Proclamation.
To The Peopls of California.

Congress having failed at ts recent session to
provide a new Government for this country, 10 re-
place that which existed on the annexation Of Cal
fornia TO the United States the undersigned would
call attention TO the means which he deems best
calculated TO avoid the cmbarrassments Of our pre-
sent position.
The undersigned, in accordance with instruc-
tions from the Secretary Of War, has assumed the
administration Of civil affairs in California not rs
a military governor, but AZ the executive OF the eS
isting civil government. In the absence Of pro-
pcrly appointed civil governor, the commanding
officer Of the department IL, by the laws Of Cslifor
MIA -o6cio civil governor Of the country. and the
instructions from Washington were based on the
provisions of these laws This subject has been
misrcprosentcd, or at least misconceived, and cur
rency given to the impression that the country Is
still military. Such Is not the fact The military
government ended with the war, and what remains
is the cipii government recognised in the existing
laws of California.
Although tho command Of the troops in this de-
partment and the administration Of civil affairs in
California are, by the existing laws Of the country
and the instructions Of the President Of the United
States, temporarily lodged in the hands Of the
individual, they separate and distinct. No
military officer other than the Commanding Gene
raj Of the department exercises any civil authority
by virtue Of his military commission, andthe pow
ers Of the Commanding General, as sr cDieio Gov
ernor, are only such defined and recognised
in the existing laws The instructions Of the Sec
rotary OF War make it the duty of all military off,
GERS to recognise the existing civil government, and
10 aid it's officers with the military force under their
control Beyond this any interference Is not only
uucalcd for but strictly forbidden.
The laws Of California, not inconsistent with the
laws consultation and treaties Of the United States
are still in force, and must continue in force till
changed by competent authority. Whatever may
be thought Of the right Of the people 10 temporarily
replace the officers Of the existing government by
others appointed by Provisional Territorial Legis-

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. MASON
occupied the floor large part of the day,
on the bill in regard to fugitive slaves.
The Senate afterwards went into Execu-
tive session.
The House was chiefly engaged in the
reception of petitions-one Of which, pre-
sented by Mr.. BAYLy, oddly enough
asked for the establishment of monarchy
instead Of our present form Of govern
ment.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-01-29

by the letter of Mr.. CRAwvoRD, which
we laid before our readers few days
ago.
The Union, however, is determined to
make it appear that the President has
usurped powers in California unauthorized
by the Constitution, and in SO doing berates
General TAYLOR for not ''interfering with
the powers Of the military commsndant
who exercised the functions of civil gov
ernor" in California, under the sanction
and permission Of Mr. Polk. We have
already informed our readers of the nature
and extent of the functions General Ma
SON exercised in California as civil gov
ernor, before the peace. He appointed
public officers, ministerial and judicial;
he organized a state department, regulated
the customs, appointing collectors, har-
Dor masters, &C.. in fine, he performed
just such duties and exercised just such
powers as belong to the gubernatorial Of
fee. Records of his proceedings were
regularly sent TO the departments here in
Washington. Mr.. Polk and his cabinet
knew what powers General MASON exer-
cised, before the peace. After the peace
was proclaimed, General MASON is
sued proclamation continuing in him
self the functions and powers he as
sumed before the war was ended. This
proclamation and transcript of his pro-
ceedings under it were received at the
War Department before the opening Of the
session Of Congress which preceded the
close of Mr.. PoLK's administration. At
ter they had been in possession Of Mr..
PoLK's cabinet more than month, their
receipt was acknowledged without the ex-
preston Of the slightest dissent to the pro-
ceedings Of General Mason, acting as
civil governor Of California after the peace.
This was the condition Of affairs when
General TAYLOR was inaugurated; with
this he did not interfere, and for not hav-
ing done so he is denounced as usurper.
The Union's denunciations fall upon Mr..
Polk. The Union cannot afford to pay
more than lip-service to dead benefactor,
whose ashes are desecrated in prosecuting
Bitter-cnd opposition to his successor.
We now proceed TO publish the procla-
nation of General MASON, acting as civil
governor of California, after the peace !;
his letter to the Adjutant General inform
ing. him what he had done under the ext
gencies of his position; proclamation
issued by General RILEY, upon ascertain
ing that Congress had failed to provide a
territorial government for California; and
despatch from this latter officer to the
Adjutant General informing him, amongst
other things, Of what had been done to as
sist the Californians in forming State
convention. These papers are official, and
contain information of interest apart from
their bearing upon the main question at
issue:

10th The district of San joaquin includes all the

between the coast range and the Sierra Nevada.
The method here indicated to attain what is de-
sired by all viz: more perfect political organize
tion is deemed the most direct and safe that can be
adopted, and one fully authorized by law. It is the
course advised by the President and by the Score
tarics of State and of War of the United States,
and il calculated to avoid the innumerable evils
which must necessarily result from any attempt at
illegal local Legislation. It is therefore hoped that
it will meet the appreciation Of the people of Cali
forna and that all good citizens viii unite in car
rying it into execution.

The Union is making the most il can Of
the time which will probably elapse be-
fore the mass Of papers accompanying the
PRESIDENTS message upon the California
question is laid before the world. II evil
IDENTIFY imagines that its misrepresenta-
tons and glazing perversion of their con-
tents will be forgotten by the time they
are printed and that public opinion mean
while will be forestalled, misdirected, and
prejudiced in manner TO make the re-
ception of truth a difficult or doubtful
achievement. II has labored to show that
the statement Of President TAYLOR, that
he !" did not interfere with the powers of
the military commandant, who continued
TO exercise the functions of civil governor
Tin California; as BEFORE" was covert at
tack upon the late administration, and in

permanent, and the proprietor solicits patronage,
under the pledge Of furnishing an article superior
to any now in use.
The patronage and reward of industry is ever
in proportion to the utility of its products. Profit
is the first object in all enterprise; and to secure
this object, superior skill, materials and attention
are required in new establishment, that would
compete successfully with those of long standing
and popularity.
No pains or expense has been spared to secure
these advantages. Ingenious, skillful workmen,
the best material, and the most approved patterns
are employed, and the proprietor designs that the
reputation of his establishment shall be determin-
ed and sustained by the superior quality of his
gins They will be furnished to purchasers at the
most convenient points on the river, above or be-
low the raft, upon terms as reasonable and ac-
commodating, as can be had at any establishment
