SCE IO LS NST Tue Moxcment Funp.—The amount contributed en the day of clection throughout the State tu the Washington Monument Fund, is respectable, but by no means as large as we expected it would be. But the factis, there have been countless thousands -of dullars already spent upon this work, donated by the people—yct, how Epent, is a matter of ‘complete mystery, ex* cepting only to those who are entrusced with the immediate disbursement of the fund. ’ The work lingers, and has lingered for years. “Who knows héw much is still required to complete it? The*people, who are so often appealed to ‘ fer contributians to this fund, would like to ‘know something more about it. They are distrustfal. There have been rurhors of ‘wasteful extravagance, of peculation, of + idlers supported from the fund, ete., which . may or may not be true. At least it devolves ‘ wpon those having the responsibility to give some satisfactory explanation. Contribu‘tors would like to see a bill of items, and after this is exhibited, if it shows fairly and squarely, let an estimate be made of the amount demanded for the final completion . men, wherever found, is evidenced from the trea. ,Sonable nature of their design. of the monument, and California will under. take to furnish it. But a swindle !—Californians:don’t-like to be swindled. they are, from whence they sprang, and the . Above. proud destiny which—if they remain united— , all, they are down on hangers-on, favorites, . appointees to sinecure positions, and that. ‘urnameable horde of loafers who usually manage to quarter themselves upon a fund like this, where the responsibility is remote and divided. _ 1. § 2 -ExceLLent Serection.—Mrs. W. S. Long, . f{wife of W. S. Long, Esq., of Sacramento.) . ihasereceived the appointment of Vice Presidefit of the California Society in aid of the Washington Monument Fund. The official notification of that fact did not arrive, however, in time to enable her to enter upon an -active discharge of her duties previous to ‘theteleetion. This is a most excellent choice. ‘Mrs. Longiis:net only a lady of refinement and education, but of charming social man‘ners, who enters -with her whole soul into any enterprise which promies to yield the fruits of benevolence or philanthropy. She has tact, talents and address, and if she will ~only carry the proofs with her that this fund . . thas not been improperly applied, and visits ithe:mountains, she will find that our people ! boast-a generosity but faintly indicated by the returns “made from their contribution . boxes on the 6th of November. ——+@eIx Bap Opor.—The English Opera Troupe . seems to have lost its presiige. ber when the female singers composing it, turned the heads of a great many young . -bucks, and gave rise to the eager formation ‘of numerous “Boquet-Throwing Societies.” Thisvisithe disparaging manner in which the San ‘Francisco Mirror of Tuesday speaks of the troupe: “Traviata wes sung te almost empty benches, by the Lystéroperatic abomination last night. were execrably rendered; and the meacer audience were decimated by a number leaving-in disgust before the conclusion of the performance. as ‘Nancy,’ Lyster as ‘Mickleford,’ ete.—a fine cast—for a lager beer saloon.” 7-e@Prize Figut.—Our Nevada cotemporaries ennounce'that a prize-fight is to come off in this county on the 3d of January, between Mat Tracey and Bil Blackwood, for $1,000 a side. The parties are now in training. This will be rare sport for the boys. Let the gentlemen shoulder-hitters fight, say we. Sayers and Heenan have dignified their proSession, and if they don’t mash any other faces but their own, where's the h’odds! Ses a A Cattrorsia TraGepy.—A tragedy written by Mr. Bien, editor of a Jewish paper at San Francisco, entitled “Samson and Delilah,” founded upon seriptura! passages, was produced with success at the Theater, San Francisco, on. Monday eveniv We remem. With two exceptions, the parts . To-night ‘Martha’ is offered— . Miss Durand as ‘Lady Harriet,’ Miss Hodson . American ! Shall the Union be Preserved? . For a long time we have been content to read, ; Without indulging comment, the various specu. lations of the California and Atlantic press, ‘touching a probable dissolution of the American ‘Union, under certain contingencies duly set ‘forth. We have refrained from noticing threats . on the one hand, because we believed them idle; and the language of defiance on the other, be. cause we thought it unnecessary, or at best, only ' provocative. *-Love for the Union, veneration for its founders, to our mind, have been subjects involving so great a degree of sanctity, that we could not permit ourselves to discuss them as ‘every-day topics. The ground is holy, and he . which tried men’s souls” _ who treads upon it should take the shoes off his fect. pecple—south as well as north of Mason and Dickson’ line, west as well as east of the Mississippi