Editors North Carolina Standard:
GENTLEMEN-Enclosed are resolutions relative to
the removal of Judge Lorng from our Law Profess
sorship on account of his action in the notorious
Burns slave-case This anatical piece of proscrip-
ton was mainly accomplished by means of the
Knoo Nothing party now in power in this State.
If any Southerner will but observe how completely
this new party in New England is anal ganated with
every ism" that threatens disgrace and ruin to our
country, he will use every effort to crush out its
upshot existence These resolutions were passed by
a large majority of the law students, and publica-
ton of them i'll your valuable journal will greatly
oblige
A NORTH-CAROLINIAN.
JUDGE LoRING AND THE DANE LAW ScHooL.-At
q meeting of the assembly of the Dane Law School
at Cambridge on Friday evening, March %, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions, introduced by
gentleman from Massachusetts,, were adopted by
very large majority:
Whereas The corporation of Harvard University
appointed the Hon. Edward G. Loring lecturer in
the Dane Law School, and the overseers have arbi-
traily refused to confirm the same therefore be it:
Resotred, by us, members of the Dane Law
School, in assembly convened, that we fully concur
in the opninion of the corporation by their cleo
ton expressed, that the personal worth, intellectual
and legal abilities and requirements of Mr. Loring
eminently qualify him for the office of lecturer.
Resotred, That Mr.. Lorings system, ofinstructon-
comprising clear analysis of common law princi-
Piles, and an exposition of their reasons and appli-
cations, enriched by copous illustrations from the
civil law-was calculated, to degree to afford
a knowledge of the topics discussed, at once broad
and minute; and we deeply regret his removal as
bringing loss to ourselves and the science ofaw.
Res0lred, That regard the rejection of Mr..
Loring as tending to restrain the freedom ofjudical
opinion and as sanctioned neither by justice nor by
arise policy.
This action of the school-thc parties most inter-
ested in Mr.. Loring's removal-will more than COM
pensate him for the insult conveyed in his rejection
by the board of overseers.
THE New POSTAGE LAw-Every one should re-
Al. a..
tion and that the letters upon which the postage is
not e-paid will remain in the Post Office and final
ly be sent to the deal letter department. We may
also suggest to letter writers the property of enclo-
sing Post Office stamp when writing on their own
business, and requiring an answer. Many disap-
pontments will be suffered from a want of this
cessary precaution, now that the new law requiring
the pre- payment of letters has gone into effect.

and great intelligence Says the Washington Sentin-
ely who has always been firm Virginia w hig thus
closes private letter:
evil it not surprise you when | tell you that |
intend voting for Henry A. Wise? do so, because
of the valiant service he is doing against the Know
Nothing party, which believe to be one of the most
dangerous organizations we have ever had in the
South. 1 sorry to see the Wings of Virginia
afiating with such party which will not only ru-
in, but degrade them. "
