__20f,in the work of passing resolutions upon
Hie vtate of the Union, however’ dbsorbing
‘the lhtter subject may be. The constitution
‘provides that the number of senators and
embers of Assembly shall, at the first sessession of the Legislature after the enumera.
‘tion by the national government, be fixed by
‘the Legislature, and~ apportioned among the
“weveral counties and districts to be established by law, according ‘to the number of white
_ Thhiabitadts. The labors upon a bill of this
character, to ‘make it as perfect as possible
ander tho cireumstences, will be onerous,
~ and “should not be delayed to the-heel of the
session. We presume the Governor is in
possession of official information as to the
enumerated number of inhabitants, and if so,
it is his duty clearly to furnish the same to
‘the Legislature,
One misfortune for the mining communities, in connéction with the new basis of.
representation, is that there is a rivalry of
feeling between the agricultural and mining
gounties, and that the census, from lack of
time afforded for the performance of the duty
in thelarger counties, is very imperfectly
taken. , WeJhave no doubt but'that the population of Nevada county, for instance, is
from three to five thousand greater than is
shown by the returns. A considerable portion of our. ‘people reside away from téwns,
‘along the canons; #nd-among the mountains,

is true of all the. ming counties, and . hence.
they have not justice done to them bythe .
‘enumeration. The agricultaral counties
not subject to this difficalty, and hence appear disproportionately well in the returns.
By the next basis the political power of the
mining counties’ in the Legislature will be
less than that of the agrieultwral counties. —
These latter -have been urging bills, for sey. Gral sessions, to tax mining claims, restrict
mining privileges, and interfere with mining
laws. They must have the power now to
legislate for us, willy nilly, and will undoubtedly exercise it. We may therefore
expect the early passage of a law éubjecting
‘tining claims tétaxation, and also one to restrain miners from working on agricultaral
(ands in ‘the possession of pre-emptors. If
the influence of the mining representatives
is sufficient to stop the innovations at this
‘point, it-iv-alt that canbe expected:
"The representatives of mining interests can
do much at this session, or whenever the new
basis is fixed, by seemg that their counties
have all that can be justly claimed under the
tiew apportionment. They should, compare
the details of the bill carefully with the offiel returns, and insist: that no advantages
are thrown away or forfeited. Upon their
faithfulness in this regard depends the influence of one of the most important interests
in the State, and the vital concerns of their
constituents. Nota vote in either branch
should be allowed to be excluded, which can:
justly. be demanded under the returns.
The changing character of the lower House,
especially in the representation of the mining
a a causes men to. be accredited there
little experience in past Jegislation.—
this county we have ‘not aman in the
House who has ever before been in that body,
and One of our Senaturs is equally inexperi:

no. uch efforts made thie year, may not think

Another Virginian, the able A. i. H. Stewart, in a gpeech in the Senate of that State,
repudiated the idea that the employment, by
the President, of force to collect its revenue,
was coercion of a State. He-said he had no
sympathy with a State that abolished the
Fourth of July as a festival. He said the
wishes. and interests of South Carolina and
Virginia are opposite and incompatible. Many
men in the border States are beginning to
appreciate the fact that there is more safety .
for the border States with the North than’
with the Cotton States. The re-opening of
of the slave trade would destroy millions of
property in the border States.
ville Journal says ‘‘the secessionists ‘of South
Carolitia and Mississippi are particularly
anxious to keep the world from knowing
A-gentleman, formerly a member of the Kentucky legislature recently stated that he was
going to Mississippi to endeavor to relieve
his brother in that State. A tax of twelve
dollars had been imposed upon every slave,
and if not paid the property was to be confiscated. In South Carolina, as we all kuow, . '
a tax of sixteen dollars perhead for slaves
was very recently levied on all slave holders,
and there, as in Mississippi, a stampede of
slave owners with their slaves hag been going
on, What Alabama and Florida have done,
or are contemplating in regard to slave taxation, we are not informed, but unquestionably they will find themselves, if they have
not already, foreéd to the odious and deaper.
. ate experiments resorted to. by South Carolina and Mississippi. And now we ask our
Kentucky friends, in view of these things, to
reflect well upon their-own condition, their
prospects, and their duties to themselves
and their fomilies. Wheré is the Kentuckian, not blinded by passion, who will not
carefully ‘appeal to all around him to take
solemn warning from the fantastic tricks
now played before high heaven, in the south.”
