There can be no doubt that the writer {" MARY
LAND" in the National Intelligencer of Saturday
is correct in his estimate that at least ninetynine
out of every hundred persons are resolved to main
tain the Union. Interested factonists may write
or talk treason, but the Union will remain firm.
Who is to dissoveit? Will Members of Congress
undertake the work Let them try it, and they
will find such an uprising of the masses as will
compel them to their duty. Will Garrison and his
despicable faction at the North put their hands to
the labor! They would be crushed by their own
neghbors Who, then, will dissolve the Union :
Who can dissolve it? None but those who are
most ardently attached to it: the ninety-nine out
of every hundred Of the people-the industrious,
laboring, and thriving people-and with them the
Union is, and will continue to be, safe from all
peril. The masses are becoming reused TO the
necessity of action, and they will come " to the
rescue" should fac,onists endanger the Coniedera
cy. On the list of "friends Of the Union may
be placed tie names of the Whoie acite population
Of Maryland. There will be no divided counties
no diversity Of opinion here-all will go for the
preservation of the Union under all circumstances.
And such, no doubt, will be the in most of the
States. We, therefore, consider it impossible to
dissolve the Union. Factionists may succeed in
producing disturbances, but they will be speedily
quelled and quiet restored.

THE TOPIC OF THE DAY.

We have not, in the few articles which we have
thrown out upon this subject, by any means ex-
hausted it. We have much behind that we may

prospect of the prolongaton of which has no
charms for US.
For to-day, we release our readers from con-
.inuation of our own speculations on the subject,
to enable us to lay before them tie article in the
preceding columns, than which few, if any, pro-
ducons Of greater ability have before adorned
our pages. Our readers will not, we hope, take
our opinion upon trust, but judge of its merits by
a searching perusal of it.

FROM CALIFORNIA.

| The New York Commercial Advertiser has fur
ther intelligence from San Francisco, brought by
passenger on the steamer Alabama who has arrived
at New York.
| The news, beyond the details of the foundation
at Sacramento city, of which we have previously
had information through the medium of the tele-
graph, does not appear to be Of very material i'm
portance.
From the mines the additional information is
very scanty, the communication with the seaboard
being nearly cut off, from the bad condition of the
roads, consequent upon the long-continued rains.
Relative to the food at Sacramento the Pacific
News OF January Is remarks:
What we have long anticipated has at last taken place
ne waters after threatening for weeks have performed their
WORK at sacramento. The city is inundated We learn
from passenger BY the Senator that the average depth of
water there 10 four feet There are however, some few
knobs yet above wate on the top Of which hundreds have
collected as q last resort.
sWe regret learn that several instances of deatb bv
drowning have occurred. One gentleman informs us Of
of four men, in state of ntoxicaon who fell overheard
from boat and pershed The loss property in the cy
alone be immense In addition TO this herds Of cattIe
in the country have been swept of in great numbers and
drowned The lowest estimate of the loss which we have
heard is million Of dollars
The current running through the very strong
and great proportion of the property lying loose has of
course been swept away In addition this instances have
occurred where and houses have carried off One
large brick house, which process Of erection has been
cracked by the rushing waters and the foundations of MANY
other houses already loosened.
Many, in endeavong to themselves, were forced to
leave the sick, and the helpless the mercy of circu
stances.
"ln addition to the loss of life and property in addition to
the ghed prospects Of hundreds what shall we say Of the
immediate distress which the nundaon has produced With
many Of the houses only story high, with the rushing
covering almost every spot Of land in the city, with no
conyenences for making fires for sleeping and for cooking
is difficult to how the inhabitants Of Sacramento
mage to exist at the present time."
An ac, has passed the Legislature and been signed by the
Governor, authorizing temporary loan Of money the
expenses Of the State.

1t might be supposed that at this crisis, when the
integrity Of the Union seems in peril, there would
be some cessation Of party vrulence on the part
even of the most vindictve. The preservation of
the Union is not a matter certainly upon which
the Wing and Democratic parties are divided nor
does there seem to be any occasion for mingling
that great subject with any partisan question or
prejudice. s1
But there are some whose hostility to General
TAyLoR's Administration has apparently taken the
form of monomania-so bitter is their hatred, so
insane are the manifestations oft. Let the reader
peruse the following passages from the Washington
Union. They are appended to an extract from
some anonymous letter, in which it is intimated
that if active steps should be taken towards dis
solution, the President would use the military and
naval forces OF the country to suppress such move
ments:
Th paragraph will give the reader correct view Of the
whole plan Of operations devised by the Administration
plan hagtious cold booded and really reasonable agans,
the safety OF the ope and the integrity of the Union
concocted by Arnold Burr. 1t is excite,
through its Northern tools and allies the fanatics Of the North
niue their attempts iname Ee people Of the South,
and tten If the latter do not patiently submit to subjugae
them by
the people of the South, the dice with which this despe
and aocious game for political power be played by
the present fallen and discredted Administration Let the
people Of the South contemplate seriously the enomity
up the sad and astounding reality that this Administration
has sympathy for their their rights that in its
desperate schemes for power is ready excite them acts
of hostility against the Union if possible and then to put
them down with FIRE and sword This is the wicked purpose
Of the Administrator il Judge Of its designs by its
acts; and there uer interpreters Of human motives
than actions"
These allegations are made as deliberately as
though the utterers of them beiieued them to be
true. In the same spirit and with equal effrontery
the same journal charges that the Federal or Wing
| party of the United States-the abolition Feder
alists of the North and the slaveholding Wings of
the South, acting in alliance-are the authors of
all the present evils and dangers that afact the
| country and imperil the peace OF the Union
l, is well that such vrulence as this defeats it
self. The blindness of such rage, depriving it of
| all discretion, is fortunate accompaniment of so
much malignity. We assure our readers that these
extracts are no. exceptions to the general tenor of
the language in the columns of the journal from
which they are taken. Day after day the torrent
flows on the reservoir of abuse seems inexhausti-

WAsHINGToN's temper says the Journal Of
Commerce was tried severely as any mans,
yet who can cite the instance of his losing it !!
FRANKLIN is another example; and we took up
our pen, in this article, for the purpose simply Of
citing that venerable sage and patriot model
specially worthy of the attention of Our National
Legislators at the present time. Picture him at
the age of 81 years sitting in that august assembly
which formed the Constitution. The interests to
be adjusted by that body were even more perplex-
ed and delicate than those which are now before
US. Excitement rose to great height, and some
of the speeches were nearly as denunciatory as
some we have had of late. In the midst of this
excitement the great philosopher, as little affected
by it as he was by the lightning which his kite
sent down from the clouds, 10 offer series Of
concilia.ory propositions, which he prefaced with
the following pacific observations touching the tenn
per Of the House:
!" Il has given me great pleasure to observe that
till this point, the proportion Of representation,
came before US, our debates were carried on with
great GOODNESS and temper. If any thing Of con-
: trary kind has on this occasion appeared, hope
it will not be repeated; for we sent hither to
consult, not to contend, with each other and de-
claratons of fixed opinion, and Of determined
resolutions never to change it, neither enlghten
nor convince us. Positiveness and warmth on
one side naturally beget their like on the other,
and tend to create and augment discord and divi-
9 sion in great concern, wherein harmony and
d. union are extremely necessary to give weight to
our councils, and render them effectual in pro-
noting and securing the common good"
