REMOVAL or JUDGE LORLNG.

REMOVAL or JUDGE LOhiNo'
To ne Editor Of TAs y. T'ieu"A
Sir: The Committee Oh Federal Relations In the
s.lsture have reported in favor 9th
removal Of JUDI Lorpg for his action in the Buras
Gaze. This is one step toward consum nation de-
youtly to be wished by every lover Of liberty. Its
not too much to say that the eyes Of the whole coua-
try are nos fixed the isue Of This Struggle which
i. going on il Mss.act use'ts Within that State the
cortest &c. mr. to be- ss far ss we can ju3ge from
pretty intimate acquaintance With its public senti-
ment, between an overwhelming majority Of the peo
ole the one side, and the Curtis family and few
lawyers on the ober.
Tbis being the Gaze, stranger to Massachusetts a.
fars would suppose that could be 10 doubt about
the removal Of the slave catching Judge But this
does Lot seem 80 certsin 10 those who know that ua
within very short tine Poiis wa not France more
literally than Boston was Massachusetts, aad the Car
tie family were Boston. OF this Curiis family, quite in
significant in the mselves but made formidable by set
til up 10 be the representatives. OF the moaey-poFer
in its most obnoxious and revolving form, Eivard G.
Loripg lie a near connection by marriage Hence all
those powerful influences which lesgued twice With
the slave poweI-oDce under Web-t.r, ia ls5l and
orce III der Caleb Cushing, in ls5i-to degrade aaa
humble Massachusetts, are now combined to prop up
be functionary who conented to hide the pure er nine
Of a State magistrate under the black and crimson
robe Of a slaVe linguistic r.
No department Of the Government in Massachu-
sets bas been perfectly subdued TO the behess OF
the money king its life tenured judiciary. The de-
csicns Of the Supreme Court have been much ofteoer
the dull echoes Of bspk vaults than the clarion voices
Of Justice snd Liberty. An alliance offen'ive and
defensive has therefore grown up bet Tesn Safest
and the lobby of the Supreme Court room, which
cumipa.ed in the Sins case opinion e,ariog the
Fugitive Slave Act constitutional From that mo-
nent that branch of the slave interest which is en-
camped in Boston, felt that its truest frends and
sirope EFT hope to be found in the State judiciary
The people Of Massachusetts, it felt were readyt)
turn and rerd It, The Legislature was not to be
trusted. The Executive, though generally suoserv-
ent was yet weak and capricious. Ony 10 the State
Judges, secure from popular indignation by their
tenure Of bresponsibilry eoub secure by popular
reverence for the bench, which in that Safe, Dor
rowed from England, approaches superstition, and
Wiling and eager to be vsssa's Of the cotton interest,"
only in these Judges could Slavery INTERESTINGLY
cobfde.
II was, therefore, stroke Of matchless and char
ac.eiisic audacity, not only TO seize the moment OF
the passage of the Nebrs bill against whose enor-
mites all parties in the State reused to the
highest pitch OF just excitement, an auspicious
time to meet and break the spirit Of liberty, but to
select one of Der Judges to lay on the scourge
Just as Slavery liked Webster to gorfy the Fugitive
Slave Act and Teucey to strengthen. and Douglas to
bring in the Nebraska bill, and Cas- TO scout the
Wilnot Provso 80, by similar and exquisite refoe-
mept of scornful inpudence it would not be satisfied
that Burns tbould be dragged away from Boston by
a common, vulgar U. s. Commissioner, but chose
that Stbte Judge set apart by assachusets to the
holy work of protecting the widow and orphan,
should step down from that high tribunal and wallow
in this dirtitst of all oity work.
Ard yet, strange as it may seem. that portion OF the
Boston Press which opposes the removal OF this man,
is yDg out Justify about the independence and purity
of the judiciary All say is, that If Judicial
purity and Independence require that euch poor tools
Of Slavery as E. G Loring bs Kept on the bench in
Ma the least Of those alities they have
there al the quicker they get rid of them the better
Bot it looks now though neither the Curtises,
nor the awy ers nor the savehoders would be strong
enough to save their pet Instrument from getting in
stallmt mt No of that kind of pay which, we trust
has in reserve for those Of her officers
who oiversify their busnss 80 with. slavecatching.
Harvard COLES &c has shown him the door, and all the
people said Amen Let the State Government follow
the example of the College, and we will guarantee
Massachusetts from the presence of successful slave
hunter for generation.
We are informed that the vote of removal will pass
the House Of Representatives by a large majority,
and that all the probabilities are in favor of its pas
ssge by the Senate. If this be true think Judge
Loiipg Is done for. Governor Gardner voted reject
him from the College, and If he was unit to lecture
at the Law School, be certainly unfit for the Bench.
Whether the Executive Councillors ION whose advice
the removal must be made will set themselves 10 the
way Of the House, Senate Governor and people, par
tieularly when it is considered that they to be
elected next year for the first time by popular VOTE
j. not exactly known. II men in Massschu,otts are
much like men in other parts Of the earth we should
soy de.itedly-No.
We are glad to learn that Judge Loring's chances
have grown decidedly more slim since it became
known that Mr.. Sumner, Gen. Wilson, and the entire
delegation just chosen 10 represent Massachusetts in
the popular branch in Congress- are earnestly in favor
Of the removal. Yours, obedently,
MANY YANKEES
