An Act was passed by the Legislature last winter, submitting to the people the propriety of calling a convention to amend . the constitution of the State. The words “For a Convention,” or the words “Against . on the ballots, and if a majority of all the . persons voting ‘at the election ‘should vote . for a convention, then it will become the duty of the Legislature to call one, It is unnecessary for voters to have thé words . “agaiost a convention” on their ballots, as all the votes mot given in favor of the measure will be counted against it, We have heretofore advocated the calling ‘ing of a constitutional convention, and intend to vote for the measare this year. By remodeling the coustitution, the expenses of our State and county governments can bé greatly reduced; and the prospect that our orgabic law would be greatly improved is worth the experiment of calling a convention for that purpose. The constitation will have to be ratified by a vote of the people before it goes into effect, and should the instrument framed by the convention be distasteful to the people they will have an opportunity to reject it at the polls. When this question was submitted to the people at the State elections in 1857 and 4869, all the tickets printed’ at the Democrat office had the words, “For a conven. tion’? printed upon them, They .were so printed because we were in favor of the measure, and neither the county committees, nor‘any of the candidates, took any action in the matter, Believing that the people of this county are generally favorable to the calling of a convention, we three weeks later, the Democrats carried the State for Cass by 16,000 or 17,000 ma-. jority: In 1852, atthe October election, there was but little difference between the Whig and Democratic vote in Peunsylvania, but the State, was‘ carried for Pierce by 20,000 majority. We might point out other ehanges, equally ds great, in these ‘and other States, If the majority in Obio is not over 18,000, as stated in one dispatch, the Lincolnites will find it a hard matter to carry the State against Douglas. Obio has always been a very changeabldé State; aud if Gen, Cass could gain 17,000 votes in 1848, there is good reason to.believe that Douglas will overcome a majority of 18,000. It is possible that Lincoln may be elected by the people, but the chances are against such a result; The loss of thirtytwo votes in the north will defeat him; he hps little chance of carrying either California or Oregon; and Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, the seven States of the north-west, and twelve electoral votes of Pennsylvania, are still doubtfal.as between Ligcola and Douglas, The large majorities reported at the late State elections, we believe, will be considerably reduced by the official returns, Wasmixaron Monxument.—We hope the voters of ‘Nevada county, as they.deposit their ballots on. election day-will not forget.to contribute their mite towards tbe Washington Monument Fund. It,is the ine tention of the Association to have a contribution box placed side by side with the ballot box, at every voting place in the Union, so that all will have an opportunity to drop in their quarters, or whatever sum. they choose, In thie State there is ab additional inducemont for voters te eentribute liberally; as the county giving the largest sum in proportion to its vote, will he presented with an elogant marble statue of Washington, to be placed in the County Court House. Ifevery voter in Nevada county will contribute twenty-five cent, the total sum will amount to near two thousand dollarg, and this, we are satisfied would be sufficient to entitle tis to the statue, . .

He brings with him some specimens from the celebrashall pursue the same course, this year as heretofore, unless we have instractions to the contrary.

The candidates on this ticket stand twelve for Douglas and fifteen for Breckinridge, Forney and his friends,, who are said to namber 20,000 voters refused to support Foster, for . Governor, at the late election, becanse he would not avow himself for Douglas; they will, however. vote for the twelve Douglas Electors on the regular ticket, and notwithstanding the large majority reported for Curtin, it is not improbable that Douglas may receive twelve of the Electoral votes of Penisylvania.Presipentiat Votina mm Wasuox.—Mr. J.

Tus ConsPIRACY TO MURDER THE GOVER. won or Lower CaLtrorNia.—The Los An. geles Star gives some further articulars of the . conspiracy which had been ormed to assassi‘nate Governor Esparza, of Lower California. ‘The band of conspirators ‘had been organized . by Juan Machado, of San Diego, and the object lof the expedition is to place Sainz again in power, and to assassinate Esparza. The invad. equipped; and it is said that when they crossed } the line, they had with them abott as many . Indians on foot, but also armed. This will be . a formidable band, and,once set a-going, there . will, in all probability, be no end to their dep. yedations and. excesses. It is to be regretted: . that measures were not taken to stop these . desperadoes. . ations to Lower California alone; San Diego and Los Angeles, in this State, will be made to feel the effects of their power.

Esparza has made himself: obnoxious to these desperados by the severity which Ts cits . he found it necessary to use towards. such of them as by their misdeeds were placed in his power. Woman’s Inrivence.—The Contra Costa Gazette tells of ‘a tragedy at Lafayette, in that county,: ‘Three men were drinking at a tavern, one of whom was ordered off by the landlady, who went at him with a whip; the man slapped her on the head, andthen the Amazon came at him with a shot gun and ,blazed away. Man dodged; smoke cleared away, likewise the man; woman victorious and in possession of the citadel. Sognuch for “woman’s influence,” especially when in possession of a shot gun.

A difference of 57,000, between their vote for Supreme Judge, is too great to reconcile.
