Denver, Bradford, McDaniel, visited us, for the purpose of enlightening the people of the mountains on the subject of their duty at the neatelection. The principal points in their speecnes, were; “a National Bank” “the Tariff,” “the subTreasury,” “The Nebraska Bill,” and “D. ©. Broderick.” These men, as if they had come down from a former age, and having lost sight of all the advances of the times, and the! changes brought about by the natural . course of events, regard thomselves as still . fighting the old issues of 80 years ago.— Well, let them fight on. In their young days, they learned a certain code of political ethics, and as it requires too much mental exertion to keep up with the prog~ ress of the present enterprising age, they must necessarily go back, in imagination to their own generation, or relinquish their profession. The time has been when the whigs thought a National Bank necessary for the regulation of the Currency and to facilitate commerce. But that time has passed, and it is no longer a part of their policy. A Tariff sufficient to meet all deficiencies in the funds of the nation, with a discrimination in favor of home manufactures, was a part of the great American system, conceived and advocated by Henry Clay. He lived to see it become, though in a modified form, the settled policy of the National Government; acquiesced in by every American citizen, and to see the day . that no political demagogue could be found . that dared to question its benefits. ‘Tt. Le al ' The Sub-Tresury system, formerly aj —failed from the absolute impracticability of the scheme, and abandoned by all its own advocates, and it would scarcely be possible for Messrs. Denver & Co., to resuscitate it new. lollies of the past generation, which should sleep in peace. As to the Nebraska Bill, they may have all the glory they can win from that. It is one of those schemes which are always being hatched up by demagogues and which will universally receive the hearty support of al] base and unprincipled men <o long as it seems to receive the sanction of popular opinion, but which, when it explodes, they soon find means to disown and prove they always opposed. It is an experiment, setting at defiance all those compromises recently established—advocated and sanctioned by such men as Clay, Calhoun, Webster and Benton, a violation of good faith forced upon the American people without giving them an opportunity to be heard on the subject, and calculated, not to allay, put to increase ten-fold the excitement on the ever-troublesome question of.slavery. And we now venture to say two years will not elapse until more than . one-half of its present advocates will either, find means to disconnect their names with. it, or wish they had never said they favored it. As to the capacity of the abovenamed troup of politicians, they were all pro-. nounced by those who heard them as third . tate men ; Denver is particularly designa. . ted as being in point of talent so far be-. neath the capacity of mind that ought to! represent California in the National Legis-. tature, that his election would materially . lessen the estimation in which she is now . held. by the world. The present condition . and wants of California demand able advo: . cates in our national councils, and to select the weakest pot-house politicians to fulfill . those duties, would not only be foolish but even suicidal. success do not exceed, as we learn from good authority, ‘one in one hundred thousand, or “the same as their chances of being struck by lightning,” it is useless for us to multiply words on-the subject.

The U.S. sloop-of-war Cyane, Capt. Holins, acting according to the instructions of his government demanded of the pusilanimous king, satisfaction for some of their recent outrages. But receiving no reply, it being treated with perfect indifference, the commander then notified him. of the alternative, which was likewise treated with indifference. The consequence was as it should be, the apology for a town was soon reduced to ashes. Now the fact is, itis not supposed the . king of the Mosquitoes had any considera‘nation. Commerce and emigration ‘both . but it its said enough has transpired to indicate We ill therefore and thus we will ina very short time be placed in instant communication with the Atlantic States. ; One thing seems a little singular in regard to this matter.

Here are several Mexican villages and a few ranches. The villages are Santa Cruz at the eastern extremiry of the valley, Tobab, and Tuesen. ‘These Mexican live in extreme and perpetual dread of the Apaches, their deadly enemies: depredations and murders are continually perpetrated upon them by the Indians. They are much elated by the news of the purchase of Sonora by the United States. We reached the Gila at the Pimo villages.
