SPIRIT OF THE ESS,


The Enquirer of yesterday is astonished at the
praise lavished by southern Know-Nothing papers
on Gov. Gardiner, of Massachusetts, after his hav.
ing voted to remove Judge Loring from Profee.
sorship at Harvard University, on account of his
stern administration of the law for the rendition of
fugitive slaves. Nothing but the sinister motive of
affecting the Virginia election induced him to veto
the removal of Judge L. and the personal liberty
BILL" To show the utter groundlessness of that
praise the Enquirer quotes from Gov G's letter to
Hon. Chas. Allen, In which he says "It Is not
true that am. or ever have been, in favor of the
fugitive slave bill. am an advocate of Its special
modification, or, In lieu thereof Its unconditional
repeal" The Enquirer also shows that the tele-
graph despatch from Washington was taken from
the local. not the editorial, column of the Union

forces by an overwhelming vote.

GEORGE LAW AND THE GRAPEsHoT.

GEORGE LAW AND THE GRAPESHOT.
The New York Sun says that the general
impression is erroneous that George Law
voluntarily equipped and dispatched his YES
sci, the Grapeshot, in pursuit of Baker, with.
out expectation or hopeof reward. The San
says that Judge Stuart, and those interested
in Bakers arrest, consulted Mr.. Law upon the
subject of procuring vessel The Grape
shot was then unemployed, and Mr.. Law and
Judge Stuart had an interview with Mayor
Wood, in which the matter of remuneration
for the Grapeshot's trip was introduced The
result of the conference was, that though the
Mayor could not engage positively that the
expenses would be borne by the city, Mr.. L.
need not have any reasonable doubt on that
score. There was besides the reward offered
by the Mayor for Bakers arrest, which would
be an item of some value. 80
From these facts the Sun concludes that
Mr.. Law sent the Crap eshot in the expecta-
tion that her cruize would not be the worst
of his many fortunate speculations. There
are others who charge that Mr.. Law had
higher aspirations than mere profit; that the
Grapeshot was sent in pursuit of the White
House as well as of Baker.
