FROM THE ALTA CALIFORNIAN OF DECEMBER /.

The Sonora hbusering expedition which left this port
III the Caroline IS foryye days out and it is time
that should hear from it, That vessel left this port
on the morning Of the 18th OF October The distance TO
Guaymas is about fifteen hundred miles, mud good saier
such rs the Caroline is said to be- should make the pas
sage in fifteen days. The United States transport Gen
Patterson arrived at San Diego the 18th umo from
Guaymas and nothing had been heard of the libusters
when she left The San Diego paper does not give the
date OF her leaving Guaymas but il probably about
the 9th. The expedition il viii be remembered was
composed Of about two hundred men We presume that
they will land without any difficulty and take Guaymas
and Hermosilo with very little trouble After that how
ever their progress will be uncertain and will depend
upon circumstances.
If they should succeed in getting possession Of all the
principal towns it is to be presumed that Sonora win lie
forever independent Of Mexico All Of the foreigners
will side with the INVADERS and many Of the natives and
parties will go from this State to aid 1t is not likely
that Mexico will send any formidable army into the field
IL is reported that Gen Tacon is on the march with
two thousand men, but the Mexican papers say nothing
OF it, and 1t very doubtful To send troops from the
city OF Mexico will require two months Santa Anna will
OF course not leave the capital and of his generals
will be very anxious to fight the Americans
Should the expedition finally succeed il might be a
magnificent speculation for the flbusers though the
majority Of them will know how to profit by their adj
vanagcs II said they be paid for their services
with the Government land We have before us Sonora
bond issued on the lst Of May last. 1t reads thus
[S5O0l INDEPENDENCE LOAN [Sj0o.1
The Independence Loan Fund has received OF -- the
sum OF S5OO and the Republic Of Sonora will Issue TO him

located on the public domain Of said Republic Signed this

Will it be believed that Conventions which
adopted such entirely different cxpostons of their
principles, nominated precisely the same men as
their candidates to support their principles? Such
is nevertheless fact; and fact not less remarka.
BILE is that the Boston Post" looking exclusively
to the interests Of its party supported this collusve
policy and abored for its success in the face Of its
own indignant condemnation Of it, as above quoted.
That article it has been somewhere insnuated, with
all its ostentatious display Of patriotic enthusiasm
was put forth merely to influence the Southern
elections, the time for holding which being near at
hand But, whether this were 50 or not, it docs
not affect the truhfulness Of the portrait which the
Post has drawn OF the two parties composing the
Coalition.
We place the above statement in our columns
simply as cbronicers, to record facts belonging to
the political history Of the day, rather than with
any view now to cast reproach on defeated unna-
tural Coalition.
