DIVISION or CALlroNNIA.-Our readers arc
aware that efforts are making to divide Callior
na into North and South. That the latter will
become Il slave State Immediately upon this dl-
vision, we hold TO be inevitable. Th:t the for.
mer will become Il slave State ultimately, we
have also no question. Slavery will he the
ONLY agent of civilization in that country. \
farmer population will never be found
to increase in region where the mines are
constantly urging this common appetite. Nay,
negro slavery itself, must furnish the most et-
fcrut labor finally, at the mines. The eprcscnt
political necessity for the division is urged by
a portion Of the people of South California
from the following considerations:
That the mining counties of the north con-
tanning the mass of the population Of the State,
pay very small proportion of the taxes
That the burdens of taxation fall upon the
farmers, graziers, and the landholters OF the
south.
That the state is in debt to the extent OF 81,
600 900; that the cities and counties Of the
no thern section are also involved; and that the
prospect is an addition to the exactions npon-
the South,
That they desire to escape the partial and
ruinous legislation Of rash and ignorant polltl-
clans, lundmougers, stock -jobbers, and specu-
lators.
That, from the extent of the surface OF the
State, it will be next to impossible to make
laws of Il general nature which will not be in-
iurious TO the pastoral interests of the northern
counties.
