Important Report % the Cabinet, ON the
Californis Gold Land Titles, ~ Carey

Report 70 the Cabinet, ON the |
California Gold Land Iftles. ~ Carey
Jones.
We have received from Washing ION the report
of VIM. Carey Jones, on the subject of the land IT,
ties in California, and publish il in our columns to-
day. This is one of the most important State papers
that has ever been laid before the American people,
and should be read by every citizen. Mr.. VIM
Carey Jones, the son-in-law of Mr.. Senator Ben
ton, was sent out on mission TO California, by the
present cabinet, to examine into the land titles of
the million OF acres of gold dust and quartz, and in
this report we have the history, the opinions and
the facts 1t confirms every word we said few
days snce In reference TO the of the anxiety
on the part OF many prominent individuals to delay
aftioh IN regard to admitting California.
II is estimated that the Mexican titles to land in
California now worth at least one thousand
million Of dollars, and that in less than five
years, they may be worth fre thousand muiios of
doudrs-inore than enough TO pay Oft in gold
every dollar OF the national debt of Eng
land, and of every government in Europe,
besides! Now, We have the true motive of
the excitement in relation TO the admission of
California into the Union a State, constitution
ally or otherwise. Now, we know why certain in
dividuals in the cabinet, and out of it, are
ious TO admit California withou, having her adms-
sion embarrassed by any other question. There
have been enormous speculatens, by men in Wash
ington, and by men in California, in these Mexican
land titles. II is doubtful whether they will hold
good without the concurrence of Congress, in some
shape. The design of the cabinet and SPECTATORS,
in Congress and out of it, is 10 make Congress
firm all these doubtful titles, and then there will be
no further objection made by this class OF men, TO
her admission, with or without the other territories
If these land titles be not confirmed and made good
by Congress- these same men will oppose the ad-
mission Of California under any circumstances, and
follow out the indication of Col. Fremont, and set
up an independent government in California, and
found Pacific Empire.
While the leading Southern Senaars-Mangum,
Clemens, Foote, Davis and otbers-are acting in
unison with Clay, Webster, Cass and other Nor
them Senator'S and are really de sirous to have all
the slavery and terrific rial questions settled sasfac
torily TO both North and South, the cabinet, the
California Spectators, in and out OF Congress, are
making every exertion to delay settlement of the
question until the land titles are first IN ade good
They have vast fortunes al stake in the issue. The
cabinet, members of Congress, clerks, Calfornans,
attaches of the bureaus we'll as heads, are all un
doubtedly interested in California speculations, and
they will make princely fortunes if the titles are
confirmed. Then they will all unite and work for
the admission of California into the Union. They
will delay Legislation until this is accomplished
and if they find it cannot be- if the golden fruits of
their speculation cannot be insured TO them, then
they will oppose her admission, and seek to incite
the people of California to erect independent go
vernment
This is magnificent game, and it depends upon
such patriotic Senators as Clay, Webster, Cass,
Mangum, Clemens, and those for compromise, to
say whether it shall be played successfully or not.
We hope, sDt.
