Judge LOring Removed

Both Houses of the massachusetts,
Legislature have adopted an address
for the removal of Judge Loring, and
the Governor has complied with it. So,
at last the deed is accomplished. The
offence of Judge Loring was, that in the
capacity of the I'm ted States ommis-
%sioner, he heard the case of the fugi-
tive slave Anthony Burns, and remain
ded him to the custody of his owner, as
required by the act of Congress. This
gave offence to the Massachusetts abol-
~itionists, who demanded the release of
the negro, regardless of all laws, and
from year to year they have persisted in
prosecuting the Judge in that
would not have failed to draw demon
STATIONS of delight from their Quaker,
witch and cat han ing ancestors. His
removal has been 4 prominent measure
at each succeeding sess on of the Leg
islature, and ouce the necessary MAORI
ty was obtained; but the idea was so re-
~pulsive to the self respect Of Gov. Gard
ner, that he indignantly refused to
grant the request. But another Pha-
raoh has come p in Egypt, no knows
nothing about self-re pect. Nathaniel
P. Ban 8, the man who declared that
GIN a certain contingency he would be
willing to let the Union slide" has since
been elected Governor of the e%nlighten-
ed @ Common wealth of Massachu-
sets, and he willingly gives his assist
ancs to complete a work having for its
object The degradation of a State Judge,
because he had the courage, as United
States Commissioner, to faithfully exc
cute the laws of Congress. But Judge
Loring will not be degraded. The
whole crew of monomaniacs in the
Massachusetts, Legislature, with Nathan
z. Ban S to back them, cannot de-
tract one iota from his fair fame, though
they should dog his footsteps and vote
addresses of removal till doomsday.

from Missori, who reported tho BILL
Latterly this was the principle objcc-
ton made to the measure by the Black
Republicans and their allies, who stre-
n~ulously contended that the Constitu-
ton of Kansas, under the provisions of
the Lecompton CONSTITUTIONS could not
be legally changed before the year 1864.
They we'll knew that this was a strained
and false construction of hat instru-
mont: but having been boldly met and
v~anquished on all their other objections,
by the Democracy, they chung with per-
tinacity to this as the last plank in their
rickety platform, and rested all their.
hopes of success before the country on
this single objection. But the action
of the Senate has swept this s'refuge of

now left without a solitary place of shell

ton with which they are doomed to be
visited, sooner or later. ~

people in Kansas vote to accept that

Whereare Thayf


when the Philadelphia Convention,
which nominated that aspiring explorer,
John C. Fremont, for President, declar-
ed in the platform laid down for the par
ty TO stand on, that Congress had sover-
eign power over the Territories, and
could and ought to regulate their do
Inestic institutions in the face of the will
of the people, almost everybody thought
a principle was enunciated that the lead
ers would be willing to adhere to for a
Presidential term, at last. But it ap-
pears that almost everybody was mista-
ken; for now in the Senate, in the House,
in the columns of the newspapers, there
is no louder, more enthusiastic, or yehe-
ment shriekers for the doctrine
of popular sovereignty than these
same Republicans. They appear to
have forgot all about their platform
at Philadelphia They have no resol-
lection that they then and there declar-
ed that Congress had sovereign power
over the territorie.. and having such
powers, ought to exercise it. The twill
of the majority possessed n o musical
sound to their patriotic ears then but
now, forsooth, because the Democratic
party with tn. President at its head, de-
sires to bring Kansas into the Union
with a republican Constitution, legally
framed, these patriotic agitators are very
much afraid the principles of the Kan
sas Nebraska act, will be violated there
by, and the "will of the majority" set at
naught. In view of this, where VIC ask,
is the Republican party? If it was
right in 1856, when it rallied under the
flag of John Charles, it is wrong now.
If it is right now, it was certainly wrong
then. Probably our drifting" neigh
Dor Of the Register can answer this ques-
ton. But how is it with the Democra-
-cy? The answer is an easy one. They
stand where they have always stood
upon the doctrine of popular sovereignty.
The people of Kansas having adopted a
Constitution, and declared their desire
to enter the Union, the democratic par
ty desire to bring in the State, and thus
they give the new Commonwealth
a national habitation and a name, refer
back to the people themselves any differ
enc of opinion they may entertain in
regard to their domestic institutions.

The Republican Party.

