" Ion : says
aTi,e Democratic newspapers from Northern
States come to us with articles upon the Kansas
Convention from which it would appear that the
opposition to the action of the Convention from
leading Democratic journalists is becoming more
and more decided and intense The journals re-
ceived last night are replete with denuncatons of
the Convention and its acts, as utterly hostile to
the meaning and intent Of the Kansas Nebraska
bill, and violation of the pledges given by the
Administration, by Gov. Walker, and Judge Doug
las to the people Of Kansas, that they should have
an opportunity to vote upon the constitution which
should be framed by the Convention The Phila-
delphia Press and Chicago Times follow up their
views in daily and vigorous articles, which wear an
air of more than usual political authority. Mean
while the Administration have determined TO sus-
tain the Convention, are are in favor of the ac-
ceptance of the constitution by Congress, in what
ever form it may come; and it can only come with
the slavery article"
1t seems, then, that the great, harmonious demo-
cratic party have run upon the rock Of Slavery,
and is in danger Of going to pieces before it can
be got off. We hope they will have good time Of

ANOTHER PORTRAIT OF FOREIGNERS

a CAPITAL REASON.

The Union, which has all along been aaVo-
eating the submission Of the constitution OF
Kansas TO the people for their approved or re-
lection, now justifies the refusal of the Conven-
ton to submit it to the people upon theground
that "those who would vote against the slavery
clause, VI ould also vote against every other
clause in the constitution" Well, suppose
they did? If they have a right to vote at oil,
they have right to vote for or against the
whole or any part have they not2
The Union is entitled, beyond all doubt, to
a leather medal for its wonderful astuteness
and honesty. But what s2rt of a medal shall
be awarded to it for its cofsistencys A short
time ago, when it was Upon the honest tack,
speaking of and urging the referring of the
constitution to the people, it said .
"a constitution not Subject TO that test, no mat

EDGED BY ITS oProfESTs TO BE ANYTHING BUT 4
FRAUD" an 4 f M4 H.5a8
But listen to tAcAonest and consistent Union
further; hearhim.
"a plausifle color might be given to this asser-
ton [namelE that it was fraud by the argument
that the members of the Convention could have
no motive for refusing to submit their work to
their constituents, except consciousness that the
majority scould condemn IA. We confess that IRE
should ,fnd some difficulty in d'sswefing This
What other motive could they haze
And yet, the honest and consistent Union
now admits that the Convention acted on that
motive but finds no difficulty" in justifying
it'll! Take our hat, Mr.. Union, for you beat
Dan Rice all hollow in jumping Jim Crow.
I. e55- The union Of the good men Of all par
ties in the city Of New York, upon Mr.. Tieman,
Democrat, for Mayor, in opposition to that
prince of demagogues, and the leader Of the
sans culottes, Fernando Wood, has called forth
thefollowing appeal to the gutter Democracy"
Of that city:
"Come forth tonight, assemble in and about
Tammany Hall, in such numbers and force,
and to give such warm and generous approval
Of the nomination Of Mayor Wood and the
others on the ticket, as will carry dismay to the
hearts of demagogues and traitors alike. Come
one-Come all. Come and show your zeal
and love for the good old Democratic party,
and for regular nominations. Come, and place
the seal Of your condemnation upon towards
and traitors Come, and raise your united voices
for Fernando Wood, the efficient Mayor, thetrue
friend Of reform, and the peoples choice"
Love for the good old Democratic PARTY,
and forregular nominations" Yes, the Dem
ocratic party is everything; the country, or the
peace and order Of the city, nothing. That is
the very quintessencc Of Democracy.

To discuss which would be labor thrown away
at the present time; but, as the Judiciary are
elected by the suffrages of the people, and it is
a privilege which they would be unwilling to
yield, something should be done to separate it
from the corruption which influences political
parties of the present day. And as Constitu-
tiona Convention is the only means by which
the evil will ever be remeded-as the Union
says-"thi object alone is of sufficient impor-

of them families-passed through this place.
vending their way to Carson Valley. Among
them were Messrs. c. Markley, Hiram Kempton.
Nathan kempton, G. Wilson; Mr. Ball, mother
sisters and brother and Samuel Smith. A nor
ton OF them were residents of the Valley; the
others have been residing in the northern part
of this State, and came by Sacramento CITY. on
south, in order to cross the mountains by way
of the Big Tree route
Notwithstanding all the putting that has and
may be done by interested persons in favor of
the more northern routes across the mountains
the one by way of the Big Trees is bound to be
the route which the travelling public will select
in passing to and from Carson Valley Its SUI
perior advantages are only necessary to be
known to insure this The work is still pro-
crossing upon this road and will shortly be
completed when it will recommend itself in
still stronger terms to those wishing to cross
the mountains We predict that in a very few
years, public houses will be established all
along this route at convenient distances, for
the accommodation of travellers, and when per-
sons leave the dust and heat of the cities and
plains in the summer months to pay visit to
the Big Trees, they will not make final halt,
but will pass on to the summit, where they can
invigorato and expand the lungs 10y breathing
the pure mountain air, and drink water gush
ing from mountain rocks clear, sweet and re-
freshing, then continue TO the other side, bathe
in the hot springs of Carson Valley, and return,
the senses gratifed with having seen some of
the grandest natural scenery to be found in any
country. With the whole system refreshed,
and as it were, rejuvenated, they will return to
the active cares of business life with renewed
energy, well satisfied with trip which served
to brace the constitution, add vigor to the mind,
and gratifying to every sense.

An ELECTIVE JUDIcIARY.-As our Judges are
elected by the popular vote, it is absolutely es-
Sentla that all elections cf that character should
be kept as far from the corrupting and contain
mating influences of party politics as possible
But so long as political and judicial officers are
elected on the same day, it is beyond the power
of man to keep up a distinction between them
Candidates for Judges will be-must be nomi-
mated by political party Conventions.
The only plan by which the evil can be obvi-
ated is to revise the Constitution by means of
State Convention, and insert an article requi-
ring Judges and other officers of Court to be
elected at time when no other elections are
to be held If section is incorporated in
new Constitution requiring the Legislature to
meet only once in two years, the appropriate
time for electing Judges would be the year
within which no political elections were held.
In this way the people would be pretty sure to
elect good lawyers for Judges, instead of willy,
wire working politicians Men would then be
presented for judicial positions because of their
fitness, and upon their established character
for ability, integrity, and high moral principle
This object alone is of sufficient Importance
to induce us to favor the call for Convention,
if no other reason presented itself-S. Union
Which would be the better policy, to have
Judges appointed by the Executive power, sane
toned by the Senate, or elected by the people?
