REMOVAL OF JUDGE LoR1NG

The most bitter and unatering spirit of New
England fanaticisra has triumphed, and Edward
q. Loring has been removed from the office of Pro-
bate Judge Of Massachusetts,, because, as the
United States Commissioner, he delivered up the
negro, Anthony Burns, in obedience to the plain
mandate Of the statute This is "the head and
front of his offending" Ex-Governor Gardiner
very properly refused while he was in office, to
sanction such traitorous move, and it has remain
ed for the supple and popularity hunting n. p.
Banks to cap the climax of Massachusetts shame
and degradation. The State has now solemnly
repudiated her allegi ance to the Union, practically
she is at this moment traitor in the confederacy
and Congress ought Immediately to refuse her Sena-
tors and Representatives voice in the national
councils Massachusetts, is now open to actual re-
bellion. She has repudiated and nullifed the laws
OF the Union and tramples under foot the solemn
agreements which she entered into when she ac-
cepted the United States Constitution Sumner,
Wilson, Burlingame and other old women who
represent her ought to be Immediately sent home
They have no business in Washington at all. Their
State has thrown off her allegiance to the Constitu-
ton, and stands forth in the attitude of defiant re-
bclon. AS for Governor Banks, we are not sur
prised at his course. A who advocates the
''absorption" of the negro by the white race and
is willing to let 'the Union slide" is equal to any
crime against his country. There is but one more
step to place Massachusetts, where she properly
belongs. Let her be annexed to Canada forth

REV. FRANCIS Z. HAWKS.

A correspondent Of the Richmond Wing, speaks
as follows of Rev. DIR. Hawks:
One of the most remarkable men I have ever
known, is hard at work on his new volume of the
History of North Carolina. | repeat it, DIR. Hawks
is certainly remarkable man. How he can pos
sby find time to write anything in the share of
solid history is surprising to all who know him.
Imagine an author seated at table in the deep Sc
cllsion Of his study, remote from the accustomed
walk of the house, and secure from intrusion ex-
cept through his family servants, deeply engaged
in intricate point, which has probably puzzled
the brains of many before him. In the very midst
of his profoundest study, call comes which will
take no excuse, no evasion, no put off. In less
than an hour another comes: in FIVE minutes anoth-
CT; in half hour still another and so on goes the
day. And as goes this day, goes tomorrow, and
the next and the next. They are his parshioners
and will not be put off, What can any mon do
under such circumstances? DR.. Hawks is emil
nently literary man, he is close student and
profound thinker, he could never accomplish
the one-twentieth part of that which he does so
we'll His Japan Expedition is a colossal monu-
ment to his name [ saw him the other day, an
hour before he went to administer the last sad of
fee to his departed friend, the late Com. Perry.
He spoke eloquently and impressively of his asso-
citation with, and admiration Of the man. I re-
gard DR.. Hawks as altogether the most profound
student in American History, that this or any
other country has ever produced. If it were not
robbing the Church, [ would rejoice to sec this
eminent divine transplanted into an appropriate
Chair of History, in either the University of Vir-
ginia, whittier my heart yearningly turns to old
Yale, or Harvard. This would be field fitted to
the display of his splendid requirements.
