Judge Loring Removed

THE CONTUMACIOUS JUDGE REMOVED ….  JUSTICE AND RIGHT TRIUMPHANT

‘The deed is done’.   In spite of all the devices of the enemies of freedom to shield the contumacious Judge from popular condemnation, by insolent ridicule and scurrilous misrepresentation of the abolitionists  — by changing the issue and perverting the record  — by artful appeals to vulgar prejudice and complexional hatred – by unscrupulous lying and satanic malignity – by coaxing, wheedling, bullying, anathematizing the Republican party in this State, now declaring that it would not dare to do the deed, through skulking cowardice, and anon complimenting it as too upright and too patriotic to give any countenance to such a measure — Edward Greeley Loring has been removed from the office of Judge of Probate for Suffolk County!…….  ‘The deed is done.’
