soon as she puts her heel on one shakes him of
into the fire after the manner Of 81. Paul, another
erects his Shiny head and threatens her with the
poison of his forky tongue. We had hoped that,
| after Professor HedIick had been expelled from
tie precincts of Chapel Hill for prssumng to have
a choice in the little particular of Presidential can
didates, and after the Rev. Mr. Bosrdman had been
made to walk Spanish by the Baptists of Beaufort,
S. c., for daring to disapprove Of Bully Brooks $
method Of addressing himself to the understanding
Of Senator Sumner, that peace would have been
| conquered for her. But 80 far from its being a
peace, it is not even truce-nOt so much as the
least bit Of an armistice
For after this it was discovered that DR.. Francis
Liober for twenty years the instructor of the in
eenuous youth of Carolina at Columbia College in
Political Economy and Moral Science, had been
guilty ten years before that of inserting article
| in the Encyclopedia Americana, of which he was
editor, disrespectful to Slavery and so dangerous
TO the Corner. stone Of our Republican Edi6ce.
We believe there was no ntmation that DR.. Lieber,
either by word or act had given rise to any suspi-
| cion that he was dangerous member of the COM
munity in which he had lived so long. But the
| faint of the original sin, when detected infected
with jealousy the sweetness of that long Alliance
| The trail of the serpent which was hatched among
the leaves Of that forest Of facts and opinions was
seen over it ALL So he was sent about his business
Not that he was formally exscsed and cut off from
that communion of saints, but they treated him as
the Quaker did the BLACKBOARD that attacked him
they did not strike him, but they heid him xncom
fortaJIy." They solicited his departure as the
cook maid prevailed on the frog to get out of the
water in her kettle-by making it too hot to hold
him.
But the terror of all these salutary examples, it
seems is not enough to keep these pestilent pro-
fessors in order Even in Virginia herself-the
breeder of Presidents and slayes.-the fountain Of
education cannot be kept free from communicating
influences 1t appears that there is a certain Pro-
fessor in William and Mary College Silas Totten
| by name, who has committed the enormity Of
writing letter to Tie Erening Post of this city,
in which he employs the following ncendiary Ian
| guage:
81 have no sympathy with the article quoted from
the Richmond paper by The Ereniag Post 1t does
moi speak the sentiment of the sober thinking part of
our people They do not fear the effect of Northern
emigration. Ii is great pity that the people of the
two sections Of the country should be excited against
each other by such Misrepresentation
Who can wonder that The Richmond South should
be down on this miscreant like hawk on June
bug 1t insnuates the dreadful charge that he is
Yankee by birth, and Yankee of the very worst
dyc-one "whO cOnceals an inyeterate hatred Of
"our institutions under the cloak Of hypOcrtical
"moderatOn.p 1t must be So, - for il is not prob
liable that any native born Virgnian, or any loyal
"citizen. even Of Northern birth, could involve
himself in 30 disreputable a correspondence.
This malignant even has the hardihood to add:
Free white labor finds immediate en-
"ployment at good wages, and We only
wish we had more of it, and of better
quality" Such being the ideas Of political
economy and common morality Of this Professor
we cannot wonder that the amputation of so cor
rupt member should be demanded as essential to
the health of the body he appertains unto Wi
liam and Mary College the censor goes on to
say. "has been in angushing condition for many
wears. Its fate is neither unjust nor inexpica-
:. BILE An institution which takes to its bosom
such individuals as the Reverend Professor Sllas
.Totten does not deserve and cannot expect the
support of Southern men"
II is indeed hard case that the ancient seat OF
learning which was once, and, for aught We know,
is now, refreshed by the influences of Professor
Dew. should have fallen on the evil days and evil
tongue of Professor Totten. We afectionately
warn this sinful brother against continuing in the
error of his ways Let him repent ofhis heresy and
fcrsake IT, or he must look to being cut of and de-
liyered over to be bufeted by the Adversary of
souls, We should advise him to take out his free
dom of that guild at once, if he has not already
done it, The purchase of "a low-prced baby,
such as Hosea Biselow proposed buying, By way OF
qualifying himself as a Presidential candidate,
might answer But something he must do, or he
will find himself with his face in the direction of
the other side Of the Southern Jordan-a road
which we all know is hard TO travel--and that sud
denly. he should remember that civil liberty, to
use the clear language of the Rev. Hubbard Wins

either allowance or protection from the brothor-
hood under whose wing he lives.
