WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 1e49.
Our friends in California have helped
themselves, very literally, in.he way Of
our own boundary. They made their
seacoast line only a thousand miles il
extent, and took nothing more than just
exactly the whole. They know very
well that when their placers give Out,
the ocean will afford them plentiful
resource, in commerce and navigation.
Anticipating that a State, with an area
exceeding that Of all the non. .slavehold.
ing States n the Union---leaving out
lowa--a State with mn area of half
million of square miles--wouId be, Of
cumbrous extent--,hey leil out Of their
boundaries q large portion Of the in,e.
rior.
The Mormons do NOT, they say, chose
to ally themselves with them; but IL
nigh. happen still that the TWO OF three
Slates 10 be carved out of California
might desire an access to the ocean, and
latlitlle sea coast. Icunnol believe iha,
Congress will assent 10 such boundary
as has been indicated. They will, of
course, modify the State constitution In
that reePcct, when they give their assen.
10 it, This will delay, for some time,
the admission of the State, as the con.
slitntion must 60 back for modification.

Boundaries of the State Of
California,

AS we have before stated, the Cali.
fornia boundary question had not been
disposed of by the State Convention nj
Monterey, at sho latest dates from there,
September 22nd. We add the recor
mendations OF the select committee, 10
which the subject was referred, as re.
CARDS the boundaries Of the proposed
State:
Your committee are of opinion that
the present boundary of California com.
1prehends tract of country entirely too
Extensive for ono State, and that there
ARE various other lorcible reasons why
that boundary should not be adopted by
this Convention. The area of the tract
Iof country included within the present
boundary is estimated to be four hun.
|dred and forty. eight thousand six hun.
|drcd and ninety one (44e,69l) square
miles, which is nearly equal to lhat Of
all the non slaveholdipg States Of the
Union, and which, deducting the area Of
Iowa, is greater than that Of all the resi-
due Of the non.sl .slavcholding States.
Your committee are of the opinion
that country like this, extending along
the coasl nearly q Thousand piles. and
s,ycfve hundred miles into the
in,e,ior. canno, be conveniently or iairly
represen,ed in S,u,e Legislature nete'

follows of the press in Turkey:
"The cabinet of st. Petersburg express their
anger at every step which the Turks make In
civilisation. The Turkish government 10 well

erfui instrume nts which can be employed in the

for Il would be impossible for the proprietor Of
newspaper In Turkey to find sufficient number
Of subscribers to pay the expenses OF his estsb-
iishment and obtain somelittle remu nerstion be-
sides. AS far az regards the Turkish govern
ment, these newspapers are as free In the express
sion Of their opinions as in any paper in Lon
don or Paris. The only restrictions under which
they labor, are those inflicted them by foreign
embassies. But there 10 no embassy which ex-
erts SO severe censorship over them as the
Russian. Atthe best times the journals contain
| little or no news, and are mostly filled win
verbose speculations upon the resources OF lnr-
key, and the future glory and power which the
fates have In reserve for the Ottoman empire
The other day, however, two papers, written IN
French, published some news from Hungary,
brought by the Austrian courier. These articles
alluded to a recent victory obtained by the Hun
garians over the Russian troops. The suscep'
tibility of M. de Titoff, the Russian ambassa-
dor, was reused. Surrounded by body Of
attaches, he sought the presence Of the Grand
Vizier, who promised to punish the miserable
editors, and with this assurance the Russian
ambassador and his suite dashed out Of the
house.'-M o. Crescent.

have interfsred with the natural progress Of

doing variety of things. Bya very gradual
process, the whole matter would have arranged
itself in the course Of ages. The Journal says:
"The progress of society, aided by the en-
tightening and elevating power Of the Christian
religion, takes away, by very gradual process,
the necessity for the evil Of despotic govern.

sssl was "rsPidly degensrating into the wildes,

writer sAid that on the next day he would speak
u the duties imposed upon the people of the
Uaitsd States BY their relation to our colored
pspulstion- This was a promise that filed us
with hope. There were many Objectionable
things In the article, a. we believed, but we
we're willing 10 pam over all. The writer, we
thessht, h evidently about to recognise the
slaves - human beings. He is about to propose
that the marriage relation shall be recognised
