Broderick Resolutions.

We perceive that n petition is being eircu-
lated in this city, asking the present Legisla-
ture to expunge the Resolutions of censure
passed by Lecompton body against David
G. Broderick, for his vote on the question of
the admission of Kansas into the Union, un-
der the Lecompton Constitution. The vote of
MIR. Broderick we approved and still ap
prove; and we Furthermore think it would
be an act of simple justice to expunge the
Resolutions of censure against him. But, this
petition is gotten up by Republicans, for the
purpose of throwing a frebrand into the
Democratic ranks-and by Democratic ranks,
we mean the ranks of those who supported
Douglas and johnson in the late contest
They desire to split up the Douglas and
johnson party. They know that some of our
party are Frederick men and that others are
men who supported Douglas. after having
supported the Administration Very well
they think that by forcing a vote on this
question, they can divide the late supporters
of Douglas and johnson in such manner as
to destroy the integrity of that party effect
ually, and thus give full swing to the Repub
licans, both in the Legislature and out of it.
We are inclined to think, that, when thii
petition is presented, and that when similar
petitions are presented, they should be dis
posed of at once. If Resolutions are offered
of this character, they should be indefnitel,
postponed,
So far as the abstract question of right il
concerned, we should vote, were we in til,
Legislature, for such Resolutions, if they stood
disconnected, simple and pure; but we woult
neUer vote for them, if we were satisfied tina
they were gotten up by the Republican par
ty, for the purpose of distracting and break
ing up the Douglas and johnson Democratic
party,
We should under those circumstances, GER
tainly vote for their indefinite postponement
giving our reasons for so doing.
The Douglas and johnson Democratic par.
ty should never suffer themselves to be mad,
mere tools of to forward the interests of tn,
Republicans.

What il Means.

Tho evacuation of Fort Moultrie BY Major
Anderson, is what might very naturally hay,
been expected after the refusal Of our mbe-
ellie President to reinforce it, at TIE request
of the commanding officer The place hav-
! ing been evacuated, the South Carolina
militia very bravely took possession, and we
suppose the Yanceytes cry vocitcrousIy
long may they wave" Major Anderson
evacuated the fort because he knew that,
with the pitiful force which he had, it would
be impossible to maintain it against any re-
| spectacle body of men He retired TO Fort
Sumpter, where he probably intends to make
a stand. Whether the President will order
this place strengthened, remains to be seen.
Probably, If he had his own hssd streagth-
ened, it would be better
The South Carolina nvention-mind yoH,
not the reople-have also assumed the col
lection Of the revenue--a direct violation of
the Federal Constitution which says:
"1he Congress shall have power to lay and
collect taxes, duties, imposts and excuses "
"No State shall, without the consent of the
Congress, lay any imposts or duties on inn
ports or exports, except what may be abso-
lutely necessary for executing its inspection
laws: and the net produce of all duties and
imposts, laid by any State on imports or ex-
ports, shall be for the use of the treasury of
the United States and all such laws shall be
subject to the revision and control of the
Congress"
The South Carolina Convention. which
seems 80 be a sort of Provisional Government,
in the present exigency, proposes to rob the
Treasury of the United States. viii this
Presidential Chair, We suppose it will, for
the present
What ought to be done, to meet this state
of things every body knows Those Federal
officers who have accepted Office from the
South Carolina Convention or Provisional
Government have Of course vacated their Off
ces under the General Government. Their
places should be Immediately filled. If
ninety nine men sueeesslvely refuse any one
of the offices, let the hundredth who accepts
take it, and let him be sustained in the exc
cution of his official functions by the whole
power of the Federal Government. But what
'cH be doneG Why, it is likely old Mr..
Buchanan will fall around somebody's neck,
as it is reported he did around Gen. Cass's,
1. Al
Instead of getting up like man, and pursu-
ing the course prescribed by his convictions,
(for he is no Secessionist and never was) he
will simply dilly daily along, until Revolu-
ton shall have grown to such o head as to
make it difficult to be put down.
We will be most perfectly surprised nay,
astounded, if he should really take jack
sonian stand in the present crisis. We don't
expect it, in the least

