1t is the opinion Of some, that the proc
lamation Of the Governor of Illinois, pub
Gshed in our paper Of last week, is for
gerry. 1t came to US in handbill form, and
bore every appearance Of genuineness, ex-
cept that it was without date. The docn-
ment seemed to be directed to the people
Of Missouri and Iowa, and warned them
against interfering in the affairs of Illinois.
1t may be, that the Mormons or their friends
have taken upon themselves, temporarily,
the duty Of issuing proclamations in the
name of the Governor Of Illinois. If so,
his Excellency had better look TO it, and
see that his peculiar privileges are not
usurped again.

California.

With the view Of counteracting the ef-
feet Of American emigration to California,
a scheme is on foot, under the auspices OF
the British Government, it is said, for es-
,ablishing colony Of Irish on the Pacific
Coast, near the Bay Of San Francisco.
The choice of location is iudicious. The
Bay of San Francisco furnishes the best
Larbor to be found on the western shores
OF North America. But in selecting the
subjects for colonization, we doubt whelh-
er the like good judgement has been dis
played, SO far as British interests are con-
cerned. 1t is with the greatest difficulty
that England can keep hsr Irish subjects
under the yoke even at home. The con-
slant presence of an immense military
force alone prevents revolt from her allie
glance. Guarded and manacled az she il.
Ireland is ever struggling 10 escape from
ii. Tie thraldom--centuries Of oppression
have engendered among the Irish Ca,ho-
lies, who constitute slx-sevenths of the
nation, an implacable 'animosity TO the
British Government. With what pros
pect Of success, then, can the attempt be
made with such emigrants to found loyal
English colony OH remote continent?-I
Will change ofclimate change the heart Of
the emigrant and convert his hatred of
British rule into love and loyalty? We
very much doubt whether the experiment
will turn ont to the satisfaction Of those
who planned the enterprise. So far how
ever, as American interests are affected
the movement is by no means 10 be depre
ciated. We should consider settlement
OF Irish, on the Bay Of San Francisco, as
a circumstance decidedly favorable 10
American policy. Of all the foreigners
who come amongst US, the natives of the
Emerald Isle are the most enthusiastic In
their admiration Of our institutions; and il
the vote could be taken to-inorrow, BY uni
versal suffrage, the majority wonld be
overwhelming for the annexation Of Ireland
to the United States. With such popu-
lation, deeply imbued with republican and
predictions, how can England
. ypect to constitute colony Of liege sub
jects and erect barrier against Ameri-
can cmigrslfDn in California. The United
States have nothing to dread from this
new scheme Of British policy.--E o.

The emigration to this Territory, has
been very large this season so far. Our
two ferry boats, are kept constantly en-
ployed, in crossing over Wagons and
stock; and the emigrants appear to be the
right kind. We have not enqnired Of the
Ferrymen, but should think from appear
ances, that from twenty to forty Wagons,
crossed the river at this point daily. with
cattle, sheer &c., in proportion. We may
safely calculate upon large increase Of
population this fall; perhaps larger than
during any previous season. oe
