heads this letter held the honorable position Of
Professor in our State University. A report was in
circulation that he had avowed himself favorable to
the election of Fremont, and deemed it necessa-
~ to call it formally to the attention of the Irus-
tees, which we did through the columns Of the
Standard
Mr.. Hedrick made what he styled his defence
and grew indignant that his loyalty to his native
State and the University should be called into
question by an anonymous writer, whom he AFTER
wards styled in letter to some abolitionsts OF New
York City, "a second fider to the Standard"
In his "deience," Mr.. Hedrick said "Should
there be any interference with subjects belonging to
State policy either by other States or the federal
government no one will he more ready than my
self to defend the good old North my native State
And in the closing paragraph he remarks, born
in the "good old North State cherish love for
her and her people that bear to no other State or
people. 1t will ever be my sincere wish to advance
her interests" and from this the worthy Professor
pirates his love for the whole Union, and charges
upon your correspondent fanatcism Cor denouncing
him instead of arguing with him. .
However this may have been, the Trustees unarri-
mously agreed with your correspondent and dis
missed Mr.. Hedrick from the University. From
his many protestations in his "defence" OF love for
North Carolina and the Union and the veneration
he seemed to have had for the opinions of Washing
would be checked by the rebuke given him by the
Trustees and which was so universally applauded by
the citizens of his native State" But from the
locality O. his residence and the associates he had
chosen, We were prepared somewhat for that which
has come to light during the last few days in regard
to this patriotic of the good old North"
Among what appears to be the executive commit
tee of the abolition revolutionary scheme, along
with the names of Horace Greedy, Thurlow Weed,

valiant for the honor of his "good old North."-
Nay more, among the subscribers for material aid"
to this new Indictment to treason and civil war;
this direct interference with subjc belonging to
State policy" the feeders as it were to treason and
revolution we see this State-loring Professor
contributing fifty dollars Contributing fifty dollars
for the purpose of inaugurating a scheme at the
North of freeing our slaves, at the expense of the
lives of the owners, be they, as it may be, his own
kindred; yes. even at the expense OF the existence
of the good old North" and of the Union ITSELF
the tender objects of his love and generation.
What warning should the example of this man
be to the citizens of the South. How particular
should we be in selecting teachers for our youths.
How quickly should we take cognizance of any de-
parture in walk conversation" not only of
Northern people. but Of natives here and to the
manner born" What source of corruption would
have been the continuation of this man at the fonn-
tain head of instruction in this State. How many
youths would have been mpregnated with the dan
gerous poison. The Trustees deserve the thanks of
the whole State for the promptness of their action.
1t is time for the people of the South to scrutinize
closely the actions of those who doubtful upon
the great question of slavery. Our very existence
depends upon it. Our youths should be educated
at home by truly Southern men.
The execution of the murderer. Brown, will only
to the fanatics of the North, and may
expect emissaries of their societies in all kinds of
DISCUSSES, following every avocation, throughout
the length and breadth of the South to revenge the
execution of Brown and his followers. Especially
as school-masters and Professors when they can be
most useful to those who send them, will they ap-
ply for situations We can and must educate our
children independent of Harvard. Yale, and even of
Yankee school-masters no longer necessities of the
South, but actually hurtful to our best interest.

our columns the above article not only to show how
industriously the Northern war upon the property
