We have already, ON more than one occasion,
invited attention TO the facts refuting the pre-
tence that the movements in California and
New Mexico were brought about by the insti-
CATION of the military agents of the Govern
ment. Ii seems superfuous TO repeat them.
but still the charge is repeated in various
forms, with as much assurance as il it had never
been repealed. In both Of those cases, the only
agency of the military commandment has been
that Of facilitating the expression of the pop
ular will. That agency has been required
at their hands. not as the military representa-
tive Of conquering power. but as the chief
civil executive, sustaining in that character
the same obligation To interpose no obstacle TO
the peaceful ascertaining Of the judgment OF
the people committed to their charge, upon the
necessities of their condition. and the appro-
pirate remedies for the evils under which they
labor. as il neither OF them had ever worn an
epaulette, and both had been invested with civil
functions by popular suffrage.
II is indeed an anomaly in our republican
system, that the functions Of civil governor
should be attached to any military grade. in
virtue Of the rank and command which it may
confer in particular district II is not the only
homogeneous appendage which has fastened it.

The right of the people peaceably to assem-
