Revolution iy California.

BY tire last news from California it appears that
Che Mexican authorities have been driven from that
portion OF the Republic of Mexico. The revolution
lists about organizing republican Government,
with President and Representative Legislature,
modelled after the Legislatures of the United States.
Thus, says the New York Sun, .speeds the cause
of popular Government; despotic systems falling
all around us by the force of public opinion without
the aid of or conquering armies.
The revolution in upper California Is said have
been commenced without the loss of single life.
The people informed the Governor that bis cxactions
cruel, oppressive and contrary to those prnci-
pies of enlightened Government winch prevailed
among the most intelligent and prosperous IONS.
They asked withdrawal of certain proclamations
and laws issued by order of the Mexican Government.
They had TO part in the enactment Of those laws and
could not acknowledge the right of any body of men
To impose laws upon them without their knowledge
or consent. The Governor treated the people with
contempt and threatened instant death If they per-
sisted in their demands. Alarmed OR their personal
safety tie settlers resolved to risk their lives at
in a struggle for independence. The Government

the Governors dwelling Fort; scouting parties
were stationed at a distance of miles to cut of
all supplies, and after the lapse of few weeks mes
sengers despatched to the Fort to ascertain the
disposition of Governor Mlebet0rena and his army
The armed settlers numbered to one of the army
Resistance was useless, and the Governor withdrew
with his forces leaving the country III possession %

In a few years California Will be ready TO
annexation and will join the glorious confederacl
of the United States. Santa Fe and New Mexico are
agtated by popular movement, and the dlstrlc
Governments have been menaced by the people; al,
they too are taking the steps preliminary to annex

THE TALE TOLD.

We have little paragraphs which show hou
Indian difficulties begin, and who is at fault
in creating them. We copy the following
from the Cherokee Advocate.
We are informed by gentleman just from
Maysville, Arkansas, that fowl murder was
perpetrated in that village on the night ofthe
10Th inst. by some unknown assassin. The
name of the murdered man, is E. George, a
Cherokee. The deceased in company with
some other Cherokees, had gone to MaysvilIe
on Saturday, says our informant, and there
got into a drunken frolic, and is supposed to
have been in a state of intoxication at the
time he received the fatal blow.
Nothing seems TO have been known ofthe
fate of this unfortunate man, until the next
morning, Sunday when his ~lifeIess body
was discovered lying in one of the. streets OF
that ill-fated village, with two or three stabs
in his back an side, penetrating to the hollow
and not far from the whisky shop from
whence was dealt out the liquid fire, which,
no doubt, excited the assassin 10 the bloody
deed.
Who speaks here? The Indian. His pen
WFtteS Wudt MS Aealt leelSs duu HIS Hedu dlC-
tates. And who dilfuses this liquid Gre-wa-
king up the red mans devilish passions, and
creating strife, bloody dispute, and murder?
The rhite man. And if when thus excited,
or crased, the poor Indian fires building, Or
strikes down the white, or is guilty of any
~lawless, or reckless conducttowards the "Set-
ler,'' vengeance follows him, and his clan
his whole tribe it maybe-is made TO feed it.
'Tis a hard lot, and the wonder is, that the
savage bears with if as meekly and bravely as
be does.

