The Baltimore Patriot publishes an ex-
tract of letter from an American citizen
in California. He says that the Califor-
mans have great jealousy of the Mexi-
cans whose authority there, is barely nom-
inal, and for the American settlers, espe-
cially those who come over the mountains.
The writer adds:


In the meantime, our people, like sure
heavy and sullen tide, are overhowing the
country. Among them / can almost i'm
agine myself in India. Most of the peo-
pie who first enter Oregon, eventually fall
down into California. As an evidence Of
the imperceptible manner in which they
come in, an immigrant couple were mar
ried short time since at our Consul's in
Montery, and the house was filed with
tall, gaunt back-woodsmen. The mex: day,
the Governor sent to enquire where so
many foreigners had come from; in the
meantime they he'd all dispersed, and the
Consul himself could not tell whence they
had come, nor whence they had gone.


You must not suppose that I, more than
yourself, advocate the principle Of terrific
rial aggression. Yet believing as do, that
the contests of the world are hereafter to
be, not so much between individual inte-
rests, as between great principles influence
ing the well being Of man at large; and that
the great contest going on, is between the
democratic (not in party sense) and mo-
narchial principles, the latter having nearly
fulfilled their purposes in the education Of
mankind, l think I can foresee the inevi-
table destiny Of this territory, one of the
most efficient fortresses from which new
and liberal are to combat old and despotic
institutions. Circumstances known to me
here, assure me that Great Britain, as the
watchdog Of despotism, sees the same
thing, and is ready to arouse every energy
to impede such result. If the view
present is correct, it would indicate our
policy in case of belligerent relations.
