SHOOTING sCHOOLMAsTERs.

II has been tacitly assumed and conceded through
out the discussions excited by the murder OF But
Ter and the trial of Ward. that the shooting of
sch0olmasters was, in the abstract. reprehensbie,
whatever might be the judgment with regard to any
particular schoomaster. The Richmond Examiner
however, has brOached different theory-namely
that the shooting of average Northern schoomasters
by southern gentlemen il cOrrec: and commendable
Thus runs The Examiner avermeut:
The South has for years been with hores Of
.cboos those hotbeds o eIfconset aud who
have by dnt of unbushing impuience established them
selves schoolmssters in our midst These creatures,
with EXCEPTIONS have not deserved the protection OF
laws. They bear neither in person or in mind very
strong resemblance human beings In language,
ais and education they might lead one to believe
that Frank not the myth of German
writer and the fahoo real rather than fabulous mon
ster born of the enyenomed and satreaL pen of Swift
OF this class, lchabod Crane northen writer's por-
trait OF Yankee schoolmaster, is most complimentary
and fattering picture. SO OdIOus some OF these
.,neraEf ignOramuses to the people OF the South so
full of aboltousm and concealed incendarism many
OF this class full OF guile fraud and deceit that the
deliberate shooting OF one OF them down in the act OF
poisoning the minds OF our slaves children we
think, il regarded as homocdO at all should al.
ways be deemed perfectly last,fabe; and IRE im-

and We deem it advisable to promugate the law that

Garrison at the next meeting of the anolayery party
Faneuil Hall. We repeat that The shooting Of Haeraat
abolition sch0ondstsrs is frequently credtabe and
laudable act emitting respectable southern TO- at
least seat in the Legislature, place in the Common
Council Let all Yankee schoolmasters who propose in
vadlng the South, endowed with strong nasal twang

Of abominations, seek congenal land where
their lives will be than in the vile and hom
cida 9laye States We shall be glad if the rawlings Of
the Abolition press about the Ward acquitta shall have
this effect.
The shooting of southern Of education and tai
enis professor and useful citizen has produced just
degree OF Indignation excitement and lawless exhibition Of
violent feeling, which time does appear 10 diminish.
But regret TO that the shooting Of NEEDLE
some NewEnglaDd Abolition sohoomaster would resutin
such exhibition OF popular rage The neghbors of the
fortunate marksman might give him barbecue,
him for Congress but beyond that nothing would be DONE
We wish The Examiner would undertake to tell
what creates the large demand for Northern school
masters at the South, while Southern teachers are
white blackbrds at the North. 1t certainlyis
not any excessive demand for teachers among the
Chvalry, for New-York alone employs more teachers
than any five Slave States. What is it
