Contrary 20 the expectations Of al
most every one. and the hopes of q
great many, the FilIibustering party OF
Capt. Walker appears to be completely
successful in Lower California. IL has
received considerable reinforcements
from San Francisco, and there is Ger.
tainly probability now that that Pro-
vince is completely lost 20 the Mexicans

tanned. The Inhabitants seem to be
we'll affected towards the invaders, and
manifest disposition TO support the
new government.
Walker has managed thus far with
decided tact In the conduct Of the
expedition, aud has exhibited many of
the qualities that the successful foun.
ders Of new States possess. Accounts
state that he Is native OF Ohio, and
graduated at Frankfort. Ky, and has
since occupied many stations Of trust
and responsibility. lie has Travelled In
nearly al OF the countries In Europe,
and Is conyersant with most of their
dialects, and is considered by those
who know him intimately to be- man
OF much more than ordinary ialents,.-
Ills leaving San Francisco with band
OF only sixty adventures, 10 conquer
great country, was most remarkable
and audacious proceeding, and carries
the mind back 10 the buccaneering
enterprise Of the fifteenth century, aud
somewhat resembles the Spanish expe-
ditions Of Cortez to Mexico, and Pizarro
10 Peru.
Leayingoutthc questionable morality
Of such expeditions. we do not doubt
that the success Of this one will result
in the amelioralion Of the condition OF
the people in Lower California, and be
a fortunate event for the world. Life
and property will be better protected
under the rule of the American inya-
ders. than they are under the imbccile
and eifcmenate Mexicans. The re-.
sources of the country will be developed
emigration will be invited thithcr. and
another powerful and prosperous State
will arise like magic upon the Pacific
coast. This probable conquest OF
Lower California is but another of the
manifold Indications that have been
developed within the last few years.
that it Is the destiny Of Mexico to be
overrun and conquered by the Ameri-
can race, and eventually annexed TO
this conlcderacy.
AS the Spanish drove out the Aziees
in that country, and established do
minion there, so in their turn will they
be superseded by harder, more en-
terprising and vigorous race--the
Anglo-Saxons, However immoral and
Objectionable may seem the means,
