Editors of The Lcdger !: What Of Kansas
Your editorial of last week exhibits tho
proper spirit, but something more than il
therein written seems to be demanded Civ,
us your views, at length, and ohlige at least
one SUBSCRIBER
j The above note comes too late in the week
to be answered at length in this issue. We
have no inclination or reason to conceal ouI
views upon the present aspect of affairs; but
we have thus far refrained from taking part
in the angry discussion indulged in by mum
Der of the papers of this State, for the very
simple but good reason that no good was
likely to result.
OF one or two things our correspondent
may rest assured We will make no lcar uPtn
the administration. Congress and not the
President, must admit or refuse to admit Kan
sas under the Lecompton Constitution In
fact, the President makes no recommends
ton upon the subject, leaving the settlement
of the matter entirely to the wisdom of the
Senate and House Of Representatives.
Neither will we dcnonnce the Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas for defending with his mastery
cloquence the foundation principle of Democ-
racy-Popular Sovereignty. The question
at issue is achether this doctrine has or has mol
been carried out in Kansas; and Mr. Douglas,
deeming that it has not, does not hesitate to
so declare in his place in the Senate.
The position of hostility to each other as
sumed by some of the Democratic papers of
this State is much to be regretted. Some Of
them indulge in sly aud unjust digs at the
administration; while others-some Of them
conducted by mere pin-feather Democrats
propose to read out Of the party all who be
licve Douglas to be right, and have the te-
merity to so declare. This reading out busi-
ness is most contemptible; and those who nre
engaged in it will read tdcmsclrcs out The
Democracy yield cordial support to the ad-
ministration, and will not fall out with it
because many may not entirely approve Of its
course upon a single question; but the rank
and file will not be brow-beat by few Of the
pampered menials of that administration, who
assume to themselves authority to dictate
Their conduct is only calculated to bring dis
credit upon the power that placed them in
position, and the less they have to say about
this reading out" business the better it will
be for themselves.
Our correspondent is informed that next
week we shall endeavor to make room for n
review of Kansas affairs.

New Ditch Enterprise.

BY reference to the correspondence Of
"Flat Broke ii will be seen that there is
prospect that Mr. Douglass, into whose hands
have fallen the Cedar and Indanvillc aud
Michigan Bar Company's bitches, at Indian
Diggings, may be induced to locate and con
struct an extension to Fort John and Upper
Rancheria. This is matter of much impor-
tance to the section ofcountry named Both
localities are known to be rich, and several
attempts have been made to procure a con
slant supply of water, but so far without sue
cess. Mr.. Douglass has more water at In
dian Dggings than he can sell at that point
and from personal knowledge the result Of a
long personal acquaintance with the man and
his business, we are able to state confidently
that he possesses the means and the enter
prise to push forward the proposed extension
to speedy completion, if the proper en-
couragemelt is only given him. This is a
matter of no small Importance to this coun-
ty. The more water that can be bro't and
made available within our borders the better.
The extension in question would not only de-
velope the vast mineral wealth known to ex-
list in the regions of Fort John and Upper
Rancheria, but it would also furnish much
needed increase of the supply of water in
Dry Greek and Rancheria Creek Among
the camps situated on the latter stream, is
Lower Rancheria, one of the oldest and one
of the richest localities in this part Of the
State, the present supply of water being en-
tirely insufficient, during, in fact almost the
entire year. With plenty of water, Lower
Rancheria must become an important place.

ments | take occasion to dot you down line
inasmuch as it might be pleasing % few o.
our Amador friends to know the position they
stand in this session Of our Legislature. Wei
then, Just step into the Senate Chamber, and
here we always find our friend the Docto'
Il should say the Honorabe), l.. N. Ketch-
am in his place, and if still and quiet at home
he knows when and what to say here, in fact
he is the very personiiication of Senator,
and looks more the Representative of the
San Francisco Admiralty than the little I'm
ador in close proximity is friend Lewis Of
Caayeras aud Amador; and here again, we
have not only gentleman who fully under
stands himself ON all matters of import, but
quo Aattery), the noblest looking man in Cal
averas county, and heart to match. To
confne myself to what interests our county
more intimately, | will next pass into the As
sembly Chamber, and here we behold our
well known friends Briggs and King. OF
the former must here remark that an enlogy
has been pronounced, not only by private in
diyduals but also by the press, that was well
merited, as being not only the most brilliant,
but reasonable and logical speech that has
vet been made in the House this session.
Heretofore he has kept rather quiet, prefer
ring that some of the busy members should
expend some of their small shot and powder
first, in fact it is really amusing to see some
of our assembled wisdom how extremely anx-
ious they are to make noise in the world in
order that the reporter may put their names
in print twenty times a day or more. Our
Representative Homer, is as you well know,
rather a modest man, and will not therefore
shine largely beyond those who really know
him; but he is sound in Committee, and pur-
sues policy that will win him many warm
friends And now for the Third House,
allow me to say that it is strong one, and
Amador county is about the strongest repre-
sonted of any in the State, so much so that
when they turn out in full all else must give
way. Why it is no uncommon thing to see
from six to ten in group and constant ad-
ditions daily, in fact it is now by-word
whenever members see a crowd together with
one Amador man in it, to ask if they are all
from Amador.
Judge Gale has been here for some TIM e
past, aud il he does not soon return / am
fearful that real estate and quartz specula-
tons will advance beyond their actual value
in your county, as the Judge goes in for col
onizing the entire county until there is room
for no more there, althaugh he himself rather
likes the Capital city.
AS yet nothing very stirring has been up
at the Capital, although some rare and rant
ing times are anticipated ere long, on the
Kansas Question. But of this more hereaf-
ter, together with an expression of sentiments
from your correspondent; who, in few
words goes in for supporting the Administra.

From Our Special Correspondent.
LAWRENCE K. T., March ~, 1853.
There has been little of note to chronicle for the
past two weeks. 1t appears that the radicals
have carried the election in the great msjority OF
districts throughout the Territory. From many OF
the cOuI ties the delegates are expressly instructed
against the "Minneola scheme. The Convention
viii assemble there tomorrow afternoon. think
it is likely that it will Immediately adjourn to this
place or Topeka 4 great effort is being made by
the Minneos Town Company to retain them
Shares will be freely offered to tempt weak
members, but think that the delegates will be
likely to resist the seductive influence OF these
temptations.
think il is likely that Gen. Lane will be elected
President of the Convention and that the Topeka
Constitution will be taken a basis, and referred
| to the Committees for such amendments as they
may desire TO make.
Denver still refuses 10 recognize the legality of
| the election law. He keeps very quiet, and very
adroity steers clear of many of the difficulties that
beset his predecessors by keeping his mouth shut.
Lane issued address in reply to Denver's advisa.
| tory proclamation in which lone j. w. Denver
receives rather severe trimming Ii WAS supposed
that this paper Of Gen. Lanes would provoke
duel Gov. Denver. however, affects 10 take no
notice of il, which is the most sensible thing he
could do.
4 learn mat thpt' Lcohhalut was Wouiueu a.
Geary City, Doniphan County, one day last week.
Court is in session at Lecompton this week Judge
Cato is absent, but Lecompte has come over to Le-
compton to attend 70 bis business for him. 1t ia
reported that they design rakiDg up some of the
old political sores. / think it would be rather an
adventurous experiment these times. The Conven-
ton will not be likely to remain together more than
two weeks-perhsps not so long. The State elec
ton will be- in May. Emigration begins to arrive
in the Territory. 4 steamboat is plying on the
Kansas River
