TOWNSHIP AssEssORs.-Mr Smith
of this county has introduced bill into
the Assembly to abolish the office of
County Assessor and substitute Town
ship Assessors in their stead. We like
the plan. There are many reasons why
it should be adopted. 1t can be made
cheaper. the Assessor will be better ac-
quainted witt the value of property in
the dist'ic' he traverses than a county
offic, can be, and the duties at present
devolving upon the Assessor can be dis
patched more easily and executed more
thoroughly +; besides the plan of Mr.
Smith, comports with the democratic
idea of distribution of offices and giv-
ing them more nearly to the people.

County Debt.

A meeting convened at the Court
House last evening pursuant to call to
propose measures to improve the fnan-
cial affairs of the County. judge Will
liams was called to the chair and ]. G.
Birdseye Esq. made Secretary.
VIM. F. Anderson Esq. moved the
appointment of committee 20 ascertain
the data of revenue and indebtedness
of the County and report at future
meeting. Discussed by the mover, C.
W. Hill, Sigourney, Lambert, and 9TH
ers, and finally withdrawn.
The following Resolution was intro
duced by Henry Meredith Esq amen
ded slightly and passed
Resolved, That the surest and
speediest mode of relieving the CO lnty
of an onerous debt and of paying off the
current expenses is the passage ola law
providing for special property tax not
exceeding 100 cents on the s1OG, and
that the money so collected be voted,
first, to the payment of the incidental
current expenses other than salaries and
fees of officers provided for by law, and
the balance if any, with the ordinary
revenue from the usual sources become
part of the general fund.
Upon the passage of this Resolution,
the meeting resolved itself into a town
meeting and the following Resolution
by G. W. Hill Esq, was passed.
Resolved, That our Senators and Rep
resentatives in the Legislature be re-
quested to urge the immediate passage
of a law repeating the city government
of Nevada.
Judge John Anderson presented the
following Resolution for the considera-
ton of the meeting;
Whereas /; we, citizens of Nevada
county attribute the present financial
condition of this State and especially of
this county to radical defects in our
State system of government correctahle
only by revision of the state constitu-
ton: and further believing that the
vote upon the Constitutional Conven-
ton was in favor of such revision. There
fore be it Resolved, That our Senators
and Representatives in the State Leg
islature be and they are hereby instruc-
ted to use all proper means and excr-
tions within their power to secure the
calling of such Constitutional Conven-
tion at the earliest practicable period
The Resolution passed.

FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 9Th, 1858.

CoNsTITUT,oXALC CONVENTION AGAIN.
We are among those who deem a new
Constitution of the utmost importance to
the welfare of the State, and would
gladly see a convention called to frame
one could it be honestly and honorably
done, and the sooner the better. A
question has arisen, how we cannot tell,
whether the people at the last election
did endorse the call for a Constitutional
Convention. The question has been
passed upon by Legislative Committee
at Sacramento and the fruits of their in
vestigations are before us. The ma jor
ity of the committee deem the call sus-
tanned and introduce bill making pro-
visions for the assembling of conven-
ton. The committee find for precedent
that the State of Michigan under pre-
cisely similar circumstances to those we
are placed in proceeded to elect dele
d
her Constitution. The Constitution of
that State reads exactly like ours in the
section providing for revision of the
organic law, and the board Of canvas
sers of Michigan decided the question
carried before the pc pie when placed,
as we understand it, in the very tracks
of the present Legislature.
Like the argument of Senator Green
of Missouri, however, we conceive the
report of the Committee has a lame
point at least 1t is well known that
the people at the last election acted
with the oft-expressed opinion that un-
der the reading of the Constitution not
voting at all upon the convention ques-
ton was equivalent to voting against.
The people were impressed with the
idea, as were the people of Kansas that
they were to be allowed to vote upon
the entire Lecompton Constitution, and
it seems to us like a snap judgment
upon the people to take advantage Of
an error, if it be an error, once widely
prevailing and of so much Importance
No one doubts that the vote against a
convention would have been by far lar
ger had not the people believed as they
Idid that no vote at all was equivalent tc
ga.negative. Under such circumstances
ittseems but fair that re-submission OF
the question to the people should be had
before a convention is called.
The logic of the majority report is
liable to many objections, we do not
deem it profitable to specify. The con.
clusion to which it arrives we would re-
joice at could we see it securely based.

