sistiblc causes that would lead to annexa-
tion to the United States. It's q thing
we can't hclp--so inviting, so rich, so
discovered from the rest Of Mexico by the
great Gulf of California-that we must
have Il whether we will or no! II ispain-
fuI to a conscientious nation to be forced
in this way TO appropriate what belongs to
a neighbor! But since it can't be avoided,
we must yield to fate with our well-known
Christian resignation!
Whenever an attempt is made to colo
nize Lower California by American capl-
talsts, and those sent thither under their
auspices, we are of opinion that that I'M
mense territory passes away from Mexico,
and will become part of our possessions
on the Pacific. If war comes OF I'VE ne
lievc the United States will be involved
that the Government will undertake to pro-
tcct the colonists as deriving their claim
from the only Mexican Govcrnment--'lla'
of JrARrZ-which it now recognizes. Ill
short, in view of the Importance OF the
great California Peninsula to the power
and greatness of the Federal Government
to which now everything, even the happl-
ness of the people, must he subordinate
whenever citizens of the United States gc'
a foothold there, its status is fixed. The
"colonists" in that event will not be LETT
to the fate of WALKER in Nicaragua. Ihey
will be as much beyond the reach OF a writ
Of eicctmcnt as a colony of Norway rats.

The Coving ton and Ohio Railroad.

The Commissioners who had charge OF
the disposal of this great work have re-
turned. They appear to be well satisfied
with the arrangement made and entertain
no doubt of the rapid completion of the
road after the company commences work
upon it.
The contract, however, was not signed,
and is therefore not yet complete. The
company asked three months time before
signing. 1t was understood that this in
diligence was desired chiefly on the score
of the threatening condition of continental
politics. The company feared a war be-
tween Austria and Prussia, the effect OF
which on the finances of this country could
not exactly be foreseen-it might be lnlu-
rious, it might be beneficial it might in
duce foreigners to invest in our securities,
it might prompt them to seek other sccu-
rites, and even dispose of the Federal
stocks now in their possession. Three
months would relieve the subject ofunccr-
tainty, and warrant them in coming TO a
decision.
Nevertheless, the tenor of conversation
with them was such as to assure the COM
missioners that, in the absence of any I'M
toward event, the company will proceed
with the work. 1t is thought probable
that they will come to determination be-
fore the expiration of the three months.
The intercourse with the company was
frank, and their views were fully developed.
They propose to build the road in the
best possible style, using the steel rail in
stead of the iron; which, while it costs
only double, it is said will last very many
times longer than iron. They are CAPT
talists who can control any amount of CAPT
tai that may be needed for this great work.
