The State Fair.


The Marysvillians are in terrible stew
about the State Fair Building. The Super
.i.ors of Yuba County, refuse to appropri-
ate any funds toward its erection, the citi-
zens are indisposed to aid in the matter, by
donating their private funds, aud the Direc-
tors fad themselves minus any but their
own means to 90 on with the work. Parties
who profess TO know all about it. tell US that
much dissatisfaction is felt in consequence
Of the illiberalty Of the Supervisors by the
citizens of Marysvile, and it is seriously con-
templa ed to change the place Of holding the
Fair from that city to Oroville Such a move
would be most sensible one. Here We have
beautiful fields, an ample supply of water,
excellent hotels, and q community ready |
aud anxious to invest their means in the
erection of suitable buildings, and the prep
arations of the Fair grounds. Just let that
Committee Of arrangements tell the Msrys-
vile niggards to 60 to grass, and agree upon
Oroville. and their troubles will all be at
an end. There would be no hanging back
here Let it be known that our little city
has been chosen as the Fair ground, and
four or five thousand dollars-in fact oil the
requisite means, could be raised id the twink

say to the Directors of the Agricultural So
ciety, that il they will hold the fair 10 Gro.
vile. they can do so without incurring one
cents expense to themselves or the Society.
Lumber, money, everything, can they obtain
here for asking. This being the case, why

A great outlay Of money can be saved by
coming to Oroviile, and larger attendance
can be secured here than in Yuba County.
The New KANSAS 1t is
averred that the Leavehworth Constitution
was submitted to the votes of negroes as
proof; but that negroes were virtually per.
mitted t vote for it is inferred by some
constructionists of the following section Of
article two of the Constitution:
SECTION |. In all elections not otherwise
provided for by his constitution, every male
years or upward, who shall have resided in
the State six months next preceding such
election, and ten days in the precinct in
which he may fer to vote, and every male
person of foreign birth of the age of 81 years
or upward, and who shall have resided in
the United States one year, in this State six
months, and in the precinct in which he may
offer to vote ten days next preceding such
election, and who shall have declared his in.
, tention to become a citizen of the United
States, conformably to the laws of the Uni
/, ted States. ten days preceding such election
shall be deemed qualified elector.
From report of the proceedings of the
Leavenworth Convention, in the New York
Tribune, we learn that motion TO insert
the word white" was warmly discussed
and finally voted down. 1t ispre. supposed
from this fact that colored men we're allowed
lowed to vote. Under the Dred Scott
decision we incline to the belief that
something more direct than the above pro
vision is required to extend the right Of
suffrage to the negro; and something more
explicit will be required to make Congress
believe that the instrument contemplates
such thing
The Leavenwortb Constitution has gone
sufficiently wild upon popular sovereignty
to require majority of all the legal voter;
Of the Territory to. adopt it. Certainly such
provision is calculated to ascertain the
sentiment of the people. and if it is repub
licsn in form. no legal objection can b'
) urged against It, without violation OF the
spirit aud intent and provisions of the Kan
sas- Nebraska act.
