The Virginia politicians are attempting to turn
10 bad account the removal of Judge Loring, of
Massachusetts--an net, in all respects, ndefensi-
hle-hy kidding the Virginia Know Nothngs res
ponsiblc for this act of their alleged brethren in
Massachusetts. They strive to prove what
everybody must admit that Massachusetts is an
abolition State and has the notification of Fede-
raj laws, the characteristic little respect of aboli-
ton politicians. But in doing all this, they shirk
or omit tacis and consequences, that would con-
found their conclu sions If dwelt upon.
The aboli,onism Of Massachusetts is nothing
new. To make this removal Of Judge Loring
mean anything for the latitude of Virginia, It
must be shown that the Massachusetts Demoora-
cy, II II hnd been in power, would have done
othorwise--nnd it must establish the fact that

When the Democracy had power in Massnchu-
sctts, il sent Gifts If Mr.. Rantou to the United
States senate and it was the coalition of De-
mocrnoy and Abolitonism that elected the pres
ent Abolition Senator, Mr.. Sumner. For ten
years past, the Democracy of Massachusetts has
been aboiifioni.ed and when it had power, it has
cNcrted that power to abolitonize the State.
There Is no national conservative element in
Massachusetts Democracy-and between il, and
the Know Nothings of Massachusetts,, in this re-
spec, there is this to choose that as party act

prattle oi heirs about Judge Lorng is the mer-
est afieciation. If they have any sympathy with
him the way for them to show it is to induce Judge

when Mr. Buchanan comes home if he is ever
coming. that Judge Loring have his place.
If the President will only honor Judge Loring

one of the highest and most honorable Offices that
the United States can giye--thdt will be tho way
to put down Massachusetts abolition. But while
