The SACRIFICE TO SEEMING ExPEDIENcx
Up to the date Of the sailing Of the last
staemer from New York, Congress had been
in session for three months, and during that
period had dssraeed the government of the
country by fierce and bitter quarrel over
the "nigger question" Had Mr.. Buchanan
adhered to the Democratic doctrine of pop.
ular sovereignty Ito his instructions to Gov.
Walker-and returned the constitution to
be endorsed by the people, as Mr.. Polk did
in the case of Wisconsin, Kansas might now
have been member Of the confederacy.-
Mr.. Douglas told the Senate in December,
that it could all be accomplished in ninety
days. They have already spent four months
In speedy expediency endcavors, and settling
the question Ia Tom Hyer Had Mr.. Bu
ohanan adhered to tho Democratic doctrine,
the people would have adopted a constitu-
ton for themselves, and nobody would have
had any just cause Of complaint. Those
who would have objected to such course,
would have dimmed the national glory of
Mr. Buchanan's administration no more than
did the forty Preachers Of Connecticut -
Crush out the doctrine of popular sovereign.
ty, and the American Congress becomes
simply the battle field Of sectional and do
nestle institutions.

THE GRAND JURy AT an early hour on
Saturday the Grand Jury had flashed their
labors. There has never been in Butte OF
any other county, either ia this State or the
Union, better or more expeditions and
faithful Grand Jury than this At three o.
clock on Monday afternoon they had receiv.
ed their charge. and then, instead of adjour.
ming as most grand jurcs would have done
they went right to work, and continued tc
work diligently every day and evening until
their labors were finished. On Friday
night they passed . resolution to complete
their duties on Saturday even If it was found
necessary to work until 10 o'clock in the
evening. Happily, by their diligence they
got through before that hour. BY their in
dustry. they have accomplished much i'm
portant business and saved the county hun.
dreds Of dollars, that a more frivolous body
would have squandered, They are indeed
perfect model ofa Grand Jury. As sever.
al persons will have TO be rs.indioted to ap-
pear at the next term Of the District Court,
Judge Wells very properly has held this
Grand Jury over until that time. We shall
be unable until then to lay their report be-
fore our readers.

was indicated on the map by parallel of

that parallel. 1t will be remembered that
the same parallel marked Suffers north
