Opposed to a State Government.

The more we converse with persons from
distant parts of the Territory, the more we
are satisfied that the people are opposed to
an early admission of Kansas into the Union
as State. Thinking men all say; "Let us
remain quiet for while, and politicians, in
the mean time, will find their level. We
have no occasion for State government,
and besides this, we are not able to pay the
expense of one. The large number of con
ventiOns and elections forced upon US from
time TO time have wearied US out and we
must have repose." Others say: ave are
not qualified 10 superintSnd State govern
ment. Let our people experiment for time,
and when our Legislatures have shown more
sense than they have exhibited in either Of
the legislatures which have already been
convened in the Territory, then they may
talk about the thing, but not until then.
We are firm in the conviction that if the
question Of calling a new Constitutional
Convention was submitted to a vote of the
people at this time or even during the next
year, il would be voted down two to one.

To the Honorable, the Board Of Supervisors Of
- County:
GENTLEAEs The late Legislature svast;;-
tuted Board of Equalization, composed of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, Comptroller of the
Treasury, and Treasurer of the Territory, whose
duty it shall be to "appOrtiOn the amount OF Ter
rtOrial Taxes required by law to be raised IN the
Territory, among the several counties therein, In
proportion to the valuation of taxable property
therein, for the year as equalized By said Board,
The delay in organizing the counties underline
county and township laws, passed ut late ses-
sion of the Legislative Assembly, and the en-
barrassment caused BY the change made in the
method of assessing taxes, BY the unwillingness
on the part of the officers in many of the coun-
| ties to qualify and proceed with the duties Of
their ofhce, has prevented compliance on the
part of the County Clerks, to furnish the re-
quired abstract of taxable property, as returned
| b. the Assessors Of the several counties of the
| Territory. In view Of these circumstances the
| Board deemi it inexpedient to await the "ab-
stracts," rs it would necessarily protract the
collection Of revenue, but recommended the ac-
ceptance Of the Assessors return, and levy the
tax accordingly.
In some Of the counties. owing to the delay in
organizing, the assessment was not made as early
as the Act required, but this is no reason why
| the assessment should not be made-even now II
would be proper to do so and collect the same
| this year.
In those counties where the assessments have
been made under the former law, and there has
| not yet been time to make it under the present
one, VIC would advise the acceptance OF such
assessment by the County Board, and proceed to
| have the same collected. 1t also requires Of you
to provide for the collection Of the taxes due
| for any previous year. All delinquent lists to be
returned b. late collectors should be placed in
| the hands Of the new In some Of the counties
the delinquent list is yer. large. In such cases
it would be proper to place such istin the hand:
of the Sheriff Of the county, and require q
| speedy collection Of the same. The Territorial
tax for the year 1858, is 30 cents on the hundred
dollars, and one dollar capitation tax, which ta1
you are directed to levy for the Territory on the
assessed value of all the taxable property OF thu
county, returned By the assessor. You are di-
rected TO transmit to the Comptroller Of the Ter
ritory at Lecompton, an abstract of the taxable
property, with aggregate value Of the same, d
the earliest day practicable.
