Out of the Union.

1t appears that not only we-the good and.
law abiding people of North ST. John-but
the whole of California, is out of the Union
kicked out by South Carolina. For thirty
years this fussy little Commonwealth has
been premeditating such an act, preparing
her leg for it by gymnastic exercises, to ac-
quire the proper amount of muscle; and
now she has thrust that member out direct
ly against the ponderous buttocks of her
thirty-two confederates, which violent eser-
else, it is to be hoped, has not entirely de
prived her of breath She has always clunc
to as many of the forms of monarchy as
she could legally possess under the Consti-
tuition; her code of laws differs from nearly
all the other States, whether for the choice
of Presidential Electors, or the punishment
of the greater or lesser degrees of crime
Doubtless she desires to become an empire
in name, regal pomp and supreme power
Her sons despise the "a mudsils " of society
They affect contempt for labor and laborers,
in any pursuit outside the learned profess
sions. Cockades, blue-r ribbons, rosettes and
sidearms are the symbols of gentility at
which they aim. and now that the State has
set up fer herself, they will hereafter enjoy
all the delightful sensations to be experen
ced from the adoption of such implements
of personal garnitare.
1t is thought by some, that this summary
ejectment may cause the thirty three, thirty
two, thirty, twenty, or whatever number Of
States may be left, latter the example Of South
Carolina has been initiated elsewhere, to ex-
hibit spirit of resentment; and pouncing

SENTENCED TO BE HUNG.-John Carr was
tried before Judge Cradebaugh on the 18th
inst, at Virginia City, for the murder of Barnard
Cherry, and found guilty of murder in the first
degree. He was sentenced to be hung on Friday,
the 30th inst. yesterday. John Rudsil, sup
posed to be accessory to the murder before
the fact, was the principal witness the trial.
He turned States evidence for that purpose, in
order to save his own worthless neck. Carr was
a cold hearted villain. His death will be rid
dance to the State at large, and it is hoped may
prove salutatory lesson to some of the desper-
ADDE'S who are prowling about the the newly dis
covered silver region of Washoe, preying upon

more worthy fellow-citizens.

~ Men there are amongst us, never having

AssAssINs 1MPRIsoNED.--One evening in April
last, while John B. Oague, who resides near
the Deer Creek crossing, on the Marysville and
San Juan road, was sitting in has bar-room, lean
ing with his back against the WALL couple of
men, with their faces concealed, or in some man
ner disguised, entered and inquired for glass of
water. Mr.. Oague tilted his chair forward with
the intention of rising to wait upon the strangers
when one of them discharged gun at his head,
loaded with buckshot. The muzzle was so near
his face that for some time afterwards it bore the
traces of powder. Fortunately the fitting mo-
ton saved his life, and permitted the contents of
the gun to pass into partition wall where their
marks may yet be plainly seen by those who are
curious enough to enter the house and look at
them. The suspected perpetrators of this at
tempted assassination were couple of brothers
named Moore Cherokee Indians, whose brother
Mr.. Oague had some time previously killed in
an alteration involving the right of ownership
to a certain spring of water; and for which Of
fense he had been tried and acquitted. These
brothers were arrested several days ago by Thos.
Johnson, tax-collector of this county, and lodged
in the Nevada Jail. SO long as they were at
large, Oague felt no security for his life The
brothers had sworn to deprive him Of it, and for
that purpose kept close watch on his move
ments, determined to carry their threat into exc
cution whenever favorable opportunity present
cd. Oague never ventured abroad unless armed
always with sx-shooter, and sometimes with
doublebarreled shot gun in addition. The in
carceration cf the implacable brothers will be
great relief to him. 1t is like lifting terrible
weight from his shoulders which was crushing

Eloquent EZeza<> T.

The following eloquent extract is
from one Of Lincolns speeches in lis
debates with Douglas in 1853,
NV friends, / have sndesyored 10 SHOW
YOU the logical consequences Of the bred
Scott decision, which holds that the peo-
plc ola territory cannot prevent the es-
Enlistment of slavery in their midst.
| have stated what cannot be gainsaysd5
that the grounds upon which this dscisioI
is made are equally applicable to the free
territories, and that the peculiar reasons
put forth by Judge Douglas for indorsing
this decision, commit him in advance to
the next decision emanating from the
same source. And, when by all these
means Won have succeeded in brutalizing
the negro; when you havo put him down
and made it impossible for him to be but
as the beasts Of the field; when you have
extinguished his soul, and placed him
whore the ray of hope is blewed out in
the darkness that broods over tie spirits
of the damned, are you quite sure the
demons YOU have reused will not turn
and rend you?
What constitutes the bulwark of our
liberty and independence! 1t is not frown-
ing battlemcnts, our bristling sea coasts,
the guns Of our war steamers, or the
strength of our gallant army. These are
not our reliance against the resumption
of tyranny in our land. All them may
be turned against our liberties, without
making us stronger or weaker for the
struggle. Oar reliance is in the love Ct
liberty which God has planted in our bos-
oms. Our defenca is in the preservation
of the spirit which prizes liberty as the
heritage of all men in all lands, every
where. Destroy this spirit and you
plant the seeds of despotism around your
own doors. Familiarize yourself with the
chains of bondage, and you are preparing
your own limbs to wear them. Accus-
toned to trample on the rights of those
around you, you have lost the genius of
your own independence, and become the
fit subjects of the first cunning spirit who
rises in your mids'. And let me tell you
that all these things are prepared for you
with the sure logic of history. if the cleo
tons shall promise that the next bred
Scott decision and all future decisions
will be quietly acquiesced in by the peo-
pie. Loud and prolonged applause.

