The San Diego Herald Of the Sd instant publishes the
following address of President Walker, dsted Nov 9o
ITO the PhcrLE OF the osIrEp SITES s In a9car
independet deem it proper to give the people of the
United States the reasons for the step have taken
cit Is due to the nationality which has most jealousy
Guarded the of the American States to de-
clare why another representative Is created on the mme
diate confines Of the Union
TO perform IL duties the Province OF Lower California
Cut off, tie territory was by the Treaty OF Guadalupe
Uidalgo from all direct communication with the rest OF
Mexico the central authorities have manifested little or
interest in the sflairs of the California peninsula.
1.-The geographical position OF the IfONlnCes Is suOh a.
10 make Il certainly arae and distinct IN It's interest
from the other portion Of the Mexican Republic Bat the
moral and social ties which bound TO Mexico have been
even weaker and more deporable than the physical
Hence TO develop the resources of Lower California
and TO effect proper social organization therein It was
necessary TO make it independent . ~
sTbe mineral and pastoral wealth of Lower Caornais
naturally very great but to properly develop H. mere
must be good government ana sure P'o'econ W iao0i
"bIexico Is unable to furnish these requisites for the
Growth and prosperity of the peninsula.
The Territory under Mexican rule would forever re-
main wild half savage and uncultyated covered with an
ndoen and half civilized people desrous Of keeping I'll
foreigners from entering the limits OF the state
when the people of Territory fail almost entirely 10
deyeop the that nature has placed at their
mand the interest of civilization requires others 10 20 N
and possess the land. H., l.. -, A.
tbey cannot nor should they be allowed to play the
Dog in the Manager, and keep others from possessing
what they have failed to occupy and appropriate -.
Mexico has not performed any OF the ordinary duhes
of government toward the people OF Lower Caliofh.1
She has established sure and ready means Oh eon
uncstion for the people among them and the rest OF the
world nor has she undertaken 70 project 'heni HUN
the wandering robbers who infest the territory .
Jbus shapdonine the peninsula and leaving II as II
wos vaf on the water, Mexico cannot complain II
others take il and make it valuable.
On such considerations have and my companions IN
arms acted in the course we have pursued
And for the success of enterprise We put our trust
in Him who controls the denies OF nations ana guides
them in The ways of Improvement and progress:
