SATURDAY, JUNE 19. 187k MEXICAX II AIDS. From dispatches printed in the Junction on Monday.it begins to lowk a little os though a prospect of war with Mexico might ba in the near future. The object, which was announced last spring as being so dear to the senatorial heart, the acquisition of Mexican soil, nvy yet b attained in Our territory has tho usual way. been, heretofore, extended by conquest, and may bo so again, though we hope not, at least in the present instance. We have no evidence ihat the Mexican government cncouiages, or connives at, tho acts of aggression upon our border citizens, by the thieving Greasers, but certain it is that thes aggressions occur altogeth- produce acts of hostility between soldiers and citizens who may think ihoy have a right to resist even the military arm of government when in the act of enjoying one of those constitutional rights, very dear to the averago western man, the right to travel unmolested through any or all of the States of the Union. It is claimed by some persons who ought to know bettter, that white mca have no right to enter within certain limits from which they may have been excluded by virtue of treaties made with Indians. We intimated heretofore that there existed a law of Congress prohibiting treaties with Indians, and we believe there is such law, but are not able at pre sent to find it, (having none of the U. S. statates at hand) but (mould it be assumed that there is such an act, any treaty made after its passage would be void, because in contra vention of law. It is in vain for tho friends of the military to claim that tho interior department may treat with Indians contrary to law, and then legally call upon the commander of a military department to er too frequently, and unless dhecked either a general or a local border war must necessarily ensue, and the'latter cannot very easily be protracted without producing the former. There are peoplo so suspicious as to believe that our own officials, 6onie of them, are plotting to bring on such conflict for personal" and' political ends. Some even go so far as to imagine and hint,'that tho abandonment of the Senatorial excursion to Mexico enforce the illegal contract, in such case it. occurs to us, the military man is bound by the same rules that other men are bound by, (in times of peacn), and one of these rules we incline to believe is, that n officer is bound to do an illegal net. But let us hear from the courts upon this last spring, was the result of the newly formed plan of another war. Some may imagine that President Grant and his political associates are dow behind the scenes assisting to Although great fears and a good deal of uncertainty have prevailed in regard to the grain crops in Califor nia, we' incline to think from what we gather from that State, that there will bo a pretty good turn out of some kinds of grain, after all. ;y In Alameda County the farmers s of a crop. In expect Butte County a largo amount of wheat has been lost by a heavy wind which blew so hard as to thresh the grain as it stood on the fields. Tho make that history to which he refers in his letter to Harry White, when he says : "It may happen in the fu- ture history of tbe country that to change an executive becauso he has brcn eight years in offico, will prove disastrous." point. . ...

The State did not raise grain enough to feed its population until 1850, after that the high prices stimulated ventures, until a large amount was produced in certain localities, still the Chronicle says, "it was found to be a interest to all who may have their eyes turned to the golden state as a future home, and with a view of engaging in agricultural pursuits, and in this connection desire to express admiration for the candor of tho San Francisco Chronicle, from whose columns we glean the substance of what we print below: The Chronicle expresses the opinion that in the end it may prove, that the original Spanish possessor of that country had a more correct idea of its adaptation to agriculture than their American successors, it says that the old settlers never considered California an agricultural country, but rather the reverse, and they assured the 6rst Americans who came there that it would be impossible to carry on agriculture to any great extent. But they regarded it as a pastoral paradise. Flocks and o, GEO. A. LOWE " BUCKEYE c-- Wagon Woods, mm n, m n, Og-de- n; UTAH. 3 M. D. HAMMOXVi ; m , |
