Removal of JUDGE LOrlnp.

The most bitter and unaltering spirit of New England
fanaticism has trumphed, and Edward u. LOring has
been removed from the office of Probate Judge of Mas
sachusetts because as United States Commissioner he
delivered up the negro Anthony Burns, in obedance to
the plain mandate of the statute. This is " the head
and front of his offending Ex-Governor Gardiner very
properly refused while he nsoce to sanction such
traitorous move and it has remained for the supple
and popularity hunting n. p Banks to cap the climax
of Massachusetts shame aud degradation. The State
has now sclemny repudated her allegiance to the I'm
ion practically she is at this moment traitor in the
cOnlederacy and Congress ought Immediately to refuse
her Senators and Representatives voice in the nation
al councils Massachusetts is open to actual rebel
lion She has repudiated and nuied the laws of the
Union and tramples under foot the solemn agreements
which she entered into when she accepted the United
States Constitution. Sumner, Wilson, Burngame and
the other old who represent her should be mmed
ately sent home They have no business in Washington
at ALL Theirs has thrown off her allegiance to the
Constitution and stands forth the attitude of defiant
rebellion. AS for Governor Banks not surprised
at his course A man who advocates the absorption
of the negro by the white and is willing to let the
Union slide, equal to any crime against his country
There is but step to place Massachusetts, where
she properly belongs Let her be annexed to Canada

SUCKING Up WATER FROM SAND.-Livingstone
the African traveller describes an ingenious method by
which the Africans obtain water in the desert
The women tie bunch of grass to end of reed
about two feet long, and insert in hole dug deep
the arm will reach then ram down the wet sand firmly
around it. Applying the mouth to the free end of the
reed, they form a vacuum in the grass beneath in which
water collects and in short time rises to the mouth
1t will be preceived that this simple but truly philo
sophca and efectual method, might have been applied
in many cases. in different countries where water was
greatly needed to the saving of life. 1t seems wonder
ful that it should have been first made known to the
world and that it should have been habituay practiced
in Africa probably for centuries 1t seems worthy OF
being particularly noticed, that it may no longer be
neglected from ignorance It may be highly important
to travellers on weston deserts and prares, in
parts of which water is known to exist below the
face"

KANsAs.-The Washington correspondent fthe Rich
mond South writes
The feeling Of Southern members of Congress at the
prospect of the admission of Kansas is various and by
no means one of unmixed satisfaction. A distinguished
South Carolina member has declared to that in
sequence of the freeso cOnrivance of Mr. Calhoun he
should vote against the admission of Kansas under the
circumstances he did not wish to incur the responsible
y with which the South might hereafter charge its rep
resentativeso voting virtually for the admission Of
free State in disregard ofjustice to their section
This view your correspondent has expressed substan
TALLY in former communications The South has nothing
of sectional interest to gain by the admission of Kansas
Under Cahouns decision, it would, in the very act of
coming into the Union, be free State and it would
be represented at the capital by factionss who would
laugh at deusons-that there was to be no more
controversy about Kansas.
But the other hand, the South, integral part
of the Republic has interest in favor of the admission
Of Kansas into the Unon simply because it would be
vindcation of constitutional principle and triumph
of law and order faction For the sake of this not
the South peculiarly, but the party representing law
and order and the conservatism of the country sum-
moned to vote for the measure. On this ground the
Lecompton Constitution should be passed, and with all
possible expedition, too the matter has already much
to the blame of the dominant party, been suffered to lin
ger too long, and to encounter unforeseen possible dan
gers.

Purchase of Cuba.

The Havana correspondent of the Charleston Courier
is OF opinion that the purchase the Island of Cuba by
our Government, at any price is utterly impracticabe
He assigns the following reasons for his belief:
lst. Because of the monopoly afforded in Cuba to
Santander for the sale of her -four and to Catalonia of
her wine, manufactures, &c.
I'd Because of the opportunity afforded by the re-
tenon of Cuba by Spain, to reward the adherents of
the Spanish Government by giving them places of pro-
tit IN Cuba while at the time the Island also serves
as place to which parties who considered dangerous
to the Spanish Government may be sent and thus for
the time got rid Of without giving just cause of offence
" Sd. All Spanards, matter what may be their
condition in life look upon Cuba (rom the first hour of
their manhood) bright polar star which points to
future greatness, land of promise flowing with
milk and honey where fortunes are easily attained.
"4th. Spaniards holding Office, Or being engaged in
mercantile pursuits in Cuba afford the means of sub
sistence to their poor relations in Spain, who of
to the sale of the Island whence they
derive their almost sole source of support which would
probably be withdrawn were the Island sold.
" 9TH The pride which predominates in the Spanish
breast almost to the exclusion of every other passion
naturally desires the retention of this Queen of the An
TILES by Spain, being almost the sole remaining
possession of the splendid empire of which Spain
the mistress in this hemisphere.
These force to arrive at the conclusion
above stated and think they but lead any unbas-
ed mind that may peruse them to to similar con-
clusion
