SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18th, 1861.


EDIToR DEMOCRAT Union resolutions
were to-day offered in the Senate by De
Long and Edgerton. They were ordered
printed and referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations, withustructions to report
the same on or before the 25th inst
Buchanan, the traitor, will be denounced,
as he ought to be, in the debate which will
be had upon the report Of the Cemmittee.-
Men of all parties here, except the secession
party, give free vent to their loathing of the
wretch who has used the high office of Chief
Magistrate of the United States, in aid of
South Carolina secessionists, Cobb, Floyd
and Thompson were good advisers for such
President. The stupendous roLberies of the
public treasury which are just being brought
to light to the shame and confusion of those
three worthless, show very plainly why they
have labored so successfully and unblushing-
ly to overthrow the Government whose SER
wants they were. Treason and theft go well
together.
The Governors Message was transmitted
to and read in each House to-day. 1t is not
considered up to the mark on Federal Rela-
itons, but think the Governors devotion to
the Union cannot be doubted. He may have
been little too careful about treadng on
the toes Of the Pacific Republicans, but then
we must remember that various State Con-
ventions are to be held next summer. His
Excellency considers the State Reform pro-
ject failure. This portion of the message
will, as a matter of course, attract considera,
ble attention among your immediate neigh
bors. In the House to day, Harris, ,(of Butte,)
who was elected as Douglas Democrat, and
who is generally understood to be for Den
yer for United States Senator, offered con-
current resolution for a joint convention of
both houses, to assemble on Monday, 2lst
Instant, for the purpose of electing a United
States Senator. The resolution was tabled
by vote of 81 to 49, suppose there will
be no caucusing on the Senatorship until
joint convention shall have been agreed up
on.
O'Brien (Democrat gave notice in the AS
sembly, that he would shortly introduce a
concurrent resolution to expunge from the
journals the Broderick censure resolutions of
1859.
Wilson Plints rigmarole at the late
Republican dinner, concerning pretended
conversations between himself and the late
Senator Broderick disgusts sensible members
of his own (the Republican, party. Mr..
Flint is to be candidate for U. S. Senator
before the Republican caucus. 1t is well for
him that Broderick is silent in death, while
he is trying to show that Broderick was in
politics hypocrite and liar while alive.
The Assembly did queer thing to-day in
in electing a Minute Clerk and Jour-
nal Clerk, instead of leaving them to be ap-
pointed by the Chief Clerk. The latter Off
Ger has, hitherto, always had these appoint
ments. The persons elected would not have
been appointed, believe by Major Ander
son.
A bill to extend the time for the collection
OF taxes in the counties of Napa, Sutter, Tu-
lare and Contra Costa was passed in both
Houses, and presented to the Governor for
his signature. He undoubtedly approved it,
as this was the last day provided by law for
collecting taxes in the counties named
