Boston, March 1O.-The Advertiser,
commenting upon the removal of
Senator Sumner, says: "Whatever
loss of sympathy he may have sus-
tanned by his extreme course on the
San Domingo inquiry, would be doub-
Iy restored to him by all who believe
in fair and open warfare, even with an
enemy; nor do we believethe country
would sustain the attempt To prejudice
the San Domingo question or any
other seriously affecting our relations
with foreign countries by packing
committees in advance, solely Or
mainly with reference to them. Much
as we have differed from Mr.. Sumner,
and as unjust As he is in his intOler-
encc of dissent, we believe the country
is with him on the question of annex
ing II of the tropical islands while
their governments mo
themselves except under the shadow
of our wal ships, and the people have
no of expressing their free
choice, andthough there may be some
qualification in fastening a personal
slight upon Mr.. Sumner. we do not
think that when the issue is fairly
made up the fact that Mr.. Cameron
speaks tor the Foreign Committee. and
Mr.. Sumner simply the Senator from
Massachusetts, will materially alter
the results

We cannot, therefore. consider the
removal of Mr.. Sumner from the
craftsmanship OF the Committee on
Foreign Relations as an outrage or
anything of the SORT; Vet we will not
conceal our profound regret thai any
such action should have been deemed
necessary or advisable. Mr.. Sumner

is eminently a Senator, and has earned
the love and trust of the American
people. We could wish that this
seeming indignity might have been
spared him.

the President and his friends.
From the y. y. Commercial Advertiser.
1t is a delicate matter to upheave Il

blow the Republican party has expert
enced since it gained the national
ascendency.
