Men do not learn to hate their gold,
However much we have been told,
And yet I'd like again to stand

! “The ’ iniSfcnce^tf. education in the •
|moral world, as ’the physical, ren-
tiers lumin'ous -what was before ob-
■scure- lt« op,ehs a wide field for
•‘the exerciste ‘fhfejmprovement of all
5 the faculties “o> man,, and imparts
‘ vigor and clearness to those im-
portant truths in the science of gpv-
,»ernmen|, asSvell as of morals, which
would Otherwise be lost in the dark- '
ness vff - ignorance. Without its aid
how .perilous and insufficient would ’
be the deliberations of a govem-
# ment Ikie ours. How ignoble and -
, useless its legislation for all the
purposes of happiness.. How fragile
and insecure its liberties. War would
. . bft conducted without the science
t (ne^essar^ s to secure success, and its
, bittepiesis and calamities would be
( unrelieved, by (the. ameliorating circ-
. .upasfonces whicfi the improved condi-
tion of man has imparted to it.
Peace would be joyless, because its
train would be unattended by that
) ’ civilization and refinement which
alone can give zest to social and
domestic enjoyments; and how shall
we protect our rights if we do not
comprehend them? And how can we
comprehend them unless we acquire a
knowledge of the past and present
condition of things, and practice the
I habit of enlightened reflection? Cui-
1 tivation is as necessary ‘ to the sup-
ply fo rich intellectual and moral
fruits, as are the labors of the hus-
bandman to bring forth the valua-
' ble productions of the earth.
“But it would superfluous
offer to this honorable Congress
any extended argument, to enforce
the practical importance of this sub-
ject. I feel assured that it will,
in that liberal spirit of improve-
ment which pervades the social world
lose not the 6 auspicious opportunity
to provide for literary institutions,
with an influence commensurate
with our future destinies. To pat-
ronize the general diffusion of know-
ledge, industry and charity, has been
near the heart of the good and wise
. of all Nations, while the ambitious
and ignorant would fain have threat-
ened a policy so pure and laudable
But the rich domes and spires of ed-
ifices consecrated to these objects,
which are continually increasing in
, numbers, throwing their scenic splen-
dor over civilization and attesting
the patriotism of their founders J
show that this unhallowed purpose
has not been accomplished.
“Our young republic has been form-
ed by a Spartan spirit. Let it prog-
' ress and ripen into Roman firmness
and Athenian Gracefulness and wis-
dom. Let those names which have
been inscribed on the standard of
our national glory, be found also on
the pages of her history, associated
with that profound enlightened
policy which is to make our country
a bright link in that chain of free
States which xvill some day encircle
and unite in harmony the American
continent.
“Thus, and thus only, wffl true
glory be perfected; and our Nation,
which has sprung from the harsh
■trump of war. be matured into
the refinements and tranquil happi-
ness of peace.
“Let me, therefore, urge upon you,
gentlemen, not to postpone the mat-
ter too Jong. The present is a pro-
pit iuos moment to lay the foundation
of a great moral and intellectual ed-
if.ee, which will in after ages be hail-
ed as the chief ornament and bles* I
s-.r.g of Texas. A suitable appro-
priation of lands to the purpose of
general education can be made at
