QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
"The sages say dame Truth delights to dwell, Strange mansion! in the bottom of a well.
Questions are, then, the windlass and the rope That pull the grave old gentlewoman up." PETER PINDAR.
My friend, Mr.North, having read the foregoing letters, wrote me a note requesting me to come and spend an evening with him and his wife, and answer some questions occasioned by these letters.

The lady was earnest that I should do so.
After being seated before a cheerful fire in my friend's house, while it was raining violently, so that we felt defended from all interruption, my friend said,-- "Here, first of all, is the Southern lady's letter to her father, which, I suppose, belongs to him, and which you may wish to send back." "I do," said I.
"But, please," said Mrs.North, "let it be published.

It would be a pro-slavery tract.

It would abate Northern zeal against the 'sum of all villanies.' Something should go forth with such representations to correct their influence in the Free States.
