To the people Jhe United States:

In declaring the Republic of Lower Ca
lifornia free, sovereign, and independent,
| deem it proper togve the people oftho
United States the reasons for the step |
have taken.
1t is due to the nationality which ha,
most jealously guarded the independence
of the American States to declare why a.
notherre representative is created on the i'm.
mediate confines Of the Union.
The Mexican Government has for q
long time failed to perform its duties to
the province Of Lower California. Cut
off as the territory was, by the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, from all direct com.
municaton with the rest OF Mexico. the
central authorities have manifested little
Or no interest in the affairs of the Cali
Eornia peninsula, The geographical po-
sition oftho province is such as to make
it certainly separate and distinct in its
interest from the other portion ofthe Mex.
lean Republic. But the moral and so.
cial ties which bound it to Mexico havo
been even weaker and more deplorablo
than the physical. Hence, to developo
all the resources of Lower California,
and to effect proper social organization
therein, it was necessary to make it indie
pendent. The mineral and pastoral wealth
of flower California; is naturally very greats
but to properly develope it, there must
be good Government and sure protection
to labor and property. Mexico is una,
bic to furnish these requisites for tho
growth and prosperity Of the peninsula.
The territory, under Mexican rule, would
forever remain wild, half savage, and
uncultivated, covered with an indolent
and balfcivilizcd people desirous ofkecp-
ing all foreigners from entering tue limits
Of the State.
When the people ola territory fail al
most entirely to developc the resources
that nature has placed at their command,
the interest Of civilization requires Others
to 60 in and possess the land. They can
not, nor should they be allowed to play
the "dog in the manger," and keep 9TH
ers from possessing what they have fail.
cd to occupy and appropriate,
Mexico has not performed any of tho
ordinary duties of Government towards
the people of Lower California. She has
established no sure and ready means of
communication forthepeople among them
or the rest Of the world, nor has she ev-
er undertaken to protect them from the
wandering robbers who infest the terri
tory. Thus abandoning the peninsula,
and leaving it as it was, a "waifon the
the waters" Mexico cannot complain
if Others take it and make it valuable.
On such considerations have | and my
companions in arms acted in the course
we have pursued. And for the success
ofouf enterprise, we put our trust in Him.

OBSERVANCE OF THE SADDATH-In another col
umn will be found the proceedings Of meeting of
the citizens Of Cooma to take into consideration
the propricty of adopting measures for the better
observance Of the Sabbath. This object is au.i-
able one and VIC hope to see other places in our
county take some action on the subject. Cold
Springs has taken the lead in this much needed re-
form, and Coloma has followed closely in her wake
That there is every motive, both physical and moral
to induce the Observance of one day in scven needs
no laborcd argument. The non-observancc Of the
Sabbath has been prolific Of much evil to the people
of Calitorni&. If those engaged in business would
close their places on the Sabbath, and refuse to
trade on that day, it would cause healthy tone to
pervade society, and they would be amply repaid,
in time for the seeming loss which might at first
accrue to them. 1t is Of but little use for the man
Of (od to talk of the prccepts Of Heaven, so long as
our citi2cnsthc people Of the country neglect to
obey one Of Tie great laws of Nature and refuse to
abide 'y its precepts. We hope our business mep
will sustain the cfyrts making by cur citizens
in the cause Of moral reform, and we should be clad
to sec the example ;Aus set fully sustained through
out the county.

DUEE.LES{t.

California has been noted for the frequency of
her duels, and the bloody termination of manv
of them. This is perhaps owing to the hazardous
employment Of a great majority Of her citizens
which causes Il recklcssnesS amounting almost to
insanity 1t is true the population Of this State is
made up from almost every nation en- the face of the
earth, many of them embttered by misfortune and
sourcd by disappointment, acting from impulse and
without due consideration, become cmhroled with
Their fellows and strive to take their lives ins af
fairs OF honor doubtless thinking that by so doing
they will render themselves illustrious, and their
names be handed down to posterty among the tai
entcd and good. The man who under cover strikes
down his neighbour occupies no more unonviable
position in the minds Of moral men, than he who
kills his man in an affair of honor" The crime is
the samc-it is murder-cold boodcd, promcditated
murder, and no whitewashing from yasclating
courts and juries can obliteate it, In most cases
duels originate in craven spirits whose cowardice
alone prevents the assassination of the victim of
their hatred; not that they would hesitate so to do
were they sure they could escape exposure or 90
unwhipped Of justice. The same spirit that actu-
ates The assassin finds conrenial Judgment in the
bosom Of the duest. Both are cowards-- both
viporS We speak as we feel on this sulject-bittcr
No man has right to become cmbroiled in quar-
rel for the sake Of forcing his opponent into an hon
orabe' murder, or fall beneath his own assassin
hand We hold man owes allegiance to society
and has no moral right to become an assassin, or
force another to do SO. Nature humanity, right
and justice forbid it. The crime is revolving to
honorable minds.

