Of the nrobate court Of the county OF Suf-
folk, In that State, of Edward Greeley Loring.
/ The mere removal Of the man is matter OF
/ little consequence. We see men 90 out OF
Office every day without much, II any feeiing'
When al the commencement OF the session the
| little mage boys were sent some to their wild
owed mothers, under the stress Of party disei-
pIine. confess that my sympathies were sf-
/ fecfed tenfold more deeply than by the re-
moval Of this gentleman, who is known to me
only in his public character. But the Cause
/ FOR which be was removed Is matter OF higher
consideration, matter which concerns US 10 no.
tice What is the cause That he has been
unFsitbful in the exercise Of his Office? That
widows and orphans have suffered under bis
administration Of the affairs Of bis court
Not at all; not at al. But because, some four,
1--WE or six year ago, be assisted, in the eharae-
ter Of a commissioner OF the United states, un-
der the act Of Congress known as the Fugitive
slave law. in restoring to gentleman IN VIZ
ginla a slave who bad escaped and taken
refuge in Massachusetts.
Mr.. Hall, Of Mass. Will the gentleman
allow me to correct him.
Mr. MAYNARD. My time is nearly ex-
hsusted
Mr.. Hall, of Mass. / wish to correct
statement made by the gentleman.
Mr.. MAYNARD Ms time is nearly out ana
must 90 on. am sorry indeed to seem even
disobIiging. I am not so. ! wish had time
to hear all the gentleman has to say. If the
removal OF Judge LJring is susceptible Of ex-
pIanatiOR would be gla that Il should Oe ex-
planned, but cannot Yieldfor that purpose now
Mr. HALL, OF Mass. wish to correct him
as to point Of fact.
Mr.. MAYSAKD. cannot yield
Mr.. Hall, Of Mass. Judge Loring was re-
moved for the violation OF a State law.
Mr.. MAYNARD. The State Of Massachusetts,
has, through al the departments Of her gov
ernment, her Legislature, and her chief Exec
utive, decided that the citizens Of slave State
shall not have their constitutional right upon
the soil Of Massachusetts ! care very little
about that. / presume that there are few peo-
pie Of the South who care to 90 into Massa-
chusetts, but fear this is going to result in re-
taliation from the South. fear it.
have remarked privately TO gentlemen who
represented that State upon this -four. and !
tell them publicly now, that before they are
aware of It they may find their State out OF the
Union. The people OF Massachusetts do not,
like the people OF the South, stay at home to
attend 70 their business. The people OF the
South, when they go abroad, go for pleasure,
rarely for business. The people Of Massacbu- |
setts, on the costrary, are all ever the world. |
They have business, and much business, In the
South. How easy woult 1t be for the people
OF the different Southern States, as one Of them
ing the citizens Of Massachusetts, so that they |
should have no locus stGndi IN cEria, no legal |
remedy for the protection either Of life or
property so that no Massachusetts vessel |
should be protected from pillage if she land |
ed upon the southern coast by accident or
otherwise so that not a solitary article of
Masss ehusetts manufacture should be sold |
there? I might go on and show that these |
measures of retaliation are practicable that |
they can be done. But | should be sorry TO /
see when they are done.
You may say that such policy would be |
unwise, that it is impolitie and Unconstitutional
would be very sOrry-and say it here with |
out hesitstiOn-tO see such policy adopted, |
aud would resist it as unwise and injudicious. |
But, sir, | know very well that there are prom /
inent men who differ from me in the matter Of |
policy and the matter Of propriety. These /
things, toe, never stop with the act itself |
There is always a result and consequence |
which you cannot trammel up, which /, as |
citizen OF our eommon country, would depTe- 4
cate and deplore. | am one Of those who have /
no belief in dissolution OF the Union as a /
remedy for the evils under which we suffer. |
10 my Judgment, il is much wiser to
