The United States and Mexico.

Ere long, we presume, We shall hear what
Congress has to say in regard to the recon
merdation of the President touching Mexican
affairs. Our relations with that countrydemand
prompt action on our part--and for such ac
ton there can be no time, perhaps, more op
perfume than the present With the Liberal
Government Of Mexico the American Minis
ter has negotiated an important treaty when
comedies TO us all that we could reasonably
expect. Among other things, it gives to our
Government the right, with or without the
consent or co operation of Mexico, to protect
by force of arms if necessary, all our interests
acquired in that country by said treaty. This
is an important concession. Without it, the
treaty would have been deemed by our Gov
eminent incomplete, and perhaps worthless,
The Liberal Government by cOnceding as
much, has made virtue ofnecessity. While
stable Government would have scorned to
grant any such privilege, party Govern
ment struggling to maintain an uncertain
| lease of life, has opened its doors to the SOL
diery of powerful and ambitious govern
ment. President Buchanan would send an
armed force into Mexico, to protect our rights
there and occupy the country, Although he
says nothing about the establishment OF
Protectorate there, the policy which he adj
vocates points to that result. He believes
that in this matter the consent and aid OF the
| - Oh
is not at all unlikely. 1t is evident that that
| Government looks to the United States for
aid against the party of the Church. The
treaty itself is an evidence of this fact. BY
granting to us important commercial inter
ests in that country, and the right to defend
those interests by American arms, the Liberal
Government makes us her ally. That Gov
eminent cannot violate the treaty without
turning our arms against itself. II is by the
Church party that our interests guaranteed
by the treaty will be opposed and whenever
American troops are sent there to protect
those interests, they will strengthen the Lib
eral Government by acting against its foes.
Let our troops once have occasion to COM
mence fight with the Church party for the
protection of American rights, and the fight
will not cease until that party has entirely
succumbed. The Liberal party will in the
mean time grow in strength, and will ulti
mately be firmly established. Juarez has
sugacty enough to see that the sending of
American troops into Mexico according to
treaty stipulations, will, in proportion as it
breaks down the power of the Church,
strengthen his own government If the
Liberal Government is willing that we should
send an army of occupation into that coun.
try, we can not see why it might not be done
By so doing we will establish permanent
Liberal Government there protect our com
mercial interests and the lives of our citizens,
and do away with the anarchy and confusion
existing there. We await with interest to
know what action Congress will take in re-
gard to President Buchanan's recommends
ton concerning Mexican affairs.

Mr.. Fairchild, Of Ell Dorado, has given no
tice in the Assembly of his intention to intro
duce billrequiring spiritual mediums and lee
turers to pay license into the State Treasury
the same to go into the fund for supporting the
Insane Asylum. A very fit subject for domi-
ciliation in the last named locality, is the
man who would seriously contemplate the
enactment of any such law. These lecturers
and mediums are no more than the propaga-
tors of a new faith. Whether it be ON erro-
neous one or a true one, it does not signify
The Constitution of the country forbids any
legislation whatever on the subject of reli-
gion. This is the land of free speech and
inquiry, and the legislator who would inter
fere with either is wrongly located in the
American Union. He ought to do homage
to some foreign despot
1t may be that we do not correctly under
stand Mr. Fairchild's object. 1t may be that
he merely wishes to tax those mediums who
give public exhibitions for money, like show.
men and jugglers, and those lecturers who
travel around with such mediums as a part
of the show. Even then, we think it would
be exceedingly intolerant; but, if the purpose
be to crush out spiritualism by the weight of
legal authority, the motive is the narrowest
and the policy the shallowest that ever en-
tered into the head of man claiming to have
ordinary reason. 1t originates in the same
kind of bigotry which would make Protest
ant persecute a Catholic or a Presbyterian q
Baptist. The Spiritualsts are Just as much en-.
titled to their notions as any one else and lust
as much entitled to give them utterance. As
to Insane Asylums being considerably stocked
with patients who have become insane from
SpiTitualism, it is equally true that many pa
tents are sent to those institutions who have
become insane from an enthusiastic belief in
the various evangelical religions of the dav
We are no advocate of Spiritualism, but we
are of the opinion that not nearly so many
persons go crazy on account of Spiritualism
as are set down so. Other causes have one-
rated to produce their insanity, and the sim
pie fact that they were believers in the spirit
doctrines was sufficient to convince people
that Spiritualism, and nothing else. was the
cause
But, be this as it may, let us have no such
insanity as legislation against "the spirits"

