aEW REPUBLICi
We herald this morning as we heralled in yei'er.
DAYS evening edition. the striking fact that Jew re-
public had sprung into existence this continent with
al its parapheInalia Of President Cabinet officers,
Military and Naval bureaus. commanders by sea and
land, ct cetera, ct cetera.
Pause. reader for an instant to gaze upon this i'm
Droyzaon of new and (i it should live long enough
immortal nation and people 1t has sprung into being
in betting manner. The country it has chosen Isl
volcanic tongue on the Pacific, at remote period
interiected above the sea by great and sudden cen
yulsion of nature The Republic now established
thereon has not less suddenly sprung into existence
Yesterday it was not to-day it is Behold its govern
mert and its people Mark their meteOric and tri-
umphant career Observe their first incursion-note
their feats of arms their victories the overthrow Of
the old and the installation of the dynasty See
how promptly and easily the power swings upon
its hinges
Our readers will understand we are speaking of the
new Republic Of Lower California We usher it be-
fore the world with flush of patriotic pride and ad-
miraon that we essay in vain to express. What other
lard can exhibit the spectacle or the historic record
Of having extemporzed new nation in an hour and
halt by tie clock with precisely forty-tye men, all
told Ii is clear case that we are never to have
any difficulties on this continent about the balance
" of power" such as are now convulsing all Europe.
Ii we should ever need new powers and new nations,
vherewith TO adjust or maintain the political equib-
rum it is plain to be that we have the sbility
10 je1k them into existence by the nape Of the neck
as fast as any kind Of revolution spirit of aggression
could possibly require This is manifest from the case
before us. Fortyfyc vaorous citizens with carb;nes in
hand and we dare say canteons Of whisky 10 match,
have precpatcd themselves from the skies as It were,
and have created new power in the world Thatths
is done is clean from tie fact that unlike the China
rebels whose efforts may fail for want OF a recognized
cLief) new Government unanimously chosen from
and by tie people now holding that extensive country
already sways its protecting msis over the California
Peninsula.
We have The authentic and authoritative announce
ment tLst its officers arc appointed, as follows;
WH WiLEER Prss't Of Reprh. Of Lower California.

What an astounding revelation Of the infinite posi-
Lites Of Yankecdom is here manifested new
republic has been spoken into being in just ninety min
ues and it stands before tie universe with ali It's
arrangements coTplote, CONSISTING Of precisely one
President tgce cabinet officers age maT! and three
naval commanders, and thirytAree citizens, all in
fine health and spirits"
Further than this, we informed that this Govern
ment is formed upon sure and firm basis The
Code Napoleon has been adopted for the rule OF de-
cision in the Courts aud as The civil law Of the land
capital has been founded, and the seat OF Govern
ment established. Tie record we publish shows that
the infant Republic La' already won one pro5igous
victory on tie Ian I'D come oil cOnquerors in
tlreateDed cngagcn at sea So inyincible is lis
proves that not had, at the last accounts, been
killed or wounded throughout its whole career. The
eat battle of La Paz and the inchOae naval engage
merit Of Cape St Lucas are regarded as having
crowned all these efforts with a that will com
nind the instant recognition Of al existing powers in
GLIDING the Emperor Napoleon and King Kameham-
cha.
The account Of the subsequent proceedings of this
new nation will be full of intense interest. We pre-
sumo tlat in addition to the appointment of the
bers Of the Cabinet ard the filling of the Military and
Naval Departments we shall have lists Of tho
diplomatic corps doubtless to be al dressed in SOule
coats foreign Consuls, Judges of the Courts andso
forth If We do not, it viii be undoubtedly owing 70
The fact that emigrants in slowly and that there
are rot, consequently, people enough to I'll those
places
We shall anxiously await the progress Of Affairs
The first assembling Of the Congress Of the new Re-
public will be observed with breathless attention
Immense socitude viii be particularly felt, not only
in our own but in all the great money circles Of the
world, in regard TO the financial statement OF Pres
dent Walkers Government. The name of Walker is
a most fortunate for all great money operations
and we hope for the sake Of republication in general,
and the Republic in particular that bis Exceliency
VIM Walker is blood relation of the Elk Hon Robert
j. The Report of the Secretary Of the Navy wiz also
be looked for with almost equal interest. Doubtless
It viii be yoluminous for Lower California is pre-
eminently maritime State, being nearly surrounded
by water 1t particularly bebooves Us to selulously
scrutinize everything which looks like a successful
naval rivalry in the waters of the Pacific.

TEMPERANCE ~ yERMONT.
Il is known that the Vermont Leg slaure OF last year
passed very stringent act Of Liquor Prohibition and
that said act was submitted 70 the People at special
election held last winter and then ratified by about

negative vote preponderated and each township,
