MOOKE’S EUBAL NEW-YOEKER; AN AGRICULTUEAL AND FAMILY JOUENAf,. 
Califoniia — President’s Message. 
Washington, Jaa 21. 
'lo the House of Representatives of the U. >S'.- 
I transmit to the House of Repiosentatives, in 
answer to the resolution of that body, passed on 
the2l8tof December last, the following reports 
of heads of Departments, which contain all the 
official information in the possession of the Exec¬ 
utive, asked for by the resolution: 
On coming into office, 1 found the military 
commandant of the department of California ex¬ 
ercising the functions of civil governor in that 
territorv; and left asl was to act under the trea- 
tv of Gaudalupe Hidalgo, without the aid of any 
legislative provision establishing a government in 
that territory, I thought it best not to disturb the 
arrangements made under my predecessor, until 
Congress should take some action on that subject 
I therefore did not interfere with the powers of 
the military commandant, who continues to exer¬ 
cise the functions of civil governor, as before; 
but I made no such appointment, conferred no 
such authority, and have allowed increased com¬ 
pensation to the commandant for his services. 
With a view to the faithful execution of tha 
treaty, so far as laid in the power of the Execu- 
and to enable Congress to act at the present sea¬ 
son with as full knowledge and as little difficulty 
as possible on all matters of import in these terri¬ 
tories, 1 sent the Hon. Thomas Butler King as 
bsarer of despatches to California, and certain of¬ 
ficers to California and New Mexico, whose du¬ 
ties are particularly defined in the accompanying 
letters of instruction, addressed to them severally 
by the several departments. I did not hesitate to 
express to the people of those territories my de 
sire that each territory should if prepared to com¬ 
ply with the requisitions of the constitution of the 
United States, form a plan of a State constitution 
and submit the same to Congress, with a prayer 
for admission into the Union as a State; but 1 did 
not anticipate, suggest or authorise any govern¬ 
ment without the assent of Congress; nor did I 
authorise any government agent or officer to in¬ 
terfere with, nor exorcise any influence or control 
over the election of delegates, or over any con¬ 
vention, in makinfi or modifying their domestic 
institutions, or any of the provisions of the pro¬ 
posed constitution. 
On the contrary, the instructions given by my 
orders were, that all measures of domestic policy 
must originate solely with themselves; that while 
(he executive was desirous to protect and defend 
them in the formation of any government repub¬ 
lican in its charae'er, to be at the proper time 
submitted to Congress, yet it W'as to be distinctly 
understood that the plan of such a government 
must at the same time be the result cf. their own 
deliberate choice, and originate with themselves 
without the interferance of the Executive. 
I am unable to give any information as to laws 
passed by any supposed Government in Califor¬ 
nia, orol any census taken in either of the terri¬ 
tories mentioned in the resolution, as I have no 
information on these subjects. As already stated 
I have not disturbed the arrengements which I 
found had existed under my predecessor. In ad¬ 
vising an early applibatiou by the people of the 
territories for admission as states, I was actuated 
principally by an earnest desire to afibrd to the 
wisdom of Congrees the opportunity of avoiding 
angry discussions among the people of the United 
Stales. 
Under the Constitution every State has the 
right of establishing, and from time to time alter¬ 
ing its municipal laws and domestic institutions, 
independently of every other State, and of the 
General Government, subject only to the propo¬ 
sitions and guarantees expressly set forth in the 
Constitution of the United States. The subjects 
thus left exclusively to the respective States were 
not designed or expected to become topics of na¬ 
tional agitation. Still, as under the Constitution 
“Congress has power to make all needful rules 
and regulations respecting the territories of the 
United States,” every new acquisition of territo¬ 
ries has led to discussions on the question wheth¬ 
er the system of involuntary servitude which pre¬ 
vails in many of the States, should or should not 
be prohibited in that territory. 
The periods of excitement from this cause 
which have heretofore occurred have been safely 
pasfed, but during the interval of whatever length 
may elapse before the admission of the Territo¬ 
ries ceded by Mexico as States—it appears proba¬ 
ble that similar excitements will prevail to an un¬ 
due extent. Under these circumstances, I thought 
and still think it my duty to endeavor to put it in 
the power of Congress by the admitsion of Cali¬ 
fornia and New Mexico as States, to remove all 
occasion for the unnecessary agitation of the pub¬ 
lic mind. 
It is understood tiiat the people of the western 
part of California have formed a dlan of a State 
Constitution and will soon submit the same to the 
judgment of Congress and apply for admission as 
a State. This coureeou their part, though in ac¬ 
cordance with, was not adopted exclusively inas¬ 
much as measures tending to that end had been 
promoted by the officers sent there by my prede¬ 
cessor, and wore already in active progress of ex¬ 
ecution befare any communication reached me 
from California. If the proposed Constitution 
shall, when submitted to Congress, be found to 
be in compliance with the requisitions of the con¬ 
stitution of the United States, I earnestly recom¬ 
mend that it may receive the sanction of Con- 
giess. 
