California True to the Union.
FoRr KEARNEY, Jan. 4.
The Pony Express, with San Francisco
dates to the cad ult., passed here at IL o'clock
last night. The Pony Express, with st. Louis
dates to Dec. 4, reached San francisco on the
Goth ult.
The Presidents Message was telegraphed
from St. Louis to Fort Kearney, where it
overlook the pony on the 7th inst, and thus
came through to Sacramento, arriving on the
10Th. 1t was telegraphed thence to San
Francisco by two wires, and Immediately
published in the Bulletin and Alta California.
The reading of the Message and the pro-
ceedings OF Congress up to the 7th of Decem-
Der tend to increase the anxiety of the people
concerning the critical condition of the Union.
The entire press of the State now take serious
views of the secession movement, and favor
the preservation of the Union, if possible, by
mutual concessions. All the Republican
papers advocate the repeal Of the Personal
Liberty Bills of the Northern States. There
is some talk of organising Pacific Republic,
if the South secedes; but the present senti-
ment of vast majority of the people is un-
doubtedly to strive to preserve the Union as
it is, and to stay with all that remains of the
Union, if any portion secedes.

| "a t-e ALBANY, Jan. 5.
The Legislature met at IL o'clock THU
morning. The Governor, in his message
in relation to national affairs, says in bis
opinion secession is disunion, and disunion,
SO soon as it shall take form proportion, is
| treason, which it will be tho duty Of the gen.
cral government to arrest and punish. To
permit or acquiesce in reasonable conspiracy
against the national authorities is to confess
that our government 10 IN absolute failure
The people Of New York are not prepared
for such an admission and in the enforce.
ment Of the laws will give their earnest,
faithful and constant support. New York
does not ask, nor does she dcsire the resto-
ration of the Missouri Compromise Line
After full and free discussion, her people
have declared against the extension of
slavery into any Of the Territories, and this
they regard as final disposition of that
question till revoked by the same authority.
Ever ready, nevertheless, - she has proved
herself TO be heretofore, New York will, in
oil honorable ways, endeavor to reconcile
the arrangements now existing in the ooun-
try. The action of . nagnanimous and 10y
al State should be patient calm, ooneiliatory
and ffaternal, without the surrender Of i'm
portant rights nor the sacrifice Of vital
principles. !
Gov. Morgan, recommends the repeal Of
the so.callsd Personal Liberty Law, although |
it IL entirely imperative and without any
to interfere, he respectfully in
vites all States that have laws of this charac- |
tor, conflicting with the Federal Constitution,
10 repeal them. lie thinks it would be we'll |
for the Legislature of New York State to
give solemn assurances to the Southern
States that their rights under the Federal
Constitution and the laws are recognized,

State, berespected and Observation-Disclosures.

slavery or Dfsslnion.

The disunion question has narrowed down
to this point. The North must submit to
have slavery made national and freedom sec
tional, else the Union will be dissolved. Not
withstanding Jefferson, the father Of Democ-
racy, declared that the Almighty has no
attribute that can take side with the extension
and perpetuation Of slavery" we find some Of
his protested followers in favor Of = Compro-
mise which makes slavery national. Wash.
ington, Monroe, and all the great and good
men Of our country, bore their testimony
against slavery. Washington chopped some
plan might be adopted BY which slavery in
this country could be abolished" We stand
by the doctrine Of the Fathers, and 60 for
FREEDoM and the UNION.

81 The positions Of the President elect
and the commander Of Fort Sumpter, at
'Chsrleston Harhor, furnish good illustration
ofthe workings ofour Republican institutions.
During the Blackhawk Indian war of 1882,
Major Anderson was Inspector. General of the
Illinois volunteers, Of one of the companies Of
which Mr.. Lincoln was captain. Now, the
former has been promoted to the position of
Major ofthe First Artillery, and the latter to
that of Commander Chief Of the Army and
Navy. The one is in charge Of post to which
the eyes of the nation are directed, and with
the defense Of which the greatest interests are
connected; and the other has been chosen by
his countrymen as the Executive Of their
Government. The new relations which the
two are to assume will, we doubt not, prove
as honorable TO each as did their earlier
associations, and their respective duties be as
faithfully performed.

THREE MURDERS AND SUIoDE.-The Ke-
osauqua Republican learns of the following
horrid tragedy, which occurred on Christ
mas night, near Upton, Scotland county,
Mo-:
Mr.. Thomas Ridgely, man about forty
five years of age, of sober and industrious
habits, member of the United Brethren
Church, after social interview with some
of his neighbors, which ended with singing
and prayer, seems to have been suddenly
changed into fiend of hell, and commenced
the slaughter of his wife and family, which
consisted Of his wife and five children, and
never ceased the work of death until he had
cut down and stabbed five of the household,
one, small child, only escaping uninjured.
His wife, boy about - or ID years of
age, and little girl were killed and one
little boy and girl were wounded. After
this diabolical work, Ridgely went about q
half mile from his house, where he was
found next morning, dead, with his throat
out from ear to ear.