preceding Such weather, too, in the mid.
die of the winter How strange it would
seem to the dwellers in the same latitude on
the shores of the other Ocean A more beau.
tiful day than yesterday we never saw,-in
any other country than this,-even in the
balmy time of Spring. The sky bent low
ingly down as if it would embrace the smil-
ing earth in its warm and sunny clasp. The
sun shone forth with such gladness that even
the cold peaks of the distant snow.white
mountains laughed in his beams. Each living
thing rejoiced, from the soaring bird, now
seen now lost in the blue empyrean, to the
plodding denizen of the lower sphere who
envied him his wing. The very earth seemed
to bound in her course with exhilerated
strength, and to heave with the throb of an
unuttered joy.
How blessed are we who live in such
cline With whom the advent of the wintrv
clouds is but the precursor of the rich green
of the valleys and the hills with whom no
days are SO dark and dreary but they shall
be followed by others as bright and beautiful
as the eden-days of old. With us, the Sea-
sons scarcely have their limits. While it i:
Winter, we shall see the rosy check of Spring
as she comes laden with her flowers. and
when we think that Summer is gone, we shall
find her, in some sunny noon, resting her fair
head. rich with its golden ringlets, in the
pleasant lap of Autumn.
Who would not be satisfied to live and die

Small Farms the Best.

The subject of agriculture is more and
more engaging the attention OF the people
Of California every year. The State Agri
cultural Society has done much to direct the
public mind in this channel, but the county
and district agricultural societies have done
more. These latter are well organized and
established, and are throwing much light
upon the general science of cultivating the
ground. The most of our farmers are follow.
ing, in their avocation, the ascertained meth.
DDS of producing the largest crops from the
varied and peculiar soils of the mountains
and the valleys of California. Science teaches
them how to irrigate dry regions or to leave
to their native moisture those regions which
do not need it, how to pillow deep for the
subsoil, when such soil is needed; how to
economist time and money by the appliances
of machinery how to increase fertility by
the natural resources Of the farm, and how
in short to do all those things which the ig-
norant and unlettered farmer knows nothing
about.
country in the world which can produce
more abundantly than this, whether it be
fruit, cereal. or vegetable. And it is o very
easy matter to obtain, either from reading
or observation, the necessary information
upon the methods to be pursued.
We cannot too much, we think, inculcate
the important truth, that small farms, prop.
erly cultivated, are the best sources of wealth
in the business of agriculture. a man who
will locate upon his ten or twenty acres OF
ground, cultivate it properly, and do his
own work, with such assistance as he is
legitimately able to procure, will far sooner
realize an independence or a fortune than he
who spends all that he is worth on large
ranch, and then spends all that he can make
off it in paying the hands who cultivate and
! improve it. How many hundreds of little
ranches and vineyards and orchards can we
not point to, in this State already, whose
owners are now rich or becoming so 1t is
the small farmers who are doing WELL Sure,
there are large landholders who make money
by the sale of their lands or their rental,
but we are speaking of men who buy large
farms, with the view of cultivating the
ground upon grand and extensive scale
They overlap the mark in nine cases out of
ten and the small farmer, the owner of ten,
twenty or fifty acres of ground, grows rich
and happy, while they are mOrtgaged, en-
cumhered and sold mt
There are thousands of little valleys in the
mountains; thousands of fertile spots on the
margins of rivers and lakes; thousands of
small but fertile patches of ground to be
bought of grant holders, if not to be found
in the limits of the public lands, upon which
pleasant homes may be built, families reared
and fortunes acquired. Indeed it is sur
prising, in travelling over the country, to see
SO many such spots uninhabited. The great
error of thousands of that class of persons
who expect to live by the cultivation of
the earth, is in their idea that they must
have huge tract of land upon which to
begin. Let them locate upon small farms,
ane work industriously, and we warrant
that they will bless the day that they began
this course of conduct.
