Summers Removal.

The St. Louis Democrat has the following
in its Washington dispatches:
When Summers removal from the for
eign relations committee was first agitated
some two months ago. the opinion prevailed
in various quarters that his opposition to
San Domingo was mere preteNt for such
contemplated action. the real reason being
that the administration had plan of its
own for settling our international difficulties
with Great Britain. which 1t was well known
the Massachusetts Senator was violently
opposed tc.
When the movement to depOSe him then
failed, all suspicious Of this character COM
pletely died away.
In debate in the Senate last Friday. Mr..
Logan took occasion to again refer to this
subject in the following language: AT the
time the discussion occurred in the Senate
in reference to the settlement of the Ala
bama claims. the speech of the Senator
from Massachusetts was permitted to be
published all over the land. The seal of
secresy was broken: it was published. and
that speech was the text of every person in
the Republican party in this whole land,
with reference to the settlement OF the
Alabama claims with our mother coun-
try England But now, at the very time
that the high commission is meeting.

claims, perhaps on the principles enunci-
ated by the great statesman OF Massachu
setts, the Senate Of the United States de
poses him from the Craftsmanship of that
committee, and says to England: I'VE back
down from what we have said; We take
back what we have said; we decline to fur
ther stand by this man; we decline to stand
by the proposition that he enunciated be-
fore the country" We say to them, Gen

enuncated this principle before the coun
try, and we desert him now. Make your
propositions, differing however much they
may from that which has been suggested
to the country, and We give you evidence
new that we no longer will stand by him.