New HARMONY, JUNE I4Tu. Is

New HARMONY, JUNE I4TH, 1916.
Mr.. Editor: Now that we have our champ
ion in the field, armed and equipped, every
Wing in the district should turn his attention
TO the ensuing his success. All who have
any regard for the district, for the state, or for
the country; in short all good and true Wings
will use every honorable means of e%lecting
Mr.. Wilson to represent them ia the next
Congress. Nor is there any reason to be-
lieVe this task will be equal TO the labours Of
Hercules. Our opponents however, seem
10 consider it equally difficult; why? One
reason is, that Owen defeated Payne. 1t has
been shown that Owen had an advantage in
the contest with Payne, which it is not at all
likely he will enjoy+this summer. Another
reason why the locofocos feel so sanguine is,
that there was a large majority in the district
for Polk. How was that majority obtained?
By the most attrocious and unparalleled Sian
ders and falsehoods, that ever disgraced even
l~ocofoco demagogues. Their filthy slang
however, will totally fail 10 effect the Wing
candidate for representative. Ii may be ask
ed why cannot Mr.. Wilson be effected by any
that would injure Henry Clay? II Mr. Clay
had been a resident of the district. and had
used the e~xertion which Mr.. Wilson will,
Mr.. Folks majority would not have been
quite so large in this section of country.
Mr.. Wilson lives in our midst; and if he
is not now, he will make himself known TO
those he wishes 10 support him. He will
give every person in the district an opportu-
nlty of seeing and hearing him; when he will
answer and explode all SANDERS and false
hoods his opponents may circulate to his pre-
JUDGE.
There are no Plaquemines, no Empire
Clubs to injure The cause of our candidate.
They cannot interrupt him by the contempt
BILE cry of Nativism, the old worn out lies of
bargain and corruption, gambling, duelling,
and many others that came hot from the foul
mouths Of locofcoism in the last Presiden-
tiak contest. As for arguing the case, the
Wings would be greatly benefited by il; and
therefore may very safely challenge their op-
ponents to attempt it.
As the locos dare not argue, and as SLAM
der will only %iniure their own cause, one
may conclude that if the Wings take proper
interest in the canvass, they viii certainly be
represented by their candidate in the next
Congress. Yours.

81 1t would seem that no foreign diplo-
matte agent travels in Mexico without being
robbed. The object of this proceeding is
thus stated by a Washington correspondent
of the New York Commercial Advertiser:
"IYe were more amused than surprised
here at the story that Mr.. Elliot, the British
Charge d'Afiaires, was robbed on his way to
Mexico from Vera Cruz. Mexican robber-
les of public fiinctionaries are ofold date, and
always of a mysterious character. Robbery
is a part of the system of police in Mexico,
and public men have learned to understand
it. The object of the robberies is to get
possession, for the Government, of the pri-
yate papers, political objects, and instructions
of the f~unctionary, and the Government in
varIably makes restitution of the money and
valuables taken by the robbers, il they un-
warily OF oil necessity take them.
"Gen. Thompson was robbed on his way
to Mexico. The Government Immediately
offered him anaAlA-ns papers
o1s 5S qhbt ffeffhfned. When Mr.. Shannon
went out, as Minister, he was, warned thai he
would be robbed between Vera Cruz and
Mexico, and advised to take no money with
him, but TO procure a bill, as can always be
done, at Vera Cruz, on Mexico. He did so.
and was duly robbed. The Government of.
iered lis coincidence, and rendered indenni-
~fication to a large amount.
"When Mr.. Gushing passed through Mex
leo, on his return from China, he was sion
ped by a troop of half military, half savage
looking fellows, who demanded his KEYS.
&c. They oVerhauled every thing. Ills
trunks with specie and with public papers
were examined and locked up again. A box
with papers was taken, and he was then told
20 proceed.
"Commodore Porter, when they attempt
ed 10 rob him, OF his return from Mexico.
having had some difficulties with that Gov,
eminent, and being in no humor for the. Old.
GRAFTON, wheeled his horse upon The CAPTAIN
OF the troop and shot him dead, whereupon
the rest took 10 fight.
"Cases have been known wherein men of
importance have been robbed, ACCORDING to
order, and upon their arrival at Mexico. com
planned of their large losses. and the Govern
ment, though well knowing that the loss was
tr'tilng, have restored the sum claimed n
the Government wishes to gain a man. who
has lost but twenty doubloons, they saw. Won
must have lost sixteen hundred doublaons
ana II he assents they pay him accordingly,
| 40 not intimate that this has been the case
with any OF our functionaries.o