"Whatshadows we are and whatshad-
ows we pursued" The republican par
ty, SO recently in. tho flush of manhood,
with :'youth and beauty and blood
and muscle, is now threatened with pros
tration and death! It was not a plane
tary star circled round by lesser orbs,
but it was a brilliant comet, with a We
ry long tail, which it switched about in
a most careless and frightful way. 1t
belonged to no system in particular,
but was one of those bodies which
seemed to have been made up of loose
material thrown off from other systems,
and was destined either to disappear al
together or be scattered into fragments
and distributed as dead matter, as they
say in the printing Office. 1t will be
a curious commentary, if this nebulous
mass of American politics should final
ly be broken up by a collision with a
little knot of know-nothings, and be alb
sorbed by them. Yet such are the
promises just now. There is no room
in this country, any more, for the re-
publicans, if Kansas is taken away from
them. There is certainly a propriety
in the republicans going over to the
Americans, because the latter have at
least one idea as a basis Of action; the
former having lost their stock in trade
are bankrupt in means and character.

AuOlher Change.

The Crawford County Forum, hereto.
fore a strong nti-Lecompton paper, and
one of the most influential journals in
the State, has come out in favor of the
admission of Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton Constitution. The editor says
When we come to examine critically
our position as an editor, and our duty
as a Democrat, and after giving the
Kansas question a thorough examina-
tiCn, feeling confident in our own minp
of the correctness of the Presidents pol
icy, we have concluded it was our duty
to stand no longer in an equivoeal posi-
ton but on the contrary to contribute
QUE mite to the sustaining of him whom
We used all our efforts to elect.
The Cincinnati Platform is our chos-
en- creed, and we regard the President
as true to its faith. We can place no
other construction on that Platform
than than the the admission of Kansas
under the Lccompton Constitution, is
demanded by it. We think Congress
should admit Kansas under that Con
stitution, as a duty they owe to the
peace and security of the country, and a
vindication of the Democratic policy of
o Intervention.
We think the admission of Kansas.
under the Lccompton Constitution, es-
sential to put an end to the disgraccful
strife that threatens not only the integ-
rity, but the very existence Of our other
wise happy Union.

Crittendcn,s Amendment.

This measure, as u readers viii
re~collect, was present, d>by Mr.. Critten
in the United States Senate, when tn
Bill for the admission of kansas was be
fore the body, and rejected by a yer!
decisive vote.
The same measure, in all its materia
features, was adopted by the House, OF
Thursday last, as an amendment to thu
Bill which came from the Senate.
The Senate rejected this amendment
by a vote of 80 to %.
The Black Republicans and theil
democratic al les in Congress, claim that
tn s Bill of Senator Crittenden is 1
measure of peace, and one that will eff
fectually put at rest, the agitation which
has SO long ~convulsed the nation on the
question of slavery in general and the
admiss on of Kansas in particular.
We do not put the least faith or con-
fdence in the proposition. As the = ash
ington Union we'll and truthfully OBJ
serves, the bill CT Mr.. Crittenden is not
a measure of peace, pacifcation, COM
promise, or settlement, but a. PandoFa's
box full of the Gagged elements of explos-
ion and strife. 1t is not an olive
branch, but an apple of discord. 1t is
not a measure for ending strife, but for
prolonging it indefinitely. s.r
It is voluminous in terms, but simple
in actual provisions. 1t provides that
the Lecompton constitution shall be
submitted to the white male inhabitants
of the Territory, resideing there three
months, and citizens of the United
States. Ifa majority approve, then Kan
sas is to be admitted as a State by
proclamation of the President.
If, on the contrary, a majority disprove,
then q convention is to be called to
frame q new constitution which, in
turn, is to be submitted to alike vote Of
the Inhabitants. There the bill ends;
for the new States will not come in by
proclamation in the event of an affirm
vote at that election; but is to be
held back to come before the next ses-
sion of Congress precisely in the nan
ner in which it has come into this,
with new charges of frauds between one
local party and the other, with new
examinations and determinations, and a
new session full Of Kansas speeches, and
nothing else.
The only way to secure peace to Kan
sas and the country at large, is for
the House to pass the Senate Bill.
Kansas will her come into the Union
as a sovereign State, and upon her own
people will devolve the entire response
bility in the future. We hope and
have faith that the Democratic majority
the House will adopt this course, and
thus put at rest forever this exciting
question.
