We have read the late speech of South Carolina’s Senator with peculiar . gratification. Not that the sentiments avowed agree entirely with our own, but that a South Carolinan has in these times been found who dared to utter so thany truths with so few untruths. The . speech on many points is fair and characterized with ability. Mr. Hammond . belongs to the aristocracy of wealth, and . reared under the influences of the pecu liar institution, must be expected to hold, or affect, notions of labor, different from those we entertain. ‘This wecan tolerate. It was what we expected— . But we expected, also, to read a speech . coming ou this occasion fiom a former . disutnionist and fuillifier, and present . Calhounist, replete with dogmatism and . fire-eating sentiments. In this we have ; been happily somewhat disappointed. . From some of the remarks, the orator . seems to have been laboring under a_ condemnation to some extent by his constituents, for his course in the Sen ate on Kansas affairs, and takes occa. sion to survey the whole giound in that . controversy in connection with the po. sition of the South in and to the Union. . Senator Hammond abandons the favorite theme of the Scuth—-the tenance of the balance of power be. tween the free and slave states, and . mainEXxPLaNaTory. — In remaking last] Wuat a DIFFERENCE.—Commenting week upor the difficulty which has. on the speech of Senator Seward at grown up with the County Treasurer,!

Well, there are two parties dividing public . the truth is, the speech of Hammond is sentiment in reference to the affairs of . intensely sectional, it is about as long as the ‘l'reasurer. We aimed to be as. Seward’s and there is nothing in it but moderate as possible, having no wish . niggers from end to end. No other questo prejudice a case which is shortly to . tion but slavery and the social system be investigated by ajury taken from the . of the South is touched at all. Yet, Mr. unbiased portion of our citizens, We. Hammond—threatning to destroy the thought and still think if the county has .

In this. ed by the Sacramento Union as dealing course we find ourselves sustained by . iu ¢ruthful, rational and national senticorrect thinking men, as well friends. ments!

Mexico now consecrated, to freedom would, under the American flag, create a market for distingnished South Attempting to exculpate an unactoo unguarded. Whether “any but quarterly licenses” were of any account to the county matters not. But the public should understand it is not the business of the Controller to send a batch of licenses unless upon the order of the County Auditor. No fault can rest with the Controller, then, in this business, as the National would insinuate. . But we have not sufficient interest in this apparent game of crimination and ! . . . . . . recrimination to pursue it further. Sin' cereiy we hope that punishment will be , meted out to every guilty official. 1 — Tue San Juan SuooTine AFFRAY. on Thursday night of last week, four men were playing “poker” in a saloon . at North San Juan.

In every as. peet of the case, surveying the whole ground calmly and dispassionately, the Senator tells his hearers to be content as possille with their condition ; and as reasons for contentment he points them to the vast territory they already pos sess, its uniimited resources, to the fact that they have controlled the Union in times agone and can do so again; and as a balm to the chafing spirit of er in the leg.

We have read the late speech of South Carolina’s Senator with peculiar . gratification. Not that the sentiments avowed agree entirely with our own, but that a South Carolinan has in these times been found who dared to utter so thany truths with so few untruths. The . speech on many points is fair and characterized with ability. Mr. Hammond . belongs to the aristocracy of wealth, and . reared under the influences of the pecu liar institution, must be expected to hold, or affect, notions of labor, different from those we entertain. ‘This wecan tolerate. It was what we expected— . But we expected, also, to read a speech . coming ou this occasion fiom a former . disutnionist and fuillifier, and present . Calhounist, replete with dogmatism and . fire-eating sentiments. In this we have ; been happily somewhat disappointed. . From some of the remarks, the orator . seems to have been laboring under a_ condemnation to some extent by his constituents, for his course in the Sen ate on Kansas affairs, and takes occa. sion to survey the whole giound in that . controversy in connection with the po. sition of the South in and to the Union. . Senator Hammond abandons the favorite theme of the Scuth—-the tenance of the balance of power be. tween the free and slave states, and . mainEXxPLaNaTory. — In remaking last] Wuat a DIFFERENCE.—Commenting week upor the difficulty which has. on the speech of Senator Seward at grown up with the County Treasurer,!

The burthen of it, says the Union intended. The Grass Valley National . is niggers. It is niggers first; last and discovers an insinuation and takes it for . all the time, and the speech is sectional granted as leveled at the County Audi-. and its sentiments astonishing: tor, and asks us tomake specific charges. Remarking upon the speech of SenaIt was not our intent to reflect upon . tor Hammond a few days later, the same 'a single county official in the article of. paper takes occasion to commend the last week.

Well, there are two parties dividing public . the truth is, the speech of Hammond is sentiment in reference to the affairs of . intensely sectional, it is about as long as the ‘l'reasurer. We aimed to be as. Seward’s and there is nothing in it but moderate as possible, having no wish . niggers from end to end. No other questo prejudice a case which is shortly to . tion but slavery and the social system be investigated by ajury taken from the . of the South is touched at all. Yet, Mr. unbiased portion of our citizens, We. Hammond—threatning to destroy the thought and still think if the county has .

In this. ed by the Sacramento Union as dealing course we find ourselves sustained by . iu ¢ruthful, rational and national senticorrect thinking men, as well friends. ments!

North and her foreign allies. ‘The present domain of the United States must be carved into free States, and Mr. Hammond allows free labor may yet compete with slave in Texas. if we acquire new territory from Mexico, or annex Cuba, the Garolinan sees no benefit to acerue to Vne peculiar institution. Mexico now consecrated, to freedom would, under the American flag, create a market for distingnished South Attempting to exculpate an unactoo unguarded. Whether “any but quarterly licenses” were of any account to the county matters not. But the public should understand it is not the business of the Controller to send a batch of licenses unless upon the order of the County Auditor. No fault can rest with the Controller, then, in this business, as the National would insinuate. . But we have not sufficient interest in this apparent game of crimination and ! . . . . . . recrimination to pursue it further.
