WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1861.
South Carolina has sent her ulihmdintl
herc-what that is rumor has not yet sug-
gested. Probably, as that embryo Empire
has, even before throwing of her swaddlng
clothes, vanquished the stars and stripes, in
her glorious attack on the Star Of the West,
her uitmatum is dictation Of the terms on
which she will settle. Times have somewhat
changed since, in the early days of our re-
public, the insults on our flag by the Bar
barry States, and their acts Of aggression
which, in our later days, have served as a
precedent for the State Of South Carolina,
were ayengcd-Decaturs are gone, and now
the government instead of sending Ships of
War into the ports Of a piratical enemy,
is subjected to the humiliation OF receiving
ultimatums from another piratical enemy, one
that has stolen forts, seized and confiscated
arms, rifcd and confscated Treasures, and
this too in the capitol Of the Nation. Well
this is sufficiently humiliating, but perhaps
it is thus best to treat with the seccssionists
possibly all things considered, it is policy
not to arouse tho sleeping lion. But the
ultimatum-we arc aching, everybody is
aching, to know what this terrible uiiin,at,an
is. Does South Carolina demand the privilege

The Tariff aud slavery.
By the following extract from the Milwaukee

seen that it's editor, Judge A. D. SM TIL, has
discovered that the English and French "reli-

countries can afford to be censorious towards
their distant neighbors if the indulgence in

all that the great bulk of imports from Europe
