JUDGE LORING.

The legislature of Massachusetts is moving in its
course Of violence and persecution The just indignation
excited all the country by the disclosures relating
the nmnnery committee has not it moderated in
the least the spirit of Intolerance The constitutional oats
Of the Judge and the rights Of and the reside
alike be oyerihrowr and rampled upon The facts
The before already familiar to readers,
Judge Loring is Judge in Massachusetts, and for long
period of years has filled the Office with dignity ability
and aithulness During the intense Burns excitement
year ago in Bostonwhen the law and its appointed guar
dams resisted by armed mobs and Batcheder
the police officers in attendance, murderedwhen the
fury OF sanatcism threatened all who stood up for
the laws and eonstitntion--Judgc Loring firmly and
earlessly did HIS duty He fulfilled his official oath main
tanned the law and remandcd the fugitive to his But
this act high and worthy twas for him the hatred
and vengeance Of the nbolitionsts He had committed
high treason against their rnethe unorgivabe offence
from whose consequences nothing should protect him. The
elections fall which threw the State by helm
ing majority into the hands of the abolition and know
nothing fusion gave warning of his fate He pro-
lessor of law in Harvard University yet here this
honored sanctuary of literature and science the fell spirit
pursued and wreaked its purpose upon him. He eject
ed from his by board which the knownothing
abolition governor Of Massachusetts presided This was
the first but vengeance not yet satisfied. He
next assaied in his Office Judge The was brought
forward in the legislature and referred to committee
which promptly reported in favor of his expulsion But
give the all the dignity of cool delberaon and make
heavy the impending blow the the
again the committees within the last few days it has
ported back with the recommendation before and
the question being taken the house adopted it, By vote of
2oT TO Ill.
There scarcely be doubt that the and gov
ernor will concur in the resolution for both are but parts
Of the machinery and aecompces in the
spracy aud then nothing will remain but execute upon
the devoted bead Of faithful and upright magistrate the
decree Of fanntical vengeance
We are reminded in pcrusng the facts Of this case Of
incidents in the history of other times which have
come down 10 rs branded with infamy and shame The
banshmeni Of "the just Arstdes by the sentence OF
fierce and tickle democracy and the trial and imprisonment
Of The bishops in the bigoted reign of James IT. do
present circumstances heinons It, indeed
that the shores Of America have the
follies and crimes Of bygone days The very fe-bood
and Of tyranny that ii serve obedience
from is oticiasihat the and dictates Of duty in
the magistrate ted beneath the fear of the oppressor
What then shall be said Of Commonwealth which boasts
itself free and yet is controlled by bitter faction
that the minister the law dare not dispense Justice
without falling under its fury Ii is and real
despolism any that tramped upon right II the
irresponsible souess despotsm Of the bare majoy,he
mob
But the fate Of Judge Lorng another point OF inter-
est We believe that II Is the first time in the history Of
the country when devotion the constitution and the
guaranteed rights OF the South the part Of Judge has
been subject OF legislative inquisition Our institutions
have been asaed in every other quarter before
has abolition eyorted Submission from the Judiciary
Never before has the Legislature of State been converted
into instrument of compelling its citizens to dsre-
gard the constitution and join the crusade against
Massachusetts, has set the example in this further step Of
aggression She will not stand long alone If Judge
Alright the signs Of the times Well may the South ask
Who friends At the North ?"
