Slic3r can't do this. I believe Cura can, but otherwise you'd need to use a mesh editor like meshlab or maybe even netfabb.
The other option is to go back to the source program - such as openscad or sketchup - if that is how the object was created, and modify it there. If you only have an STL file, though, then you'll need the mesh editor.

Get netfabb basic like some one posted above, open the stl then move it how you want it, then save it as stl then open it slicer, slice it ding dang do the object the way you want it magic
