The Form OF Secession.

The following is the form in which the
South Caroliuians dissolved the American
| Union
1--WE, the people Of South Caaolina, in Cor r.
vention assembled, do declare and ordain
that the ordinance adopted by us in conven-
ton on the 25d of May, l7SS, whereby the
Constitution ofthe United States was ratified,
and all acts or past acts Of the General A.
sembly of this State ratfying the amend
meRts to said Constitution are hereby =
pealed, and .he Union now subsisting be-
tween South Carolina and the other States,
under the name of the United States of Amer.
lea, is hereby dissolvcd.'
very convenient way of stepping out-a
very easy-going style of eahoeling obliga-
tions But, there is just one little thing in
the way, and that is that, when South Caro-
lima agreed TO the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, as adopted in the Convention of
the States, she agreed to it in perpetuiiy.-
She did not enter the Union, on condition
that she could leave whenever She felt like
it. The Government was not understood TO
be league between States, but it was COR
dained and established by the people The
people ordained and established 1t was not
the States contracting and stipulating. \
Constitution is not compact or contract,
but it is form of government and, the pow
ers surrendered to it by the people origna,
ting it are irrevocable, except by Revolution
No other method Of breaking up a govern
mental constitution has been known in the
history of the world Had our constitution
been mere league, surely the language o
the instrument would have shown it, bu
there's nota term conveying the idea. Or
the contrary every line of it is instinct with
the idea that the government was a govern
ment of the people and that it was designed
to be perpetual The Constitution declare.
that the lars of the United States are the SUI
preme law Of the land, anything in the Con-
stitution or laws of any State to the contrary
notwithstanding. How absurd, then, to con-
tend that State may nullfy a law of the
Union or prevent the execution of such a
law within its limits
The fact is, that this monstrously ridicu.
! lous proposition was never conceived OF, un-
til long after the adoption Of the Constitu-
ton. 1t remained for the man, whom Jack
son regretted he had not hung, and his fol
lowers more ultra than he, to originate the
damnable heresy that is now poisoning tn,
public sentiment in so many portions of tn,
South. The doctrine has been preached by
scheming demagogues for their own selfsi
purposes, and, it matters but little to them
whether the result of a secession is monarchy
or new Union, so that they can ride into
power and PLACE.
South Carolina has declared herself out,
but ifthere were an Administration in pow er
such as this Government has seen in other
days, she never would make good her decla-
ration, fever.

Hope Cheap for Cash.


Our friend Jenkins, being in good humor
one day, about a month ago. bought for his
amiable wife ticket in Briggs grand rattle
jenkins, from that time forward, has observ-
cd marked change in Mrs. Jenkins. From
being somewhat sharp nervous and severe
in her department, she has grown very calm,
very quiet and very oblgihg. Instead of
jumping up from the table and poking the
fire as grimly as though she were killing
snake, she lingaas long time over her meals
and looks tenderly at Jenkins and expresses
q great deal of solicitude for his well being
both mentally and physically. And when
she sits down to her sewing, instead Of look
ing as though she were mentally repeating
the "song of the shirt" she often lets her
work fall across her lap, and folds her hands
and half closes her eyes and looks as though
she dreamed dreams no mortal ever dared
to dream before" She sometimes surprises
jenkins by such questions as Husband
what would you do if you should suddenly
come in possession of a large fortuneP Or
Husband, if we should come suddenly into
possession of large fortune, do you think We
would travel ami see the great world, or
would we settle down in some beautiful spot
and content ourselves with books -
One day when Jenkins was deeply engag
ed in saving the Union with pen on fools
cap, Mrs. jenkins came up to him very softly
and tapping him on the shoulder, said "pa-
pa, If we were to come suddenly into for
tune, we would mt be under the necessity of
trying to wed daughter to rich man when
she is grown | say, papa, wouldn't it be
nice to have a gentleman and scholar for a
son-in law?' jenkins burst into laugh
Mrs. Jenkins was evidently somewhat hurt,
for the sudden fortune was not alluded to
again till Tuesday evening, when jenkins
asked her for the ticket, and said he would
60 down and see if it drew anything. Mrs.
jenkins asked him the distance to the first
prize farm, and said she thought if they
drew it they had better go down the next
day to see it. jenkins felt it to be his duty
to say 81 hope, my dear that you don
dream, for one moment, that you will draw
anything, You remember what T. Starr
King said, that a man might as reasonably
expect to be struck by lightning as to expect
TO draw prize from a lottery" well" she
answered not the least bit Disconnected, 81
have been in a good many thunder storms
and have always confidently expected to
be struck, 50 see no reason why ! should
not expect to draw prize"
Jenkins informs us that his wifes face
was in cloud for moment when he COM
municated to her the result of the first draw
ing or rattle on Tuesday evening, but it is
now all smiles, and she wonders if Briggss big
orchard up Feather river would bring one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars clear
cash. She says she would like to have that
orchard very much so as TO indulge in the
pleasure of supplying all her friends with
fruit to preserro, every year. The fact is,
says Jenkins, she has sent out and bought
another ticket, and confidently thinks it will
win.

