LATHAM's SrEEcH.-The following are Senator
Latham S remarks, delivered in the U. S. Senate,
December 10th, during the debate on Powell's
paciiicatory resolutions:
Mr. Latham-Mr President ii is not my pur
pose to address the Senate at this time upon the
pending resolution. | rise to correct n false I'M
preston upon the public mind, as have seen it
published in several leading journals of the
country, as TO the attitude OF California in the
present crisis 1t has been said and by many
believed, that IN the event of secession OF several
of the States of the Union, California would
avail herself of the opportunity to declare her
own independence, and in conjunction with the
other territory Of the United ates on the Pacific,
would form a Pacific Republic Mr.. President,
there is not n word Of truth in this idea, and 1T
does great in Justice to the people of that State.
This Union has no more loyal subjects than the
people Of California; and out OF her hall million
population, believe there are not many who are
for disunion in any shape. California will remain
in the Union as it is and as it may be. Aud if,
as seems now to be conceded, the cotton States
withdraw from the Union, and are eventually
followed by all the Southern States, California
am certain, will still remain with the great West
and the North, with whom she is Identified.
[Symptoms of applause In the galeries.)
In addressing this body upon the lSth OF April
last | foreshadowed the idea Of Pacific Repub
lie upon the dissolution of the existing Union.
am satisfied upon more mature delioeratlon, to
say the least was premature For, whatever
may he my own opinion of the right or wrong of
the present agitating question: question IN
which California has no present or vital interest
/ feel it my bounden duty to thus give, not only
my own opinion, but, one Of her representa-
tves, to state what believe the voice Of her ma
jority. There is but one thing which will or can
ALLEVIATE the affections Of the people OF the Pacific
from the Union as it is or as it may be, aud that
is, failure to give them Pacific Railroad, and,
until this is completed, overland mail facilities.
Upon this question they are clamorous, urgent,
unanimous; and, since the great West and North
are thoroughly committed to this material idea,
their loyalty cannot be questioned | shall, Mr..
President at some future dey, with the iudul-
genee Of the Senate, submit a few reasons for
this opinion, and also alude to the present con
dition of the country, but not until other Sena-
tors are heard, who rank me in age, experience

In whose stern faith to die?

Whence the Christians humble hope

How fondly do trace,
Through many weary year long past,
That calm and sanity face
How often do call to mind

The place, the hour, in which she drew
My early thoughts to God
'''Twas then she took this sacred book
And from its burning page
Read how its truths support the soul
In youth and failing age
And bade me in its precepts live,
Aud by its precepts die,
That might share home of love
In worlds beyond the sky,
"My father, shall | look above,
Amid this gathering gloom,
To Him whose promises OF love
Extend beyond the tomb?
Or curse the being who hath blessed
This cbeckered path of mine,
And promises eternal rest

Passed like a cloud away,

AN ASTRONOMERS VIEW OF THE UNIvEEsE.-In
waiting ourselves in imagination to our own sat
! elite, the moon-the nearest of our celestial
bodies-we have passed over a distance equal to
thirty times the diameter of our globe. In ad
vancing to the sun we travc! over q distance
equal to thirty times that of the moon and be
fore we reach Uranus, the remotest of the plan
cts, we have traversed space equal to twenty
| times the earths distance from the sun Thus
placed at the limits of system enclosed in a
| circle of eighteen hundred millions of miles in
radius, our appreciation OF distance would appear
to be on the margin of an unfathomable abyss.
The telescope, however, and the mural circle
enable us to span the void, and the genius of
man, proud of the achieve ment--and justly, il
hnmbly proud-has crossed the gulf twelve thou
sand times the radius of his own system, that
may study the nearest world in the armament of
heaven. Beyond this frontier lies the whole uni
of stars, their binary systems, their clusters,
and their nebulous combinations. The observed
paralaX of one fourth of second in a Lyra
carries us four times as far into the hosom of
space though beyond this, rs we have no posi-
tive measure of distance, it would be as unphil-
osophcal to assign limits to creation as to give
it an infinite range. In this rapid flight into
space we have traced is but unit in the scale of
celestial distance. Creation in its wide panorama
is still above us, beneath us aud around us. The
over arching heavens still inel0se u.s. and nnu
merabe worlds sparkle in its canopy.
II from this bourne, from which the astronom-
ical traveller alone returns, look upon our
course, our own planetary system ceases to be
perceived. Its sun is dim, itself but an Invisible
point in the nebulOus light that intervenes
Where, then, is our terrestrial ball its oceans,
its continents, its mountains, its empires its dy
nastes its thrones? Where is our fatherland,
its factions, its christians disunons, its crimes
aud its unholy wars Where is our home its
peace, its endearments its hopes, aud its fears
Where is man, intellectual mOnad, the only atom
of organic lite that can pierce the depths and in
terpret the enigma OF the universe and yet the
only spark of a spiritual nature which diselams
the authority and resists the will of the universal
King. They have all disappeared in the far-oil
perspective, the long vista of space, whose apex,
| we're il sun, the hugest telescope would fail to
descry. No living thing here meets the eye, and
no sentiment associated with life presses on the
affections. The tiny organisms Of earth aud
ocean, everything that moves and breathes that
lives, and dies, all are engul phed in the great
conception of the universe The stranng mind
cannot unite the immeasurabe extremes. The
infinite in space, the eternal in duration, the ON
nipotent in power, the perfect in wisdom, alone
fill the expanded soul, aud portray in their awful
combination the Creature OF the uniVerse.-Norat

A SOCIAL School or SCIENCE.-The New York
CeaturV lameuts the absence of all social science
in the United States, and recommends an annual
assembly OF the best men in America alternately
in the principal cities of the country, to deliber-
ate like gentlemen and christians" on the vari-
Gus social phenomena of our every day life 1t
would give rise to a new literature Immediately.
II would attract every mind that has burdens to
bear, every class that has work to do, every man
that has capacity for thought. How strange that
sucb universal want should not be answered !
The needle-woman is giving birth TO a consump-
tive race and thousands of healthy girls are
focking into our cities every year, to keep up
the progeny; the day laborer is living from hand
to mouth. and leaving pitiable bequest of wild
ows and children in grinding poverty aud crime,
and there is no end to the influx of day laborers;
hives of human beings swarm in tenement houses
without ventilation; rum shops cost every com
munty nine tenths of its sum of criminal expen-
ses, and yet they are fostered by law wife