TIE PACIFIC RAILROAD B1LL.-The Pacific
Railroad measure that passed the House Of
Representatives, on the Goth ult, is that of
Mr.. Curtis, of Iowa, and was offered as an
amendment to the Nebraska land bill. It
provided for road starting from the western
border of Missouri and the southern border of
Iowa, to meet within 200 miles west of the
Missouri river, and then to unite in single
trunk by the best and shortest route, near
Salt Lake, to San Francisco, or the navigable
waters Of the Sacramento. The other road is
to start from Fort Smith and point on the
western border of Louisiana, with two con-
verging lines westward till junction is made
with the road chartered by the Texan Legis'
lature. The prevalent opinion at Washington
is that the bill will be defeated by the
Democratic majority in the Senate.

IThe retiring Governor of Michigan
in his message to the Legislature, delivered
on the I'd inst, takes strong ground against
the right of secession, chsrges the President
of the United States with incorporating
the principles of the Republican party, and
attributes the present sectional excitement
to misrepresentation ef the Northern DEM
ocratic press as to the intentions and designs
OF that party. In relation to the Personal
Liberty laws of that State, he says if they
are unconstitutio and in conflict with the
Fugitive Slave Law, they should be repealed,
but says these laws are right and speak the
sentiments of the people, and are in accord
ance with the Constita ton, and ought moi
to be repealed. KS o

The following resolutions, offered in the
Crisis Committee of Thirty three, in the
House, by Mr.. Bristow, of Kentucky, were
adopted by the Committee, on the Sd inst,
as expressive of their views and feelings:
Resolved, That we recognize slavery as now
ex sting in fifteen of the United States by the
usages and laws of those States, and we
recognize no authority, legal or otherwise,
outside of State where it 50 exists, to inter.
fere with slaves or slavery in such States, in
disregard of the rights of their owners or the
peace of society.
Resolvsd, That we recognize the justice and
propriety Of faithful execution Of the Con-
stitution and all laws made IN pursuance
thereof, including those on the subject of
fugitive slaves or fugitivas from labor or
service, and diseountenances all mobs or him
drance to the execution of such laws, and
that citizens of each State shall be entitled to
all the privileges and immunities Of the
citizens of the several States,
Resolued, That we recognize no such con-
fiicting elements in the Constitution, or sufi-
cient cause from any source for a dissolution
Of this government; that we were not sent
here to destroy but to sustain and harmonize
the institutions of the country, and to see that
equal justice is done to al parts of the same,
and finally to perpetuate its existence on terms
of equality and justice to all the States.
These resolutions are eminently sound, and
the country generally will endorse their
sentiments. Since Southern and Northern
men can agree on that platform, we see no
good reason for difficulty.

Southern Forts 60 by Default.
WAsHINGroN, Jan. alt is believed from
what is known here, that in the course Of 9
few DAYS the forts at Pensacola and Key
West, Fort Morgan Ala, the fort at Ship
Island, nesr the mouth Of Lake Borgne, TO-
gether with the arsenal at Baton Rouge, and
Fort johnson, on Cape Fear River, will be
seized and garrisoned by the troops Of the
respective States in which they lie.
Senator Toombs received dispatch TO-
day, saying that the forts in Georgia were
seized by order Of Governor Brown. Private
information says if any attempt be made to
reinforce the arsenal at Augusta, or to re-
move the arms, it will be at once seized.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 3.-The returns from
Georgia indicate that large majority Of the
secession delegates are elected. Forts Pull
ask and jackson have been occupied by the
Georgia State troops under the instructions
of the Governor Of that State. But for this
action on the part of the Governor, the
Savannah papers say there would have
been Afforded spontaneous uprising of
the people.

We learn from . gentleman who arrived
here this morning from Savannah, that the
forts are in the possession of the George |
State troops. They are occupied BY $50 men |

WHY THE COMMITTEES OF THIRTEEN HAS
FArLED.-The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press writes:
conservative men on the Committee assure
me that at its first meeting the temper shown
bv some of the Southern Senators was such
as to prevent, rather than invite, the cooper
alton of the Republicans in ascertaining the
real causes. which lie at the bottom of our
difficulties, with the view of ascertaining what
remedies would restore peace. OF course, it
could not be expected that the Republicans
would propose measures of Cancellation and
compromise, wheo, instead of specifying theil
wrongs, the Secessionists INDUCED in bitter
denunciation of the party; at the same timt
thew demanded that 1t should surrender al
| its principles

FIn 1850, after the passage of the Co,

~ In 1850, after the passage of the Com
promise measures, Henry Clay wrote:
"Suppose We should be disappointed, and
the standard should be raised Of open resist
ance to the Union, the Constitution and the
laws, what is to be done? There can be but
one possible onssoer; the power, the authority
and dignity Of the Government ought to be
maintained and resistance put do,cn at
every hazard. The moment daring hand is
raised to resist by force the execution of the
laws, the duty Of enforcing them arises, and,
if the conflict which may ensue should lead to
civil war, the resisting party, having begun it.
will be responsible for all the consequences"
How different this from the language of the
sworn defenders of the Constitution and the
Union now in the seats of power at Washing
ton! President Buchanan weeps in private
with terror, lest he should be assassinsted by
the emissaries of Southern treason, and pro-
poses to surrender to them the forts without
which they cannot hope to consummate their
guilty designs 1t is said that he believes
that he will be the last American President
it IS certainly to be hoped that there will
never be another such as he.
