80" ie6's'oe'on III Auo 1AouSo upon inc claim
of the State OF California for her expenses j,
defending her citizens from hostile Indians
We have to express the hope that the final dis
position OF this matter will be no longer de-
.ayed. The General Government was bound
oy every possible consideration TO have &C
corded tho defence which she failed to accord
There can be no question Of this fact. i
California aras thus forced to incur expenses
responsibility for them 90 the part of the Gen
efal Government can be neither wisely no,
honorably avoided. The history of the leeis.
lation Of Congress, with reference to Califor.
nia, is but record Of indecision, hesitation
and mistrust, as melancholy as remarkable,
considering the age in which We live, and the
immense interests which the rest Of the Union
have in connection with the preservation and
improvement Of our present national foothold
On the Pacific side. That man must have read
history to little purpose, indeed, who calculates
that being systematically neglected, as it were,
our relatives and friends now on that side, NAV
not be relied on-and that ere many years
slapee-to seek to shift for themselves. Up to
this time Congress has seemed to have treated
them a. being with US, but not Of US. This
dangerous experiment must shortly be brought
to IN end, or the public interest cannot fail to
pay for It, in substantial losses, costing ten fold
az much to the people Of the rest of the Union,
Is would result. in the exercise Of prompt and
Efficient legislation for California from thi,
time hsnceforth. - ~
