CALIFORNIA; serious difficulty in the wav
OF the admission Of California az State, has not
received so much attention as it deserves Ii
arises out OF the magnitude of the territory
Texas IS by far the largest State of the Union,
having i've or ak times the area Of any other State
But Texas was not erected from a territory or from
lands Of the United States, but came intothe Union
iuliy organized as a subs1sting sovereignty and it
was deemed important then TO make provision for
the future division Of Texas into smaller States
The area OF California is greatly larger than that
OF Texas, by more than a hundred and twenty
thousand square miles enough TO make two States
larger than the largest of the Western or Middle
States OF the Union 1t is not likely that Congress
VIII surrender at once TO a comparatively few
inhabitants on the Pacific the sovereignty over
territory enough to make nearly len such States as
virginia The utter impossibility that so muck
space could be protected and governed by the pom
ulallon on the coast, which is now making q State
Constitution, Is too evident TO need argument TO
prove II much less will it be- contended that the
laws and systems which that population may adopt
shall nave force over such immense tracts of vet
une1plored land. The new State VIII have to
content Itself With some definite and moderate
boundaries, or its chance Of Omission will be very
seriously affected
But if the Limits Of the STATE are reduced. the
great object Of Fastening California into the Union
may be defeated 1t has Lasn thought that bv
erecting The Territory at once into STATE, and set
Ting the slave question in the State Constitution
the agitation in our Congress on the subject of
enacting restrictive provision might be quieted
1t would be, if California and New Mexico were
both received at as States and no territory in
that quarter were left for the government of Con-
gress, But any portion Of either, not included
within the State lines must have form of govern
ment provided, and in arranging that there will be
the same causes and the same motives for insisting
upon the Proviso restriction, as exits now over the
whole Territory. The area indeed will he differ
ent, and they who maintain the Southern right
will probably have lost strength by the decision
against them of the new California Constitution ::
but the question will he much open for agitation
and will in all likelihood be as mucl' aeftated as
though the whole Territory had remained in its
stale Of dependence.
These are strong inducements to hurry on the
consideration Of these matters in order TO get rid Of
an embarrassing subject hut there are signs in the
political sky, which indicates that every point will
be obstiuarsIy contested.

The ELEcTIoN IN California; cores
pondent of the Boston Times gives the following
account of the way the election was conducted in
the diggings =" On the day appointed we were
encamped six miles below our present location
During the hot part of the day. the season of the
SleSta, a young, ntegent-oOking man came into
the camp on mule, and invited us all to turn out
and go TO the polls. We had been in the country
but few days, and knew very little of its local
politics, bur decided upon following the young man
TO the Big Bar, where the election was to be held,
and there gather what information we could Of
we went by the mule path, over hill and ravine,
craggy rocks, and through thQrny Chaparral until
we came to the Bar. The place of meeting was
store tent, and here we met about twenty miners.
We arranged ourselves along on a log, under the
edge OF the tent and waited the progress of events
Directly our guide took off his hat, and nominated
moderator for the meeting, then three inspectors
aud clerk; all of whom were chosen without a
dissenting voice. At the request Of one of our
party, he then stated the object of the election and
at the same time informed us that the first name on
the prepared ballot fordeegales 10 the Convention
was his own. One of the prominent questions in
the election was an expression to whether sla-
very shall be allowed in California. The candi-
date, though Lonisianan was opposed. out and
out to the Introduction of slavery here and so we
all voted for him. For myself, was Of the opin-
ION Ot an old mOunlaineer, who, leaning against
the eni-Pole, haraugued the. crowd to The effect
that IN a country where every white man made a
slave Of HIMSELF there was no use in keeping mig

Yesterday afternoon this beautiful boat made

sired We had the pleasure of being on board on
the occasion, and must say for ourselves that she
is the smoothest running boat we ever set our feet
upon. Although the engines and everything about
her was perfectly new, she ran through the water
with so much ease that scarcely jar from the ma
chineIy was felt; and several gentlemen on board,
well Versed III such matters, had no hesitation in
declaring that she would prove to be one Of the
sWliiest boats on the waters. That she must be

