tonal act to include some some articles now
free. The graduation of the price Of the pub
lie lands is again recommended, as also the or
ganzation Off government for the territory of
Oregon-and the raising an additional force
to serve during the war. The message COM
mends the suggestion Of the Secretary Of the
navy, to add to each of our foreign sqnadrons
an efficient sea steamer, "and the establishment
at Pensacola ofthe necessary means Of repair
ing and rciitting the vessels of the navy, EN-
ployed in tho Gulf of Mexico"
The revenues Of the general post office for
the year, have been, SO 4s7, 1893, and the OK
penditures, S4,0S4, POI. The disbursements
for the year, were, S236, 431 less than during
the preceding year.
The President concludes his message with
the expression of his full reliance upon the
wisdom and patriotism" of congress-which
we hope members will fully justify.
CAPT. SrecKroN's PROCLAMATION. A pro.
clamatjon, purporting to be made by Captain
Stockton, OF the U. S. Navy, is published,
which begins as follows:
|, Robert F. Stockton, Commander-in-C Chief
of the United States forces in the Pacific ocean,
and Governor of the Territory OF California,
and Commanderm-C Chief Of the army Of the
same, do hereby make known to all men that,
having by right of conquest taken possession
Of that territory known by the name of Upper
and Lower California, do now declare it to
be a Territory Of the United States, under the
name of the Territory of California.
He then proceeds to ordan the form Of gov
eminent for said territory. The National In.
telligencer doubts the genuneness of this doc
ument; and we are inclined to the same opn-
ion, for the reason, that no officer in the u. S.
Navy can be so ignorant Of his Legitimate
powers, as to have assumed the preroga-
tves puporrting to have been exercised by
Captain Stockton IN this procamation.-
If the paper be genuine, it will become the
duty of Congress to rebuke the Captain for his
bold usurPatoa, and to dissolve his illegally
formed government. Captain Stockton has no
more right to declare the CALIFORNIA; "to be
territory of the United States" than any other
individual; nor can those provinces become so
annexed by other than the authority of
Congress. There will doubtless be expana-
tons demanded in reference to this and the
proclamation of General Kearney-for, if
our military and naval commanders are per-
nited to exercise the annexing power, we
shall soon have an end of our present system of
government.
