In the evening the excursionists returned to Richmond, oxerthe Richmond and Petersâ€" burbr Railroad, Mr. E. H. Gi‘tl, Superintend- elt. and Engineer of the road, furnishing them with complimentary tickets on the Cu 0 Lsion. The attention of our readers is relpectfully called to the Rev. J. Dick’s lecture, on the “ Church and Catacombu of Rome,” this (Flidly) evening. Besides the attractions ot‘the Subject and Speaker, there is yet an- other mauve, which we hope will influence many to be present;â€"¢iz: a (lesire to supâ€" pux-L the Institute in its laudible cifurts for public entertainment and improvement. We hope the R3v. Gentleman's appearance in so popular a Cause, will be greeted withuteem' in; house. My opponent again harps on the cry 'of' injustice, “ why do an injustice When neither nnjcrity nor minority reap any connnensurate benefit,” I suppose that this is really the only strong argument ug-iinst us, hence he makes good use of it. I have already shown that both par- ties receive commensurate value; but I so fart-hen I maintain that it is no in- justice to establish free schools ; being a. nzitionzil object it is also an individual in- terest; therefore it is the duty of all to unite in taking offthe embargo on educa- tion, in order that it may be like the air we bre 1the, free to all who wish to inhale git. To carry out ‘Rute-payer’s view ‘ ‘ that it is an injustice to be levied upon for the support of' that from which we «derive no direet benefit, is to argue an . . . o ‘ . exemption from contributing by taxation to the greater part of our public institu: tions. Every assessment made for school or other purposes, is an acknowledgement ( of the-principle. Almost every act pass- led by the Legislative or Municipal Coun- ,cil touches the pockets of some who have inn more to do with it than the inhabiâ€" ltanta «Greenland. In teldaya “ Herald To thz Editor ofthe York H¢rald. DEAR. Sm :â€" In your last issue, your correspondent "' lhtepayer,“ not only shows his pm- ch wt for izltellectuml gladiatorship, but his ability in weilding the pen. sing somewhat of». “ Rustic," I wish he had fallen into the hands of a more, able ad- vocxte of the free school system, and found in him a foeman worthy of his steel. ‘ Rite-piyer opens up his correspond- ence by endeavoring to split a hair ; argue it; as he any, 'it amounts to the some thing,â€"the taxation of those who have property for the benefit of those who have not. But in his anxiety toheip me out of'an error into which I had not fal- len, he fell into one of a. much graver na- ture. He says that ‘ Mechanics are able to educate their own children"; so they are, and will educitte whatever it costs, ‘ but if he means to convey the insinuation that they advocate the free school system, lmerely for pecuniary consideration, his pereabtive faculties have led him sadly astray. Many among them are without children. and possess taxable property to a considerable amount ;‘ they vote for it from p iziciple, and because they know thit there are those amongst us, who are neither farmers nor mechanics, who would be benefitted by their submission to a tax; and in our endeavors to reach the poor in a way in ‘which their self-re- spect should not be wounded, we happen to bene it others who‘may not be quite as needy, we are in a. far more enviable po- sition shun those who will not give at all for fear their benevolence might extend View the matter in a‘speculative light, that in is money well investegl ; i'oi'ifoui' epinuion Schools, under the p‘osent rate- bill system are the means of" leesening the tendency to the commission OFCTian,‘j'\ISlZ in pi'opm-tion to the freedom of access to these mews, will the expenses of our criminml jurisprudence diminish. It costs us mere to detect, try and punish an uneducated criminal, than the sending of'a half-dozen children to be educated by taxation. Rate-payer says “ as to the inderecc benefit the property holder is supposed to get from the spread of Education by the Free School sysxem, it has yet to be shown that it has a single advantage in this respect over the rate b111, or that it c-m be credited with a Sign of improve- m‘nt.” Every additional c ild snatched from moral ruin, add; to the moral stature of‘ our country; and if he, by his industry and intellectunl nwwer, aid in the dcvclop- meat of‘ the resources of the country, he adzls to the glory of her institutions, in- cru mes the v.1‘.ue of' her pronerty, and re- f'unils with compound interest, the cast of' his cduc-ttion. Some one has beautifully S'lid, that “ taxm}: for education isilike the vapors which rise and descend again to beautify and fertilize the earth.’ The first put of the pragmph is answered. above; and to the second I would say, that it is a decided improve- ment on the old system,â€"it does all that i<. not Wltll what it out to be.

When the Pilgrim Fathers in 1635 con- ceived the idea that Education was a nu- tionzil ohjecr,-â€":that the property of all should be taxed by the majority for the education of all, and in 1645 cirried out that View, they laid the foundation of the ‘ present proud position of the New Eng- land States, as the Metropolis of Ameri- can manufactures and Mechanical arts‘ the seat of the best Colleges and Schools on the continent, and placed within the breasts of her sons that spirit ot'indepen- ‘ denee and self-reliance, which character-l izes every New Englandor who sets his foot on Canadian Soil. They haVe tried , them for over two hundred years, and so fir from abandoning them at the present 1 time they have no better advoeates than l men of the largest property and greatest intelligence,â€"-the profoundest scholars and the ablest statesmen. Under the I Free School system no boy anxious for ‘ education is met at the threshold of the school room‘ with a demand for money,â€" he enters not by sufi'rrmce, pauper dis- tinctions are never known, no embargo is laid on education ; he claims it as a right â€";1 right provided for him by the state, to which he has as much legal title, as he has to protection, his father having paid for the same, in proportion to his taxable property.- From the lady managers of the Boys' Homa, settithr forth tlnt. the institution has been in operation upwards of six years, dur ing which period 284 boys had been cared for, many of whom have been placed in serâ€" vice where they have found comfortable homes and are giving satisfaction ; that there are at present 49 children in “the Home." and the managers are often com- pelleJ to reject applicatians for want of funds; that " the Home" is open to desti tute boys irrespective of colour, creed, ori- gin. orloculity; and funds being~ greatly needed to meet current expenses, the lady managers earnestly appeal to the Council for a gram t0 eimble them to further the objects of the charity.
