government are in danger; and not one, but
thousands, will rush to the rescue.
Within the last week, Col Il P. Watkins.
with a battalion Of about three hundred men,
we'll armed, proyisioned and EQUIPPED, sailed
for the New Republic, and will arrive at their
place Of destination about the first Of Janua-
~; and many others are preparing TO go
The enthusiasm in San Francisco. is great the
New Republic, its prospects and its destiny, is
the all absorbing topic Of conversation, and
chat enthusiasm IS rapidly spreading through
out the State, and we predict. that 10y the
opening Of spring thousands of our best and
bravest citizens. will have joined their desti-
ny with the hopes of the Republic
We have a great and abiding faith in tie
great american people: that in their sober
thoughts ther is wisdom and justice, and we
shall not therefore, Withhold our appreciation
Of this movement, because their domestic in
stitutions may be of this or that color, with
their decision in this as in all other matters,
we shall be content with Pope, and say what
ever is, is right"
This is the age OF progress and development,
in the political, as well as in the material
world; men are becoming aroused and instruc-
ted as to their rights, and to the object for
which they were created. The multitude as
pire to govern, as well as to be goyerned for
their power and rights to be Acknowledged.

in short they dare to be free And who shall
crush this spirit whether it seeks to flourish
in China where despotsm has been their in

The earth and its productions were in the

endowed, with his attributes, that he might

his creator and appreciate those things that
are made subseryient to his wants, necessities

from incidence, ignorance or superstition shall
neglect or refuse to carry out this manifest
destiny; when that which is given to them lay

enlightened, have right to come in and take
possession Of the country that the destiny of
all things may be developed

country, hence we say, the expedition is justi-
fed in conquering the country, and in estab-

The spirit of progression and Republicanisln
is the enlightening power of the age, ike the
truthes Of christianity, they have their apos-
ties and their narters, and like those truthes
are destined to become the universal faith of
mankind It's progress is upward and onward
and no power short of Omnipotence can arreft
It's progress.
