JUDGE LORING.

y
shot beyond all the assaults ever before made
on Southern institutions. Hitherto, amidst
the raging sea Of fanaticism, the judiciary
has lowered upward like q mighty rock,
proud and immovabie; but now, even this
rampant Of constitutional rights is beginning
to be submerged. Our readers all remem-
Der that Judge Loring, an able and faithful
Massachusetts Judge, who, for long time,
has filled that office with great dignity and
ability, during the Burns excitement year
ago in Boston, provoked the displeasure of
the abolitionists by maintaining the Law. and
remanding the fugitive negro to his master.
From that hour he was marked for ven.
geance. He held Professorship of Law in
Harvard University, the most famous seat Of
learning and science in the North, and from
this position he was removed by the Execu-
tive of the State, as the first penalty of his
fidelity to the constitution. The browning act
of vindictive malice has just been consum.
mated in the legislative resolution to expel
him from the Office of Judge:

"But the fate Of Judge Loring has another point
of interest We believe that 1t ia the first time in
the history OF the country when devotion to the
constitution and the guaranteed rights of the South
on the part of judge has been a subject of egis-
lative inqulsition Our Institutions have been
sailed in every other quarter but ne yer before has
abolition extorted submission from the judiciary.
Never before has the Legislature Of q State been
converted into instrument of compelling its own
citizens to disregard the constitution ard join the
crusade against US. Massachusetts has set the ex-
ample IN this further step of aggression. She will
not stand long alone, If Judge Alright the signs

Burns case goes, may now be considered as
complete. An officer of the law murdered,
