The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1870-04-20

Legation in Washionton, IN May,
1866, and was formally ratified BY
President Juarez in the following
;: August. A certificate Of tho con,
veyance which was drawn by the
Hon. Caleb Gushing, and endorsed
I by the Mexican Minister at Wash,
ington, was fled in the office OF
our Secretary Of State, to be the
basis of any future action between
the two Governments, for the pur-
chase o. joint protection of the
Peninsula of Lower California.
But it is not the object Of the
Lower California Co. that their
charter shall be made the basis of
a mere political operation. Their
object is to colombo the land duly
and faithfully, under the contract
with Mexico -; and to that end they
are now preparing an extensive
expedition, with the view of set.
tling up two Of its provinces, and
establishing an ocean city. AL
ready, emigrants, allured by the
precious metals, and other dcpos-
its Of valuable materials Of COM
mcrcc, arc pouring into Lower
California; and this spontaneous
movement makes it all the more
requisite that the Company should
at once apply its power and its
means, to regulate this random
population under civil laws. The
Company is armed with powers
equal TO those of the great East
India Company, which founded an
empire in Hiudoostan, and its Su-
p! perintendent and Governor Gene.
raj is the Hon. John A. Logan,
who will probably follow tho colo
mixing expedition, during the next
recess Of Congress, with q select
party who will make it their sum-
mer trip. ......-.. ...-..
Some notion Of tho power and
resources Of the Lower CALIFORNIA;.
Company may be formed by the
names Of = few Of its members and
directors. .... .
The President Of tl:e Company;
the Head Quarters Of which il at
No 35 William St. in New York,
is Richard Schell, Esq; and VIM.
R. Travers is the Treasurer fol-
lowing which, we find the names
of General B. r. Butler, August
Belmont, VIM. g. Fargo, Caleb
Gushing, c. &. Garrison, Hon.
John A. Griswold, John Anderson,
Robert P. Leese, Ben Holiday,
Robert N. McLane, Francis Nor
ris, John McB. Davidson, Leonard
". Jerome, S. L. N. Barlow, Ed.
ward S. Sanford, J. B. G. Isham
and Marshall O. Roberts.
Among the above names, are
those of two ex-Ministers to China
and Mexico (Mr. Cushing and Mr..
McLane), and the well known
public views of all the others,
make it evident that the Company
is not merely a stock or political
machine. In fact it ofors no stock
for sale. -..
But the highest proof of tho ex-
panded views and enlightened ss-
gacity Of the Company. may be
found in the fact that though the
democratic members largely pre-
vail in number, the Company as
long as three years ago, and while
a large portion of them were BIT
terly contesting the principle Of
the Fifteenth Amendment for the
United States, decided, that all
races Of eolonists, and of whatever
color, should have land on equal
terms, and have leave to try, with
out limitation or interruption; tie
problem Of self:government with
the great races Of the world: 1t
is clear, therefore, that this Com
pany has the sagacity to succeed
and it will be an important hour
for the future destinies Of the
Northwest coast, when the colony
which is now in preparation, lands
upon the peninsular coast.
This is an are of progress; but
