extended, at the same time that Honduras claims 10
exercise jurisdiction over II also.
The New York Sun of to-day INDUCES, il seems
TO me, in some unnecessary inquiries and surmises
respecting the destination and objects Of the Calfor
| nian regiment, commanded by Col. Stevenson. Ii
repeats the idle speculstions of some Of the whig
journals about fat jobs, &c, without attempting 10
submit any proof Ii might be demanded Of the
Sun whether California during the war with Mex
leo, is not as legiimatey country for invasion
New Leon or any other department Of the enemy's
country But, says the Sun, peace may be eoneu-
ded before the regiment reach the Pacific. What
Of thati II the arrangements Of peace should con-
yey California 10 the United States, will the troops
not be necessary for protecting the rights Of Amer
can citizens in the territory But should peace
sue without the acquisition OF California, the regi
ment will be transferred to Oregon, where the men
can be usefuly employed in erecting forts, making
roads, and in assisting emigrants on their way 10
the territory. The conditions of their enlistment
rested on the fact that when disbanded, they
remain in Oregon, other territory, acquired by
the United States and that, If they returned, it
TO be at their own expense.
IL California should be acquired instead of one
regiment on the Pacific, we should have two; one in
Oregon, and the other in California. We have mil
itary posts among the Indian tribes frontier
east Of the Rocky mountains; why ale they not
equally necessary among the Indians west Of those
mountalnsl .
IL appears to me deal Of csylling and frivolous
fault. finding has found its way into the opposition
with few neutral, papers about thisCalifoInia reg
ment. The priyates, in some instances, by their
friends other parties, whenever opportunity Of
fered, have been tampered with. Some few have
been induced To leave; but for every vacancy il is
said, there has been eight ten new applicants for
admission. The government, in Originating and
eduippng this regiment for the service contemplated
have acted wisely, and have selected the right sort
of men for carrying out its wishes.
