Nor FOR FRAZER RIvER-During the past
week, Mr. Marlett's claim on the Old Chan
nel," within a quarter of mile of San An
dreas, has been yielding enormous quantities
of gold. On Monday last, the man in the
drift panned out seventeen ounces of course
gold from one pan of dirt, and the same day
they picked up and panned out from three or
four different pans of bedrock scrapings, over
nineteen ounces more. On Wednesday Mr..
Marlett, on raising bucket of dirt, run his
hand carelessly over the top of it, among
some decomposed quartz, and in doing this, he
turned up lump of solid gold, weighing over
seven ounces The wash-earth which is now
being taken from this claim is wonderfully
rich. The next claim below it, we learn is
doing equally well. These claimants are pos
itively not for Frazer RiUer.

sovereignty cannot be delegated The people
cannot give their power to any man or set OF
men to act for them. Tt is done every day
There is not primary election" &c.
The above paragraph assumes that there
is no distinction between sovereign and
delegated powers, whilst in fact, they diff
fer as widely as the powers of Justice of
the Peace from those of Supreme Court
Suppose we admit the assumption that
the people can bind themselves, irrevoca-
bly,, to strict obedience to their delegates,
without the power to review the edicts
manufacture for their government; and
in conformity with this rendition of the
spirit of our institutions, let us suppose
that the people of the United States were
to delegate authority to certain persons to
render us new Federal Constitution -
and when they have finished their labors.
it would be found that what they had
done was anti-Republican and obnoxious
to nine-tenths of the people, Gas was the
Lecompton Constitution to nine-tenths of
the people of Kansas does our neisbor
suppose that the action of the delegate,
would be submitted to as sovereign"
and final? In Europe such might be ac-
cepted " Popular Sovereignty" but we
trust, in these States-never. The peo-
pie would claim a review of the whole
proceeding at the t-box-that being
denied they would resort to revolutions
and explain by force of arms the distinc-
tion between sovereign" and "dclega-
ted" powers. In Austria, Russia, Italy
or France, where the Infamous doctrine of
the "Divine Right of Kings" is backed
by the sublime argument of glittering
bayonets, the many would have to submit
to the few; but in this country, we are
still bold enough to believe in the right and
power of the majority to through
the ballot-box if they can, with the bay
onet if they must.
alt would be productive
of untold evil if every act of these delegates
was to be seriatim acted upon by the people,
to say nothing of the enormous expence."
What a wonderful announcement is
this +! And pray, whence would come
the "untold evil to say nothing of the
enormous expence?' How much more
would it have cost, to Kansas or the
United States, If this Constitution had
been honestly submitted to vote of the
people for ratification, than to submit it
in the form prescribed by the Lecompton
Regency p
"FOR the Constitution wih slavery or
FOR the Constitution acithout slavery !"
but always "FOR the Constitution. >
They were not permitted to vote against
it, as is the privilege of freemen; for had
they been, it would have been rcpudiated,
and never troubled the debates in Con-
gress. Would it have cost more to sub
NIT it in the start to the people, or, after
four-months' Congressional debate, pass
it against the known will of the people,
and send it back to the new State for
abrogation or amendment? How much
more would it cost to vote upon the origi-
nal Constitution than upon the amended
one +? and by virtue of what principle in
political ethics is the expense" to be
counted as proper bar against the right
of the people to Constitution that suits
them especially when it is themselves
that foot the bill
