This species of ignoble warfare has, of late, by certain conductors of our Island Press,- with whom, Sir, I am happy to be able to say, it would be very unjust to couple you—been carried on too long and with it licence truly intolerable ; epccially by one individual who, without provocation, and in the mere spirit ofriliald wentonness, to show his imaginary ta- lent, has sought occasions for assuiling the private characters of such individuals as ho dreads to encoun- ter fairly or with equal arms in the arena of public do- bate ; and the practice has I am sure, materially tended to do rade those who have indulged in it, in the estimation of every man of sound judgment and pure taste amongst their readers. But, prone as newspaper editors are, in this respect, “to run a-muck, and tilt at all they meet;” it is, on the other hand, much to be regretted, that at times when their pens might, and ought to be brought into action, and their knowledge, talents, and tact be well employed for the general good,—should they find themselves un- summoned to the field for the defence of their party or “feudal lords,” they are too well contented to take their case in their arm chairs and allow the general ood to take care of itself.

I need not now, imagine, repeat any of the many conclusive arguments, which have, of late years, been so often triitmphantly employed to prove that the general education of the people must be, nay, cannot be other- wise than for the general good; and that, consequently, it is no more than an act of even-handed justice, to re- quire that every rateable" individual in any community in which such a system of education either already exists, or is about to be brought into operation, may be compelled directly to contribute to its support, accord- in to his means. akin then the truth and justice of this reposition to be fu ly admitted on every side; or at Ibaat by all but suchas are not, by blind and miscalciilatiag selfish- ness, or stu id misapprehension of their own interests, as individual members of one great family, rendered in- capable of comprehending the happy, the salutary results which must, as it were of necessity, flow from it; I will now merely suggest that it is for you, Sir, and others, whom long trainin and ex rionce in the schools of political economy have enab ed to resolve the question, to indicate to the public the source whence, with the greatest justice and the least individual incon- venience, the rnoans for the sup of the requisite number of Free Schools in the Co ony may be derived.
