No party in the country urged a declaration of cy or against the Even all tho faithlegs gots recorded in the letter of Count Casimir Batthyanyi, and cho oraelties committed in the name of that court in Lower Hungary and ‘Transylvania, did not turn the sosles in this di- rection. The Pragmatic sanction was still con- Pidered a2 good in law; and the maay precedents of cur history, When the nation and its kings went to war with each other and ultimately cettled their disputes by solemn pacts ovntirmiog the constitu- tion of the land, cenveyed the notion that a recon- Ciliation was even then not impossibte. Without these precede.ts and reminiscenoes of history, and only guided by the waiversal feeling of the country against tho dyuasty, the Huagariaa Parliament would have prououneed the forteitare of the House of Austria so far back as Ostoher, 1848, when Jellacbich was appointed absolute plo . aipotentiary of the king in Huogary, with discro- tionary power of life and death; or in December, 1848, when in Ollmutz the succession to the Hun- erian throne was changed and determined, with- cut the concurrence of the nation, through the Diet. To force the nation and its Parliament to tho last step in its momentous crisis, the court it- Self broke the dynastic tie This was done by the impenis of the consti- tution of the 4th cf Marcb, 1849, by whioh tho ouse of Austria itself annihilated the Pragmatic Sanction, treating free and independent Huagary with the arrogance of a conqueror. The nation, more irritated by this act thua by any preceding event, saw that the hour was come, beyond which further to defer the dethrenemvent of the dynasty would be alike incompatible with the laws and the honor of Hungary. All the channels of public opinion, the pours pres, the popular meotings, and even the headausrtors of the army, resounded with emphatic ceviarations of the impossibility of reconciliatien with the dynesty. The garrison of ‘Comorn, tho most important fortress of the couatry — petitioned the governments for the deslaration of forfeiture. Most assuredly no party manwuvros wore wanted in this univorsal excitement, caused by tho constitution of the 4th of March, to carry a parliamentary resolution of forfeiture. ‘When the proposition of forfeiture was made on the 14th of April, 1849, in the House of Represen- tatives, only eight members voted against it, in a house never attended by less than from 220 to 240 members. Tho House of Maguates adopted this resolution without opposition. The press, of all shades of opinion, though enjoying the most un- Jimited frecdom, also deciared for the resolution of the Diet. It was moroover received throughou: tho whole country with patriotic assent and deter mination. If there was a party opposed to the for feiture, how came it that it did not hold it to be a duty to declare its opposition in the Diet, or through the press? bat were the viows of that party?) What mossures would they have desired to bo taken in consequences of the constitution of the 4th of March! { find nothing to meet these questions in the letter of Count Casimir Batthyanyi. Still loss can the act ef forfeiture be considered as bo work of a party, besause the so called Mada- raz party, to which perhaps the noble count alludes, was at that very moment vanquished, and the elected governor, in consequence, chose his ministry from the ranks of its oppoueats ( must alzo differ from the noble count with re- gard to the actual logalisy of tho act of forfeiture und declaration of independence of the i1sh of April, 1549. I consider this act completely valid in covery respect. ‘The noble count supports his view by remarking on the subsequent transfor of pore to Gorgei. It is necessary, therefore, that ee narrate the whole circumstances of that event. Whon the intelligence of the unfortunate battle of Tcmeswar reached Governor Kossuth, who was then in tho fortress of Arad, ho immediately summoned a council of the ministry to deliberate on measures of Fete safoty still possible. At this council, in which all the ministers took part, it was resolved to invest Gorgei, who stood alone at the bead of an unconquered army, with full powers for pa tered & peace. It was, moreover, resolved te dissolve the government, which could not be car- -ried on in any fixed place of safety under tho ex- isting circumstances. We did not, however, insert in the instrument investing Gorgei with full power (and dispatched to him immodiately), the abdica- _ tion of tho goverment. On the same day (it was the 11th of August, 1849) Gorgei declarod, in the resenco of some of the ministers who had assem- led at Csinyi’s (who was one of them) that he could not accept the commission because the ae: nation of the government was not contained ia it, whilo he was sure that the onemy would onter into no negotiations with him so long as Kossuthand his ministry wore thought to be behindhim. The mi- nisters who wero preeent, after a short deliberation, considering it to be their duty not to stand in the way of the negotia‘ion which had been resolved on “es necessary, accordingly sent their resignation to the governor, whom thoy requested to resign as well. The governor soon after, seat his abdication for counter signature by these mombers ef tho ministry, and accordingly the govornment formally diesolved itself, after having dono so de fucto in the previous council of ministers. I must mention the ciroumatesce that in the governor’s instrument of \ abdication conditions were prescribed by Gorgei, whioh were not inserted in the original instrument of authorization issued by the fall council. Theo conditions were the preservation of the nationality and the autonomy of Hungary. Four ministers took part in this resignation of the goverror, as above stated—Aulich, Csanyi, Horvath, and I. ‘Two of the ministers, Saomere and Batthyanyi, were absent when the formal declaration of the ab- dication was discussed at Csanyi’s residence. | havo not mentioned among the ministers our late ool- Jeague, the finance minister Dusheck, because his @reachery, whish was afterwerds brought to light, excludes him from ourrauxs. From all these oir- cumstances, it will be manifott how unjust the re- proaches of Count Casimir Batthy anyi are, that 0 aew cabinot council was hold. It is notorious that Gérgei abused the full powers with which he was entrusted, instead of procuring the preservation of Hungary by a negotiation for peace, by anignominious treachery to his native country. From that very moment the power con- ferred on him by the above mentioned instrument, anithe conditional abdication of the government consequently and legally reverted to bim who had tavested him with it. To deny this would be to recognise in the foreign rule which crushed Han- gary in consequence of that treachery, logitimate right and lawtal power. ‘be noble count himself answers the question _why Kossuth, before crossing he Turkish frontier, Ho states that Kes- did not resume power again! sath could not know, beicre crossing the frontier, the catastrophe ef Viligor, and therefore left the country, in the bolief thas Gorgei would faithfully fulfil his commission ; a betiof which was the moro natural, because Gorgei had an unconqucred army under him, and almost ali the fortresses at his dis- osition—a power more than eaflicient to carry on negotiations, and oven to menace tho enemy ith @ continuation of the war. Tho noble count did not take bis present view of this quostion when, alter the treachery of Gorget became known, he countersigned the order written at Viddin by Kos. euth, as Governor of Hungary, to the fortress of omorn. L however, he nati al exieten ve the unlimited rigt orfectly agree with th bie coun’, once more restored to its constitu. foreign yoke, will ose of all the affairs coutive “of the country, and oons power.

I consider, however, Koesuth to bo the chief represontative of the interests of our native country en account of his deeds ag woll ne his posi tion; but 1 am far indeod from sceing in hima di tator. A dictatorship would fad all those who, like me, hold firmly to tho repw f pronounced by him, the m eterminod opposition. Republican principles have not been proclaimed at Kossuth’s dictation, os the sim of our national exertions. Thoy wero, during our § uggle, the well ascertained and deep-rooted sentiment of the sountry, and Kossuth 5 hfally repre- + the proclaimed will and feeling of the nation, insoribing them on his banner.

It would be indeed an unprecedented event in history, if staunch royalism could be the cbaracteristic of a country, which, like Hungary, has found in ils kings for three huadred years the inexorable foes of itedibertios, and which in that time for their defence had to wage six bloody wara against its dynasty A3 to the criticisms by the noble count of tho personal character of Kossuth, | take leave to ascort that a great majority oy the Hungarian nation do nov share his opinion.

After the resignation of the first Hun- garian ministry, he was freely and unanimously elected by the Diet to the Presidency of the Com- mittee of Defence, and, after the declared forfeiture of the dynasty, to the Governorship of the country. I know no more honorable means by which a man can be raised to power.

The quartz mine at Salt Springs is said to be very rich. Dr Trask has recently found silver in several loeations, but gonerally in connection with gold in small quantitics. He thinks that come of the gold mines rus into silver, and prove very rish. Dr. T. states that, in journeying to California, the compan with which be travelled found sevoral valuable sil- ver mines on the western boundary of Chihuahua, and on the eastern boundary of Sonora, which had been abandoned by tho Mexicans, in consequence of the dopredating inoursions of the Apache Indians. Tn one or two places the ground was literally cover- ed with ore, which bad been loft by the miners when surprised by the Indians. ‘he Sacramento Times mentions a specimen of old-bearing quartz, which had been taken from <entucky Kidge, near Newtown, of the richest kind. Its weight was some six pounds, and was supposed to contain about $2,000 worth of gold. Some gentlemen connected with tho tunnol at Deer crcek, immediately below the celebrated Gold tunnel, bavo exhibited somo specimens of their load, which indicate a rich deposit in that portion of the vein.

At no peried since the organization of our State go- vernment have we enjoyed such uninterrupted pros- perity—in health, in the developement of our agri- cultural and minora! resources—as during tho past year ® * * A subject which has assumed a dogreo of impor- tance not to be overlooked by the Executive and Loegielative brenches of the Stato Abrernuieas 8 that alising from the operation of our system of taxation, ia the alleged inequality with which it Operates upon the dilferent sections of tho State. It is declared by citizens of the southern counties, which are esscntially agricultural and grazing, that under the present State organization and laws, they are overburthened by taxation for the support ot tho State government, from which they derive little benefit, while the northern mining counties, more favored in this respect, bear but a small proportion of the burdens of taxation. They bey, also, that while the taxes which they pay aro double thore paid by the mining countios, their re- presentation in the Legislature is only one third a3 numerous. l'rom an examination of the taxes sessed upon real and personal property, and of those returned as delinquent, which will be soen by reference to the report of the Comptrollor of State, the six southern and grazing counties, with a popu- lation of 6,367 souls, a8 taken from the census re- turns, have paid into the treasury, for the fiveal year ending the Ist of Jaly last, the sum of $41,705 26; while the twelve mining counties, wich a popu- lation of 119,917, have paid $21,253 66. The latter bave a representation in the Logislature of forty- four, while tae former have bat twelve. Tho amount of capitation tax assessed in the twelve mining counties ia $51,495, and the amount re- turned a3 delinquent $17,915; while the amount asseseedin the grazing counties is $7,205, and the amount delinquent $3,291 50, showing that tho southern counties, with a population of 6,367, pay a capitation tax of $533.50 more than the twelve mining counties, which bave a population of 119,917. It will be seen, also, by a reference to the same report, that tho entire agricultural countios, with a population of 79,778, have paid into the treasury, ouring tho Jast fiscal yoar, $216,247 71, while the mining counties, with a population as bo- fore stated, of 119,917, pay only $21,253 66. The interests of the southern counties are in many respects inimical to those of the north. To remedy whatever evils exist, seoms impossible un- der the present constitution, for that instramont provides that there shall be no special legislation, declaring that ‘all laws of a general naturo ehall have a uniform operation.” 1t declares, also, that ‘taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the State.” This equality now exists only in a legal sense; for while the southern counties, which are mostly covered by grants and in the possession of individuals, Pay. a heavy tax upon every acre of their Jand, which at best yields but a moderate di- vidend upon its valuation, the mining counties, ex- ccedingly prolific in the returns they make to their occupants, being almost ensiroly the property of the federal government, pay nothing compara- tively, into the State Treasury. Thus, while a large portion of the public expenditures are for their benefit, thoy escape taxation upon the Janis they oseupy, and pey nothing for the treasures which they take from the eoil The effects of this unequal taxation have already become epparent, Rot only in the necessity which bas been forced upon many citizens of tho southern counties, of alienating portions of their lands and seorificing portions of their stock to meet what they consider an unjust burden, but the dissatisfaction conrequent is fast edi’ those cords of amity which chould ever provail betweon citizens of the fame commonwealth. This condition of things cannot last long without great danger to tho peace and prosperity of the State. ‘The dissatisfaction already felt will increase, and local prejudices take the place of common fellowship. The constitution, through its provisions, somo of which have boen referred to, prevents the Logislature from remedy- ing the evil; but it gives it the power of calling a convention. I would, therefore, most earnestly ro- commend that a convention of delegates from the peopls, for the revision of tho constitution, be called atan carly day, at some suitable place, in which body all inconveniences, of whatever nature, arisin, from the preeent State charter, may be discussed, understood, and, as far as possible, obviated. * * * * * » * The adoption of some practical system for the disposal and government of the lands belonging to the State, which have been granted hor by the se- veral acte of Congress, is a subjoot to which | most earncetly invite yeur attention. By an act of Con- grose, paseed in Septembor, 1350, allthe swamp and overflowed lands lying withia the several States, were Riven to those States respectively, for the pur- pote of reclamation. Tho quantity of land which the State of California will derive under this act, amounts to from six to ten milliena of acres, em- bracing almost the entire arable public lands in tho State.

But as yot wo have next to none A policy so deleterious to the progress of the State, so iliberal and unjustly partial, is ume wortby of the nation, inconsistent with its general administration, and deserves tho remonstranee of our people and authoritic It 1s believed, also, that some of our State laws affecting commercial interests are burthensome, unjust, and probably unconstitutional. Thore eam be but one opinion concerning laws whioh fetter commerce ‘ho Stato has, undeniably, the right to lovy a tax upon the tonnage of its own citisens. Bat the law impotiog a per centum tax upon vou sels which have been taxed also in tho ports ef othor States, whero they belong, is impolitic, am@ has boon pronounced unconstitutional by the courts of other States. A carcful revision of all our ate— tutes affecting commerce, the repeal or amendment of such a3 are deomed unconstitutional, and the enactment of such as the necessities of this great interest require, secms demanded of those to whese keeping ia ontrusted much of the future of this commonwealth. Every question touching com- mace ae navigation cannot be too osrnostly con- sidered. One important duty which will rest upon the pre gent Legislature, is that of enacting alaw to divide the Stato, into Congressional districts, in acoor- dance with the requisitions of a law of Congress. ‘The necessities of such enactments are 40 obvious as to render unnecessary thoir enumeration. Im this connection | would recommend the enactment of ® law providing for the election of two mem- bers of tho Thirty-third Congress, at the some time with the election of the Presidontial electors. Under the system which now prevails, the terms of our present mombers will expire with the third of March, 1853. The eleotion for thoi¢ successors, under tho present law, will not osour uvtilthe ensuing September. Consequently, should national policy require the President to oall an extra session of Congress between those periods, (a term of six months,) our State would bo unrepre- eonted in that body, or be subjected to the expense, trouble and delay of an election ordered by the Executive for this epecial purpose. And even thie method would probably fail to remedy the evil; for our distance from Washington City is so great, that the time consumed in receiving tho President's pro- clamation, then that neoeraary to give tho order due publication, to receive the returns of the elee tion, and to cnable the successful candidate to reach Washington, would likely, in most cases, de- prive the State of all voive, vote, or influence in any such extra scesion. The practice which now pre- vails in many States, of electing sucsessors to Con- gcensianal incumbents before their term bas expired, founded in wisdem and necessity, and ia poca- liarly adapted to our isolated condition. One of the moet injurious neglects of Congross, regarding our State, has been that of refusing te provide a branch mint. Over two handred millions of gold dust have been carried away from our shores; not an inconsiderable portion of which bas been taken to foreign countries. to bo coined inte foreign currency. Had we been provided with the propor moans and outhority, this gold would have borne the stamp of our government, and car- ried theemblem of our nationality whore even our language is not spoken, and our history is unknown. ‘lhe American ooin would have circulated all along the Pacific coast, in South America, the Sandwich Islande, the South Sea Islands, in Ching and Japan; indeed, it would have found its way te every part of the world. For tho want of suoh institution, private individuals, and more especially the laboring classes, have euffered severe losses. Every branch of trade and industry has exporienced in a greater or Jess degree the injurious effects of this neglect on the part of Congress. The neces sity for coin for tho ordin: pape of trade, in duced irresponsible isues of private coinage, which, from being deficient in valuc, or bearing a false Tepresentation, or losing the confidence of thi munity, bave, in most instances, fallen so far be- neath their pretended value as to inflict hoavy loses upon the community. A mint hore would eb- viate many difliculties and lighten the burthens that now weigh heavily upon oar commercial interests. I would, therefore, recommend such action on the part of the Legislature as will bring to tho atton- tion of Congress tho necessity for providing such am institution. ff * * ee * * # Our State is peculiarly remarkable for her mine- tal resources, and whatever will conduge to their developement will serve to advance us yet more tapidly in tho career of greatness, which, it eam hardly be questioned, is open before us.
