OF Xii, a curious instance has lately been e1-
tibi,et in the action of the Cambridge parliament
upon certain resolutions, introduced into that
mighty body, ceDsuripg the overseers Of Harvard
College for their late action, re,ultiDg 10 the re-
movsl of Judge LoIibg from his lectureship; and
spplJirg to the wounded feelings Of that ex lee
turer and martJrized slave.catcher the balm Of
syDpathizipg applause and approval. 1t WAS
in vain that the professors Of the school
sent word TO the parliamentary gentlemen not TO
mt ode win matter not within their provinces.
1t w,s 10 van tbs' the Anti Slavery minority
claimed the prO.,ction Of the gag which was
but poor Iule, they thought if 1t wouli not
work both vsys-s quality, no Tever, ia which
parliamentary rules are apt to be rather defec-
tive. 1t wss ia vain that the Speaker sb,n toned
bic chair and the Clerk resgning on the spot,
refused to call the roll. The majority or, rather,
the imall minority OF masters, with the aid Of
their majority of.ools, had resolved to pns the
thing through; and Of coprie, like their Con-
eressioI al prototypes, they were Cot to be letted
or bndered BY any small constitutional or legal
otjecticIs-not they that would have been quie
out Of character. And, that nothing might be
waiting to complete iris mimic representation Of
the wsy In which Fugitive Slave Acts aud Ne
brtsks bills are passed, they wind up with row,
in which bowie knives and pistols are drawn, sud
due number of assaults COMM ted. Promising
young pen Go forth, and take the seats (ftou
Alabama, Mississippi snd Illinos) which, ju-
venles as you are, you have already shown your
selves so fitted to gil Foote may have worthy
successor, ard even the per6dy OF the dwarf Of
Illinois may yet be eutd'ne!
Having thus buried Mr.. Edward G. Loring
with eli the honors, il remains to be seen what
reception those fast young men will give to Gov.
Wasbturn, bis successor. The corporation Of
the College, in making their appointment, seem
to have gone upon the principle of not changing
oil at once. They intend to come round from
Slavery to Anti-Slavery, slowly, and by just
degrees. If in thu famous rendition Of Barns,
Mr. Lcring performed the part of Kiog Ssork'
Iobody can deny that, on the same occasion, GOV.
Wasbburn performed to admiration the part Of
King Lcg-and, probably, it was the precedent Of
thatfamous royal succession-that, TO be sure was
fiog-pond, but a duck pond naturally enough
comes under much the same rues-which sug-
gested to the Corporation Of the College the
peIsoB VINO ought 10 be Judge Loiipg's successor.
We hope, however, that the young men of tina
Law School, satisfied With having indorssd
Judge Loripg and ipsulted the Overseers, will
subside for the present, into calm. Let them
bear in mind, that the tide OF Slavery has already
touched its CHEST marx, aud that tie tbb has
alresdy commenced. The order Of succession
used to be from King Log to King StOrk-frOm
tie an who stood by with his hands in his peck
cts 80 the man ready to act slave-cstcher in per-
son. That order is nov reversed, not only at
Cambridge, but at Washington slsO, aud indeed,
a. tbipgs look at Washington, King Log, be-
fore ,org, will 90 the way Of King Stork.
