distinctly relizious

questions occur that differences will arise ; a|

Roman Catholic will take a different view of the whole scope of history from a Protestant. Arnold would have written a very different sketch of wniversal history from that which Roasuet wrote, though both were men of a deeply reliious tern of miid. Many will remember the splendid passage in Arnold's lectures on Modern History, when he speaks of the fall of Bonaparte, and traces the hand of Providence in the results of the campaign ot Russia; a Catholic could not bave written that passage without an allusion to Napoleon's attack on the Pope, which marked the turning point of his career. No one can treat philoso- phically of modern history, without referring to the inflaence of Catholicity and the Popes, nor of Ancient History without eontrasting jts ideas with those of Catholicity. History, apart from ll reference to religion, is reduced to a bead roll of dates. Nor can the classics be adequately taught without allu. the

sion to religious truths; study of Greek and Latin literature is nct the mere acquiring of the power of reading two foreign janguages; their spiri¢ must be entered into and compared witi that of Christian literature. Who could read Plato with clever, ardent lade, and refrain from pointing out where natural te seach a portion of the truth, and where even

he had fallen short? Or who could go through

lights bad enabled that glorious pegan

Cicero and not enlarge on the difference be- tween the full cert'tude of the Christian, and his own earnest, though hesitating groping after immo:tality ? We mav here observe that the stady

frem ali such references to relizious truth ie

Goume and

merely anintentional omission of such cor rectives has led to an exaggerated estimate and affection for the classics; and that, as it is said, too many, even of the digvitaries of a certain establishment, form their mind more on Plato and Aristottle than on Christian philosophe:s, and have a keener admiration for Cato and Decius than for the Christian martyrs. See the preface to Madan’s Juvenal and Persius.

What we have said of the study of the clas- sics may be observed of every branch of literature, unless such studies are to be de- graded it.to the mere parrot power of intepret-

ing; more than this, a teacher of philesophy | .

itselt would hardly adequately diecharge his task if he failed to point out the new meanings which Christianity has impa:ted to the words humilitas, charites, sacramentum. Doctor Whately has made marifest how the

religio,

Schools in whieh Catholics are

|educated, in which Catholic parente have confidence, to which many reepeetable Pro- testants send their children, are refused d reasunable share of that very money which Catholics pey for education, and whieh they wish to be expended on euch schools. Duvid Laird and other extra pious men say that thie is no injustice. Their argument is this: “We will make you pay your thousands for education, but it must be education according to our theory and not according to your Romish superstitions ; we huve the majority, avd 80 you had better be very civil ; you may | get up splendid schools if you will, but one ceat of the eight or nine thousand pounds you | pay towards the edacation fund, you shall | Dot receive for such schools. By the same | tolerant, Christian spirit of justice, Papists | ere compelled to pay three or four hundred | pounds annually to the Protestant College, | while their own College is not allowed ua | penny of the thousands which they pay to | the genera! education fund. In the cetime- jtion of pious David this is justice, this is | equality ! It is a satisfaction to know that unreascnable and intolerant bigote of the | pious Elder's stamp are every day becoming fewer, and that a large majority of the res- | pectable Protestanta of the Island agrea with us ip denouncing an act of injustice which is } #0 patent to all. | The editor of the Patriot tries at one time | to cajole Catholics—at another time to brow- , beat and terrily them ; now and then he lete |them know that the sword of Damocles is | hanging over them ; that he holds the rod of | iron wherewith co bring under subjection their | Popish backs. We don't see what goad it ; will do for Mr. Laird to be calling the Holy | Father a **despotic prince.” In tue last iseue | of the patriotic aheet he sounds the ¢ocsin in the following style :—

“The Examiner way rest assured, that if the

tt bumiliating te be dictated to in the manage. ment et their civil affairs, by » foreign deapotic | prince, its Profestant population have spirit enough indignantly to resent, aod preuptly to resiet all such interference let it come in what shape it may, direct or indirect.”

We trust that our religious contemporary is doing as well as might be expected after this deliverance! We hope that he will have sufficiently recuperated his wasted ener- gies to tell us this week how many eggs were io the Just mare's nest which Le discovered, and when the said eggs are likely to be hatched !!

THE EDITOR OF THE PATRIOT

Is not plensed with our ideas on the questi no of Edocation. He says that we are incon

sistent, changeable and silly, and that our

writings have no effect. Now, we never in- tended to please the pioas Elder. and the

continual flow of rubbish in ths Patriot, di- rected against our efforts, is one of the best pos

sible proofs that our bumble etterings are tak- ing deep « fect, and causing great slarm to our contemporery. Christians of all denomina- tions peresive that our argumente in favor of religious education are unanewerable, and even the pious Elder himself has never eon- descended to refute them. Every number of the Patriot for the past six months, or more, contains « large amount of twad:lle similar to that which appears in last Saturday's issue ; thie is not @ small proof of the influence of the Exayinex If our articles are so mean and despicable, why does the good Eider give himeelf so mugh trouble in endeavoring to nullify their efect? Let our contemporary hu'd bis soul .n peace; notwithstanding bis serpentios contortions, and twistings and hie- sing, we shall continue the even tenor of our way in placing before our readers eound principles. We are only entering on our subject. We shall continue to address our

remarke, aot to the prejudices, but the reason’

and judyement of our community. The Patriot way sound its tocsin ae Jong and loud as it plense; but time wili tell which will prevail, hristian toleration or ¢ocsin tyranny. Our coniemporary catechises us as to our motives and intentions. In reply, we reiterate what we have often stated before: we are anxious ‘bat even-handed justice should be meted out to all denominations of Chriatians If Protestants pay eleven thousand pounds for the education of their children, we main. tain that this sum should be expended just as Protestaut parents think proper; if they consider it necessary to teach the Bible in the schools, let them do so; if Mr. Laird aod his co-religionists wish to teach their children that Catholics are idolators, that the Pope is the ‘‘ Man of Sin,’ the * Beast,'’ that Rome is the « Scarlet Lady,”’ &ec., by all means let them do so with the money which they pay. This is but juetice; percate seve a right, a sacred right, to edu- cate their children as they please, If their ideas regarding the Pope, the Blessed Virgin, Holy Water, &c., don’s happen to be equare with curs, we are not going to quarrel with them on that account. Let them settle that flair with their Maker, On the other hand, if ** Papiste’? pay nine thousand pounds for

At the same time we advocate striet and impartial jus thee; firet, let the Corporation make the roads passable tor carts and earriages, and when these repairs are provided for, let them inflict whatever fine they may think necessary to stop persons driving on the side walks; but while the roads are left in such a condition as to be absolutely dangerous, it appears an act of gross injustice to fine persous for travelling upon the ouly part of the highways accessible to them. It would be well for the Corporation to reflect upon all this. because it will very naturally be urged that they keep the roads in an impassable state, for the ex- preas purpose of raising an incume by fiuing thoee who they compel to drive on the foot-way, (rather au easy way of raising the wind and fiiling the cuff-rs of the elders,) and we sinecrely recommend tne Corporation. if such be their motive, tu ap- point two or three gentlemen informers, who would doubtiews be found ready to do the dirty work upon au agreement for receiving half the fines. — Com.

It affords us much plea sure lo chronicla the success of our young men who go to other parts to prosecute their studies, and we are happy they are, in almost every in- stance, able tw take their place in the highest collegiate ranks. We hope the success of the above named young gentlemen will stimulate the youths in our Colleges to renewed efforts, so that when they are called apon to take their trial, no watter in what branch of business, they may be evabled tu acquit themselves with credit.