IuE ON DOMINION TEuE AT llEARE-The
Iynchburg Virginian is one of the most able

cent issue il says:
So long as the bones of Washington, JEFF

compatriols who cemented this Union, min
gle with her soil Virginia will be true to her
ancient traditions and to her memories. She
will never desert the Union, with its hallow-

ed every effort of compromise. She knows
full well that nations are not born in day );
that Republics when once broken up are not
easily reconstructed and that, least of all. is
it possible, when the work of disiptegraton

RIDING THE NIGGER-For the last ten
years says the Portland Argus, the abolition
party and its successors, the Republican par
ty, have been riding the negro as a hobby
horse. They have uttered many lamenta-
tions and shed many tears 3crockodile too
often, we fear) over him. All this so far as
the leaders are concerned, was done in the
hope and for the purpose of obtaining power
and Office. They rode the negro Just for the
ride. They now appear to have got their
ride, and may we not very soon expect to
hear them issuing to their followers the Or

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18th, 1851
EauoR DMocRAT:-When a portion of
our members boted yesterday, and voted
with the Breckiurdgers for Wood of Plumas
IA half-shell Democrat--the hope grew up
in the minds of true Democrats that John
Conness could b9 elected by the Democratic
votes proper, and by votes from right min
ded men Of the Opposition who prefer open
and defiant foes, over shily-shallying, apollo
gzingmen who are ever seeking the strong
side. The balloting to-day, however, shows
conclusively that Mr.. Conness can never be
the Speaker. The fact that he voted for the
Bulkhead last winter is made pretext for
oppoiition, and whether it is the real reason
or not, many Of his fliends copcede that it
can and viii be made sufficient excuse for
his defeat The motives of Mr.. Couness in
been impeached on the contrary his integri-
ty is admitted 10y his enemies TO be beyond
question:; but it is a well settled fact that he
cannot be elected. During to-day he has
been unwaveringly supported 10y twenty
three men, Curtis of this county having
paired off with a Republican,, but the indica
tions are plain now that some new man must
be presented by our caucus, or there is a pos
si6ility that some of those who have hitherto
stood by the organization will feel compelled
to assist in effecting an organization at all

tempated tonight, and | will keep this letter
open long enough to record its result, if pos
sible, ! believe that if our friends can, with
the consent of Mr.. Conness, substitute for
him some other man equally true to the doc
trines of our party that man can be elected
tomorrow. Such a man must however, have
voted with our friends throughout, and must
be one of those who favored the nomination
as well as the election of Mr.. Douglas in the
late contest.
The Senate met TO day and adjourned i'm
medately, as no business could be transacted
until the organization of the House.
OF one thing our party friends can rest as
sured, and that is that the regular Democrat
ic members of the House will make no trades
or bargains either with the Breekinridgers OF
Republicans If our party gets the Speaker
it will not be 10y assisting any opposition
man to any position whatsoever. The vote
of Republican and Breckenridge outsider
will be gratefully received by our caucu
nominees, but they will never be fought.

