SUPERINTENDENT or PUBLIC EDUCATION.

The Democratic candidate for State Superin-
tendent of Public Education must be queer !
sort Of fish, or rather o very Proteus, if
1.-THE Of The rumors in circulation concerning |
hiu, have any foundation in fact He has also
inaugurated q new system Of electioneering,
which, no doubt, will be properly appreciated
as soon as IL becomes known, especially in this
city.
Recently, DR.. Bard delivered a remarkable
speech in Clinton, Louisiana, according TO
communication published in the Baton Rouge
Comet, of the 9th Writes as follows the
Comets correspondent
He says that Yankees Yankee schoolmasters al
Aboltionists-that they have aboitonized the city OF
New otleans-that New Orleans may be put down as an
abolition eitythat should have nothing to do with
Yakse snhoomasters until they gel married purchase land
and bug aresthat they may be known by their panta
being little too short at end, and by the habit
Fhey have Of running their arms too far through their
sleeves. The speaker did not say but presume he
would be perfectly willing to see raw Irishman come
amongst teacher, while he would prescribe the
Yankees.
The ssYankees'' of New Orleans had better
look out. DR.. Bard is after them! They have
"abolitionized the city have they-those dia-
bolical '.Yankeesss Well, this is a pretty piece
of business. What nice kettle of fish What
| q remarkable circumstance What tremendous
personages these .sYankees" must be! How
cute, sly, 'sdeyilish sly as well as dangerous,
| the awful fellows are! Why, if DR.. Bard be
| correct, (and DR.. Bard being Yankee himself,
ought to know,) an extreme Southern city has
| been sabolitionized," and nobody knew any
| thing about it until Dr.. Bard impaired the
| astounding information. All true Southerners
should acknowledge their obligations to the
Rev. DIR. Bard. The Doctor is the greatest dis
coverer of the age-the Christopher Columbus
Of the 10th oentury-a living, perambulating
monument Of the ignorance Of eyeryb body in this
section Of country, as well as Of his own supe-
rior intelligence and sagaoity. Half a dozen Of
the largest bullock's hides would not suffice for
| the construction of q medal of suitable dimen-
1 sions for him. His extraordinary merits, I'M.
preeedented requirements and unparalleled
versatility, entitle him to testimonial of some
kind or other, the Like of which has never been
seen. steamship rampant, "a dromedary in
4 state OF explosion, or pious elephant on his
knees, saying his prayers in the htany of half
q dozen different churches, might answer admi-

The learned, erudite and pious Doctor, Che
ought to be pious, for he has belonged to chur-
ches enough) then proceeded to bring Masonry to
bear upon the American party. The writer for
the Comet says:
Il The Masons of this place informed that they
could belong to the order Nothipgs and b.
Masonsthe speaker said be had taken ten degrees in
the Order and consequently he spoke Knowingly
conversed with several intelligent Masons since
this astounding revelation was made and am told nv
them that Masonry has nothing do with politics ant
when Mr.. Bard makes such assertion he knows bat
he has common sense ought to knew bet
ter Take his harangue altogether and it was the mos
ridiculous effort heard His own party IL down d,
him. He will be beaten about hundred and ty il

III The Masons, as we'll as "Yankeesn anc
