A PATRIOTIC RESOLVE. The Mobile Reg
isier, a leading Democratic paper in Ala
bamn. holds the following patriotic Ian.
guoge:
"The great questions which have shaken
tho Union to IFS foundation, are, at last,
disposed Of, and if The settlement is not such
as we approve and would have voted for, il
IS just cause of rejoicing that the country is
relieved from suspense; that the subject IS
put to rest.
"The question now presents iisclf, what
should the South do? For ourselves. we
answer, urquiesce. There is no medium
ground to occupy between submission and
Glsuniun. We have watched too closely
the current of public sentiment TO believe
that a majority Of our people viii prefer
dissolution Of The Union to acqursccncc
IN the settlement, taken as vi o e."

further communications from you in relation TO
commercial interests, and the general condition OF

you in regard to the former, will be most welcome,

You will furnish the department with copy OF

and whether any, and what other, nations shall

next session the recognition of Hungary, and you
might intimate, if you should see TIT, that the Pre-
sident would, in that event, be grated to receive
diplomatic agent from Hungary, in the United
States, by or before the next meeting of Congress,
and that he entertains no doubt whatever, that in
case her new government should prove to be flrm

The Mineral Lands OF California.

TIE REPoRT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE TO WHOM
WAS RErKRRED THE sUBJECr or PUBLIC DOMAINS.
MINERAL LANDS, ErC. FEBRUARY g. 1850. ny
Mr.. wALIHAIL.
Mr. SrrAKKR-Thc committee TO whom was re-
ferrcd the JOINT resolutions the subject of public
domain, mineral lands, custom houses and branch
of the United states mint. and money that right
fully belongs TO the State of California, have had
the resolutions submitted TO them under considera-
tion, and beg leave to report.
In the committees opinion. the most important
subject embraced IN the resolutions is that Of the
mineral lands How shall they be disposed Of I
Who shall be allowed 10 work theml These ques-
tons are pregnant with interest to the State affect
ing as they DO both The moral and pecuniary wei
fare Of the commonwealth. During the past year
swarms Of foreigners from the Mexican provinces
from South America, the islands Of the pacihc
Europe, and the penal colonies of Great Britain
have worked m the mining districts, and, after ex-
tracing from them hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars 10 expend on institutions and places beyond the
hounds of our State and country, have returned to
their respective homes without contributing any,
thing TO the prosperity Of people whose hard
earned end honorably purchased wealth they have
appropriated 10 themselves. Incited by their sue
cess. they will he succeeded the present year by
swaims larger and more greedy.
The time has come when the question, "Shal n
foreign population have unchecked access TO our
mincsr' demands an answer. Involving as il does
questions of State interest and national policy
your committee feel that II requires something be-
yond n mere ausion or hasty answer This sub
ton is asked, - fortified by seeming arguments on
both sides. On one hand we have a long and we N
defined line Of public policy respecting such per-
sons may emigraie from the monarchical inst-
ions and rule Of other countries 10 the republican
blessings Of our own. Your committee is not pre-
pared 70 recommend any general departure from
policy well in keeping with the spirit of our in
stitutions; but the conviction forces tself upon
them, that the privilege Of working the mines OF
our State should be limited to the citizens Of our
country. The reasons som which such convic-
ton springs arc numerous
lst. The mineral wealth Of California has been
made the property of our nation az 100 heavy an
