The growing Irish-Catholic population of the city demanded a share of the State funds for their own schools, and, when met by the answer that public money should not be used to support sectarian schools, argued that the Public School Society was a private organization dominated by a Protestant atmosphere. They added their voices — and votes — to complaints from other sources against permitting a private legal monopoly of CLINTON AND THE FREE SCHOOL 147 public instruction. Governor Seward at las...t ex- pressed the popular discontent in his Annual Message in 1842 and urged "the expediency of vesting in the people of the City of New York, what I am sure the people of no other part of the State would, upon any consideration, relinquish — the education of their children. " The Public School Society did not take its death sentence quietly. Professing to fear "the blighting influ- ence of party strife and sectarian animosity" if the schools were transferred to public control, the Society continued for ten years to support its own free schools in spite of the organization of public schools known as the "ward schools.
