The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-12
snIclilnI PoIIcv.

The Southern States in seeding from the
Union, are acting on the same principle,
and with about as much reason, as the man
who committed suicide on account of his
great dread of death. The avowed object
of the secessionsts is to place the institn-
tion of slavery under the exclusive control
and protection of the States interested in
its preservation but their scheme for per-
petuating the institution is the most certain
that could be adopted to destroy it. Ii
they succeed In breaking up the Confedera-
cy, slavery will not only be confined within
its present limits, but will rapidly retreat
from the border States. The dreams Of the
disunlonists, of conquering Mexico and
Central America, and building up mag
nihcent slave-hOlding government, Will
never be realized and there being no out
let to the southwark, the slaves in the Cot
to1 States will soon outnumber the whites
three to one. In less than century-per-
haps in half that time-the Gulf States
would be In possession Of the blacks. The
whites would either run away and leave
the slaves, or the latter would rise and take
the country. While Yancey aud bis follow
ers are endeayoring to break up the Con-
federacy in order to perpetuate slavery,
Wendell Phillips is congratulatng bis fol-
lowers in Boston on the prospect Of a dis
solution, and the inevitable destruction of
tho institution which must follow. OF the
two classes of agitators, the abolitiOnists
have the clearest heads.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-12
penceobIo DIssoIutIon.

A dispatch from Washington gives a sy.
nopss of the minority report Of the House
Committee of Thrty-three, signed by Tay-
lor of La, Phelps of Mo-, Rusk Of Ark,
Whitley of Del, and Winslow ofN.C G. They
say that the present difficulties can only be
settled by the adoption of the amendments
proposed by Senator Crittenden; and if they
cannot be adopted by the constitutional
majority then a dissolution of the Union is
inevitable. The report recommends that
steps be taken for calling convention of
all the States, in order to adjust the terms
of peaceable division.
There seems to be but little prospect of
the passage of Crittenden's resolutions, and
if the Southern States are determined to
secede, it were better, If possible, that the
sections should separate in peace. Very
few, however, believe in the possibility OF
peaceable dissolution of the Confederacy,
and for that reason it is not likely that any
steps will be taken by Congress to call
convention to arrange an amicable separa-
tiou. Dissolution must be attended by civ
il war, and it matters but little how or
where it commences II may begin on the
western frontier for the possession Of dispu-
ted territory, and thence extend to the AT
lantic; il may commence at the Federal
Capital in an attempt to prevent the inau-
guration of Lincoln, or from hundred 9TH
er causes; and the fighting once begun, the
war will continue until the resources OF
both sections are exhausted.
If there was natural boundary between
the sections-such as a chain of mountains
or an uniuhabitable desert--a peaceable
separation might be effected; but the diff
Guilty of drawing the line, if no othery rem
ders peaceable division out Of the ques-
tion.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-12

POPULATION AND WEALTH.-The assessed
valuation of the real and personal property
of the State, for 1860, was $l4s, ,l93,54O OF.
This would give about $4OO to every man,
woman and child in the State, if it was
equally distributed, and is somewhat less
than the average wealth Of the whole pop
ulation of the United States. In 1850 the
total valuation Of the United States was
over eleven billions of dollars--being about
$475 for each inhabitant. In New York,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and perhaps
one or two other States, the average wealth
Of the inhabitants is over 1000 each.

UNION MEETING AT OAKLAND.-A large
meeting Of the citizens of Alameda county
was held al Oakland on Wednesday evening
last. Hon. F. K. Shattuck presided; adj
dresses we're delivered by Messrs. Frye,
Worthington and Cornwall; letters we're
read from J. B. Crockett, Ed. Stanly, and
John Currey, and the following resolutions
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, l. That the Government Of the
United States was formed to be perpetual, and
cannot be dissolved except by revolution.
q That the Constitution Of the United States
confers on the General Government sufficient
power to maintain the integrity Of the Uniony
and enforce the laws of Congress.
3. That secession is but another name for
treason against the Government.
4. That, as citizens of California, we will aid
the general government with our entire strength
in maintaining the integrity of the Union, and
enforcing the laws of Congress.
5. That to apologize for the present secession
movement is to aid and abet treason.
6. That the scheme of Pacific Republic is
but a cloak for secession and treason, and its
advocates are enemies to the true interes Of Cal
ifornia.
7. That we fully approve the resolute and pa
triotic conduct of Major Anderson, and the de-
termination Of the President to sustain him and
enforce the laws.
8. That in thus giving expression to our un-
alterable attachment to the Federal Union, we
are actuated only by solemn sense of duty
which we owe to a Union purchased by the blood
Of our fathers, and which has advanced the ma
ton with unexampled speed in the career of
and glory.
The meeting then adjourned with nine
cheers for the Union.
