True Interests OF California.


There IL no reasonable doubt but the pres
ent questions agitating Congress will have
the effect to materially advance the true
interests Of California. Four prominent
questions, now before that body, are directly
advancing the interests of our State. Two
OF these questions cannot now be ignored by
the Federal authorities, and these two car
ry with them the necessity for the third
and the fourth must follow the third Just as
naturally as follows in numerals. No.
l and 2, are the Utah and Nicaragua ques.
tions-to the settlement of which the FEEDER
al government is irrevocably pledged, and
will surely and speedily redeem such
pledges The treaty with Nicaragua re.
quires that our government should prevent
any further invasion Of that country by
armed piratical bands of Fillibusters, and
the pledged faith Of the nation will be kept,
notwithstanding the denunciations heaped
upon the administration, by few southern
bfafherskites, and the feeble assistance rem.
dered them by the Sacramento State Jour-
nal. The measures already taken to adjust
the difficulties in Utah. will be vigorously
prosecuted to q successful termination -
This will open rival routes for emigrants to
California, both of which have been closed
during the past year. The arrest of Gen,
Walker on the soil of Nicaragua is no suffl.
Gent reason for opposing the Presidents en- :.
beavers to carry out'the neutrality laws and
the provisions of friendly treaties. 1t was
not without precedent. That glorious old
southerner, who scorned the acquisition of q
sectional reputation-Gen. Andrew Jackson
not only arrested the Fillibusters Am.
brister and Arbuthnot, on neutral territory,
but actually hung the adventurcrs. and was
sustained by Monroe's administration, and
by Congress. Mr.. Buchanan's position on
the Nicaragua question is all right, and will
be sustained.
The third measure is that introduced into
the Senate Mr.. Broderick, providing for the
theEmediate establishment of military posts
every hundred miles on the emigrant route
across the plains, with a view to protect emf
grants, settlers and the magnetic telegraph
which will doubtless soon be authorized
The military posts once established, and a
correct knowledge of the whole country
could DO readily obtained. The Pacific
railroad would naturally follow these three
measures. They would demonstrate its ne
cessity and importance Those who would
not make the interests Of California second
to the fancied intetests Of an uproarous por-
ton Of the Atlantic States, will sustain the
Presidents policy concerning them, and
thus aid in opening broad aud intermina-
bio view Of prosperity to the future Of the
Golden State.

senator Toombs and the Forty
Preachera

Senator Toombs, Of Georgia, has spoken
in oppoeition to the President concerning
Billy Walkers affairs. His TRADE exceeds
in abuse and vituperation the charges made
by the forty Abolitionists of Connecticut
Speaking Of Mr.. Buchanan's use of the ma
w to arrest Walker, Mr.. Toombs delivers
himself as follows; "What right has the
President to use the army and navy all over
the face Of the earth This was usuypation
Of authority, not only in dsrogation of law,
but in derogation of his oath of Office
This is almost the precise language employed
by the forty Abolition preachers in their
naemorium to the President. and should
consign Mr.. Toombs to like ignominious
contempt. 1t shows that one crazy southern
disunion fire-eater, contains all the conoen-
trated malignity and infamy of forty abo-
litionists Such fanatical sectionalism de-
serves the universal reprobation of the De.
mocracy. We must be permitted TO believe
that Mr. Toombs does not reflect the senti-
ments of the people of the State he repre-
sents. Hon. Howell Cobb has heretofore
CALAMITY sustained the Union flag in the
patriotic State of Georgia, and now sustains
the position Of the President. This kind Of
talk will not be without beneficial effect
1t will show Mr.. Buchanan who are the true
friends Of his administration, and that it il
better to have the support Of the firm adhe
rents to principles.than of pretended friends
who seek the occasion of what should be on.
ly q "Coarteous difference of opinion" tc
accuse the Executive of the nation of having
violated his oath of office. Mr. Toombs is 9
valuable acquisition to the canting hypo
critics of Connecticut.

ard' that seven persons were confined in
the Jail of that town under indictments
for murder. One of them was tried last
week, but the jury failed to agree, and he
was, of course, remauded to Jail until the

Wilson on the 9th oflast May, killing him
on the spot.
There was no dispute about the facts.
The only question being on the prisoners IS
plea of insanity. A bevy of Doctors was
called in, and, rs usual, one-half of them
swore keenan, was crazy, and the other
half swore he was not. Part of'the jury,
it seems, believed one set of Doctors, and
part the other, and SO agreed to disagree
like these mighty men of science.

Has the most fragrant abolitionist ever sug-

often served to uphold the wavering faith
