No SUCH THING As PEAcEABLE SECESSION
The Sierra Citizen, taking practical view of
the grand question of the day, holds the fol-
lowing language:


There being no provision in the constitu-
tion of the United States by which peaceable
secession can be effected, it seems that rebel
lion and civil war will be inevitable, provi-
ded southern States persist in the execution
of their avowed plans. We arrive at this
conclusion from the fact that the Chief Magis.
trate of the United States, by his oath to
maintain the Constitution, and to see that the
laws are faithfully executed will be COM
PEELED TO act in the premises. To say that
South Carolina can withdraw from the Con-
iederacy, repudiate her proportion of the
National debt, retain the National property
and works within her borders, with impuni-
ty, seems preposterous Hence, again, we
say that peaceable secession, without the
requisite consent on the part of the general
government, which can be brought about
only 10y amendment to the constitution, can
not be effected Again, the harbor at Charles.
ton is port of entry. not of South Carolina,
but of the United States; other States than
that are interested in this port. The govern
ment works at Charleston do not belong to



interest as one of the States of the Confeder-
acy Thus viewing the question of secession,
considering the coniedelated ties and the
demonstrations at the South, it would seem
that the time had arrived when affairs wore
the most serious aspect-when we may well
ask-how will it terminate? The Governor
ofSouth Carolina says ifthe Federal Govern
ment refuses to surrender the harbOr defen-
ses, or interfere with her imports or exports,
| they South Caroinians) must accept the
issue and meet it as becomes men and freemen,
who infinitely prefer annihilation TO disgrace
Is this not going so far that they cannot back
out without disgrace? That the Federal
Government will not surrender the harbor
defenses, there is no good reason to doubt
and in regard to interference with the i'm
ports and exports, the Federal Government
will simply require a compliance with Ma
tional laws. Entertaining these views in re.
lation TO the differences between the North
and South, would it not seem that the Amer.
can people were on the very verge of civil
war? How extensive it may be, no one can
foresee 1t may be stayed by honorable com.

whelm and destroy the integrity of the Ma
tion. We hope for the best.

We are gratfed to learn that Judge Manly
has been elected Supreme Court Judge by a
very flattering vote;-in the Senate the vote
was unanimous, and in the House he obtained
over hundred Our Legislators showed much
good sense in this selection and in refusing to
let party spirit have anything to do with such
elections. In the whole State no one could
have been found more worthy of the ermine
than the distinguished gentlemen on whom the
Legislature has placed it. Judge Manly is
not only an ornament to the Bench but in the
social circle and in the private walks of life he
is a star of the first magnitude, Here where
he is best known he is most loved.


All the appointments of Governor Ellis on
the Superior Court Bench have also, we learn,
been confirmed, all of which we doubt not will
give general satisfaction.

honorable men all over the world feel the
utmost contempt for the man who Will attempt
to blast the reputation of another by the testi-
mony Of notorious liars and thieves. And why?
The reason is patent 10 every honest man, and
hence need not be named. For the same reason
no honest Democrat will attempt to impeach the
Democracy or honor Of lifelong Democrat,
upon the testimony of baek-hearted Abolition
lists. And yet certain contemplate creatures in
the Breckinridge ranks have the unblushing
meanness to attempt to prove that Douglas is
not true Democrat BY the testimony of such
men as Anson Burlingame and Senator Wilson,
Of Massachusetts, Lovejoy and Trumbull of H.
linois, and John P Hae-all notorious Aboli-
ZIONIST, Old line Democrats, what do you
think of such witnesses? What do you think
of the Democrats who attempt to use them to
injure Democrat?


But the very fellows who avail themselves of
such dirty testimony against Douglas, forget to
state that every of the witnesses quoted de-
nounces Douglas in the most bitter terms, and

praise Breckenridge They forget that even
in this State the Republican editors and speak
ers everywhere encourage the Brcckinridgers,
and endeavor to make the Democrats believe
that the only way to carry this State against
Lincoln is to vote for Breckenridge Doug
las stands no show.


Now, does it not strike every man of sense
that if the Blacks believed this, they would
not tell it? We know they are moving heaven
and earth to carry this State. They already
have the figures, so they say, to prove that they
beat the Breckinridgers by at least FIVE thou
sand. They think, if they can induce few thou
sands Of the Douglas men to vote for Breckn-
ridge, under the impression that he alone can
carry the State against Lincoln, they may stand
a fair show Of winning the State against Doug
las, whom alone they are fighting. Hence,..is it
not absurd to suppose that they would show
the Democracy how to carry the State against
Lincoln? We ask any Brecknridger whether
he really believes that the Blacks would hon
estly tell them the best way to carry the State
against Lincoln? On the contrary, every sane
man must see that the Blacks are trying to
fool somebody"-are tr, ing to get Douglas
men to throw away their votes upon a man
who cannot possibly carry the State. Does it
not look that way? Ponder this question well
before you vote.

by such objects as generally gain the attention of
children. His mental condition was such as to
excite great and constant anxiety in the mothers
mind; and the first medical men in the kingdom
were called in frequent and anxious consultation
on the subject. They united in recommending
ming and forcing his weak intellect, his guardi-
ans should give him light and agreeable exercise
of mind as well as Of body. This course was
adopted; and the result is that child of natural
ly feeble powers, by good management, has been
reared into youth of barely respectable intelli-
gence.
