Anture to ix the basisof the two Houses t by the late enumeration of . ?°*° ee COW vs, SLUICE BOX, Widy/actiill tas been taken by the Legisin. inhabitants, it has eseaped our attention.— ” *Phie important duty should not be lost sight __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, remote from ordinary travel, ‘and difficult to eS Sorted byw iithied Behar taker. “nie 1 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: enced. They may not be “aware of ‘any eforts to affect the mining tegislation of the ute by the agricultural counties, and seeing no. uch efforts made thie year, may not think of necessity to retain all the power for their suece: ape honestly can, and policy dictates to the =o r j Fee y conversations with in ———— fult8 possible; hooking to "they ‘have tofore vainly’ AB s00n a8 the census was comin theirinterest exalted in the of their bere over ours, that the the ‘between using “with ¥§ tre . some things that-are going on in those states. . ve their a, i influence in the vy ome Lt ‘oflect p you of Mr. Fillmore’s otc a te hag sent federal troops into Boston to enforce the execttionof the fugitive slave law in the case. of Anthony Burns? wers of Government for the p ne punal-obuaan the provisio:s of that 3—Are you in favor of the eauatty of the Btates?

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.” FPA man died.in Sacramento eounty of wounds inflicted by another person, and the Coroner’s jury found thet his death resulted from “‘inflamation of the stomach and bowels!" New names for murder in Sacramento would seem to be somewhat like public necessities, So ‘EPA complaint was made last week before-a justice of the peace, in Amador county, agninst a charavari party. The best way to treat a “shiveree” crowd is to “throw physic to the dogs.” ie Why is a nirned watch like an impenitent sinner? Because it does not know that its redeemer liveth ! In Tae “Fust Decree.

Of this rert, the bmn, ore co ent of the incinnat Gazette legraphs the following : ‘* Tt has been ascertained, in a manner that leaves no room whatever for doubt, thut it is the purpose of the South to seize the capital, at some time prior to or on the 4th of March. This, it is true, is a revival of previous reports, but the information is now in such a shape that Northern menibers of Con consider it their duty to look the danger fuirly. in the face, and adopt. such measures as may be within their reach.” Another correspondent telegraphs, under date of the 1ith: “The fact that Southern membefs of Congress have been sending home their wives and daughters until few now remain, is regarded as indicative that a conflict is expected. There are not now over one usudred lady boarders af the three principol hotels. At Williard’s there are not, exclusively of transient visitors, over a dozen ladies, and the number there altogether does not-exceed thirty.
