Some of our friends think they see 'incip-
lent" indications Of a change in public senti
ment in the North. We hope the change may
come, though we may not be as sanguine on
that head, as others are That it will come, in
time, not only in the North, but in the West,
is certain. But when? That We cannot say
Ultraism in all governments, when it gets the
bit between its teeth, runs its course, for a
season. How long that season is to last here,
it is impossible to tell. But order, peace and
moderation, will finally be demanded by the
whole people. Such condition of things as
now exists, cannot prevail for long series of
years, in country which has once experienced
the blessings Of constitutional law and regulated
liberty, and whose vita! interests are concerned
in restoring the important principles of that
constitution, and enjoying the fruits Of that
liberty. Unless, indeed. it is intended utterly
to destroy all that makes life valuable or en-
durable.

THE ASSESSMENT. - Mr.. MOrse's article,
which we published last week, showed very
conclusively the glazing Injustice and ridicu-
lous absurdity of the present manner of valu-
ing property for taxable purposes.
Its useless to expect "moncy and credits
to be fairly listed so long as the same money
value in real estate or personal property is lis
ted at only one half or one-third what il is
worth. Some men will lie. and others, too
conscientious for that. will remove their mon
ey, notes, etc, where taxes are less, or the
existence Of the property may not be known.
The law is not in fault. 1t is explicit, di-
rect and plain. The instruction to Assessors
is positive-to assess all property at its fair
money value. The blanks are too plain to be
misunderstood. The Assessors were specially
required by the Secretary of State to follow
the law, and assess property at its full value,
and they were sworn TO do so.
What was the result ? In but two or three
towns in this county was there decent as
sessment made. Improved farms were put in
atabout cne-third of their value, and horses,
cattle and other personal property at about
half Assessors and property holders alike
shielded themselves behind that Devils SUBJ
terfuge,-the others do so, and Twill.
Now this way of doing business is both
sin and an evil.
1t is a sin, for it undermines the very basis
eff public morality. 1t places piety and per
, jury on a common level fpublic respect. 1T
will be hard TO convince boy that it is a
very fearful thing to lie, when he sees bis ia
ther swear to false valuation of his proper
iy.
1t is an evil, for il drives money away. No
man can afford to lend money on note and
mortgage, and pay the exorbitant tax which
the inequality of assessment compels him to.
Another great wrong is the unequal ratio in
which improved and unimproved lands are
assessed. For instance, we know a tract of
unimproved land which is for sale at $40 per
acre. That is all the owner asks for it. 1t
was assessed at $40 per acre. That was right.
But near this land is an improved farm for
which the owner has refused $50 per acre,and
that farm was also assessed at $40 per acre
That was shamelully wrong.
This way of assessing has kept hundreds of
people out of the county, and given us an I'M
enviable name abroad for high taxes. 1t is not
that our taxes are high, for they aie no more
SO than is incident to the improvement of any
new country, but it is because nonresident
land owners pay more than their just proper
ton Of the tax.
We hope this discussion win be kept up
until the people demand fair assessment
Such an assessment will not increase our To-
cal taxes. and if we should pay little heavier
State tax in consequence, the luxury of know
ing we had been decent and honest would be
sufficient compensation.

DIR. CAMERON.

A friend in La Crosse furnishes us with the
following account of the death Of DR.. d. d.
CAMERON.
Beyond a doubt, DIR. Cameron is no more.
This announcement, l know, viii carry sad
ness to the hearts of hundreds of citizens in
the State, who knew and appreciated him
Endowed as he was by the Creator with more
than ordinary ability, possessed of genial,
hearty disposition that endeared him to all
with whom he came in contact-the genial
companion, the firm friend and true patriot
is gone. A shadow is cast over our city
friends and business acquaintance meet each
other with gloomy faces and anxionsly en-
quiTe of the latest tidings Of efforts to recover
his body.
Oh it is sad have no heart to write.
He was my friend, and mourn his loss as on
ly those can who have lost dear friends.
The particulars of this melancholy circum-
stance are as follows, as near as / have been
able to ascertain. The DIR. was last seen
about o'clock in the morning of the 9th inst
when he left party of friends with whom he
had been spending the evening, and started
for his rooms, as all supposed. A lady who
was waiting thr arrival of boat, and a man
who was watching freight, about = or 2 o.
clock, saw a man walk off the dock at the
foot of Pearl St, into the river, saw him strug-
gle for time and finally sink into the dark
and turbid stream. They gave the alarm. the
people turned out at once, and ever since that
time daily and continued efforts have been
made to recover the body. JOS Losey Esq.
has been indefatigable in his efforts to secure
the body, but as yet without success. All we
know is that the DR.. is missing and that a man
answering his description was drowned about
the time he disappeared.
His brothers, Hon. Hugh Cameron and Hon
Angus Cameron have just returned from the
East, where they We're visiting friends at the
time of the sad accourence. They have the
heartfelt sympathy of our entire city.
These, in brief, are the facts just as they
occurred Excuse me if the narrative appears
crude. Ny heart is too full TO write upon This
subject. ! knew him, and loved him like a
