Webster indicated

Moses K1MBALL, the lately defeated Re-
publican candidate for Mayor of Boston,
was one of that City Council which in 1850
refused to open the doors of Faneuil Hall to
DANIEL WEBSTER, when he desired to give
his reasons for supporting the Compromise
of that year. The people have now re-
buked him for the insult and indignity
which be offered to the great expounder of
the Constitution, whose mastery orations
had done so much to render even Faneuil
Hall memorable.

COMMENT ON THE VERDICT IN THE BURcH
DIVORCE CAsE.-We have yet to hear the
first expression of dissent from the verdict
in the Burch divorce case. Press and
people say amen to it, and many leading
journals present plausible arguments to
prove that Mrs. Burch never committed
adultery with David Stuart. Such view
of the case, when thoroughly scanned, is
not by any means inconsistent with the
evidence produced on the trial. The pious
Burch and Parson Patterson come in for
as many and severe kicks and curses as
were ever melted out to complainant and
witness in any case. The former comes out
of court the real condemned.

The Secession of South Carolina
Treason Of the President.

treason OK the FfeS10enCs
Our Geographic news columns, this
morning, give intelligence of the adoption
of the Secession Ordinance of the State
Convention of South Carolina. This step
on the part of the State, it is understood,
will be followed by the instant resignation
of the federal officers within its limits.
And then, practically speaking, South
Carolina will be outside the Union.
For, no man who has watched the course
ofevents can expect that the authority of the
general government will be enforced by
President BUCHANAN. In his Message, and
since, the President has thought, written,
spoken, and acted, viler treason to the
government which he nominally admins
tiers, than any one, the vilest, of the trail
tors in the South Carolina Convention.
His message was framed expressly to
give aid and comfort to the disunion move
ment. He demonstrated, by elaborate
arguments, its perfect feasibility; guaran-
teed impunity to the traitors and implicitly
pledged the power of the government to
its own destruction. And he has since done
bis utmost to redeem that pledge. The
public arms and property, within the limits
of the State, and outside the regular fortif-
cations, have been for weeks, and still re-
main, under the keeping and at the disposal
of the military authorities of South Caro-
lima. . f..
OF the three forts in the harbor of
Charleston, two are without garrisons, and
the third has but seventy men-not enough
to man its guns. 1t is fact, officially
published, that the President has refused to
take any steps whatever for the better pro.
lection of the government forts and proper
ty. In perfect concord with this fact, and
with his entire official action, is the report
by telegraph that Maj. ANDERSON, the COM
mandant, has been ordered to surrender Fort
Moultrie in case of attack and the further
report, that, in compliance with demand
from the Charleston authorities, Maj. AN
DERsoN had already, under orders from the
government, surrendered large number Of
arms which had been removed from the
Arsenal to Fort Moultrie.

The Prince of Wales returned to Oxford
on the 2lst November, coming in his usual
unpretentious manner. He was most cor
daily greeted at the railway station ;
looked very we'll, and seemed quite happy
to come back to the old City of Colleges.
The municipal corporation presented an
address, congratulating him on his pleasant
journey and on his safe return. The adj
dress expressed particular pleasure at =" the
cordial reception which had been given by
our kinsmen, the citizens of the United

Sick Experimentation ImpOrtuned
by his Party Friends to Resign.

The Cincinnati Commercial, of Saturday,
had letter from Springfield, Illinois, that
made a re velation of wonderful significance.
1t informs US that Lincoln is importuHed, in
person and by letter, by Republicans, to
RESIGN Read from the Commercials
letter:
Human nature is capable of many eccen-
tricities. Negative and positive traits are
frequently combined in one and the same
character. Mr.. Lincoln's experience, since
bis election, at least, goes to show this. Just
think of men, claiming the full possession of
their mental equilibrium, and yet addressing
him with the modest request to resign, "for
the sake of our common country" 1t may
sound incredible that such odd human COM
positions should have any claims to the ex-
istence of reasonable beings. But the fact
of such patriotic demands having been made
is undeniable. Men came here in person
from distant portions of the State to urge
the propriety of like step upon Mr.. Lin
coin. Letters conveying similar appeals
reached him frequently. That Opposition
papers should importune the Republican
nominee, during the campaign, with impu-
dent suggestions to resign, was not surpris-
ing. But that men, pretending to be of
sound mind, and even such as supported
Mr.. Lincoln's presidential aspirations,
should walk up to him after the hard fought
battle was woD, and ask him to sacrifice
himself and his party, in order to restrain
Southern rebels from attempts at secession,
truly surpasses all comprehension.

The Mobile Register styles the Presi-
dents Message, Z" The funeral of the Union. 4"
It concludes its review of the document
with the followings words:
"The conclusion we arrive at is, that if
any cear.headed, sober-minded man had one
spark of hope left of the perpetuation of
this Federal Government, the perusal of the
Presidents Message must and ought to have
extinguished the spark of hope.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-12-28

thus countenanced by its official heed, it
can excite no surprise that it should have
rank and rapid growth. Under the fos.
tering care of the President, it may flourish
to still greater degree. But, if crime, in
this case, should prove to be its own retri-
butor, the life of JAMES BUCHANAN will be
the first and most deserved forfeit paid by
Treason to Justice.

We congratulate our Republican friends in
Kings County, over the river, upon the excellent
selections they lave made of candidates for the
Assembly. To such men Gen. Du'yea, Richard
c. Ab6rn., aid John E. Cammeyer, the interests of
Brooklyn may be safely intrustrd. If the voters
of their districts, who have been dlsgusted and
alarmed by the corruption and reckless impudence
of majority of the last Legislature do not sup
port such men as these they deserve to suffer.
Honest Democrats, of the 4th District do not
hesitate to cay that they shall support Mr.. Cam
meyer; because they know him to be honest firm,
and iDdeper dent. The same characteristics will
bring intelligent and good men to the support Of
the other candidat g We have referred to. With
james Humphrey f,r Congress, George G. Rey
holds for City JOdgs, and, as we believe, fair men
nominated for every other Office the Republicans
of Kings County deserve tie thanks of their
brethren Throughout the State, for the bright ex'
ample they have set, in these days of legislative
cOIru 2tion.
The work, we know, has been accomplished only
by great effort on the part, often, of T. Ose whO
usually, have taken no active part 10 politics. We
trust that they will be encouraged by the result to
perseyere in well doOg.