The part of California not included in the pro¬ 
posed Stale of that name, is believed to be unin¬ 
habited, except in a settlement of our countrymen 
in the vicinity of Salt Lake. 
A claim has been advanced by the State of 
Texas to a very large portion of the most populous 
district of the Territory commonly known by the 
name of New Mexico. If the people of New Mex¬ 
ico had formed a plan of State Government for 
that Territory, as ceded by the treaty of Guada¬ 
lupe Hidalgo, and had been admitted by Congress 
as a State, our Constitution whould have afford¬ 
ed the best means of obtaining an adjustment of 
the quosttou of boundary with Texas by a judicial 
decision. 
At present, however, no judicial tribunal has- 
the power of deciding the question, and it remains 
for Congress to device some mode for its adjust¬ 
ment. Meanwhile I submit to Congress the 
question whether it would be expedient, before 
such adjustment, to establish a Territorial Gov¬ 
ernment which, by including the district so claim, 
ed, would practically decule the question adverse¬ 
ly to the State of Texas—excluding it would de¬ 
cide it in her favor. In my opinion such a course 
would not bo expedient, especially as the people 
of this territory siill enjoy the benefit and protec¬ 
tion of their municipal laws originally derived 
from Mexico, and having a military force station¬ 
ed there to protect them against the Indians. 
It is undoubtedly true that the property, lives, 
liberty and religion of the people of New Mexico 
are better protected than they over were befora 
the treaty of cessation. Should Congress, when 
California shall present herself for an incorpora¬ 
tion into the Union, annex a conditiou to her ad- 
rnission as a State, aflecting her domestic institu¬ 
tions contrary to the wishes of her people, and 
even compel her temporarily to comply with it, 
yet the State could change her constitution at 
any time after admission, when to her it should 
seem expedient. 
As to be expected, any attempt to deny to the 
people of the State the rights of self-government 
in a matter which peculiarly affects themselves, 
will infallibly be regarded by them as an invasion 
of their rights, and upon the principle laid down 
in our own Declaration of Indipendence, they 
will certainly be sustained in their resistance 
against it by the great mass of the American 
people. To assert that they are a conquered 
people and must submit to the will of their con- 
querers in this regard, w’ill meet with no cordial 
responses among American freemen. Great 
numbers of them are our own countrymen not in¬ 
ferior to the rest in intelligence and patriotism; 
and no language of menace to restrain them in 
tho exercise of an undoubted right substantially 
guaranteed to them by the treaty of session itself, 
shall ever be uttered by me or encouraged and 
sustained by persons actinp under my authority. 
It is to be expected that in the residue of the 
Territory ceded to us by Mexico, the people resi¬ 
ding there will at the time of their incorporation 
into ihe Union as a state, settle all questions of 
domestic policy to suit themselves. 
No material inconvenience will result from the 
want, for a short period, of a Government estab¬ 
lished by Congress over that part of the Territory 
which lies eastward of the new stale of Califor¬ 
nia ; and the reasons for my opinion that New 
Mexico will at no very distant period ask for ad¬ 
mission into the Union, are founded on unofficial 
information, which I suppose is common to all 
w'ho have cared to make inquiries on the subject. 
Seeing, then, that the subject which now excites 
such painful sensations in the country, will m the 
end certainly be settled by the silent effect of causes 
independent ofthe action of Congress, I again sub¬ 
mit to your wisdom the policy recommended in 
my Annual Message, of awaiting the salutary op¬ 
eration of these causes, believing that w'e shall thus 
avoid the creation of geographical parties, and se¬ 
cure the harmony of feeling so necessary to the 
beneficial actions of our political system. 
Connected as the Union is with the remem¬ 
brance of past happiness—the sense of present 
blessings and the hope of future peace and pros¬ 
perity—every dictate of wisdom, every feeling of 
duty, and every emotion of patriotism, tend to in¬ 
spire fidelity and devotion to it, and admonish us 
cautiously to avoid any unnecessary controversy 
which can either endanger it or impair its strength 
—the chief element of which is to be found in the 
regard and affection of the people for each other. 
ZACHARY TAYLOR. 
John B. Gough. 
The Lockport Courier of the 22d, has the fol¬ 
lowing in relation to this celebrated advocate of 
temperance, who is now lecturing in this city: 
Our citizens who had the pleasure of listening 
to the inimitable eloquence of this devoted advo¬ 
cate of temperance reform, will be gratified to 
leapi that, since lecturing in this village, he has 
.spoken to large audiences, and with the most flat¬ 
tering success, at Medina, Wilson and Newfanc. 
He left Lockport yesterday morning, in compliance 
with the most pressing solicitations, and will speak 
.successively at Canandaigua, Pen Yan, Rochester, 
Buffalo and Chautauque. He will also visit St. 
Catharines, and urge the claims of temperance up¬ 
on the tiueen’s subjects, and return to this county 
in about thirty days from this time. The friends 
of temperance will be gratified to learn that the 
committee who have this matter in charge, have, 
notwithstanding the urgent calls from every part 
of the country, secured the services of Mr. Gough 
in Western New Y’ork until the first of July next. 