river—entertained the same conservative views. faned not only the garlands which decorated Liberty’s altar, but even sought to demolish . and overthrow the magnificent temple of Liberty #itself. It is time, then, for every one—the hum‘ble equally with the mighty and influential—to . express an epinion, and assist, if possible, in allaying that excitement which, from being sim. ‘ply an animated fraternal contest, may scon become a sanguinary fratricidal war. We shall not stop to inguire who they are that demand a dissolution States, or the benefits which they hope to derive That they are bold, bad of the Union of these . from su@h an event. We have another object in view. Why should there be so much acrimonious . feeling between the great brotherhood of the American family? Have they forgetten who awaits them ? does not revere the memory of Washington, of all the earlier Presidents, of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, of the framers of the Constitution? We think not. And yet, these patriots, every one of them, coolly and dis} passionately discussed, while many of them catitiousty legislated upon the very subject which is mow producing so much rancorous excitement. The North and South were always divided in opinion on the subject of slavery. But that cid not prevent kind and familiar social intercourse to exist between them. It did not sour their feclings towards eaeh othcr. They were none It was no more of a stumbling block in their way than the Tariif, upon which they could never Mr. Jeffersen contended that “error of the less friends and kindred on accent of it. agree. opinion could be tolerated so long as reason was left free to combat it.” . The States were all compelled to relinquish a portion of their sovereignty to the Gencral Government, in order to the adoption of uniform laws, for the common defence and protection, for the negotiation of treatics, the establishment of a national curreney, the formation of a navy, and other indispensable at, tributes of a central, compensating Power. It ! was not to haye been expected, nor did the fram' ers of the Constitution look forward to sucha result as perfect harmony in all the details of the . splendid piece of machinery which they had constructed ; but they did expect that the patrictism, the affection, the intelligence and the mutual forbearance of the people, would serve as a pen. dulum to regulate and keep it in motion. They were not afraid to discuss the question of slavery. . They saw and admitted its evils. They passed . acts, ordinances and resolutions restricting it. The South felt that it was an incumbrance, but the North made no attempt to encroach upon any of its admitted rights or immunities within State Beyond these, the South herself was at Invibounds. a loss to say what should be done with it. olable under organic sanctions, that inviclability was then, and is yet, sacredly respected. Outside of State limits it becomes a subject fer pop. ular action among those who are to be benefitted . or injuriously affected by its operations. The issues are the same to-day that they were when the Union was formed—excepting only thata lafger ‘experience has developed new modes of , submitting it. Congress 4s to-have nothing to do with it; for whether it legislates upon the subject one way or the cther, it inflicts an injury; and the right so to do, is not recognised as one of the legitimate powers of this Government. Our forefathers conceded that majorities ought torule. This is the true American, Democratic, Republican doctrine. When it is denied, the Government fails to meet the expectations of its . founders—it ceasts to be a Republic, and be. ots, and so they acted. i . comes an anarchy. So thought the early patridisunion. They met the slavery question fairly . and squarely. They argued it philosophically . . and logically. . minds always grapple serious subjects witha determination not to be excited, confused or . overcome by the difficulties which they involve. . Logically, because they knew if the people in any & . portion of the free territory desired slavery, they last. Mrs. Jutia Dean Hayne sustained the . would have it; andif they refused it, it would be character of Delilah, and Mr. Perry that of . useless to attempt forcing it upon them. They Samson. o“ .

Tre Convention.—it is thought, from the returns as now in, that the Constitutional Convention is defeated. A majority of all the votes cast at the election was necessary, and they have not been given. ° strong, and in every way better prepared for the contest ? Between the Northern and Southern elements of dissonance, non-intervention is the true policy. In factthe South consented to this doctrine in 1856. Or, more correctly, she presented it, and it was accepted by the North. dential contest of that year was fought upon it. The great mass of the people, by electing Mr. . Buehanan, ratified it.

