Driving Out the school Teachers.

Driving Out the School Teachers.
1t has become necessary, in order to keep
up the value of slave property in the South
ern States, to institute rigid system of es-
pionage upon the acts of the whole commu-
nifty, in order to suppress any sentiments
that are not in perfect accordance with the
Divinity of Slavery. Cases like the follow
ing are very frequent--only they are more
generally accompanied by an application of
tar and feathers to the luckless wight who
has thus presumed to express opinions not
in harmony with the increase of the price
of negroes
'Mr George W. Vestal, one of the North Caro-
lima subscribers of the National Era. has been
elected from employment as common school
teacher in Alamance county, North Carolina, in
consequence of his Anti Slavery views. 1t seems
that the local board desired to retain him, but
they were overruled by the General Board of the
county. 1t thus appears that the non-slavehold-
ing whites of the South cannot employ such
teachers for their children they prefer without
the consent and appreciation of the slaveholding
class in other neig hborhoods, who are in no wise
interested.
We presume that this Mr.. George w.
Vestal is related to persons of that name
living in this vicinity, and perhaps to 9TH
er emigrants from North Carolina to this
section. If so, we shall be obliged to them
for statement concerning this young man
