Condition of the County Seat Bill.

Condition of the County Seat Bill.
We are informed that the bill relating to
the county seat of Amador, as enacted in the
Assembly, passed its second reading in the
Senate On Wednesday last it was referred
to special committee Of one, the Hon.
d. CRANpAII Senator from this district
Tnat the bill VIII become a law, there is no
longer reasonable doubt AS to the views
that may be entertained, personally, by Mr..
Crandall, on the subject of removal, we are
not advised; but from our knowledge Of his
integrity aud sagacity, and his earnest desire
TO maintain the rights and promote the wei
fare of his constituents. we are fully satisfied
that he will favor the submission Of the ques-
ton to the people. Mr. Crandall is not the
representative Of faction, or clique; and it
would be doing very great injustice to the
high position he occupies as citizen and
Senator TO class him in any such conexion.-
Convinced l'y the Jena fde signatures of al
most three thousand voters that great dis
satisfaction exists with reference to the pres
ent cit.on Of the county seat, he will GER
tanly report in favor of the passage of the
ill, thus leaving 10 tie soyeIe en- people of
Amador the settlement of question purely
local in its character, and in which the people
of no other county have the shadow of an
interest
AS TO the action of Mr. Crandall, we re-
peat that we have not a doubt Politicians
of every class, if they profess republicanism,
agree that all questions that c7n te submitted
10 the people, with convenience, ,shonldte so sui
mtted Tnis is universal demo, racy--not par-
tizanshp; and we are assured that Mr.. Gran
dSl is not man who arrogates to himself
tie least degree of self-mportance, because
Of his osition as q Senator. He would
much rather have the people Of Amador set
tie the removal question, than to take that
responsibility upon himself. Those WHO OF
pose removal, if they will take a secold
thought, must admit that the plain duty OF
Mr.. Crandall, acting without prejudice for or
tllutI hSVu Vi 'OISohOb - ~ i"'O'
the submission of the question to vote Of
Sovoreigns
We ask Senators from other districts, as
matter of right, that they vote for the bill.
The people of Amador, and of Amador only,
are Interested; and they ask to be allowed
the ,igM 10 attend to and control their own
local affairs. Wculd Senators from San
Diego, San Fra cisco, or Shasta ad MT e'r
right to interfere IN Hetr local atfaIrsy Ger
ta,nly not--most certainly not; and we Only
ask them to DO unto rs as they would have
us DO unto them The cry of economy"
debt" expense" &c. &C., has been hushed
ly wise provision in the bill-to wit, that
in tie event of removal, the town obtaining
the county seat shall dofray the attending ex-
pcnse. We await the result with confidence.
