The PACIFIC SrATEs.-In alluding to the de-
feat of the Pacific Railroad bill, the Sonora
Herald says;
1t is true that the people Of California are
loyal citizens of and attached TO the Union.
Hailing from every State in the eonfederacy,
with the endearing recollections Of early homes
and dear relatives left behind still fresh in their
memories, none are more devoted to the glory
and pcrpetuation Of the Union than the emf
grants of California. But even the strongest
ties Of affection, and the closest relations of
consanguinity, may be weakened aud severed
by long-continued i'll treatment and neglect ON
the part of one other of the parties interested
The statesmen at Washington, who are in the
habit Of making periodical buncomb speeches
on the Pacific Railroad, should recollect this
ere the occurrence of momentOus circumstance
brings about practical illustration of its truth
An Independent republic of the Pacific ia not sc
improbable thing as some may imagine. May
be it is only question Of time. For, however
much the present population of California may
be attaceed to the Union, in consequence OF old
associations and memories, there can be no
question but the rising generation here will
grow up without feeling that attachment to such
degree as their fathers They will be genuine
Californans in all respects, and not citizens
with divided attachmcnt-their bodies In Cal
ifornla and their hearts in New England, New
York, Missouri or Virginia;--and they will also
grow up without any feeling or regard for the
question of slavery from the fact that it will
be subject entirely foreign to their institu
tions and their interests California, Oregon,
Washington Territory, Nevada, Utah. Arizona,
Sonora and Lower California, have within them
all the elements necessary to constitute great
and powerful Empire aud nothing can avert
the formation of such an indedendent confede-
racy on this coast, but the speedy connection
OF the Atlantic with the Pacific States by rail-
road.

THE MAINE CHIvALRY.

The Democratic members of the Maine Leg
lature recently adopted resolutions, by unan-
imous vote, re-endorsing the Cincinnati Plat
form, and the principles Of Popular Sovereignty
and declared that the people of Territory, the
same as those of State, had an inherent right
to regulate all their domestic institutions
Two papers, the Bangor Union, and the Belfast
Journal, both edited by Federal officers, have
denounced the resolutions, and extracts from
these papers have found their way into the Lee
compton press of California, to show that the
Democracy of Maine are following the anti
Democratic vagares of Mr. Buchanan. As q
still further evidence OF the "soundness'' of the
Maine Democracy, we publish the following ex-
tract from speech by Jethro Kalesead, Esq,

continue fattering, The Indians were
very troublesome, and an expedition to
chastise them was talked of.
Mr.. Mccoy, who left Denver City on
the Oath ult, informs the St. Joseph
Gazette that only eight or ten claims have
yet been discovered that pay. These are
on the Gregory road, the rest being all a
desert. He says that reports of the rich
ness of other claims are absolutely false
and that the miners were leaving in large
numbers. Some three thousand wagons
are now on return trip.
Mr. Mccoy estimates that there are
now about the mines from q 600 to 30
600 persons most of whom are doing
nothing or working for their board. fIe
saws the mines will not support more than
5000 people, and advises everybody to
