CALIFORNIA, ADVICE TO MEXICOl
That the acquisition of this Country by force or
purchase is ser,o2sly contemplated by the "pro.
gressive" Demoerscy--they who claim that the
..whole boundless continent is ours" and threaten
40 forbid colonization by any European power,
las IL we ourselves did not exist simply because
I'VE were ee1onies first,) can hardly be matter
of speculation. There is little doubt that Mr..
Slidell's mission to Mexico was prompted in part
10y the view of treating With that power Tor the
purchase Of California moderation or the pant
of the Democracy very much to be apPlauded-
for were it not as easy to establish title TO Cali.
fornia as to all Of Oregon and is not Mexico
much softer customer than England Since we
whip Mexico easily, we confess our sur
prise that Polk and the Illinois and Empire Club
Democracy should be willing TO pay when they
could say stand! and deliver % and have it de.
ivered! II is quite an unexpected march in mo-
rails.
Aud now if Gen. Herrera, or Of he is by this
time uppermostj Gen. Paroles, viii take our re.
spectful advice, it is that they should sell Califor-
nia-sell at once-seil at any price they can get
If they do not, by "bsll, book and candle" to use
one of their own Catholic adjurations, in five
years they will have nothing to sell! California
will be TeIasized to a certainty.
Could voice penetrate the Escurial, we
would humbly give the same advice to Her Ca.
tholic Majesty respecting Cuba The naughty
pride of Spain will revolt at the proposition to sell

accustomed TO starvc cheerfulIy, rather than con.
tess their master had neglected them But we
advise the Queens ministers to put their pride in
their pocket and get something for Cuba, better
than nothing. We know the raging appetite Of
our country-m men and race for LAND. They have
fallen in love with Cuba, and loM have il sooner
or later.
A correspondent of the New York Herald at
Washington. says:
