For the Journal. - t
Messrs. Editors: i
I cannot imagine how a person without '
grer.t trepidation offers an original com- I
position 10 a newspaper fi-r publication. 1
Now 1 am an old bachelor, who makes ;
twenty bales of cotton and doc 3 not owe
a cent to any one, and consequently am
independent, yet to confess the truth I am
as nervous in addressing this comniunica
tion to you, as a young girl on first coming
into society. Our neighborhood school
master who lives wilh me, (and who by the
way is a very shrewd old fellow) will be
found terribly in fault, if by his encourage
ment I have been perruaded to do a foolish
thing, for he says that the Constitution and
Code of laws which i have draw n up for the
government ot California is well worthy
of the public eye; indeed on cne accasior.
when we had got a little mellow over my
Mnnongahcla, he wee! mo far a3 to asseil
that if my production were adopted and
fully observed, the golden age would be
restored.
But 1 forget that you are in the dar!c «
to the causes which induced me to undertake
•his tny great work.
Well, about a year ago as I was enjoy ing
the pleasant htec7.cs, to nav piazza a tra
veller on fvit carrying a little bundle in
his hand was parsing my gate. Being verv
anxious to hear the news that might t>e in
circulation f courteously invited him to
stop and partake of some refreshments.—
Poor fellow—Another look satuned me 1
that he w as crazy.
I da not menu that he was a vicious, rav- 1
ing madman, but from some cause (possible
unrequited love) had fallen in u that slate
of innocent derangement (if [ may be al
lowed the expression) which is ch .racteri

schemes on which the excited fancy revel
with a kind of intoxication. Having re
ceived a complete education this unfortun
ate wanderer defended these fanciful
schemes of his with astonishing ardor and
plausibility.
In a day or two, during which he, was
recruiting his strength for the prosecution
of his weary journey, I had Uj)on ^is
confidence so far th*’, he with an air of
great mystrry pressing my arm significant
7 at the Seine time, told me that he had a
I-1,1 ii on foot to select a chosen company of
■heright kind of men, and at their bean
occupy California aud hold it independent
ngR'nst the world.
f.ook ai. >ad over the Un led States,

in morals, in R- ligion, in polities that n>e
inseperably combined aud interwoven wiih
the existing order of things. We must
start anew and by the lights of experience

innn to go to. It possesses that charming
medium which unites ihe principal ndvan

a fertile scjjF. On (he one hand the broad
Pacific presents facilities for unbounded

descendants would always be uncotiquered
and UQconqnerable. Should an overwhelm
ing host 'nvfdeour land we will retreat to
the mountains and defy the foe. Ah! love

there is an enjoyment. How different from
that, your rich lands in Texas from whose

corc.usion that money is the root ot all
