Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters to Congress, on National Free Schools 4. Proposed plan for establishing such Schools. 5. On the advantages offered by the present condition of this country for adopting the proposed measure. 6. On the probable effects of National Free Schools on the government and general interests of this Union. It is the intention of the writer to treat as concisely as practicable on these several topics, with the hope that these letters may he the more extensively spread through the medium of public journals, before the people of the United States, as well as before those to whom they have delegated the great trust to provide for their welfare. In this letter I would respectfully call upon the Representatives of the people and the people themselves to consider, I. The importance of National Free Schools to secure permanency and prosperity to this Union. It has been an object of the anxious solicitude of the wisest and best of our patriots and statesmen to recommend measures to form among the people of the several states affinities of character, to counteract the influence of sectional prejudices, and thereby to strengthen and perpetuate the bonds essential to their existence and prosperity as a nation. Already too often have arisen sectional jealousies and alienations injurious to our prosperity and dishonorable to our character in the eyes of the world. Before the tomb has closed on that illustrious race of patriots who recoiled from no sacrifices for the achievement of the independence and freedom of their country, for even slight causes the dissolution of the proud monument of their glory has been repeatedly threatened by their sons. Such occurrences declare too plainly a deplorable want of national feeling, national character, national pride. The friend of his country has just cause to fear, lest some emergency shall arouse sectional prejudices and growing alienations to deeds of violence, and to plunge this country into all the horrors of civil war. Or if they but foster a spirit of angry rivalry and illiberality paralizing to national character, they are ominous of an early decline to a state of imbecility. It is, then, the duty of a wise government to guard, not only against external foes, but with equal care against the evils that spring from ignorance and misguided passions. Ignorance is the manacle that holds the slave in ignominious bondage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
