U. S. SENAToR.-The Union Democrat says it
is the duty of the Breckenridge members of the
Legislature to defeat an election for T. s. Sena-
tor this winter. We are sorry to see this COM
ing from SO influential source.-Amodor Led
ger.
The Democrat, thinking as did Latham dur
ing the last campaign, that Lincoln is less OBJ
noxious than Douglas, is desirous Of giving the
Pubs. another chance.

WILL SHE Do fT?-We cannot believe that
the proud and glorious old State of Virginia will
permit the arrogant, weak, and politco- -coxcomb
State of South Carolina to coerce her into fol-
lowing her into a Southern Confederacy. If
Virginia is not true to the Union of Washington,
then, indeed, may we abandon all hope of the
perpetuity of this Republic. The arrogance of
South Carolina is already firing the pride of the
good old Mother of States. Says the Alexan-
dria Gazette:
The present course of So1th Carolina, in
going out of the Union without consultation
with other States, or regarding in the slightest
degree their interest or wishes, or what effect
her action will have upon them, when she suf-
fers no greater wrongs or injuries than they do,
is having its natural effect. What might, un-
der other circumstances, be sympathy, is con-
yerted into positive resistance, if not disgust.

Z No MoRE UsE FOR IIfM.-John C. Breckin-
ridge, It was recently reported, had determined
to visit South Carolina, to address his fellow
citizens in favor of abiding in the Uhion.'-
Whereupon a South Carolinian, through the
Mercury, asked the question
Would it not be well for the Cotton States
to determine to pay the expenses of the honor
able gentlemans contemplated trip and send
him home TO address some others who might be
more disposed than we in South Carolina to lis
ten to his advice on that subject
Having used the '' distinguished young Ken
tuckian' to divide the Democratic party and
elect Lincoln, the secessionists have no further
use for him, and accordingly intimate desire
to kick him.

pGr The Louisville Journal of the 18th, re-
ferring to the recent ss brush" in the Senate be-
tween Mason and Douglas, adds the following
comments
"Clay said to US at the house of relation of
his in this city, that in his opinion Mason pur-
posely made the Fugitive Slave Law offensive
to the North in one OF more of its features, his
object being to bring about the defeat of the
great compromise of 1850"

Speaker Elected.

We learn that the Assembly effected its or
ganization on Thursday, by the election of Mr.
Burneil, of Amador, as Speaker. Mr.. B. is
Douglas Democrat All the officers of the As
semby are reported to be Douglas men. While
we regret the impossibiity of electing Conness,
Speaker, we at the same time feel delighted
that the war has ended.
We are informed by the Red Bluff Independ-
ent, just handed to US by Mr.. Brastow, of Wells,
Fargo i Co.'s Express, that the ballot (the 94th)
which resulted in the election of Burnell, stood,
Burnell, 40 Wood, sc. OF course Conness had
been withdrawn As both candidates were
Douglas men, the Douglas wing of the Democ-
racy ought TO be satisfied. And as the Breck-
inridge wing and the Republicans succeeded in
defeating the first choice of the Douglas wing,
why they too have something to crow about
But now that it is all over what does it amount
to? Is any body the better therefor? Is the
State the gamer thereby? Has the resul
weakened the Douglas or strengthened the
Breckinridge and Republican parties one single
vote? No. We repeat, then, what does it all
amount to What good has been accomplished
in the defeat of Conness, confessedly the most
capable man for the position in the House?
The organization Of both Houses being COM
pleted, next comes the Governors Message, and
then the great work of the session-the election
ofa United States Senator. Let our Legislature
see to it that no man not free from preju-
dice against either the North or the South, nc
man not avowedly and firmly in favor of execut-
ing the laws in every State, be sent to represent
California in the United States Senate. OuI
people are emphatically in favor of the continu-
aIce of this Union. 1t suited jackson and Wash.
ington and Jefferson, and it suits Californians
Let no man, then, be elected Senator to repre-
sent them who is not thoroughly imbued with
the sentiment that, as the Union is the source o
all our prosperity and greatness, SO also, would
its destruction prove the source of untold Gala
mities-and that therefore, in the language o.
jackson, g it shall be preServed !"

NEW JERsEY.-The New Workers are most
merciess in their tales about New Jersey. The
following hard one is from the New York Mer-
curry. OF course we don't believe word of it,
or, you see, our pard, absent collecting
taxes, is himself frcm the land of New Spain:
One terrible stormy night in black December
United States vessel was wrecked off the coast
of Jersey, and every SOUL save one, went down
with the doomed craft This only surviver Ia
gentleman from the Vest seized a floating spar
and was washed toward the shore, while innu-
merable kind hearted tools of the Camden and
Amboy Railroad clustered on the beach with
ropes and boats. Slowly but surely the unhappy
mariner drifted to land, and as he exhaustedly
caught at the rope thrown to him, the kindly
natives uttered an encouraging cheer g You
are saved" they shouted you are saved and
must show the conductor your ticket" With the
sea still boiling about him, and floating straw
tickling his nose, the drowning stranger sud-
denly resisted the effort to haul him ashore
q Stop!r said he in faint tones. "Tell me where
am. What country is this?" And :hey an
swered New Jersey" Scarcely had the name
fbeen uttered, when the wretched stranger let
go the rope, calculating he did so, I" l guess
I'll float little further!" lie was never seen
again.
