Wehave noticed in several q ourfxchangs pa
pers editorials somewhat ensuing the Orange
Prsbytep for removing The caldwellInsiituse from
GrcensbOrOugh. and one Of them went 80 Car a. 10
ny hat The action vas wanting IN christian cha
rity." II i natural that sympathy should have
been excited in behalf Of ,GcensborOugh.-the
character and enterprise Of rs inhabitants and its
rapidly improving condition had given Il an impor-
lance ofwhich the western part q the state had b.
gan b feel prsud.-bui az the sane time We might
have expected that the action Of Presbytery would
not have been thus spoken Of, and thus partially
condemned. We have nothing 70 say against the
proceedings IN GreensbOrough; what they have
done was natural, and we expected Il. The cdr !
tors Of the Patriot, too in all tst they have said,
have manifested the same courtesy and prdcncein
this emergency, which has been their characsers-
tic from the outset oftheir career as editors. Inns
much, however, as the publications. 10 which we
have alluded may lave made sone impression up
on the public mind unfavorable % the Presbytcg,
we copy the following from the Grccnsborough
PstriO,, which, though no, wniienfor The purpose,
Is complete justification Of the removal, the pub
lie being TIM judge. The Patriot is drawn out by
an article in tho Danvilk Reporter and speaks
thus;
i The Reporter thinks our citizens are
giving too much consequence TO the action
Of the Presbytery, by their town meet

lports of sickness here, had baencirculated

nobody could be found responsible. These
lrumors were as pervading, and as intangt

foundation; they had become sensitive on
the subject. A citizen could not 60 into

nothing but the truth.

how can the Presbytery be accused Of "injustce

The case is strongly put BY the editors Of =
