Convention VS.. the Legislature.

The Sacramento Bee picks up our remark
that Sacramento threw her vote against
Convention on the ground of self interest,
and animadverts upon it. The Bee says,
the people of Sacramento have sufficient
intelligence to know the Legislature can
better make the needed reform in the state
Constitution than a Convention.
Indeed? The people of Sacramento have
arrived at a wonderful pitch of perfection.
To their clear vision a reform in the gov
ernment may be the easiest and simplest
work imaginable. Any body can hx the
thing up comfortably, in their opinion
But the people of Nevada are far behind
the lighthouse. They have the most har-
RAISING doubts about the capacity OF our
Legislature They entertain the old togy
idea that Constitutions are the work OF
statesmen, that the paramount law OF the
State requires delicate and skillfui hands
to put its machinery in the most perfect
order. They, somehow, are little dubious
as to the safety of allowing a set OF indi-
yiduals who generally owe their positions
to base fealty to party, to tampcr with the
supreme law of the State. Our citizens,
unlike those of Sacramento, say the nest
of legislators that annually assemble at the
capital, and whose comprehension OF a
Constitution they are sworn to support is
so vague that they vote for bills in the teeth
of the higher instrument, are unfit to repair
it. They entertain the singular idea that
men who have not the brain to understand
a Constitution are incapable of making or
even patching one. 1t is whim Of ours,
which we cannot help and we trust onr Sac
ramento cotemporary, living in a hi CHER or
der of society will look upon it compassion-
atey. If we, away back here in the noun
tains, do happen to think that Legislature
which eensured Congress for eiecting its
own presiding officer without consulting the
choice of the lawmakers of California; II
we do chance to fear that a set of men who
vote for souatter bills, in violation of treaty
stipulations and the rights OF property as
acknowledged by the whole civilized world;
if we are so deucedly stupid as to entertain
doubts that the body of oath-bound men
with plain guide before them which
plunged the State four millions in debt in
violation of the Constitution; if we are
such unmitigated fools as to believe Leg
islature which would have the presumption
to disgrace United States Senator for re-
sisting foul wrong, a Legislature that
would attempt to override the people by
an odious Bulkhead measure, and worse
than all, establish Il censorship of the Press
that palladium of liberty; if we do happen
to think that the creatures who cannot un-
derstand Constitution, or are so deficient
in morals as to violate it wilfully, are moi
fit to take the part of statesmen and make
the fundamental law of the land, why, we
do hope our Sacramento cotemporary will
look with charity upon this benighted COM
munity.

AGRIoULrU RAJ LANDS OF CALIF0RSIA.-It is
singuiarity with regard to California and
something entirely new. we believe in the ag-
riculturial experience Of mankind, that the very
spots upon examination of which the former re-
ports of her unfriutfalness were predieated have
turned out to be the most productive. There is
no place in the world where fruit grows in great
er luxuriance than at Martinez, and yet the
bulk of it is grown on adobe soil, without irri-
CATION, on hilisidos exposed to the cold winds
and fogs of the coast. The annual report OF
tie State Surveyor shows that the very locations
which were once thought worthless, are now the
most sought after by the grape grower, the sheep
aiser and the lurnberman.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S DECLARATION OF,
INDEPENDENCE"

The following is the declaration of causes
which justify the secession of South Carolina
from the Federal Union, as reported by the
Committee to prepare an address to the people
of the Southern States:
"Ihe State Of South Carolina having deter
mined to resume a separate and equal rank
among nations, deems it due to herself and the
remaining United States of America and the
nations Of the world that she should declare the
causes which led to the act. In 1865 that por-
ton of the British empire, embracing Great
Britain, undertook to make law for the govern
ment of the American Colonies A struggle
for the right of self-government ensued which
resulted ON the 4th OF July, l776, in declara-
ton by the Colonies, that they are, and of right
ought to be free and independent States, and
that as free and Independent States they have
full power to levy war, conclude peace contract
alliances, establish commerce, and to do such
things as independent States have the right to
do. They further soemnly declared that when
ever any form OF government becomes destruc-
tive of these ends, it is the established right of
the people to alter and abolish it, and institute
a new government. Deeming that the govern
ment OF Great Britain had become destructive
OF these ends, they declared the Colonies free
and absolyed from allegiance to the British
crown, and the political connection between
them and Great Britain was totally dissolved
The Committee say the right of State to
govern itself, and the right of the people to
abolish government when it becomes destruc-

SOUTH CAROLINA Seeded.

The long agony is over. South Carolina is
out of the Union. We do not learn that any
convulson followed the deed. The sun contin-
ues to Iisc and set as usual. The event. which
has been talked about these thirty years, was
accomplished Thursday afternoon of last week,
(about fifteen minutes past ore o'clock to be
precise,) by the unanimous adoption by the
Convention at Charleston, of the following ord
nance, to wit:
IN Onl'RGncc TO DiSsolce tie Union bet,ceen tie

ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained,
that the ordinance adopted by us in Convention,
on the 23d day of May in the year of our Lord
l1SS, whereby the Constitution of the United
States of America was ratified, and also all Acts
and parts of Acts of the General Assembly of
this State ratifying the amendments of the said
Constitution are hereby repealed, and that the
Union now subsisting between South Carolina

Twas the night before Christmas, when, all through

Not creature was stirring, not even mouse;
Inc stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of suGar-pluns danced through their
heads
And mamma in her 'kerchicr and in nv can
Had just settled our brains for long winters nap

has not become so familiar in poeticnl measure, we

PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The same afternoon on which South Carolina
seeded the House passed bill providing for
the building of two railroads to the Pacific
The passage of this bill in the House is a great
achievement, and the opinion prevails that it
will pass the Senate by strong vote, although
in that branch everything will depend upon the
southwestern Senators. Two roads are provid
ed for, central one starting from Missouri and
Iowa, and southern one having an eastern
teImini in Arkansas and Texas. To the GEN.
tral road bonds of not exceeding 100000 600
are to be issued, and to the southern not more
than S36,00O,000; the latter being the less ex-
pensive route now traversed by the overland
mail, while the former is the more direct but
difficult route of the pony express The bonds
are to be payable in thirty years, government
taking up part if not all in mail and other SER
vice. On the completion of every fifty miles
bonds are to be issued, and the roads must be
completed through in fifteen years, and at least
five hundred miles of both road and telegram
on each route in six years. Liberal grants of
land along the route go to each company. The
bill is the handiwork of Mr. Curtis of Iowa.
chairman of the House Special Committee. and
it passed by the good vote of 95 to 74,-63 re-
publlcans and 32 opposition in favor, and II
republicans who voted against it were the Min
nesota members and others who favored n third
road for that State Messrs Dawes and Delano
of Massachusetts, and Morrill, and Walton of
Vermont being included under this head. The
opposition members who voted for the bill were
the northern democrats, the Kentucky and Ten
nessee Americans, and the delegations from
Missouri, California and Oregon. The four
members from Arkansas and Texas were equal
~ divided for and against, and the Atlantic and
cotton slave States voted solid against, includ-
ing Louisiana. Mr. Curtis said at the opening
of the session that he hoped the bill would pass
on the same day South Carolina adopted her
secession ordinance, and he had his wish. Gar
nett of Virginia announced with flourish of
trumpets what South Carolina had done, and
instead of the members scattering in alarm they
straghtway called for the ayes and noes, cutting
off suddenly the filibuster movements that had
before ruled the day against the bill.
