We stated, some time ago, that meeting
in North Carolina had resolved TO obtain, II
possible, from Mr.. Van Bufen and Judge
Barbour, the expression Of their sentiments
on the important topics of discus sion which
n"w agita,e the public mind The "Oxfoid
IN O. Examiner" of the 10th inst. states,
that '.Mr. Barbour has promptly responded
to the call of the Shocco Meeting, giving bis
opinion upon the great questions which agi-
tate the nation This reply, IN justice to Mr..
Barbour and bis friends, ought to be pub
ished. We have good authority for saying
that the Judge denies notification 10 be the
rightful remedy for southern wrongs"
We wonder il Mr. Van Bnrea bas replied
with the same alacr'ty3-Vflez. Gas.
We have the replies of Messrs. Inrnan

Barbour do now?-It1d.
Sisters of Charity We early recorded the
noble example WHICH these generous and he

the christian world, IN tievoting themselves
to the performance OF their sacred duties a.
round thuse who were SICK or dying with the
pestence which has afflicted almost an the
nations of the earth In this country we
have seen with admiration their charity dis
