The Election in Placer.

This event passed Oft very quietly conf
sid-ring the condition Of the public mind
upon national questions. and the intensity
of interest personally in the result. Besides
the Office of Superintendent, of Public In.
struction. and the four important political
'silions in the Legislature. there were a
half dozen county offices, Welding in the
aggregate, to the incumben;s and their
suhordina,es, over twenty six thousand doh
lars per annum. These were mixed M in
the canvass with struggle in the Townships,
for places sought after by the Influential
men in the neighboriood. In this fierce
scramble for place, private interest often
ohscured the judgment, with relation to
ublic dnlies-a lust for office, the devotion
of the patriot. Notwithstanding these facts,
the vote Of the county is comparatively
fght--at least n thousand short of what it
was 10y good judges believed it would be.

State Sovereignty.

- Of all the stupid and mischevious false
hoods, rersistenlly insisted upon, by all the
abolition press Of the country. none is more
so in tendency, than that which has beer
announced by Mr. Lincoln himself, ignoring
the sovereignty Of the States. 1t is INSISTED
that the doctrines upon this question, AZ
taught by Mr.. Jefferson, Madison, jackson
and others, is the great heresy OF tho day
the very original sin, that has brought all
the evil Of these times upon the land, and
that there will be no peace order, or securI'
ty, until this doctrine is exploded. That
upon this false theory. is secession rest
ing for its basis, and that TO restore Union
and fixed nationality, the Federal Govern
ment must be restored into irresisa able, un
questionable supremacy over the States
Mr.. Lincoln asserts, that the states have no
sovereignty, that their position bears the
same relation to the Federal Government,
that County does to State-that if II
State may protest against the action OF the
Federal Government, a county may with
equal propriety resist the action of State.
the present we deem proper occasion to
illustrate the utter untruthfulness of these
positions.
In the election of 1860 Mr. Lincoln did
not receive a majority Of the popular vote of
the United States, lie lacked over a million
of votes of such a result Indeed he re.
ccived scarce minority of the flee States.
Yet the impression is quite prevalent that
Lincoln is not only lawfully elected but that
his is the fair exponent Of the majority Of
American voters, and hence the great wick
edness on the part OF the South, to turn
about and resist under their cherished but
nischevious State right doctrine.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Lincoln was under
the lettr of the Constitution legally elected,
but lie nor any of his supporters can claim
even this to be true, unless they fall back
upon this very falsifed doctrine of State
rights. lie received the electoral votes Of
enough States to authorize his election, and
if he does not depenl upon this as his an
thoriily, to hold his place. then he and all
his subordinates, are impos;ers and usurpers.
Massachusetts, gave her fifty thousand mat
jori,v for Lnroln, and New Jersey her four
thousand for Dongas, ye. 10y virtue OF their
right Of States. New Jersey east her vote for
Douglas, and the same rule applies to other
States and in this way Lincoln obtained the
votes of enough States to elect him. If,
therefore, Mr.. Lincoln does not hold hy vir
tue of the sovereignty of States, lie is not
President to day.
But how is it with the vote of countless

dent of Public Instruction. The vote is not

has the plurality to the aggregate vote, will
be declared elected. Tie proposition is too
plain to admit OF further iIIustralon--lhat
which is ncomprehenshle about that ques'
ton, is that any human being upon the facts,
should have the impuJence to contend
against so plain truth.

notice in the Cincinnati Daily Connorci 4
Of Dec. 2lst, the following allaaiou to that

was at Connerssille on recruiting expedi-

penned the article. The Commercial says:
an recent letter to the London Times.
Mr.. VIM. l.. Yancv. one Of the so called

brethren by asserting that he had never
been IN favor OF the renewal Of the African
slave trade. Unfortunately for Yancy. this
intrepid falsehood fell under the notice Of
his old law partner, Mr. Robert s. Tharin, in
London at the time, and who, in lie. ter to
the News, shows that Yancy is as big liar
as he is traitor Both Mr.. Yancy and Mr..
Tharin were delegates to the Southern Com
mercial Convention at Montgomery, May,
1858; and at that Convention, Iancy ode
nounced the Federal laws prohibiting the
slave trade, as partial to the Northern man

cultural and commercial Interests Of the

time offered the following resolution:
