Seabase a ge FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 28, 1860. . Caxistwas.—The annual Christmas mers . ty-making is just passed. Old and young, high and low, grave and gay, sil partake of . the festivities of the time, as their progenitors have done befere them in the unnumbezed cycles of ages that are gone. The. taemory of man runneth not back to the origin of the custom. It is a good and pleasaut observance of a day consecrated to joy and gladness by immemorial usage, . and let the custom remain to give delight to generations yet unborn, even te the end . of time. Nevertheless it may not be improper to examine the pepular belief rela. tive to the origin of Christmas as a chris. Sian heliday. We have been taught to regard it as the avspicious morn on which . Christ first opened his eyes on this sincursed earth. Happy as may be all the associations connected with such teachings, it is probably a fiction. The precise day on which the Savior first-saw light, is in obsecurity. The 25th of December was fixed by the Romans whe had no reliable infortration on the question, and certainly are . no better authority on the point than the christian churches ef olden time. Gibbon observes that the churches of Egypt, Asia, and perhaps Gaul, celebrated on the same day (the sixth of Jannary) the nativity and baptism of their Savior. From this it would appear that Christmas and Epiphany by these churches were formerly observed . as one. : It is probable the Romans placed the! struct that identical rope of sand he had /the present crisis of the party might seek event of the bitth of Christ on the 25th of . December to niake it conform to the festival of the birth of the sun observed by the Pagan world at the Winter Solstice, and in . some respects the Saturnalia and Christmas . rites much resemble each other. The Pa-. gan festival was the most noted of any in the Roman calendar, and was at first cele. brated on the 19th of December, but by . order of Caligula and Claudius it was ex. tended to seven days ending on the 25th.— . This was a holy or happy week, preceding and succeeding the winter Solstice, duriag . which presents were exchanged, slaves sat . at the table with, and were even waited upon by, their masters, peace reigned and all was mirth and happiness. Among the Scandinavians the feast of . Thor, corresponding with the feast of the . Romans in honor of Saturn, occurred at the annual cutting of the mistletoe, on the sixth day of the moon nearest the new year.— . The Druids held.an annual festival at about the same time. It seems, therefore, proba. ble that a day of “peace on earth and good . will te men” corresponding in a great de. gtee to our Christmas both in point of time . and nature of its observances, was celebra. ted by the inhabitants of Europe, and perhaps the whole world before the introduc. tion of christianity, and it is not at all un. likely that the primitive christians in celebrating Christmas, or the day of the nativity of Christ, were but continuing a custom received from their pa gan progenitors only . ascribing to it a character in consonance . with the new faith. How it may be matters not. Christmas is a season of happy reunions, of innocent delights, of pleasant memories. May it be so forever. May tables be loaded and more Punches write impromptus after Christmas . dinners—as did Punch the Great, “Tt may not be—go maidens, zo, Nor tempt me to the mistletee ; I once could dance beneath its bough, But must not, will not, can not, now!

This important State document arrived in the Sac. Union, just as out last isswe had sage we would, did space permit, give entire. As howetér it hes already reached most of our readers, a republication is scarcely necessary. We shall therefore ¢on= . tent ourselves with a few comments. The President presents a curious argament on the right of secession. It is what the Tawyers term a non seguitur. First, he . affirms there is no constitutional right of a State to withdraw from the Union. He asserts, and truly, we think, that the Constitution is an emanation of the people, and is as much a part of the Constitution of each State as if it had been textually inserted therein. He declares the framers of the Constitution intended to construct a government vhich should not contain within ft the seeds of its own destruction. It was . built for all time, and contains within itself }the power for its own preservation. He stigmatizes the insinuation that the Union was made arope of sand, as a libel upon the wise statesmen who founded it. Buehanan’s assertions and declarations thus . far are of the old sort, and sound well.— . There is nothing Calhounish, but there is ithe ring of the genuine Websterian mettle in them. But, like a cow that gives a good pail of milk and then kicks it over, Mr. Buchanan, haying gone so far, faces about and tells his readers that our patriot fathers did conjust affirmed they did not make. He tells us there is uo constitutional power to step a State from gving out of the Union if it chooses, and is determined so to do. It is true, the President makes 2 distinction between secession and revolution. The d'saffected States assert their right under the Constitution to withdraw from the Union at pleasure. Mr. Buchaman denies this right but points out to them the proper mode— revolution. The distinction difference. For the secession States, if we is Without a separate. It matters not what excuse they give for so doing, or by what right they justify the step. We do not allow an offender ina court uf justice to name the crime for which he is arraigned. Whether South Carolina sets up for herself on the plea that the Constitution gives her the right, or whether she doesso by revolution matters not tous. Her attitude towards us, provided she acts only on the defensive, is exactly the same. There is no use qnibbling about the constitutionality of the In both cases the treatment can be but the same. We are not going to bomThat would be nonsense. Yet, Buchanan leaves the implication that the Constitution has the intrinsic strength to defend itself against the right claimed by South Carolina, but that The prm®eipal part of it is . . devoted to the secession question. The ar. gument on this point, and indeed the mesDenver fét the U. S. Senate. Our text on this occasion is, it is reported Senator Chase 6f this county favors the election of Denver to the U.S. Senate.— That the report has foundation thete is too much proof. It is understood our séhior Senator so expressed himself before leaving . his constituents, and rumor tells some of j our eotemporaries the same tale. The great fault of Senator Chase is an inordinute love of his party as a party, and nof on account of {ts principles. That he is a gentleman of courtesy and no inconsid. erable ability, it will be freely admitted.— But (and we speak it with a friendly feeling) Senator Chase is too kindly dispesed tuwards the name of Democracy and too shy of the substance. Thus he would make any sort of a compromise, net altegether wanton, to unite and harmonize the discordant elements of the party he worships. His willingness to make concessions, even great concessions, has been frequently commented on by his friends. A tractable spirit is to be commended when great interests are at stake. Never, however, should it degenerate into subserviency. Nothing is permanantly gained by a surrender of standard principles. Moderation is an excellent quality, but it should be guarded by judgment. We think we see in thecourse marked out by Senator Chase for himself, onthe Senatorial question, one of those short-sighted coups-d’ etat for which he is famous. His first object is to reunite the belligerent elements of the Democratic party. That object rises superior to all others with him. A more far reaching genius in for some commanding intellect te place in ; the United States Senate, who by ferce of his high qnalities would concentrate the scattered Democracy around him, and become the leader of all. Chase would choose . ® go-between, a man who has the principles of ene faction and the policy of the . other. We hope we do not misrep?esent the con;Stituency of Senator Chase when we say Gen. Denver is not the United States Senator they want. Weare impressed that Gen. Denver could not get three hundred votes jin this county for that position from the jparty he acted with in the last canvass. — . Indeed, so far as our observation extends, Chase seems to be the lone man on his track. The general opinion appears to be that if the union of the Democratic party were desired, Gen. Denver placed in any . position could do nothing to produce the. result. His implication with the administration in the dirty Kansas business does not commend him to the old Anti-Lecomptonites who bolted the policy of the Administration on principle. It was only al little more than a year ago that Gen. Denver was around attempting to defend the course of Buchanan and to put down the followers of Douglas. And it does not appear that he has changed his sentiments in the least. The most that can be said of his position, is that he recognized the regularity of the nomination of Douglas, and perhaps, thought the action of the Administhe right of revolution cannot be disputed by any power within the purview of the national compact. It seems to us the President has gone to hair-splitting. All that South Carolina has to maintain her present attitude, ; alter not ber intentions or plans a whit, but simply enter a plea of guilty of revolution instead of not guilty, and she can come out free and unharmed. In other words, she can be punished for not understanding a trifling technicality—a warning to all to study nice distinctions. The President, malignant to the . in which he was born, reiterates the old slander that the animosity existing between the different portions of the confederacy is . caused by the persistent interference of the tration towards the Illinois Senator too . proscriptive—nothing more. Fromall that is known he stands in direct antagonism to the popular sovereignty Democrats on the great principles for which they have fought the head of the party. So the staunch fo!lowers of Couglas thiuk, and sc they say. But there are still greater objections to Denver urged by the Democracy, and indeed every body without distinction. To put him forward for the highest position in the gift of the State when such men as Edmund Randolph, John R. McConnell, Jos. Hoge, and a dozen others are standing out in bold relief, is the height of folly. Ve grant to Gen. Denver a large share of good sense and judgment in a limited the dying year. The year commonly known as eighteen hundred and sixty is about to . pass away like its prede¢essors into forgetfulness. breathe. “ Hark to the howse-clocks measured chime, As it strikes on the startled ear, A dirge for the soul ef departed time, A requiem for the year. Thou art passing away to the mighty past, Where thy countless brethren sleep, Till the great Archangel’s trumpet blast, Shall waken land and deep. Oh the lovely and beautiful things that lie On thy cold.and motionless breast, Oh the teats, the rejoicings, the smiles, the sighs, Departing with thee to their rest. Farewell! for thy truth written record is fall, And the page weeps, for sorrow and ermme; Farewell! ! forthe leaf hath shut down on the past, And concealed the dark annals of time.” But if there are regrets for the past, there are hopes for the future. Happily does the same poetess express the bright anticipations ahead : Ah! leave me to fancy, to hope, For grie’ will too quickly come here} Ah! leave me to shadow forth figures of Hight, In the mystical robe of the yeas. ’Tis true, they may never assume The substance of pleasure—the real,— But beleive me, our purest of joy Consists in the vague—the ideal. Tue South Carolina fuss-makers already begin to talk about not being coerced to stay in the Union. The “ fear” probably grows out of desire, Thisanxicty to be coerced is of the same kind as the strict propriety of the single Keutucky female who had a single beau. After sitting up a tong time, at a respectful distance, she endagnly squeaked out, ‘Quit squeezin me!

These are the main reasons for setting the cotton States adrift from the Union. Before a people proceeds to the grave work of changing their government, it is usually considered wise to look ahead and . count the benefits to accrue from the} ehange. Perhaps the secession States may have done so, but the appearances are to the contrary. It does net appear clear to an impartial observer how the belligerent States are to better their condition by de. priving themselves of the Fugitive Slave law entirely, as they would do by dissolution. The complaint on the score of the Fugitive Slave law is known to be trifling. The secession States have scarcely lost a} runaway in the North. But great as the grievance might be, the remedy proposed is only an aggravation. It does not better the . condition of the complainant, but makes him worse. It would relieve the world outside of the Secession States of a great deal of perplexity to be informed hew those States pro. pose to obtain the rights they claim in the Territories by a separation from the Union. .

Seabase a ge FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 28, 1860. . Caxistwas.—The annual Christmas mers . ty-making is just passed. Old and young, high and low, grave and gay, sil partake of . the festivities of the time, as their progenitors have done befere them in the unnumbezed cycles of ages that are gone. The. taemory of man runneth not back to the origin of the custom. It is a good and pleasaut observance of a day consecrated to joy and gladness by immemorial usage, . and let the custom remain to give delight to generations yet unborn, even te the end . of time. Nevertheless it may not be improper to examine the pepular belief rela. tive to the origin of Christmas as a chris. Sian heliday. We have been taught to regard it as the avspicious morn on which . Christ first opened his eyes on this sincursed earth. Happy as may be all the associations connected with such teachings, it is probably a fiction. The precise day on which the Savior first-saw light, is in obsecurity. The 25th of December was fixed by the Romans whe had no reliable infortration on the question, and certainly are . no better authority on the point than the christian churches ef olden time. Gibbon observes that the churches of Egypt, Asia, and perhaps Gaul, celebrated on the same day (the sixth of Jannary) the nativity and baptism of their Savior. From this it would appear that Christmas and Epiphany by these churches were formerly observed . as one. : It is probable the Romans placed the! struct that identical rope of sand he had /the present crisis of the party might seek event of the bitth of Christ on the 25th of . December to niake it conform to the festival of the birth of the sun observed by the Pagan world at the Winter Solstice, and in . some respects the Saturnalia and Christmas . rites much resemble each other. The Pa-. gan festival was the most noted of any in the Roman calendar, and was at first cele. brated on the 19th of December, but by . order of Caligula and Claudius it was ex. tended to seven days ending on the 25th.— . This was a holy or happy week, preceding and succeeding the winter Solstice, duriag . which presents were exchanged, slaves sat . at the table with, and were even waited upon by, their masters, peace reigned and all was mirth and happiness. Among the Scandinavians the feast of . Thor, corresponding with the feast of the . Romans in honor of Saturn, occurred at the annual cutting of the mistletoe, on the sixth day of the moon nearest the new year.— . The Druids held.an annual festival at about the same time. It seems, therefore, proba. ble that a day of “peace on earth and good . will te men” corresponding in a great de. gtee to our Christmas both in point of time . and nature of its observances, was celebra. ted by the inhabitants of Europe, and perhaps the whole world before the introduc. tion of christianity, and it is not at all un. likely that the primitive christians in celebrating Christmas, or the day of the nativity of Christ, were but continuing a custom received from their pa gan progenitors only . ascribing to it a character in consonance . with the new faith. How it may be matters not. Christmas is a season of happy reunions, of innocent delights, of pleasant memories. May it be so forever. May tables be loaded and more Punches write impromptus after Christmas . dinners—as did Punch the Great, “Tt may not be—go maidens, zo, Nor tempt me to the mistletee ; I once could dance beneath its bough, But must not, will not, can not, now! A weight—a load within 1 bear; It is not madness nor despair ; But I require to be at rest, So that my burden may—digest !” The Complaint and Remody. The Seeession States complain, Ist, that each, hone aincetnsecemeareToron ti “THE NEVADA JOURNAL. gone to press. . take them at their word are bound to be . mode. , bard her cities simply because she under. stands the