The fact is, we are all more or less at fault on . . this fruitful subject of slavery. We agitate too much. We indulge more than we ought to in. . the language of crimination and recrimination. . If we were to read the history of those “times . more, and talk less, it . . would do us good. We have permitted ourselves to forget the lessons which have been taught us by our Revolutionary fathers, and have found an . echo in the ‘bosoms of the greatest living and . dead statesmen since their day. We wish to re. vive these memories; and with that vfew, copy . below a couple of extracts from Daniel Webster’s . great speech in reply to'Mr. Hayne, of South Carolina, delivered in the Senate of the United States, January 26th, 1830. “Mr. Webster said: . “T propose, Sir, to say something on these, and ' to consider how far they are just and constitu. itional. Beforé doing that, however, let me ob. . serve that the eulogium pronounced by the hon. orable centieman on the character of the State of South Carolina, for her Revolutionary and other . merits, meets my hearty coneurrenee. I shall not acknowledge that the honorable member goes before me in regard for whatever of distinguished talent, or distinguished character, South Carolina has produced. I claim part of the honor, I ‘partake in the pride, of her great names. I claim them for countrymen, one and all, the Lau. _ renses, the Rutledges, the Pinckneys, the Sump. ters, the Marions, Americans all, whose fame is . ‘no more to be hemmed in by State lines, than their talent and patriotism were capable of being circumscribed within the same narrow limits. In their day and generation, they served and henored the country, andthe whole country; and their renown is of the treasures of the whole country. lim whose honored name the gentlenan himself bears,—does he esteem me less capable of gratitude for his patriotism, or sympathy ' for his suiferings,thandfhis eyes had first opened upon the light of Massachusctts, instead of South Carclina? Sir, does he suppose it in his power to . . exhibit a Carolina name so bright, as to produce . ' envy in my bosom? No, Sir, increased gratiiica. tion and delight, rather. I thank God that, if I am gifted with little of the spirit which is able to raise mortals to the skies, I have yet none, as I , trust, of that other spirit, which would drag an. cels down. When I shall be found, Sir, in my . . place here in the Senate, or elsewhere, to sneer at public merit, because it happens to spring up . beyond the little limits of my own State or . neighborhood; when I refuse, for any such cause, or for any cause, the homage due to American . talent, to elevated patriotism, to sincere devotion . to liberty andthe country; or, if I.see an un. common endowment of Heaven, if I see extraordinary capacity.and virtue, in any son of the ; South, and if, moved by local prejudice or gan. grened by State jealousy, I get up here to abate . thetithe of a hair from his just character and . just fame, may my tongue cleave to the roof of . my mouth! Sir, let me recur to pleasing recollections; let ne indulge in refreshing remembrance of the past; let me remind you that, in early times, no States cherished greater harmony, both of principle and fecling, than Massachusetts and South Carclina. Weuid to God that harmony might again return! Shoulder to shoulder they went through the Revelution, hand in hand they stoad round the administration of Washington, and felt his own great arm lean on them for support. Unkind feeling, if it exist, alienation, and distrust are the growth, unnatural to such soils, of false principles since sown. Theyare wéeds,the seeds of which that same great arm never scat. tered. Mr. President, I shail enter cn no encomium upon Massachusetts; she needs none. ‘There she . is. Behold her, and judge for yourselves. There is her history; the world knows it by heart. The past, Mi least, is secure. There is Bosten, and Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker Hill; and . there they will remain forever. The bones of her sons, falilng in the ercat struggle for Independence, now lie mingled with the soil of every State from New England to Georgia; and there they will He forever. And, Sir, where American Liberty raised its first voice, and where its youth was nurtured and sustained, there it still lives,in the strength of its manhoed and full of its eriginal spirit. If discord and disunion shall wound . it, if party strife and blind ambition shall hawk . at and tear it, if folly and madness, if uneasiness under salutary and necessary restraint, shall . suecced in separating it from that Union, by . which alone its existence is made sure, it will stand, in the end, by the side of that cradle in which its infancy wes recked; it will stretch forth its arm with whatever of vigor it may still retain . ver the friends who gather reund it; and it will fall at last, if fall it must, amidst the proudest . monuments of its own glory, and on the very . spot of its origin.” * * # * * # % * “T profess, Sir, in my career hitherto, to have kept steadily in view the prosperity and henor of ; ‘the whole country, and the preservation of our . Federal Union. It isto that Union we owe our safety at home, and our consideration and dignity abroad. It is to that Union that we are chiefly indebted for whatever makes us most proud of our country. That Union we reached . . only by the discipline of our virtues in the severe . school of adversity. It had its origin in the ne. cessities of disordered finance, prostrate commerce, andruined credit. Under its benign influences,these great interests immediately awoke, . as from the dead, and sprang forth with newness . of life. Every year of its duration has teemed . ‘ with fresh proofs of its utility and its blessings; and although our territory has stretched out wider and wider, and our population spread farther and farther, they have net outrun its protection . . orits benefits. It has been to us all a copious . ' fountain of national, social, and personal happiness. j ; : I have not allowed myself, Sir, to look beyond the Union, to see what might lie hidden in the dark recess behind.