On previous occasions we have alluded to
the inability Of a female teacher to enforce
discipline in a school of forty or fifty boys
We are fully confirmed in the opinion then
| expressed.
A lady may preserve order during school
hours, but, when outside of The school house,
the boys are beyond her control.-Erpreas.
We must beg leave to differ with our CO.
temporary on this head a female teacher
of good sense, will enforce discipline much
better than the most masculine male who is
not fitted for the responsibility. A good
teacher, whether male or female, will he apt
to keep good order. As for outdoor trans
gressions, no teacher could be expected to
prevent them save 10y a general moral intiu
ence over the pupils Certainly neither
man nor woman, in the capacity of teacher
could be expected to tag around after boys
big and little, up and down the streets or on
their way home, to see how they conducted
themselves and to keep them straight The
Express Acknowledges that a lady may pre-
serve order during school hours. Very well
after school hours, it is the business Of pa
rents and guardians to regulate the conduct
of their children and wards. Perhaps the
Express may mean that the boys will be rude
upon the play ground if there is female
teacher Very well. they have been equally
rude, with male teachers.
We are of the opinion that it would be
good idea to have as many female teachers
as possible, in preference to males. Females
are better adapted to the business because
teey have more tact and more winning gem
tleness. If boy is uncontrollable let him
be discharged. Uncomfortable boys have no
business to be in any school, and they will
be Just as apt to defy man rs a woman, if
they have been badly trained by their pa
rents. lfthey have proper government at
home they will not be beyond control at
the school house or on the school grounds.
Besides, we think female teachers should
be employed, in preference to males, because
the latter are robust enough as a general
thing, to make their living by harder en-
ployment. AT any rate they are capable of
severer labors of body than is possible to
females, and therefore, if for no other reason,
we would like to see discrimination in favor
of the gentler sex

The Proof that they are no Friends TO
the Constitution and the Union.

The more we look at the secession move
ment the more we are convinced of the de-
liberately reasonable motives of those who
lead that movement. First, they assume
that to be fact which is not fact, and then
urge the right themselves to break up the
Union 10y being allowed to go out of it, with
out hindrance by the Federal Government.
What they assume to be fact is that the
Administration Of Mr.. Lincoln will break
through the Constitution, and oppress the
South; therefore they tell US, they are re
solved to take time by the fore loek"-they
are resolved to foresall the action of Mr..
Lincoln by separating themselves from the
Union. Such Of these men as are members Of
Congress, know very well that, if they would
stand at their posts, like men desirous of do
Ing their duty to their constituents, no con-
stitutional right of the South could he broken.
The Senate and the House of Representatives
are the places where these men should stand
ready to drive back any apprehended wave
of Northern oppression.
But instead of this, we fnd that they are
preparing to desert their posts and fly from
the field before the enemy has even made his
appearance. 1t is useless to allude to the
well known fact, that the Republicans are in
a minority in Congress, and hence can pass
no measure in the face of united opposition.
The coward flies from fear of defeat or death.
but that man is traitor, who, not coward
basely abandons the field to an inferior enc
my, before the hour of danger-especially
when he asserts that that enemy is his great
est one. Now, how is it with these men in
Congress, who, while protesting to fight for
the Constitution, urge retreat from those
whom they allege to be the only enc
emies of the Constitution, before those enc
mics have any power to injure themY If
they are sincere in their professions of love
for the Constitution, let them remain in Con
gress and fight for it-thore is the place for
them. But, according to their asseverations.
it is not the place where they desire to be or
to fight. Well, then, they are not for the
Constitution and the Union.