Constitution differently from us, ; when her attitude is revolutionary, what. ever may be her pretext. . to do, is The President’s Messnge. This important State document arrived in the Sac. Union, just as out last isswe had sage we would, did space permit, give entire. As howetér it hes already reached most of our readers, a republication is scarcely necessary. We shall therefore ¢on= . tent ourselves with a few comments. The President presents a curious argament on the right of secession. It is what the Tawyers term a non seguitur. First, he . affirms there is no constitutional right of a State to withdraw from the Union. He asserts, and truly, we think, that the Constitution is an emanation of the people, and is as much a part of the Constitution of each State as if it had been textually inserted therein. He declares the framers of the Constitution intended to construct a government vhich should not contain within ft the seeds of its own destruction. It was . built for all time, and contains within itself }the power for its own preservation. He stigmatizes the insinuation that the Union was made arope of sand, as a libel upon the wise statesmen who founded it. Buehanan’s assertions and declarations thus . far are of the old sort, and sound well.— . There is nothing Calhounish, but there is ithe ring of the genuine Websterian mettle in them. But, like a cow that gives a good pail of milk and then kicks it over, Mr. Buchanan, haying gone so far, faces about and tells his readers that our patriot fathers did conjust affirmed they did not make. He tells us there is uo constitutional power to step a State from gving out of the Union if it chooses, and is determined so to do. It is true, the President makes 2 distinction between secession and revolution. The d'saffected States assert their right under the Constitution to withdraw from the Union at pleasure. Mr. Buchaman denies this right but points out to them the proper mode— revolution. The distinction difference. For the secession States, if we is Without a separate. It matters not what excuse they give for so doing, or by what right they justify the step. We do not allow an offender ina court uf justice to name the crime for which he is arraigned. Whether South Carolina sets up for herself on the plea that the Constitution gives her the right, or whether she doesso by revolution matters not tous. Her attitude towards us, provided she acts only on the defensive, is exactly the same. There is no use qnibbling about the constitutionality of the In both cases the treatment can be but the same. We are not going to bomThat would be nonsense. Yet, Buchanan leaves the implication that the Constitution has the intrinsic strength to defend itself against the right claimed by South Carolina, but that The prm®eipal part of it is . . devoted to the secession question. The ar. gument on this point, and indeed the mesDenver fét the U. S. Senate. Our text on this occasion is, it is reported Senator Chase 6f this county favors the election of Denver to the U.S. Senate.— That the report has foundation thete is too much proof. It is understood our séhior Senator so expressed himself before leaving . his constituents, and rumor tells some of j our eotemporaries the same tale. The great fault of Senator Chase is an inordinute love of his party as a party, and nof on account of {ts principles. That he is a gentleman of courtesy and no inconsid. erable ability, it will be freely admitted.— But (and we speak it with a friendly feeling) Senator Chase is too kindly dispesed tuwards the name of Democracy and too shy of the substance. Thus he would make any sort of a compromise, net altegether wanton, to unite and harmonize the discordant elements of the party he worships. His willingness to make concessions, even great concessions, has been frequently commented on by his friends. A tractable spirit is to be commended when great interests are at stake. Never, however, should it degenerate into subserviency. Nothing is permanantly gained by a surrender of standard principles. Moderation is an excellent quality, but it should be guarded by judgment. We think we see in thecourse marked out by Senator Chase for himself, onthe Senatorial question, one of those short-sighted coups-d’ etat for which he is famous. His first object is to reunite the belligerent elements of the Democratic party. That object rises superior to all others with him. A more far reaching genius in for some commanding intellect te place in ; the United States Senate, who by ferce of his high qnalities would concentrate the scattered Democracy around him, and become the leader of all. Chase would choose . ® go-between, a man who has the principles of ene faction and the policy of the . other. We hope we do not misrep?esent the con;Stituency of Senator Chase when we say Gen. Denver is not the United States Senator they want. Weare impressed that Gen. Denver could not get three hundred