SCE IO LS NST Tue Moxcment Funp.—The amount contributed en the day of clection throughout the State tu the Washington Monument Fund, is respectable, but by no means as large as we expected it would be. But the factis, there have been countless thousands -of dullars already spent upon this work, donated by the people—yct, how Epent, is a matter of ‘complete mystery, ex* cepting only to those who are entrusced with the immediate disbursement of the fund. ’ The work lingers, and has lingered for years. “Who knows héw much is still required to complete it? The*people, who are so often appealed to ‘ fer contributians to this fund, would like to ‘know something more about it. They are distrustfal. There have been rurhors of ‘wasteful extravagance, of peculation, of + idlers supported from the fund, ete., which . may or may not be true. At least it devolves ‘ wpon those having the responsibility to give some satisfactory explanation. Contribu‘tors would like to see a bill of items, and after this is exhibited, if it shows fairly and squarely, let an estimate be made of the amount demanded for the final completion . men, wherever found, is evidenced from the trea. ,Sonable nature of their design. of the monument, and California will under. take to furnish it.

S. Long, . f{wife of W. S. Long, Esq., of Sacramento.) . ihasereceived the appointment of Vice Presidefit of the California Society in aid of the Washington Monument Fund. The official notification of that fact did not arrive, however, in time to enable her to enter upon an -active discharge of her duties previous to ‘theteleetion. This is a most excellent choice. ‘Mrs. Longiis:net only a lady of refinement and education, but of charming social man‘ners, who enters -with her whole soul into any enterprise which promies to yield the fruits of benevolence or philanthropy. She has tact, talents and address, and if she will ~only carry the proofs with her that this fund . . thas not been improperly applied, and visits ithe:mountains, she will find that our people ! boast-a generosity but faintly indicated by the returns “made from their contribution . boxes on the 6th of November. ——+@eIx Bap Opor.—The English Opera Troupe . seems to have lost its presiige. ber when the female singers composing it, turned the heads of a great many young . -bucks, and gave rise to the eager formation ‘of numerous “Boquet-Throwing Societies.” Thisvisithe disparaging manner in which the San ‘Francisco Mirror of Tuesday speaks of the troupe: “Traviata wes sung te almost empty benches, by the Lystéroperatic abomination last night. were execrably rendered; and the meacer audience were decimated by a number leaving-in disgust before the conclusion of the performance. as ‘Nancy,’ Lyster as ‘Mickleford,’ ete.—a fine cast—for a lager beer saloon.” 7-e@Prize Figut.—Our Nevada cotemporaries ennounce'that a prize-fight is to come off in this county on the 3d of January, between Mat Tracey and Bil Blackwood, for $1,000 a side.

