District Agricultural Fair.

There is nothing in the world that so builds
up the prosperity of a country as the holding
of annual agricultural fairs. A State Agri-
cultural Fair, annually held, is useful so far
as it goes, and it goes far. But, it does not
thoroughly bring forth the agricultural mer-
its of the different sections, because one sec
tion produces one thing at one season, while
another section produces another at the same
period. Thus, various sections may be taken
at a disadvantage, and the time of holding
the State Fair shut off great many local..
ties from exhibiting the fruits or products for
which they are best adapted. In some coun-
tries this would not make so much difference,
but in California the climate and soil are so
various that it seems to embrace within
itself the climates and soils Of all countries
upon the face of the earth. A State Agri-
cultural Fair can never do justice to all por-
tions of the State. Now, this Northern Sec
ton of Ca lifornia is not only excluded from
the full benefits of State Fair, held, as it
generally is, with reference to the time Of
maturing the products of southern counties
but the facilities for reaching the central
points of the State with loads of fruits and
vegetables are decidedly unfavorable. With
Yuba county, it does not make so much diff.
ference, but with the counties farther north
it must make very material difference, for
they have to transport their products over
difficult mountains and gulches. and put them
selves to great expense in doing so, whereas
the more central counties have the benefit of
free transportation on the steamers.
1t is manifestly to the interest of the north
ern sections of the State that they should
have an annual District Agricultural Fair,
adapted to the exhibition of the peculiar pro
duets of the northern region 1t is true we
have had one State Fair held at Marysvile
but it will be located hereafter at Sacramento
or some other southern point, and even when
it was located here, the time was not in every
respect, as it should have been, suited to the
peculiar pomological and other development
of this section.
IL Is proposed Oy the aSHcuIVurlsIs, nor
ticulturists and pomologists of this region
that a District Agricultural Fair be held here
after at the Pavilion built for the purpose, at
very considerable expense, in this city, and
that a meeting be called shortly in which the
counties of Yuba, Colusa, Tehama, Butte,
Plumas, Sierra Shasta, Siskiyou, Trinity and
such other counties as may feel interested,
shall be represented. The time for holding
this meeting has been suggested for Saturday
evening next, but what will ultimately be
determined on we cannot say. If the meeting
is to be held at that time, due notice ought to
be given Immediately.

Summarily Disposed OF.

Senator Ballou in accordance with previous no
tice, yesterday introduced his preamble and reso
| lutioDs, asserting the popular sovereignty doc
| trine, 'that the people of Territory like those
of State, shall decide for themselves whether
| slavery shall or shall not exist within their lin.
its, and instructing our Senators and requesting
our Representatives to ''usc their influence and
vote against any interference by Congress with
the legislation of the Territories respecting their
own local and domestic affairs, whether such leg
islation discriminate in favor of or against slave
:" and also ceusuring Senator Gwin for oppos-
ing in the great debate of February 23d, and re-
pudiating this doctrine in the name of his State,
and declaring that if his people had understood
the Douglas Interpretation of the Kansas-Nebras-
ka Act they never would have approved it.
He said, in submitting this, that he cared not
what act on the Senate might see fit to take in the
premises, but whatever disposal might be made
of the resolutions he would look upon the vote
thereon as a test vote. The Senate apparently
accepted his suggestion-for it does not appear
that any member Of it objected to the vote being
considered test-and test it Is, by tacit and
common consent of all parties.
Before the document was read through, Mr..
Burch moved to lay the resolutions upon the table;
and upon this the vote stood, ayes q, noes 9, as
follows:

The Anti.Lecompton and Republican Senators
all voted no, while the Lecompton Senators all
voted aye, and thus the people know where they
stand.-Sac. Bee, Saturday.
Just as we expected. A Lecompton Legis
lature has been afraid to meet the issue which
the times have presented. By their silence
on the subject, they have saddled upon them
selves all the odium of the Davis and Brown
Lecompton, doctrine of Congressional inter
ference with the subject of slavery in tn,
Territories. They cannot say that it was
political matter and they had nothing to d
with it for they passed the resolutions of cen
sure against David c. Broderick which wer
purely of political nature. This action c
the California Lecompton Legislature is moth
ing more than a tacit Acknowledgement tha
a slave code ought to be passed by Congres
: for the protection of slavery in the Terrific
ries. Intelligent men universally regard
in that light. The Legislature might as we
have passed resolution favoring a slave cod
and have been done with it.

LEcoMrToS CAUous-The Union gives an
account of a caucus held by twenty five As
semblymen aud eight or nine Senators in the
Senate Chamber, on Saturday, the conclud.
ing proceedings of which were as follows:
A Senator then remarked that it was in
cumbent upon the members of the Demo
cratic party to support the Daily Standard,
the conduct of which was most satisfactory
to the Lecompton Legislators. lie thought
that each member should take one or more
copies of the same.
An Assembyman suggested that it would
be well to appoint committee, who should
frame and issue an address in favor of the
paper.
Presently it was mentioned that the sub
scription price of the Daily Standard was
Sl6 year. and that members present who
actually intended to come up to the help
substantial help, of the party should forth
with produce the amount desired.
The result of this suggestion was n pre-

case were not presented on the first trial and
now a second suit is pending involving the
question of the right of counties to subscribe

opinions of the best lawyers in the State are

Indeed, so well satisfied are lawyers on this
point that the recent legislature had no hest
fancy in passing acts expressly based upor
