D;shelieye any set of men who come before yo'
With false promises of freedom from taxation
Listen to those sincere friends who will honestl,
| tell you that you must be taxed how much yot


ought to be taxed, and who will counsel treei
and fully with you beforehand as TO the mode
and subjects Of taxation. In a word, learn ''


iore iaxation as the only means of accomplishing
such objects as those Of paying the pubic deof
and OF educating your children, rch ana poor


See to it well that no revenue raised Tor iegltl
mate pnrposesis wasted, see that IL Is all ldiu
fully applied to the true ends OF government; pnt h


sure to raise enough for every END o state nece'-
stv. usefulness and honor. There Is no Cas-
mode of taxation, no royal road TO paying debts
or to education Industry, honesty, economy
and education alone make you free and
happy people


Educate your children-all your children
every one of them. An my friends, have
been often reyiled villfed and abused III public
Iile but you always stood by me, never forsook
me By aud by my enemies turned upon you


Their tiattery could not turn you away from my
support, and then they tried to put Us IN the
same category OF abuse. | felt no blows which
were ever struck at lnc-never-but the blows
which they struck at you, every one of them,
reached home to my heart There was one, the

because there was TOO much truth in the re-
proach They said Yes, they will always
elect him, but then anany ol them ca0not read
md ,Urite' never biushed until then. What
could say? What could do? Why say only
and do only that which any proud, honest and
brave man can do when reproached with truth


bow IN sorrow at the fact, and swear 1t shall
not be so in the next. the rising generation we
Will sec to it, and wipe out the reproacfi OF the
parents in the good teaching of the children


Mr. Wise then goes INTO q variety OF statistics
to show the wants Of the people on the subject Of
education, and their ability and means to educate
al! their children. He then says


NY friends! sec you before me- feel myself
in your presence-I see your 'upturned faces, as
often and of old | have met you and you have
heard me- Your familiar faces rise so palpaby
before me that | am inclined to call you by name
up to this good and glorious enterprise for your
selves. Accomac, Charles City, Elizabeth City,
Gloucester, James City, Lancaster, Mathews, New
Kent, northampton, Northumberland Warwick,
York-all, the whole twelve of you, as a last ap
peal as love you, call upon you no more for
nv sake but for your own sakes, to meet IN con-
vention at the old Raleigh, in Williamsburg, on
the 4th of July next, to consider OF the ways and
means of feeding and filling the minds OF every
one Of our children with the bread OF knowledge!
Come, send delegates every one OF you, as many
as you choose, and arrange propositions after you
meet. calE upon the learned philosophers OF
William and Mary, and of the academies and
schools-I call upon the reverend clergy of every
dcnomination-l call upon my brethren of the
bari call upon the humane faculty of medl-
cine-I call upon our most excellent farmers and
mechanics-I call upon parents and guardians
r Ill who would hp Jbo mothers Ot
scholars, philosophers, sages and great men--l
call upon all ages and sexes--I call upon the rich
man, and upon men of all conditions--to stir, to
live. move and have their being in this vital sub
ject.


He then concludes his farewell as follows


| am about to leave you for season. And oh
that when return to you and again travel my
wonted rounds, can only find amidst the chan
ges of time one at least which will be any thing
but sad. Schools schools! schools! free schools
in every village, at every turn of the road side,
Common free schools! with their delightful up
roar-their bounding boys-thelr sweet little
modestly-courtesying h,yflap glrs-their play
grounds pranks-thclr chestnut and their
cherry trees-their springs OF sweet waters, with
their gourd or their milk shell-their swings
their sweet briars--their sports-ther oves-thelr
dights-,heir ferues and birch--wth their music
of the murmuring 'a-b-abs' Oh, my friends
90 back to the days of childhood; remember the
old school houses-and, whilst the tear of swell
ing good heart stands In your eyes, 60 about this
work at once. The village schools What af-
lectons and hopes nestle and iondle in its bosom!
What half-sad, halfsweet memories rush back to
it's by gone days! Ii, when | return | can but
stop at one common free school-hear one well
washed and well combed urchin ask, who IS
that p and hear another reply, he is our old Re
preventative, who told our parents the State tCaS
bound TO teach us all as its oDn children, and
persuaded them to bear tones for oar education,'
| will feel the JOY Of having done you service,
and give you grateful greeting, as warm and
heartfelt as the affections with which now sadly
say to you al-iarewel