For a long time we have been content to read, ; Without indulging comment, the various specu. lations of the California and Atlantic press, ‘touching a probable dissolution of the American ‘Union, under certain contingencies duly set ‘forth. We have refrained from noticing threats . on the one hand, because we believed them idle; and the language of defiance on the other, be. cause we thought it unnecessary, or at best, only ' provocative. *-Love for the Union, veneration for its founders, to our mind, have been subjects involving so great a degree of sanctity, that we could not permit ourselves to discuss them as ‘every-day topics. The ground is holy, and he . which tried men’s souls” _ who treads upon it should take the shoes off his fect. pecple—south as well as north of Mason and Dickson’ line, west as well as east of the Mississippi river—entertained the same conservative views. faned not only the garlands which decorated Liberty’s altar, but even sought to demolish . and overthrow the magnificent temple of Liberty #itself. It is time, then, for every one—the hum‘ble equally with the mighty and influential—to . express an epinion, and assist, if possible, in allaying that excitement which, from being sim. ‘ply an animated fraternal contest, may scon become a sanguinary fratricidal war. We shall not stop to inguire who they are that demand a dissolution States, or the benefits which they hope to derive That they are bold, bad of the Union of these . from su@h an event. We have another object in view. Why should there be so much acrimonious . feeling between the great brotherhood of the American family? Have they forgetten who awaits them ? does not revere the memory of Washington, of all the earlier Presidents, of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, of the framers of the Constitution? We think not. And yet, these patriots, every one of them, coolly and dis} passionately discussed, while many of them catitiousty legislated upon the very subject which is mow producing so much rancorous excitement. The North and South were always divided in opinion on the subject of slavery. But that cid not prevent kind and familiar social intercourse to exist between them. It did not sour their feclings towards eaeh othcr. They were none It was no more of a stumbling block in their way than the Tariif, upon which they could never Mr. Jeffersen contended that “error of the less friends and kindred on accent of it. agree. opinion could be tolerated so long as reason was left free to combat it.” . The States were all compelled to relinquish a portion of their sovereignty to the Gencral Government, in order to the adoption of uniform laws, for the common defence and protection, for the negotiation of treatics, the establishment of a national curreney, the formation of a navy, and other indispensable at, tributes of a central, compensating Power. It ! was not to haye been expected, nor did the fram' ers of the Constitution look forward to sucha result as perfect harmony in all the details of the . splendid piece of machinery which they had constructed ; but they did expect that the patrictism, the affection, the intelligence and the mutual forbearance of the people, would serve as a pen. dulum to regulate and keep it in motion. They were not afraid to discuss the question of slavery. . They saw and admitted its evils. They passed . acts, ordinances and resolutions restricting it. The South felt that it was an incumbrance, but the North made no attempt to encroach upon any of its admitted rights or immunities within State Beyond these, the South herself was at Invibounds. a loss to say what should be done with it. olable under organic sanctions, that inviclability was then, and is yet, sacredly respected. Outside of State limits it becomes a subject fer pop. ular action among those who are to be benefitted . or injuriously affected by its operations. The issues are the same to-day that they were when the Union was formed—excepting only thata lafger ‘experience has developed new modes of , submitting it. Congress 4s to-have nothing to do with it; for whether it legislates upon the subject one way or the cther, it inflicts an injury; and the right so to do, is not recognised as one of the legitimate powers of this Government. Our forefathers conceded that majorities ought torule. This is the true American, Democratic, Republican doctrine. When it is denied, the Government fails to meet the expectations of its . founders—it ceasts to be a Republic, and be. ots, and so they acted. i . comes an anarchy. So thought the early patridisunion. They met the slavery question fairly . and squarely. They argued it philosophically . . and logically. . minds always grapple serious subjects witha determination not to be excited, confused or . overcome by the difficulties which they involve. . Logically, because they knew if the people in any & . portion of the free territory desired slavery, they last.

