VOICE OF WARNING The following
word of warning which we find in letter of
James Wilson, formerly member of Con-
gress from New Hampshire, now of Cali
fornla, may prove sword in season" to
some Of the many hundreds who are pre-
pared 10 embark for California in quest OF
gold. The letter is dated Dec 4, 1851, and
says:
"We have rich and productive soil,
easily worked, and good marKet for every
kind of vegetable. If people would come
to California with anything like reasonable
hopes and expectations; if they would bring
with them habits ofindustry, economy, per-
severance; if they would steadily apply
themselves to farm labor, and be satisfied
with reasonable returns, in due season they
would not fail of success, But they do not
and will not come here with any such
views. If they had some little sense when
they left home, il is all gone when they get
TO California. The glitter of gold bewiIders
them, and nothing but desperate adyen-
ture for a fortune will satisfy them.
Your Eastern people have entirely enron
co.'s opinions about California. The com.
mon idea is, that il a person can only get to
California he has nothing to do but TO scrape
up the gold by the shoyelfull until he salts
fes all the cravings Of svarice. The adven-
turer for California starts with this opinion
his mind is rail- absorbed in thoughts of
linen jackets, buckskin bags and close
purses 20 hold his gold--he is anxiousIy
coniriyipg how TO pack, keep, and safely
transport his yellow dust. His beautiful re-
yerie is never for moment disturbed by
doubt of his getting il.

MIR. Clay's Opinion ON Intervention.

The Atlas ofyesterday published what purports
to be correct edition of the speech of Mr. CLAY,
on non intervention, at his interview with Kos
suth. The corrected speech does not differ mate
rally from that originally published. The Ian
guage may DE more polished, but there is no mod
itcatlon of ideas. The "great statesman opposes
intervention, chiefly upon the ground that the pol
icy of our government has been pacific and neutral
from its origin; and for the reason that he had
always been in favor of this neutral policy.
1t seems TO US that Mr.. CIay's declarations to
the Hungarian chief are not very tenable His
tory, which does not shift its positions so quickly
as politicians do, apparently coniradcts the elo-
quent Kehtuckian, in relation 10 these facts.
When Mexico and the South American Repub-
lies declared themselves independent of Spain,
and fears were entertained that other European
powers would assist in the subiugaton of the new
States, the President, Mr. Monroe, in 1928, de-
clared in his Annual Message to Congress, that,
We could not view any nterposition, for the
purpose OF expressing them or controlling in any
other manner, their destiny, by an European
power, IN any other light than as a manifestation
of unfriendly disposition towards the United
States.''
1t this was not pretty significant lnmaton
that we would intervene between the 'sHoly ALI
ance' of despots, and the revoted Spanish prov
inces, if the former should dare to attack the lat
ter, we really are a los, to know what it does
mean.
But in confirmation of this disposition of the
United States to intervene, we quote the instruc-
tons of Mr. Clay, when Secretary of State, TO the
United States Commissioners to the Congress of
Panama.
cit is required by the frank and friendly rela-
tons which we most anxousy desire ever to
cherish with the new Republics, that you should.
without reserve, explicitly state, that the United
States have too much at stake in the fortunes of
Cuba, to allow them to see with indifference a
war of invasion prosecuted in desolating man
ner, or to see employed in the purposes of such
war, one of the inhabitants combating
against another, upon principles and with motives
that must inevitably lead if not to the extermina-
ton of one party the other, to the most shock
ing excesses.
This is neither the language of neutrality nor
peace. 1t is the language of dictation and force,
and Mr.. Clay meant it as such at the time; but
politicians change and this mutation is the strong
est reason we can perceive for Mr.. Clay's present
contradiction of his old intervention principles.
