STATE DEBT A correspondent Of the
s. +, Herald, writing from Sacramento,
under date of Feb, lG has the following
in relation to the State debt.
"A rather amusing war has been 60
ing on in the Senate for the last few
days, against the report of the State
Comptroller, upon which was based the
special message of Governor Bigler. The
investigating committee, General Estell
chairman, represented that the real debt
of the State was about $3.50, 900 less than
the ComptEollcr made it out; but it now
appears. as near rs can learn from the
leakings out at the State Department,
that the special message estimates are
fully corroberated by facts and figures.
Some developments will be made to-day
in support of this suppositlon. under.
stand that the committee did not in
cIude in their statements Sl25, 900 OF
war loan warrants issued to Paymaster
Rogers in FL Dorado county, and $4,000
in favor of Paymaster Foster, in Los An
golcs; and it is said that they also have
forgotten to include $4,000 of Maripo.
50 claims, and the interest Of which will
swell the amount to $4,000. These
facts will not be eliminated before this
afternoon, and possibly may Star:le seme

Constitutional Convention

We publish the following ffom the

per takes of the al. cmpt at summary
change or re-mod ling OF the Consti-
tuition:
In vain have we sought to obtain an
outline of the amendments and anne
liorations they seek to introduce The
only reply We can obtain is. Change
change change " No one ventures
to declaim against an error--no one
darcs propose specific change, What
are we 10 think OF this and what VIII
the intelligent people Of this State
think ? To us il looks amazingly like
an effort TO impose upon the public
by rocilerouS railing against nm estab
lished order Of things, without the
slightest attempt to suggest remedy
Tor even the vague generall;ies in
which they complain.
1t is time this bush fighting on the
part of the advocates of constitution
al convention were ended. They must
show their hands if they wish for sue
cess. They are but silly dabateis in
politics if they presume they can carry
through SO novel a revolution without
addressing single argument 10 the
reason of the people If they had
few thousand Of Louis Napolcons
bayonets at their beck, they might
possibly intimidate the masses and eff
feet their objects by violence. But
they cannot hope to accomplish any
result b. their present silence. II
they wish to divide the State, they
should say so, If they seek TO make
two States, and turn one over to slave
ry, they must tell us so. Or if they
have other less extraordinary propo-
sitions to advance, they must out with
them. They may rest assured they
cannot carry the constitutional con
vention by default. The people may
sleep now, but it will be found that
they can easily be awakened. SO,
gentlemen, OH had better make vir-
tue of necessity, and come out at once.
Show us this gorgon that must be era
dicated from the Constitution, and let
all patriots come to your assistance.
Act openly, plainly and truly, like
men, and not like hens who conceal
their heads and think their bodies in
visible. You cannot make any thing
in this community by dumb show of
patrlotism--you cannot gull any one
by insensible jargon about constitution
al infrmities. Every citizen is as full
ly competent to Judge in those matters
as are the best of ye; and your con-
tinued silence upon the nature of the
important changes which you think
necessary to render our constitutional
law perfect, will only gain you a rep
utation as Intermediates in politics

We were shown yesterday quantity
of gold which was brought from Queen
Charlotte's Island, by one of the crew
of the Uua, which was recently wrecked
near Cape Flattery and burnt by In

quartz, of the richest quality we have
ever seen. This person says he obtained
an ounce in half an hour by the use of
the cold chlsel only. He represents the
Indians as very hostile towards the

G,usS Iioliey, Feb. 1G, 1852.
Eiitors Aeroda Jo,unai "A little
more thnn 10 days ago, sent you
few lines for publication (over my
own initials, now pretty well known)
concerning the character, &c. Of Hon.
j {. Fremont as contrasted with Col.
Weller.
Now | an too we'll acquainted with
the courtesies OF the press, to be fool
ish enough to suppose that You were
otiiged to publish aHy thing, coming
from what source it may But | had
right 10 expect 10 hear from You in
some way or other, or should not
have forwarded the communication to
YOU
The truth riU Hrc. and in conse
quence of the silence YOU observe re-
specting what | sent you, ! am sorry
to say, you leave me to make such in
terences as please, / hope | am
mistaken, and ] earnestly wish that
the past as to Weller were not such
us they are. Hoping to hear from
YOU in the utmost friendlinesS,
Yours very truly c NJ B.
We received the communication re-
ferred 10, taking us 10 task pretty
harshly for what we have said Of Col.
Weller and Mr.. Fremont; but by the
exercise of that judgment we, as pub
lie journalists, had n right to use, we
thought its publication would be inn
proper. And for its suppression we
verify believe the author should be
thankful, instead of casting censure
upon us lit revivcs the old, stale, and
slanderous charges agaist Col. Weller,
the truth or falsehood Of which would
not be in the least affected by their
publication or contradiction and as
such charges and their refutation be-
long TO partizan journals, it is not our
place to take cognlzance of them -
Moreover, il is we'll known to those
who read the Journal, that we never
advocated the election of Col. Wc!ler /;
but after his election, when no CEN
sure, however seyere-no chrrges,
however true, could operate 10 the
public good-wc spoke of Col. Weller
as u man OF talent; as 4 man capable
of commanding respect TO the wants o.
the people he represents, and conclu-
dcd by saying, 81 he will not be held
eulltless if he makes not the effort"
We instituted no comparison be
tween him and Col. Fremont, and con
cerning the latter we have said bt
little. We, like many others, feel ;
contempt for the little selfshness 0
the man, as indicated by the vindic
live course pursued towards the Stock
ton Journal, and the connection i
gives us liberlyto suppose he has will
the frauds being committed in Europe
by the use Of his name. This bein.
the case, we cannot think it strange
that we copied an article from the Sar

some of the contempt he so richly de
serves.

LATER From TnE SASDwICA ISLANDS,
The schooner Gazele arrived at the

later intelligence from Honolulu. We
take the following condensation from
the Alta
Gloomy accounts OF the condition Of
business continue to reach us from the
Islands. The PolyEesian complains that
no prospects OF an export demand for
their product ctions yet cheer the planters
or solacc the merchants. The market
is largely overstocked, and arrivals Of
foreign goods are still looked for. Prices
rule low in every thing.
Considerable interest is manifested
among tho planters of the island III the
project Of cheap labor, by the introduc
tion of coolies from China This sub
ject has engaged their atten tion for
several years, and the experiment seems
never to have been satisfactorily tried
/ The British bark Thetis, Captain Cass
arrived from Annoy, China, with cargo
Of coolies, most of whom were contracted
for by planters and others at the Islands.
The Polynesian chronicles the arrival
OF the fine clipper ship Il. B. Forbes
ninety days from Boston. She arrived
at Honolulu on the morning of the 5th
OF January, in command of Capt. Doane.
This was q fine passage.
The attempt to bring a swarm OF bees
from Boston around the Cape, in the
ship r b Forbes, has failed,
The elections had taken place Mt the

represented by two naturalized foreign
ers, has this year two native represea