votes jin this county for that position from the jparty he acted with in the last canvass. — . Indeed, so far as our observation extends, Chase seems to be the lone man on his track. The general opinion appears to be that if the union of the Democratic party were desired, Gen. Denver placed in any . position could do nothing to produce the. result. His implication with the administration in the dirty Kansas business does not commend him to the old Anti-Lecomptonites who bolted the policy of the Administration on principle. It was only al little more than a year ago that Gen. Denver was around attempting to defend the course of Buchanan and to put down the followers of Douglas. And it does not appear that he has changed his sentiments in the least. The most that can be said of his position, is that he recognized the regularity of the nomination of Douglas, and perhaps, thought the action of the Administhe right of revolution cannot be disputed by any power within the purview of the national compact. It seems to us the President has gone to hair-splitting. All that South Carolina has to maintain her present attitude, ; alter not ber intentions or plans a whit, but simply enter a plea of guilty of revolution instead of not guilty, and she can come out free and unharmed. In other words, she can be punished for not understanding a trifling technicality—a warning to all to study nice distinctions. The President, malignant to the . in which he was born, reiterates the old slander that the animosity existing between the different portions of the confederacy is . caused by the persistent interference of the tration towards the Illinois Senator too . proscriptive—nothing more. Fromall that is known he stands in direct antagonism to the popular sovereignty Democrats on the great principles for which they have fought the head of the party. So the staunch fo!lowers of Couglas thiuk, and sc they say. But there are still greater objections to Denver urged by the Democracy, and indeed every body without distinction. To put him forward for the highest position in the gift of the State when such men as Edmund Randolph, John R. McConnell, Jos. Hoge, and a dozen others are standing out in bold relief, is the height of folly. Ve grant to Gen. Denver a large share of good sense and judgment in a limited the dying year. The year commonly known as eighteen hundred and sixty is about to . pass away like its prede¢essors into forgetfulness. breathe. “ Hark to the howse-clocks measured chime, As it strikes on the startled ear, A dirge for the soul ef departed time, A requiem for the year. Thou art passing away to the mighty past, Where thy countless brethren sleep, Till the great Archangel’s trumpet blast, Shall waken land and deep. Oh the lovely and beautiful things that lie On thy cold.and motionless breast, Oh the teats, the rejoicings, the smiles, the sighs, Departing with thee to their rest. Farewell! for thy truth written record is fall, And the page weeps, for sorrow and ermme; Farewell! ! forthe leaf hath shut down on the past, And concealed the dark annals of time.” But if there are regrets for the past, there are hopes for the future. Happily does the same poetess express the bright anticipations ahead : Ah! leave me to fancy, to hope, For grie’ will too quickly come here} Ah! leave me to shadow forth figures of Hight, In the mystical robe of the yeas. ’Tis true, they may never assume The substance of pleasure—the real,— But beleive me, our purest of joy Consists in the vague—the ideal. Tue South Carolina fuss-makers already begin to talk about not being coerced to stay in the Union. The “ fear” probably grows out of desire, Thisanxicty to be coerced is of the same kind as the strict propriety of the single Keutucky female who had a single beau. After sitting up a tong time, at a respectful distance, she endagnly squeaked out, ‘Quit squeezin me!

These are the main reasons for setting the cotton States adrift from the Union. Before a people proceeds to the grave work of changing their government, it is usually considered wise to look ahead and . count the benefits to accrue from the} ehange. Perhaps the secession States may have done so, but the appearances are to the contrary. It does net appear clear to an impartial observer how the belligerent States are to better their condition by de. priving themselves of the Fugitive Slave law entirely, as they would do by dissolution. The complaint on the score of the Fugitive Slave law is known to be trifling. The secession States have scarcely lost a} runaway in the North. But great as the grievance might be, the remedy proposed is only an aggravation. It does not better the . condition of the complainant, but makes him worse. It would relieve the world outside of the Secession States of a great deal of perplexity to be informed hew those States pro. pose to obtain the rights they claim in the Territories by a separation from the Union. .
