HG South Carolina has declared herself
out OF the Union, and sent Commissioners to
Washington to treat with the Federal Govern
ment. Buchanan's imbecility and pusillanim.
ty will, we suppose, induce him to grant them
an audience, and probably acknowledge their
independence. Our heartfelt wish is that the
weak old man, had the pluck to abide by his
oath OF office, and uphold the Constitution and
execute the laws. There never was a better
season for gathering to the gallows, a huge
crop OF traitors. The opinion sometimes forces
itself upon us that James Buchanan died from
the effects Of the National Hotel Poisoning
affair, and that his reported subsequent inaugu-
ration, and Administration, has been a pre.
tence and cheat.
The weekly Butte record., 1861-01-12
presented. The failure of the Administrations

presented. The failure of the Administrations
of Pierce and Buchanan to crush out the nulli-
ication laws of some of the Northern States,
did not justify secession from the Convention
of the National Democracy, nor will it justify
revolutionary action on the part of the South
ern States. The remedy is within the Union,
and, so long as the Southern States remain
true to the Federal compact, there is DO posi-
bic result of circumstances that can arise to
unite any two branches of the Federal Govern
ment against their constitutional rights but
the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial depart
ments of the Government will operate as &C.
signed by the Framers of the Constitution, a
check upon each other.
There is much more in Mr.. Bells letter,
which we should be pleased to notice, but We
have no great taste for extensive exhibitions
of personal opinion on topics that befog. if not
Statesmen, those at least, who occupy the posi-
ton of Statesmen in the Government. What
National Democratic papers have said against
Northern treason breeders has not, thus far,
effected much in staying their revolutionary
proceedings and whatever we might say con-
cerning the reraliatory measures of the fiery
South, will have but little or no weight with
those who view secession as foregone conclu-
sion, and, throwing every consideration behind
them, press forward to its consummation.
! 1t matters not upon what theory Mr.. Lin
coin obtained his election, he can only admin
lister the Government upon the principles ad-
vocated by Douglas. Had young Mr.. Breck-
inridge been elected, he would have been forced
to the same governing principles The stupen-
dous effort of Buchanan to adopt different
administrative policy. was a failure, and has
resulted in the disruption of his cabinet, and
the precipitation of the Government into its
present difficulties.

The Bulkhead.

We are in favor of bulkhead for San Fran
cisco. and think that the city ought to build
Il and have the revenue derived from it until
it has paid for itself, when it should be free
Briefly. our plan would be this: The wharves
will soon belong to the city. The revenue de-
rived from them, under careful and economical
manaoement, M will be sufficient to build sea
wall for the harbor of San Francisco. The
city should assume the work, under the guild
ance of a competent engineer, and faithful
and energetic superintendent and push it to
completon as fast as the revenue derived
from the wharves would permit.
We do not see the policy of permitting the
bukhead question to interfere, year after year,
with the duties of the Legislature, nor do we
believe in giving companies a franchise that
will rob the city of millions, just as the city is
coming into possession of the wharves.
The bulkhead made Mr.. Latham Senator,
because he was known to be pledged against
it. 1t was upon this ground that Governor

Let us suppose a case Gov. Downey is op
posed to the bulkhead as it was presented last
winter. Is Pablo De la Guerra? No sabe.
But suppose he is not. He has been elected
President of the Senate, without caucus
nomination, by fusion of the Breckenridge
and Republican votes, some Democrats also
voting for him-for, politically, he is Demo-
crat. The Union thinks his election without
a caucus nomination. is good thing for the
people, We shall see.
There is another Senator to be chosen this
winter. Supposing our present excellent Gov
ernor should be elected successor to Gwin. If
tie bulkhead elected Latham last winter, why
can it not elect Downey now? We have not
word to say against him for that position =
He is a clear-headed, faithful, Union loving
man, Just such as we need in Congress at the
present time, and if the bulkhead elects him.
he will hardly decline on that account.
Well, Pablo De Ia Guerra is Governor, and
the bulkhead goes through the Legislature
We believe the city ought to build it as above
