HlGnER LAw.-The following choice bit of
higher law-ism recently appeared as editorial
in the California Express:
"But we also hold that the President Is not
the exclusive judge of the provisions of the
Constitution az many seem to suppose lie
is merely an Executive officer We hold fur
ther that, when the President oversteps the
bounds prescribed for him by the Constitu-
ton, it is the duty of every good citizen TO
oppose any such aggressons upon that instru-
ment In other " ords, whenever there is
collision between the President and the Con-
stitution it is the bounden duty of every good
citizen to espouse the cause Of the latter But
we may be asked, how are we to determine
when iniractions of the Constitution are
made? We answer, that this Government is
based upon the principle that the people are
sovereign-that they are intelligent and
capable of self-government; and, further
more, that cpery american citizen is free
agent to dctcrutiae all questions appertuining
to the Government for himSeE The Consti-
tuition is a plainly written instrument which
addresses itself to the intelligence of every
citizen; and, hence, that each must be aor-
er"ed by his sense Of j,eStice-of right and
wrons-H gleiHg his SHDpou or opposition to
any public measure or tic acts Of those in an.
Mo'HH"
That would be pretty good doctrine for
Wendell Phillips or John Browns surviving
partners Every citizen to determine all law
questions for himself, and each man to obey
or disobey those in authority according to
his own private notions of right or wrong.
If every man is to be law unto himself, and
a judge of all questions, what need of Gov
ernment, law or Courts? The Express is the
organ Of the Anarchists

Nrws.-A letter, written by a lady in
Clarksyille, Montgomery county Tennessee,
to her daughter in this city, says:
"The times here arc awful, and we hardly
know what to do. You never saw such
times. Business is all stopped, and we do
not know which way to turn Two of your
brothers have volunteered, and ! went TO see
the army last night Ihey hare no arms, for
the Northefnors have stole all our arms and
our steamboats,, and we have nothing to fight
with; but they are making cannon in Clarks-
Vile for them to fight with"

UNION MOVEMENT. "A number of citizens
of North San Juan have signed pledge mot
TO vote for the nominees of any political
party which undertakes to keep up distinct
organization from the great American Union
party now in process of construction in our
State" They have printed circular calling
upon all Union men to pledge. themselves in
like manner, and also to pledge themselves in
the support Of a ticket to be nominated at
sacramento by an Independent Union party.
We received one of these circulars some days
since, but mslaid it, which will account for
the fact that it has not been sooner mention-
cd in this paper The idea suggested is more
patriotic than feasible at present, as is evil
denced by the tenacity with which the most
of the people appear to adhere to their re-
spectiye organizations. When the State Con-
ventons already called, have met and ad-
journed, there may be a necessity for great
Independent Union movement. At present
nearly every man seems to think his is the
best Union party. A Union platform, which
is free from past issues, will be sustained by
our people, and if the party conventions lose
sight Of the fact, and trim for votes, or allow
party crceds to be interpolated, the people
will hold a convention of their own in July.
The next election will show that California
is true to the Union, and that she can make
her voices heard above the din of all the
spoils-hunters within her borders.

A PATRIOTIC CARPENTER-Tho Nevada
Transcript tells of n citizen of Grass Valley,
who is northern man, but who favors Sc
cession, having occasion to make some re-
pairs about his house, called in carpenter,
who is notoriously strong on the Union, to
have the job done The carpenter worked
half day, tearing out several partitions,
when they got to talking about the state of
the country. The sentiments expressed by
the secessionist astonished the carpenter, who
found it strange that northern man should
entertain such opinions, and he asked him if
he really meant what he said On being an
swered in the Affirmative, he gathered his
tools and departed. saying he could stand a
southern secessionist, but would have nothing
to do with northern one.

TIE CAusE--Civil war has been precipi-
tated upon the country because the Southern
fre-eaters were whipped in the last National
Democratic Convention. They could have
had a good Democratic President, but not one
who was personally friendly enough to them,
and mean enough to himself to be piece oI
clay in their hands after being elected, and
to give them all the federal patronage. The
present revolution is only the political death
bed of pack of hereditary ofice-seekers
They die hard, but death is sure" Whe1
the struggle is over, the deceased will be
enveloped in large Secession flag, the fune-
raj service will be read by Parson Brownlow
and the corpses will, without any weights
be dropped into the waters of oblivion, into
which they will sink SO deep that nothing
will ever again disturb them.

LINcoLN's PRocLAMATIoN.-Whe the news
first reached California that Lincoln had is
sued proclamation calling for 75 900 troops,
the peace papers, that had never found fault
with a single warlike movement in the
South, were greatly outraged. They said
the President had usurped power in viola
ton of the Constitution. Now every body
admits that the Secession portion of the pco-
pie of Maryland would, by some process,
have declared her out of the Union, but for
the presence, in their midst, of Federal troops.
The Davis Government would then have de-
cared her one of the Confederate States and
would have demanded the evacuation of the
city of Washington by the U. S Government
on the ground that it had reverted to Mary
land" If Lincoln had called out no troops
the demand would have been enforced, and
the United States Capitol would be this day
in the hands of the reyolutionists. The Adj
ministrotion has thus far acted solely for self
preservation