If we were to read the history of those “times . more, and talk less, it . . would do us good. We have permitted ourselves to forget the lessons which have been taught us by our Revolutionary fathers, and have found an . echo in the ‘bosoms of the greatest living and . dead statesmen since their day. We wish to re. vive these memories; and with that vfew, copy . below a couple of extracts from Daniel Webster’s . great speech in reply to'Mr. Hayne, of South Carolina, delivered in the Senate of the United States, January 26th, 1830. “Mr. Webster said: . “T propose, Sir, to say something on these, and ' to consider how far they are just and constitu. itional. Beforé doing that, however, let me ob. . serve that the eulogium pronounced by the hon. orable centieman on the character of the State of South Carolina, for her Revolutionary and other . merits, meets my hearty coneurrenee. I shall not acknowledge that the honorable member goes before me in regard for whatever of distinguished talent, or distinguished character, South Carolina has produced. I claim part of the honor, I ‘partake in the pride, of her great names. I claim them for countrymen, one and all, the Lau. _ renses, the Rutledges, the Pinckneys, the Sump. ters, the Marions, Americans all, whose fame is . ‘no more to be hemmed in by State lines, than their talent and patriotism were capable of being circumscribed within the same narrow limits. In their day and generation, they served and henored the country, andthe whole country; and their renown is of the treasures of the whole country. lim whose honored name the gentlenan himself bears,—does he esteem me less capable of gratitude for his patriotism, or sympathy ' for his suiferings,thandfhis eyes had first opened upon the light of Massachusctts, instead of South Carclina? Sir, does he suppose it in his power to . . exhibit a Carolina name so bright, as to produce . ' envy in my bosom? No, Sir, increased gratiiica. tion and delight, rather. I thank God that, if I am gifted with little of the spirit which is able to raise mortals to the skies, I have yet none, as I , trust, of that other spirit, which would drag an. cels down. When I shall be found, Sir, in my . . place here in the Senate, or elsewhere, to sneer at public merit, because it happens to spring up . beyond the little limits of my own State or . neighborhood; when I refuse, for any such cause, or for any cause, the homage due to American . talent, to elevated patriotism, to sincere devotion . to liberty andthe country; or, if I.see an un. common endowment of Heaven, if I see extraordinary capacity.and virtue, in any son of the ; South, and if, moved by local prejudice or gan. grened by State jealousy, I get up here to abate . thetithe of a hair from his just character and . just fame, may my tongue cleave to the roof of . my mouth! Sir, let me recur to pleasing recollections; let ne indulge in refreshing remembrance of the past; let me remind you that, in early times, no States cherished greater harmony, both of principle and fecling, than Massachusetts and South Carclina. Weuid to God that harmony might again return! Shoulder to shoulder they went through the Revelution, hand in hand they stoad round the administration of Washington, and felt his own great arm lean on them for support. Unkind feeling, if it exist, alienation, and distrust are the growth, unnatural to such soils, of false principles since sown. Theyare wéeds,the seeds of which that same great arm never scat. tered. Mr. President, I shail enter cn no encomium upon Massachusetts; she needs none. ‘There she . is. Behold her, and judge for yourselves. There is her history; the world knows it by heart. The past, Mi least, is secure. There is Bosten, and Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker Hill; and . there they will remain forever. The bones of her sons, falilng in the ercat struggle for Independence, now lie mingled with the soil of every State from New England to Georgia; and there they will He forever. And, Sir, where American Liberty raised its first voice, and where its youth was nurtured and sustained, there it still lives,in the strength of its manhoed and full of its eriginal spirit. If discord and disunion shall wound . it, if party strife and blind ambition shall hawk . at and tear it, if folly and madness, if uneasiness under salutary and necessary restraint, shall . suecced in separating it from that Union, by . which alone its existence is made sure, it will stand, in the end, by the side of that cradle in which its infancy wes recked; it will stretch forth its arm with whatever of vigor it may still retain . ver the friends who gather reund it; and it will fall at last, if fall it must, amidst the proudest . monuments of its own glory, and on the very . spot of its origin.” * * # * * # % * “T profess, Sir, in my career hitherto, to have kept steadily in view the prosperity and henor of ; ‘the whole country, and the preservation of our . Federal Union. It isto that Union we owe our safety at home, and our consideration and dignity abroad. It is to that Union that we are chiefly indebted for whatever makes us most proud of our country. That Union we reached . . only by the discipline of our virtues in the severe . school of adversity. It had its origin in the ne. cessities of disordered finance, prostrate commerce, andruined credit. Under its benign influences,these great interests immediately awoke, . as from the dead, and sprang forth with newness . of life. Every year of its duration has teemed . ‘ with fresh proofs of its utility and its blessings; and although our territory has stretched out wider and wider, and our population spread farther and farther, they have net outrun its protection . . orits benefits. It has been to us all a copious .