ed to make its nominations leaving the RESPONSE
blty Of division where it naturally belongs, on
the bolter faction.
That it was the intention of this faction to distract
and divide the party is clearly proved from the fact
of teir nominating candidates in opposition to the
present incumbents whose Democratic integrity
cannot for moment be questioned. Messrs La
than and McDougall have never been identified
with either wing of the party, and have been faith
ful in the discharge of their Congressional duties
The factionists who oppose them cannot plead ig-
norance Of the intent of the Democratic party to
put them in nomination; neither can they claim
that those gentlemen were cxceptonable to the
masses OF the people. As deep as the crowd of dis
organizers are sunk in intamy they know that the
gentlemen named are locked upon by the people as
peculiarly fitted for the station they occupy, and
that they add luStre tr the councils of the nation
We say the factionists know this yet they wanted
material more plant to the uses they intend to put
it, than those men can be made; hence the putting
forward of Nessrs Herbert and Denver for the
purpose of overthrowing the Democratic party.
The Democracy of the State can see in the action
of the wings Of the party, the true feeling which
pervadcs them. The old line anxious to heal up all
differences which might exist. selected men who
had not been identified in the feuis which have
sprung up among us, and thereby extended the
olive branch to those who had wandered from the
Democratic fold. This offer for harmony was scorn-
ed by the factoniss, and every effort at reconcilia
ton rejected with contumely.
This being the true position of affairs the issue
is made up and presented to the people--thc Demo-
cratic people of the State TO decide whether they
will sanction bolterism for the purpose of sustaining
a set Of men who have been striving to despoil the
State Of her inheIitancc or rcbuke them for their
insolence by sustaining the true Democracy in
their attempts to purify the party from the inau-
ences which have hitherto surrounded it.

II TIE AGGREGATE.--The politician and Office
holder in this country. and in fact everywhere else
has been looked up to being superior to the COM
mon run ofmortals until they have become to think
themselves manufactured from better material than
the lahoring man. 1t may be they are; but we
have vt to learn that political drones and huck-
stcring seekers after Office confer greater benefit
on community than the butcher or baker or do
more for the comfort of the people than does he of
the water cart. We have no very great love for
professional Office seekers neither do we highly
prize the integrity or morality of those who strive
TO be the hereditary recipients Of every crumb upon
the political waters Politics here, have become
too much Of trade, and men Of ofdesperate fortunes
embark in it for the sake Of living of the public
without labor. 1t is time change should take
place in the political arena and men be taught that
some other quality is requisite for prcferment, than
plancy to the will of corrupt iactioniss

be carefully attended 10, as we'll as the strctcst
care to the deposit of ashes should be Observed
Cigar smokers, too should be careful about throw
ing their unextinguished "stumps' in places where
there is the least chance for ignition No one can
observe too much care and all our citizens know
the chances they have to extinguish fire are
small, when it is once commenced

CIothing store.--KEYEs Co., Sacramento.


While at the city last week, we made visit to
the Clothing Establishment of Keyes & Co., on the
corner of J and Cd streets, and was much pleased
in cxaning the choice stock of goods and clothing
they have on hand. Besides being extensive, they
have the very best of every kind of articles in their
line which includes nearly or quite every thing
used by gentlemen in their toilet, and for aught we
know to the contrary, by the ladies' too. This es-
tabli>hment is in the old Ell Dorado building--so
famous in the days when gambling was in vogue
and presents pleasing contrast with the scenes
which struck the beholder some two years since
when monte and faro were triumphant there In
stead of the riot and gaming, where men lost their
all at hazard, the room is turned into respectable
establishment where the human form divine" is
clad in the fashionable habments of the dav.-
We would advise our friends visiting the city to
make purchases, to call on Keyes & Co., confident
they will find such articles as they need, ut such
prices as will make it an object.
