Worcester daily spy., 1858-03-10

| For these reasons, in the opinion of the
committee, the Legislature is called upon to
address the Governor to remove Edward
Greely Loring from the office of Judge of
| Probate for the County of Suffolk. They do
not feel obliged to base the grounds for his re-
movnl upon the law of 1885, and indeed to
establish the validity of these grounds, in
their opinion it is not necessary to regard that
| law, except so far as it is deelaratory of the
sentiments of the people If that law is con.
stitutional it is sufficient to say that its vio-
| ia ton is valid reason tor the address. If it
is unconstitutional they hold that the princi-
| pie so long acknowledged, which dictated its
| enactment, is also abundant cause and justf-
cation.
Ample notice has been given to Judge Lor-
ing of the wishes of the people, as expressed
through their representatives, and ample time
afforded him to respect and to yield to them.
While Judge of Probate he still holds the Of
fee of United States Commissioner, in def
ance of the sentiment of the Common wealth,
and his removal by address is the only reme-
| dy which the Constitution acknowledges or
| provides.
Your committee therefore respectfully rec
ommend that the accompanying address be
sent to the Governor requesting him, with
the consent of the Council, to remove Ed
ward Greedy Loring from the office of the
Judge of Probate for the County of Suffolk.
And your committee further recommend
that joint committee, consisting of two on
the part of the Senate and five on the part of
the House, be appointed to present said ad-
dress to the Governor.
Here followed a copy of the
ADDRESS
To HIS Ereelleacy Nathaniel P. Banks, Coz
ernoy of the State of Massachusetts,.
The two branches of the Legislature in
General Court assembled respectfully request
that your Exccllency would be pleased, with
the consent of the Council, to remove Ed
ward Greely Loring from the office of Judge
of Probate for the County OF Suffolk.
Signed by Messrs. Davis and Cornell OF the
Senate, and Messrs. Churchill, Stevens, Par
ker, and Arnold of the Senate.
A minority report signed byMr. Page of
the House the only dissenting member of the
committee contains reiteration of the stale
arguments of the hunkers and Union. savers,
that Massachusetts, law and the Massachu-
sets Bill of Rights should yield to the de-
mands of the Federal Government, in favor
of ro-catching, &c.
SENATOR DOUGLAS. s.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Manchester On. H. } amer.
ican, writing March 5, says;
"Mr. Douglas is lighting the Lecompton
battle with more faithfulness, if possible, than
our own generals. For that reason if for no
other, he should not be subjected to any at
tacks by Republicans. Whatever his past, he
is sure to do us great service in the future.
He said openly AND manfully recently, 'Let us
first break down the savish administration
and then the p0t0er aohSch eIgSIdUeS all 0daiaiS-
trGtioRS. There is no man in the Senate COM
petent to measure swords with him in a run
ming debate. Finer orators there are, and,
perhaps, greater statesmen, but not a man
who is so ready in debate, so quick of retort,
so overwhelming in both attack and defence
The CAPTURE OF CANroN.-The Canton
correspondent of the New York Times, writ
ing December 80, gives some additional par
ticulars respecting the capture of the city by
the English and French
''At about l A. M. yesterday, the two forts
on the nights in the rear of the town were as
saulted and taken by the combined English
and French forees-only a moderate loss on
their side. The Chinese resisted .stoutly, US
ing mainly, small arms in their defense AS
usual "a pun Lle dbsdiAdulS entering Lne lOrtSs
they fed. The British and French entered
the city yesterday afternoon by escalade, and
met with a stout resistance from some twen-
ty thousand Chinese and five thousand Tar
tar troops. AT the time of the Firm leaving
yesterday (4.30 P M } the fighting was still
going on; the Chinese suffering defeat in ev-
cry quarter. Amongst the killed on the side
Of the British was Capt. Bates, Post Captain
in the Royal Navy, and Lieut.. Hacket Of the
same service. Both officers Were killed prior
to the assault, whist reconnoitering. The
opinion is with the officers of the Firm that
the city will be totally destroyed the death of
Capt. Bates having exasperated Admiral Sey-
mour very much"
The correspondent also says:
"The United States squadron is disposed as
follows San Jacinto and Minnesota, at Hong
Kong Portsmouth, Macao. The last named
vessel was sent over at the request of num-

ously alarmed at the immense number of
Chinese congregatng there. think that for
eigners in every foreign settlement in China,

The Minnesota goes to Macao on the 30th,
repairs on her machinery having delayed her
departure for that place for some time"
The gnow storm on Monday night appears to
have extended over wide range of country In
this vicinity, the amount of snow which fell
was about six inches: At Boston it fell to
depth of from eight to ten inches, and the sleigh
ing might be considered good, At New York
there was high wind, but in this section Of the
country but very little.
GEN JACKSON AND PRESIDENT BUCHANAN
New evidence Of the ill-esteem in which Gen.
Jackson held Mr.. Buchanan is given in
Cincinnati journal, accompanied with such
circumstantiality in the details Of its authority
as to justify credit. Besides it agrees with
other recollections of old Jacksonian demo-