The SACRAMENTO UNIoN.-This jour
nal is so uniformly correct in its state
ments that an error, especially of any
moment, creates surprise. Latterly we
have noticed misstatements occurring
quite too often for the reputation of that
sheet for reliability. We shall only no.
tice two, because they are of some
consequence to the reading public who
want the exact truth if it can be had.
Some time since, speaking of the
probable action of the Senate upon the
nomination of Brooks as Controller, the
Union thought Senators would ultimate
ly succumb to the will of the Governor,
and stated that great hue and cry was
raised against the nomination of Gen.
Douglas as Secretary of State two years
ago, but that ultimately lis nomination
was confirmed unanimously. Now, it is
well known to all who are posted in the
political history of the State that num-
Der of Senators strenuousl y opposed the
confirmation of Douglas to the last The
error, the Union never corrected, or we
have not seen the correction, But this
is not of much Importance compared
with later statements of that sheet In
the issue of January 2Sth, the Union
goes out of the way to give a back
handed and dishonorable slap at some
of our prominent citizens. Had it look
ed as carefully into the Nevada papers
for truthful information on the point
touched upon, as our citizens peruse its
columns for facts, it might have found
something more reliable than they have
been reading of late in the pages of that
paper. When the Union man would
write let him be first informed about the
matter he proposes to take in hand. If
he wishes to know the facts concerning
our public lecturers and their audiences,
he is not SO dumb bat he can easily col
lect them by just reading the Journal
when it reaches him. We suggest that
he do so for the future, and by so doing
he may learn that Nevada can and does
furnish fine audiences of mental cultiva-
ton as any other town in the State.
The lectures of Messrs. Sargent, Bel
den and Dryden, were a success in this
place, as was announced in this paper.
We have curiosity to see if the Union
will make a correction of its misrepre-
sentations of gentlemen who are too
we'll known in this community to be in
jured by its statements, but who may
care something for their reputation else
where.

LARGE AaUEDUCT IN CALAvERAs.-
A corresT ondent of the San Andreas In
dependent, writing from Campo Seco,
says:
An aqueduct is about being built at
Jenny Lind, which surpasses anything
of the kind ever contemplated. 1t will
be five-eights of mile in length, and
one hundred feet high. 1t is to be sus-
pensioE-the cables resting upon seven
towers, the highest of which will be 14O
feet. The estimated cost is $50 900.
The country through which the water
is to be taken is considered very rich,
and will furnish employment for hund-
reds Of miners for years to come.

"DEMOCRITUs." Some fool with a
pen and da bster at logic, in this week S
Democrat, over the nom de plume of a
heathen philosopher, r,attempts to enlight-
Ell the people concerning new discov-
cry he has made as to the intent and
meaning of squatter sovereignty. This
fellow with heathenish name tells us
gravely that the Nebraska bill not 3nly
means that the people may form and
regulate their own domestic institutions
but they shall do so. This is deduced.
by some process possibly known in the
days of Democritus, but certainly lost
art to moderns, from the language of the
celebrated bill itself, as premise The
bill reads "that the true intent and mean
ing of this act is pot to legislate slavery
into any territory or state, nor to ex-
clude it therefrom, but to leave the peo.
pie thereof perfectly free to form and
regulate their domestic institutions in
their own way" How even the most
ancient old fogy could deduce anything
coercive or obligatory from this we are
at loss to determine. There is moth
ing in the language making it impera-
tive that the people shall act They
are perfectly free to act their own way
in this matter. They may according to
their own option and in their own good
time. form and regulate their domestic
institutions, but the idea of an obligation
cannot be legitimately obtained from
such language.

The friends of the President point to
the speech of Senator Green as a COM
plete refutation of the arguments of the
Little Giant" Senator Green relies
greatly and places much stress upon
precedents. We thought the great
kansas-Nebraska Act preached new
doctrine to any before known, and that
its passage was to act as a statute of
limitations TO which all might go but not
behind. But in any case the precedents
of States being admitted whose Consti-
tutions had not received the popular
endorsement, cited by Green, are not
pertinent to the case of Kansas. In
every instance mentioned the Constitu,
tons of those States were beyond cavil
the Constitutions the people desired.
No one raised a serious objection to
them. They had no opposers among
the people of those States. The case is
different in Kansas, where, according to
Democratic Govern OF, a very large
majority of the people are irrevocably
set against the Lecompton Constitution,
and stirred up to almost the point Of
civil war. Not as in the precedents ci-
ted so osten aiiously by Senator Green
is there no question about the wishes of
the people and their decision being
heard in the Lecompton emanation, but
by every evidence a most serious doubt
Il Sis in the mind Of every man III Con-
gress that the voice Of the people is
| heard in that instrument, and it be-
hooves the National Legislature to allow
the only rational way of solving the
doubt-the submission of the Constitu-
tion to the people of the Territory them
selves. 1t is not for Congress to act for
Kansas, if we understand the doctrine
of popular sovel eighty, bur for the peo-
pie of that distracted Territory to pre-
sent an undoubted organic law under
which they are to live, for the inspec-
ton of Congress. Congress has only to
see that the Constitution is republican
and that it truly came from the people
and reflects the popular voice. If any
doubt exists Congress should allow pop
ular sovel eighty to decide it.
In cases where no doubt exists as to
the organic law of State asking for
admission being the clear and unequivo-
cal will of the people we can see no use
of a submission of it to the people but
in cases of contention common sense and
common justice demands that Congress
should not exercise the power of ty-
rant to force an odious government upon
a people, but on the contrary, should
relieve itself from all responsibility by
leaving the question to be solved BY
those most intimately affected, the peo-
pie themselves. This is rational squat
ter sovereignty if not that of the Democ-
racy.