The Springfield Republican concludes
an article on the Burch divorce case as
follows:
Without saying word for Mr.. Burch
who may or may not be very giltv, we
confess that in this case, as in nearly all
similar cases, our sympathies naturally
turn to the woman involved Some
where in all these cases a man stands in
the position of responsible authorship
Mans beastliness, greed for gain, over
bearing passion and strong will are placed
over against woman's loneliness. weak
ness and yaerning for affection. We do
not believe there is one case in thou
sand of fall from virtue, in married life
CT out of it, in which the man is not prin-
cipally and mainly to blame. 1t matters
not much how clear case can be made
out against Mrs. Burch - her husband
cannot relieve himself-as we think
from burden of responsibility in the
matter. The great fact-the primary
fact-of his utter loss of her love remains
to be accounted for by him. Though
what neglect-by what raeans of inbar-
monious intercourse-by what withhold
ing of society--was this love, once his.
lost! 1t will be fortunate for him if he
can lay his hand upon his heart and de-
clare that he has been all to her that he
ought to be--that lie has discharged
every duty he owed to her.

Greeley's letter 10 Seward.

HORACE GR2ELEY's letter to Seward
about which so much has been written
and said has at last been published, and
we believe it will increase rather than
dimini; ii the estimation in which its wri-
ter is held. The Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican, whose Judgment and ability
give to its opinions the weight of a final
decision, says
Horace Greeley is not milk Stop, as
some people may suppose. Nor is he
devoid of the ambition for power, which
is common to our human nature. If he
found his Legitimate personal political in
fluence was lost, when held subsidiary to
his friends, Seward and Weed, it was nat
ural and right that he should reclaim it,
and set up on his own account, as he ex-
pressed it; and very just was it in him
also, 10 announce his purpose, and ex-
plain It's reasons, in frank and manly
letter to the more prominent of his late
associates. There is nothing in all this
inconsistent with any right idea of Mr..
Greeley's character.

From the New York Indcpendant
ADraha IN LincGia.

In Thomas Jeflerson's celebrated letter
to the New Haven merchants who had
demonstrated against the removal of
Elizur Goodrich trcm the Collcctorship
OF that port and the appointment of a sue
cessor whose chief qualification was that
he was a partisan Of the President, q
hope is expressed that good time may
come when the only questions about a
candidate for Office will be these three
Is he hoaest?-Is lie capable ?-Is he
faithful to the Constitution
When Jefferson said good thing he
said it well, and this is one of his good
things. Those three questions are just
the questions which tie people of the
United States ought to ask in regard to
candidates for the Presidency. Let Alb
raham Lincoln, for example, be subjected
to the ordeal ofthcse questions.
Is he honest? Look upon his face
Is that an honest man? Inquire of a.
mong his ne;ghbors who honor his
eu;leIess integrity by the familiar na,ac
which expresses their confidence and love,
Honest Abraham Lincoln. Read his
speeches. Hear him when he addresses
popular assembly. The first element of
his power over his hearers is the irresiti-
bic conviction which they have of his hon
estv.
Is he capable? Let his whole history,
from his early and unfriended struggles to
his present high position among the ac-
knowleigcd leaders of a learned profess
ion in one ofthe greatest states of the
Union, give the answer. Let the poo
pie OF his own state, who know him rs
thoroughly as they know any other pub,
lie man, say whether he is caI able. Let
those who heard him, Il few weeks ago,
at the Cooper Institute, say whether he
has intelligence enough and talent enough
10 be tie successor of James Buchanan,
Franklin Pierce, Willard Fillmore, Zach
airy Taylor, James X. Polk, and John
Tyler. We happened to hear that speech.
1t was not rs classically ornate as one Of
Edward Evcrett's orations, it was not
like one of Thomas Jetferson's cpistlcs,
but, in our Judgment, it was better ex-
hbition Of that kind of ability which
makes statesman, and which qualities a
man for such an Office as the Presidency,
than Eyerett's eulogy on Washington. or
Jeff r5on's latter to the New HaYen
Chamber of Commerce. A more thor
ough and exhaustive exposition of the
subject which lie had in hand, no other
man could give. There was not a wor |
in it of vulgar stump-speaking-not n
word of the 'spread-eagle' style of oratory
not q word of claptrap; it was straight t.
forward argument on the great question
of the times, and was as able rs it was
honest.
Is he faithful to the Constitut:ia2-
Those who believe that the Constitution
is the charter and guarantee of slavery,
and that by its own force it carries the
institution of slavery into all the territor
les, will say No. Such an answer from
! that quarter is reason enough for every
body else to answer Yes. The views of
Webster. Of Clay, of Marshall, of all cur
eminent men who lived before the new
school of Democracy was founded by
Calhoun, are his views on the question
now at Issue. That IS enough.