My FRIEND LoKALITUMs:-It pains me eX-
eoedingly to find did you so gross an injus-
lice in misquoting from your former editorial
Upon reference, freely acknowledge that
you were not guilty of using the word
tried" but through my stupidity it was so
read. am more than ever shocked to find
you did not try to look another way, and
greatly astonished to hear you are the owner
of "an artistically gotten up pair of ankles" 4"
As it forces the inference that it was not
through innocence, but curiosity YOU gazed
ON the private ownership of anothers, unless
you refer to Che pair you display in "propria
persona" if so, Tabitha fears not ehOgrin
upon comparison.
l am much incensed, when I think Of the
euphonious name my venerable god parents
selected, but must confess it never appeared
allied with the feline species, until so applied

sured this is the last men from

FRoM TnE AMooR RrvER-By way of Japan
and Honolulu, the schooner Alert brings re-
cent intelligence from the Amoor river.
Itwas rumored that Port Hamilton would
be occupied by the Russians. This is an is
land in the Straits Of Corea, and contains an
excellent harbor.
The overland Tea trade by Kiatka was en-
tirely destroyed
A large immigration had come down the
Amoor, to Ischita, and much suffering was
anticipated on account of the scarcity of food.
The Government was about establishing a
Custom House at Nicolayeffsky. Four new
iron steamers had been launched, and would
ascend the river in the spring.
The Governor-G General of Eastern Siberia
had signiied his intention of giving grants of
land on the banks of the Amoor to all foreign
ers who would acknowledge the Emperor.
The grants were not to be hereditary. For
eignors not naturalized were not allowed to
aettle above Morenesky port or Keyser, and
could hold real estate only seven years. Il
would then revert to the Crown, or other
parties who had conformed to the Naturali-
zation laws, together With all improvements
thereon. Among the immigrants this year,
were large number of Germans. The Rus
sian merchants at NicolayefIsky had present.
ed petition to Count Mouravieff that the
foreign merchants might not be admitted to
the same privileges as themselves.

The OLYMPIC MELor rEoN.-The opening Of
this new system of theatricals in this city,
last evening. was attended by an immense
concourse of people The whole theatre was
filled from pat to dome, and all the standing
room occupied The hour is too late for an
extended notice, but it is sufhctent to say
that the acting, dancing and singing gave
very great satisfaction. The girls are eX-
eeedingly attractive, and their performances
were greeted with rounds of applause. We
noticed that that rare comic genius, Lew
Rather, created due portion of the nmuse-
ment, with his unique exhibitions. Lew Rat
tler is a regular genius and no mistake.
The Company will give another perform
ance on Monday night and then there will
be's number Of clever young damsels to hand
wine and liquors to those in the audience
who may call for it. They would have been
present last night, but a misunderstanding, as
to time prevented. They will certainly be
on hand, (as we are assured by the propri-
etor, Mr.. Cannon,) on Monday evening

QUESTIONABLE TAsrE.-The editor of the
Marysville Appeal, lends the grace of hi.
ready and graphic humor to the description
of lady falling in the muddy streets of Ma
rysvilie. The moral of his rather long but
cleverly written paragraph, seems toibe that
a lady must be careful how She falls down
in the public street or she will run the risk
of being made fun of by some clever gentle
man on the look out for news items. We
believe our worthy friend did not intend any.

Personal RENcoNTER.-A personal rem
conter took place yesterday at about twelve
o'clock, between A. J. Eastin and T. A. Tai
bert. Talbert and John Kaneen were stand
ing together on Fourth street, near j, exau-
ming some papers, when Eastin made the
first attack, striking Talbert on the head,
and selling him in such a manner as to get
his head down. The parties were standing
close to Battels jewelry window, and the re-
suit of the first charge was to give Talbert
an inside view of the establishment by jam
ming his head through a large pane Of glass
thirty by thirty inches. lie soon recovered
his posit on, and both clinched and fell Tai
bert had the advantage of position, and dealt
his antagonist several blows in the face. II.
j. Bidleman, d. Maddux. and j. Kaneen sep
arated the parties, and peace was again re-
stored. Eastin was considerably cut about
the head and face, and was quite bloody
Talbert bore no mark of injury, either from
the glass of the window or the blows of his
assailant. The assault resulted from the late
false pretense case, in which the one party
had prosecuted the other.-Sac. Uaion, Sat

Sculptured in the marble, is the image of

A FALL-A brick arching in the new
building of Fuller's, on Second street, near the
Senate House, fell, yesterday. The damage
amounted to but little The cause of the fall
was the losening of the cement by the rain
upon it, the top of the wall being unprotect-
ed during the bad weather, and the cement
having no opportunity to harden.
