TOUCHING MURDER.

The Tribune asserts that DR.. Graham killed
Colonel Loring al the St. Nicholas Hotel, be
cause the former was STAKEHOLDER, and was
educated amongst shareholders. An tx;fae.
from Thomas Jeffrrsons writings is quoted, 10
back up this posiion-an extract from the
writings OF the very Jefferson whom the Tri-
bane denounced four years ago, in deliberately
sophs,ical TRADES, az an infidel. dishonest,
politician. and an immoral man. The stupid
c,'umny has en- repudia,ed by the veriest
Aboltionists in the city, and the old Post itself
in an unusual mood Of manlness, has denoun-
ced the caumniator in terms Of unmeasured
contempt it is needless for us therefore, 10
waste time in refutatioh
But We may be permitted TO ask, Has any
paragraph IN Jefferson's Notes on Virginia
thrown light upon the causes of the terrible
murders which SO often disgrace society in the
North, and lead a thrilling in,e rest'' to the
play bill style Of our police reports We fear
New York and New England can claim supe
riority over the South in the science of murder
Professor Webster, who cut up, suspended on
fishing looks, and encased in packing boxes,
his friend, DR.. Parkman's body, in the good
city Of Boston, who afterwards PLAYED cards
wi h his children and did the amiable" at
several evening parties while he knew, and
chuckled over the knowledge, that public opirs
ion was inclined 10 attribute his crime 10 an
innocent man-dld the Professor own slaves, or
was his cunning, vindictive and demoniccal
GOODNESS the resul. Of familiarity with Southern
Institutions
Well then, as Graham used the cane sword.
perhaps in his own de ence, because he had
slaves, Webster surrendered his soul to the
Devil because he had none. The conclusion
is logical enough for the Tribans.
Did Tucker, who cnt his chi!d's throat in
Brooklyn 'ew nights ago, and thea expert
m-nted on his wiie's jugular, own negroes, deal
in negroes, or in any way wha' soever connec,
himself with Southern Slavery, which haunts
the Tribune ike a huge Frankenstrin, whose
hideousness l. the creature of its own heated
brain "lf Graham had been educated in the
North, he would not commit this crime no,
it is probable he would con6ne his energies To
the assassination Of officers like Bate helder,
while discharging their duties To the laws and
Constitution Of their country. A PLAN mai,
would mol expect The S nth To be tried in tn.
persun of Graham, assuming HIM 10 be mur
rer, (which we cannot do until after his con-
viction,) any more than he would wish the
Narth to be estimated by III, Tri'sae. its logic
and its far.play.
But what the cause the Northern muir.
dtfss Foreign INNING a,inn, acc"ro,ng Ia the
Tribune. "Thry are all c mmi It'd by b-ni. h,
I'd Foreigners" Was Webster nnisLt.d ,
Was Tucker fore igner? Were they educa-
ted IN Germany or Ireland, that they should
r-duce murder. as DE Quincy has do"e, To
s.fine art, and ume The .n.st nu,ahle posi-
ton amongst the assassins of IN. .arths IN
fact, the Tsibxne's logic is as bad as its dispo.
