Resignation of President Lord.

The announcement that the able and vonef-
able President Of old Dartmouth has resigned
the position he has so long occupied with 10 much
honor and usefulness, will be received wish
profound regret by every considerate man.
Probably no college In the whole country has
been managed with better judgment or greater
ability than Dartmouth. Indeed, when we con.
slider Its extraDeous attractions, in connection
With those of other and rival institutions, II is
perhaps, not too much to say that Dartmouth
owes the respectable position IL has always
maintained mainly to the skill and ability Of lie
management. There is but ono voice In regard
TO this matter--every one comedies the eminent
fitness Of President Lord for the position he
has held
The cause of his resiguation we understand
to be, vaguely, tnat the Trustees thought prop
er to make the action of certain MerrImack
county Abolition ministers the basis of some &C.
tlon in their own Board, perhaps condemning
the political views DR.. Lord ia known to enter.
tain. We do not understand that any sugges-
tion looking to change in the Presidency of
the college was made; but We can understand
why DR.. Lord should deem il incompatible with
his self-respect to remain in tho position one
moment after q majority Of the Trustees had
forfeited theirs by listening to the cavilings Of
q email coterie Of Abolition o!ergymen. No
action, 1t seems, was taken upon the letter of
resignation. We can but hope that the Board
will urge DR.. Lord to withdraw IL, and that he
will consent to do so
We have said great many times within the
last few years that Abolitionism 10 the cause of
most of our national and local troubles. Some
have thought, and many think even now, that
this is the exaggeraton OF passion. IL is not
IL is only when one is cool and dispassonate
that he can understand the enormity of its
crimes. Most of the moral delinuuencies of the
age belongs to it, for the devil has run riot while
the ministers have been "shrieking for free
dom" The fearful recklessness Of civil law
belongs to it, for the ministers have pointed to
"a higher laws" this war, with its untold and
immeasurable cslamities, belongs to It.. But
all this is not enough. 1t intrudes its blighting
presence into our only college, and sewers
relation between teacher and taught, which has
existed 80 harmoniously and 80 long that no
less malignant devil would have dared to assail
lt. ..7T
DR.. Lord isa man ofIthougkt--of independent
and comprehensive thought. He has measured
the negro question with rule and llne--perhaps
with disposition to harmonlze his views with
those entertained by the macs of his profession
al brethern. But while he thought, they ranted :;
aud the difference became wider. When he
saw to what end their madness was tending, he
spoke boldly and ably for the truth-but alas!
too late. md now these diminutive workers
OF ruin raise their heads from the wreck around
them, and demand that Dr.. Lord shall be
sacrificed for the fidelity of bis warnings -
