Tie refusal of Gov. Gardner to comply with
the request of the Legislature, expressed with SO
much unanmity, to remove Edward Greeley
Loring from the Judgeship of Probate, after ne
has so fOully disgraced his position, which he
holds at the hands of the State completes the ig'
nominy which will forever surround the name o.
Henry J. Gardner, in the estimation of the hon
orable and liberal-minded Of all future generations
of Massachusetts, men.
In acting as he has done, Gov. Gardner has cut
himself aloof from the masses of his own party
the leading members of which in the Legislature
have We'd with the radical Republicans in Their
zeal for the passage Of the address, and other
kindred anti. slavery measures Of the session. ne
has conducted as he has, in order that ne may
ingratiate himself into favor with the bunker in
terest of Boston and vicinity, and ally himself
Herewith in the future.
Well, let him go. 1t is perfectly consistent
that one of the body guard who volunteered as
sistance in the consignment of Thomas Sims to
slavery, should come to the rescue of the man
who sat as Commissioner in that inglorious work.
Really, we had no right to expect anything better
of the man who, as member of the Boston City
Council in 1851, drew up and advocated these Ill
ira pro-slavery resolves, committing the city to
violation of the State laws by pstructing the au-
thorities of the city to aid and abet the authors
ties at Washington in their work Of slave catch
ing.
It is now hoped that those members of the
American party, in the Legislature and out, who
have batlled with US for those anti-slayery meas
ures, against the accomplishment of which the
Executive influence has been thrown, will be will
ing to cut aloof, once and forever, from the lead
of Henry Us Gardner, and leave him to 60
his way with the hunkers, democratic or other
wise,) whom he has more pleased, by his course,
than he has the majority of his own party.

THE HE1RHsa OF GnEaNHuRsr. An Al

THE HEIREss OF GREENHuRsT. An Auto
biography. By Mrs. Ann H. Stephens.
The "Heiress of Greenhurtt," while widely
different from the previous novels of Mrs. Ste.
phens in subject and locality, is not unlike them
in intense interest of plot, brilliancy of mag
nation, fertility of incidents, variety of charac-
ter, and passionate eloquence of style. Its more
comprehensive in range than her other books,
and the subject affords greater scope for the
exercise of her vivid imagination. 1t awakens
an immense interest," which its photographed
form "a style always popular) serves greatly to
heighten; while its remarkable plot, its splendid
group of characters, its unhackneyed incidents,
its passion, its pathos, and its humor, render it,
in our Judgment, the authors masterpiece. For

ruff, Esq, her father-in- law, to sweep, Soon
after she went into said room, the family were

soon as possible, rushed into the room, and
found her lying against the wall of the room,
the broom under the right side of her head,

the heart. She never spoke after she received

gun by the muzzle, and in the act of bringing
it from its position, the hammer struck against
