The Designs OF England upon CaIifor-

mia.
II cannot have escaped public attention that
the fight and capture of Santa Anna is said to
have disclosed tho existence of negotiation be-
tween the ex-President of Mexico and the Bri-
fish minister, for the cesson of California to Eng
land. This intelligence, when fully developed,
will awaken the public mind 10 the duplicity Of
England in opposing the annexation Of Texas to
the United States While she is known 10 object
10 the extGnsion of the limits of our conledera-
cy, she is striving TO acquire footing in the vi
cinity Of Texas ITSELF This is certainly modest
ION her part, but in keeping with her past charac-
Ter.
That the United States will consent TO have
England occupy California, is not to be expected,
President MONROE, some twenty years since, de-
clared in his message, that the United States
would consider it just cause of hostility should
any European monarchy hereafter ''attempi to
extend their system to any portion of America,
as dangerous to our peace and safety" Since
that memorable declaration, it has been consd-
cred the uniform and acknowledged policy Of our
government, TO hold uncompromisingly TO this
rule. But the recent effort of England TO ac-
quire California, has naturally excited the belief
that she is preparing to set at naught this tunda-
mental principle of our foreign policy.
| California is not of less extent than Texas,
and fully equal in soil, climate and fertility TO any
province in America. Travellers who have
roamed fan and wide, speak of California as the
most splendid country IN America. 1t is we'll
known that for years past, England has cast a
longing eye on this beautiful province, and now,
when Mexico has become heavily indebted to
English bondholders, t seems a fitting opportu-
nifty to obtain the cession of this province, in pay
ment of those debts But our people and oul
government will have something TO say about
this. They are still mindful Of the lessons Of
Monroe, that such conduct con the port of any
European power cannot be regarded in ony 9th
cr light than as the manifestation of an unfrend-
| ly disposition toward the United States This
was the position of our country IN 1923, when
we had but ten millions of inhabitants. Now
when that population has expanded TO twenty
millions of souls--when our nations wealth and
power and resources have augmented in still
greater degree,-w can doubt that she will be
prepared to honorably and firmly sustain tha
which time has shown to be the sound American
l policy?
