Nerllern Teachers in Southern
Schools.

AONHoSiSs
We are aware that much has
been said already uponI this subject,
but its importance is sufficient
apology, if any is needed, for again
bringing it TO the public notice. We
have long felt deep icterest in it,
and our attention has recently Seen
particularly called TO it, from the
fact that Mr.. Montague who for
some time HIS been employed in
the Hume School, Nashville, has re-
cenly returned TO bis Northern home
at Lockport, New York, and theIe
employs his time and pen in slaD-
-dering Southern people. This man
lived in Tennessee long enough TO
mike some money, and doubtless rep
resented himself as a good Southern
man. Now among bis Northern
friends, be is reviling Southern men
The fruit OF wbose patronage be is
erjO, ing.
If this was the only instance of
the kind, it would pet be SO bad;
but this is only one OF thousands.
We are over and over again remin-
dcd Of the benevolent individua
who warmed the frozen adder In bis
bosom, snd SO long as the Southern
people continue to employ Northern
persons as teachers just so long may
they expect such treatment.
Apart FROM the obvious reasons
Why ne should employ emily these
who are resrsd ia the South or
are fully inbued With Southern
principles, it Should be recolleetsd
that it is part ef tbs plsn Of our
Northern enemies 10 send persons
South cstensisly TO teach school,
but really to teach their edicus doe
trines, and disseminate their treas
onable work. They hope by such
means to corrupt the rising gener-
alton, aud they know that such
persons have more rssdy access to
slaves. 1t has only been within the
last few years, that the Southern
people themselves have taken the
position that slavery is right. The
farthest We can get Northern men
10 go, with a few notorious and
rraisewortby exceptions, is TO say,
that slavery is a necessary evil.
The effect Of such teachings upon
the impressibis minds Of children,
cannot but do the South HARM
Southern youths want neither their
manners, habits, nor principles, and
the best way 10 guard against them
is 10 keep them out Of our schools
and colleges. There is certainly plen-
ty Of good material in The South, "na-
tive aud to the manner born" " iih
which TO gil our places OF instruction,
from the humble log hut to the
proudest and most stately college
building. We are only half doing
what we ought 10 do in building up
Southern institutions OK learning,
and filing all the departments with
Northern men. Trustees and those
who have the supervision and
management Of Southern schools,
have net been as careful and guarded
upon the point az they should have
been. Let them now begin anew,
turn over a new leaf, write a new
chapter in Seuthen history, and take
another important step towards South
ern dependence.
