THE PRINCIPLES OF MORALITY.
We are not aware of my error which inflicts
a greater amount of evil on mankind Chao time
want of a clear and dietioct perception of the
great first principles of moraity. It is an error
which is not confined to the ignorant and Maw -
lute, nor exclusively embodied in the practice of
what are termed flagrant vices. It preemies all
classes, even the intelligent and religious, and
a very .mall minority of tnaukiud are free from
it. The generality of mankind, for instance,
have an idea that It is wrong to steal, and thin
feeling is ca!1_d Aonasty, and when we hear a
man called honest, we generally emfioe our uo-
least, the plausibility of apologising fur such noes of his character to the fact that he will out

such acts has still the effect of aggravating their
cnmiaality in public estimation. The moral
pereeptioas of mankind, though much blunted
by the jarring memoriam of polities sad secta-
rianism are not, and we believe in the very na-
ture of thiogs never can be, entirely obliterated.t
We have been led to these remarks by a cir-
eltln.see which will shortly occupy the atten-
tion of our District Council, and which we wish
to bring before our readers in its most clear and
ulcerating aspect.. We lately bid the pleasure
of announcing to oar' readers that the Govern -
meat had been pleased to appoint the Reverend
Charles Fletcher to the office of District Super-
inteodent of common schools, for the County of
Huron ;-and at the same time, we expressed
our opinion that the appoiatmeot was calculated
to give much satisfaction, and to confer much
benefit oo the cause of Education in this Dis-
trict. We cannot conceal the fact that we have
long en:ertained's cnnecientioue objection to
Clergymen having any control over secular edu-
canon ; sad our objection is founded exclusively
oD the mournful reality that history is pregnant
with proofs that, in the great majority of instan-
ces, where that control has been tolerated, it has
been abused in attempts to disseminate the pecu-
liarities of eeruin eeetarianisms, rather than
been used endeavoring to communicate and
extend the great first principles of general know-
leder.
nuw-
ledv . Tnie is the ground work of our objec-
tion. We are aware that it is not entertained
by any great number in this Province ; and the
(act of an eminent sectarian Clergyman occupy-
ing the chief office in connection with Educa-
tion of the Province, is proof positive that our
objection bas but little weight in general.-
There i■, however, .n old saying ie Scotland to
to which we have always paid a sort of religious
deference, via, "Tres bucks dinea resale' a white."
And a the fact of Dr. Ryerson being Chief
Superintendent of Education, is no argument
why another Clergyman should be District Su-
perintendent, we feel bound to give oar owe
reasons why we advocate the appointment of the
Rev. Charles Fletcher. in the first plate, we
coosider the duties oldie office as one of the nest
importance to the future well-being of the in-
habitantthe; in other words, we regard . edam -
nos of a people a paramount to all other coo-
aMrotiew. ; iia the averred piece, we eeselede
