A resolution has Iteu Introduced INTO
the Senate OF the United Sta ties, calling for
information from the Postmaster General
n regard TO removals from Office under his
whether any have been
made, and If so, the causes therefor. The
introduction of this resolution seems TO be

TEN Of Hostility which il had been predict
ed the Administration would lave to en-.
counter a. the hands of the ma iority in the
Senate. That some of the Presidents
nominations should not be confirmed was
perhaps expected, as has been the case in
regard 10 all preceding almnistralions.-
Bot we do rot believe ,ha, any one was
prepared 10 see a .Iactious opposition,
such as the resolution alluded TO would
seem to indicate. spring up and prevail
in that august body. composed of men
possessing the finest abilities, and who

Now we put the question, Does Mr.. Rheti
wish 10 dissolve The Union on account Of the
tariff Of is464 Or does he affirm it to be in
itself a efficient cause, or even in itself one Of
the causes why the South should take this
course, even at the cost Of civil war with all
Of its horrors aud haiesp as the Wing ex-
presses it.
This can hardly be the case, since Mr..
Rhett and the South have been enduring this
tariff without making such threats since 1916.
The Wing may learn that there can be laws
passed which even hot-headed Mr.. Rhett may
think unconstitutional and yet not sufficient to
cause a dissolution Of the Union. fl is the case
OF a plain and wilful breach of the constitution
in a point dangerous TO the great purposes ior
which the Constitution was established as Mr.
Madison has said that the mar TO whom the
Wing applies as opprobrious the terms, "a
strict constructionist-a st~ates-rights-man after
the ~strictost scctp would consider of sufficient
weightiness TO call for a dissolution of thisUnion'
II Is a case Of this sort which forms the whole
of Mr.. Rhetts argument. 1t is the case, in
which, a majority in tho States represented,
Congress assume to themselves the power oil
constituting the Constitution to suit their ends, to
legislater regardless and subversive of the rights
and interests OF the minority of the States rep.
resented. II isagaiust this Mr.. Rhett has con.
tended, and he has brought up as one of its evils
the imposition OF a tax upon one class of the
people for the benefit of another.
In the foregoing remarks we have departed
from .orm by proving a negative, we have done
50 however, to show in a more plain manner,
the erroneous representation OF the Wing in
affirming that Mr.. Rhett, held that tho tariff o.
1916 sis in itself sufficient cause, or one of the
causes why the South should dissolve her con,
nection with this Union, even at the cost OF civil
war with all its horrors and hates !"

LATE NE S,

The steamship Philadelphia arrived at
New York OH the Goth from Chagres with
dates from San Francisco to August 25th.
She brings a million of dollars in god as
freight. and about $500, 900 in the hands OIL
passengers.
A riot took place at Sacramento CITY, on
the 18th Of August, upon the attempt of six
ty squatters TO release their comrades. who
had been imprisoned on board a ship in the
harbor. An ARRAY ensued, during which
several persons lost their lives, and many
Others were seriously wounded. Two lead.
ers of the rioters were killed and two
wounded. The city was proclaimed under
martial law, aud steamers were dispatched
to San Francisco for a force of six hundred
men.
The Philadelphia reports FIVE cases of
cholera at Panama, and two of yellow fever
on the Isthmus.
Ten thousand men are waiting in Califor.
MIA for the commencement of the dry season,
to begin operations at the mines.
The riot at Sacramento City grew out Of
n long standing feud between the squatters
and the real estate owners.
The squatter force o swelled from the
sixty first engaged to a body of armed men
numbering between seven and eight hun
dred. The keepers of garOing houses and
sporting men generally sided with the real
estate owners or citizens proper. A ire.
mendous force was fast accumulating.
Just as the steamer Carolina was getting
under way, a dispatch was received on board
from the Pacific News Office, stating that
an express had just arrived bringing intelli.
gence that Sacramento city had been reduc.
ed to ashes, and the squatters were receiv.
ing reinforcements of men from the mines.
Rev. DR.. Southwick has been elected
Bishop of the California Diocese, by the
Episcopal Convention late in session in San

NON lNTERcoURse.-The editor of the
Augusta ConstitutionaIist, writing 10
his own journal from Coosa Spring
Alabama, says he understands from
persons at that place, citizens of Ala
bama, that many of the planters in
their section of the State, have notified
the merchants they deal with, thar
they will not, hereafter, purchase anv
article of merchandise mahufactursd
or imported by the North. This policv
should be carried out until no Southern
purchaser will be found in Northern
markets.

BUNKER HILL CELEBRATION.
MONDAY, JUNE, IL, 1850.

The 18th Anniversary of the Battle
Of Bunker Hill, Was observed on Mon.

Bunker Hill Monument Association.

bration was projected, though ultimate.

antly carried out by the people them
selves. Il was in fact and reality a
grand mass meeting, numbering tens Of
thousands gathered around the first
regular battle ground Of the Revolution
to celebrate the heroism Of the past age,
and keep alive those sentiments Of pa.
iriotism, which but for the annual OBJ
servance Of similar anniversaries, would
be very likely to assume the indefinite
complexion Of ancient fiction, and be
allowed TO expire as thing Of no prof.
it in this money getting progressive

The streets Of ChasIcstown were liz.
orally alive with people Of every age,
sex and complexion. At II o'clock, the
Square IN Main street, was quite block.
ed up with the human mass, patiently
waiting, and sweltering in the no, sun
to see the procession move. Flags and
s'reamers were waving from the prin-
e'Pal public buildings, hetsls, and from
numerous dwelling houses in all the
streets through which the procession
was To pass. In fact. everything vas