NGssel that the experienced Captain Francis COM

ANTIQUITIES IN CENTRAL AMERICA.-A letter
from MEr Squier, our new Minister to Nicaragua,
was read in the chronological Society of New York,
at their meeting on the evening of the I9rh. The
New York Mirror describes some Of its contents.
Mr.. S. has already made progress in antiquarian
researches and made some remarkable discoveries
He has forwarded several curious relics to WASH
ington City. His letter gives an account of the
discovery Of an ancient city, buried beneath the
forest, about hundred and fifty miles from Leon,
which far surpasses the architectural wonders of
Palenque. There are evidently hidden cities upon
the western continent far exceeding in size and the
grandeur of their monuments the revelations of
Hercuaneum and Pompeii. The Indians every
where receive him with the utmost kindness, and
their'chiefs regard him as a heaven-sent minister
to protect them from their Spanish oppressors
Mr.. Bartlett mr. SqueF's correspondent also
read curious letter addressed to the President of
the United States, from the last of the Peruvian
Incas, accompanied by letter from Samuel G.
Arnold, of Providence Mr.. Arnold, who has re.
Gently returned from South America, met with the
Inca, who is now ninety years Of age. He gives
a very graphic account of his appearance, and re-
lates the affecting story of the wrongs of his race
He found the princey old priest sitting in the sha
dow of the Temple of the Sun, engaged in reading
Tasso-a scene for painter, and a theme for a
novelist. The New York Mirror promises to get
for publication full description of this interview

A Row IN CANADA correspondent Of the
New York Tribune gives the following particulars
of Tory ''muss'' at London, Canada West, on
the occasion of the visit of Lord Elgin:
The Mayor is a violent Tory, and actually ex-
cited the PEOPLE to violence by his conduct. When
the Governor was on his road TO town the Tories
cut down the arches erected and attacked the post
office; Mr.. GoOdhue, the postmaster, being OBJ
nOxiUus because he had made preparations for
grand dinner to the Governor. They beat the post
master and his clerks with clubs, and overturned
the letter boxes, &c. The Mayor, upon this sent
off an EXPRESS warning the Governor not to come,
bat Lord Egin continued his course. About 9CC0
people assembled from all parts to meet him, and the
procession wes three miles long. He addressed the
raople from the balcony of the hotel, and there
were disturbances among die crowd. A pistol shot
was fired by Tory, and young man wounded
in the check, but the assailants were promptly
driven off"

INTERESTING FROM THE CAMANoHE NATION
The National Intelligencer of the 2Oh contains an
account from official sources, of late transactions
IN the Camanehe Nation, which have been already
referred to; Intelligence has been received at the
War Department respecting an important National
Council recently held by the Camanche Indians.
This council lasted ten days, and lis object was 10
elect new chief to rule the nation, lin place of
the one recently deceased and the individual thus
hOnOred glOries in the name of Buffalo Hump
On being installed into Office after the Indian
fashion, this head chief called upon his subordin-
ates freely to express their opinions upon all mat
tefs OF the nation; whereupOn many speeches were
delivered. They were generally of the most
friendly character, but none more so than that de-
livered by the newly-elected chief himself He
maintained that his people had formerly made war
upon Texas when it was feeble and alone, and
had gained nothing and he gave il as his opinion
thatlt they now continued TO make war upon Tex
as since 1t had become part Of the United States,
the result would be their utter destruction as
nation. He also expressed his determination to do
all In his power TO put stop to the theving depre-
dations which had been committed by portion of
his people against the white inhabitants, and ex-
pressed hope that his efforts would be successful
The prominent members of the Council having
agreed to the advice OF Buffalo Hump two subor-
dlnate chiefs were appointed TO communicate in
person the result of the Council to Capt. Steele, of
the I'd dragons, at Fredericksburg, by whom re-
port was made to Gen. Brooke, commanding in
Texas, who forwarded it to the War Department.
