President Walker. fiIlibu>tero 81 the re
public Of Soath California, has issued a
grave aud dignih9d manifesto to the people
Of the L. States exculpatory OF his conduct.
How long is this pirate and outlaw to be
permitted by ous government to mGintoln
the supremacy which b. stratagem lie las
acquired over weak and defeneelcss peo-
pie! As yet we STE no attempt made TO
bring the felon to justice. II such lawless
proceedings are to be sanctioned BY our gov

saults upon our neighbors, how long will
the purity Of our government be sustained.
We hope soon TO observe an effort made in
the right quarter to bring this marauder to
speedy and condgn punishment.