Wliatcver difference of opinion may exist in 
regard to legal enactments, there ari^few who will 
not wish him success in his moving and almost 
irresistible appeals to persuade others to break away 
from, or avoid the fatal cup, to which himself has 
been a conspicuous and wretched victim—and 
no man is better qualified for the task. Compared 
with the touching entreaties, the pathetic appeals, 
the withering rebuke and sarcasm as they come 
from the lips of Mr. Gough, flowing spontaneous¬ 
ly from the heart — the most studied eloquence, 
the finest efforts of the rhetorician, dwindle into 
insignificance. 
Singular Reappeakanck. — Jonathan Hunt, 
Esq., whose mysterious disappearance about two 
years since is probably in the recollection of many 
of our readers, has at length been .seen in Eng¬ 
land. The idea was generally entertained that he 
had been drowned. He possessed a largo fortune, 
which, after all hope of his recovery had been 
given up, was regularly administered upon. — 
Within a month past he has been seen at Liver¬ 
pool, by a gentleman of this city, who had for¬ 
merly known him well, and who had lodged at 
the same house with him in this neighborhood.— 
The gentleman recognized him immediately and 
had a long conversation with him. Mr.” Hunt 
said he had passed two years in traveling througli 
different countries of Europe. — iV. V. Post. 
Mas-sachusetts. — The House of Representa¬ 
tives of Massachu.sctts, by a vote of 146 to 114, 
have ordered to a third reading a bill to permit, 
on a .second trial, a plurality vote to elect members 
of Congress, and also to provide that Electors of 
President and Vico President of the United States 
shall be elected by a plurality.

ALB.VNY, Jan. 28ih—The flour trade has been siiial 
this Winter. 'I’he Eastern market places were supplied 
early in the Fall with a good slock, so that but little has 
been wanted in that section. Thus far the trade has been 
confined to the city wants for home use. The market has 
ruled very steadily and the sales have mostly been made 
up of the better grades. We notice no change in the mar¬ 
ket to-day with but few small sales. There is but little 
Grain in the street and prices are the same as on Satur¬ 
day. The market for dressed hogs i3 firmer, and better 
prices rule to-day. The sales of the road were 104 heads

In ANNOUNCING A NExv PERiouicAL, bearing the 
above title, and asking therefor the support and 
influence of the Runil I’opnlatioii of the Country, 
the Publisher solicit.s attention to its plan and the 
objects contemi)lated. It may be proper to remark, 
in the first place that the eiiterpri.so has not been 
hastily determined upon. On tlic contrary, we have 
long had it in view, and consulted with many of the 
most intelligent and influential farmers in the State, 
svho have almost invariably admitted the iiece.ssity 
and importance of the work, and urged its com¬ 
mencement. AVe ha\o likewise received numerous 
letters during the pn.st two year.s, suggesting and 
advi.sing tho piihlicalioii of such a journal as the one 
now offered to the -\gricultural (’omniniiity. Indeed, 
from the facts mentioned, and other reliable infor¬ 
mation upon the subject, xve believe that the Indu.s- 
trial Citizens of the Empire iState want and will 
SUSTAIN a Weekly Agricnltnral and Pamily Nticspa- 
per — and that such a work, juopcrly projected and 
conducted, will prove largely beneficial to the Pro¬ 
ductive Intere.sts of tho Country. These are some 
of the reasons which have induced us to embark in 
the enterprise — a few of the facts iqton which we 
base our faith in its success. 
'1'hk Rural New-Yorker, ns its title indicates, 
will be principally devoted to Agricult are and Hor- 
tiatltnre and tlieir kindred -Arts and Sciences.— 
Tlio t^Hiductor has secured such assi.stance in the 
Uditovial DeiJiirtment, ns will, it is confidently 
belicA'cd, render the work one of the mo>t reliable 
and v.iliiable in the country. A hirgc number of 
Contributors and Corre.spondeiits — men who pos¬ 
sess, and knoAV lunv to iinpurt, botli practical and 
scientific knowledge — will eominnnicate the results 
of their experience, observiilion, and study to the 
readers of the New-Yorker. Every branch of 
iTirrii, I’ruit, anil Giirdcn Culture will he fully and 
seasonably disensst'd. E:icb number of tho paper 
will bo apj.ropriately illustrated. In this respect we 
pledge ourselves to make the Yew-A'orkf.r for 
superior to any simihir journal over issued in the 
Union. 'I’he volume for J850 will contain ox’er 
l.}() HA.\D.SO>IE aA COS'I’LY ENtaLU'LNGy, 
embracing Designs of Farm Buildings,—Portniits 
of Domest .\iiini:ils,— h’igures of New and Improved 
hiiiilenicnts and MacliiiK's, — Choice Fruits, and 
Fruit :iiid Orimmental 'frees. Shrubs, f lowers. &c., 
A;e. Particular attention wilt bo given to Rural 
-Vvchitectin'C*; such artiele.s, designs, and plans 
will be publisliod as must lead to u more correct 
taste, and the erection of more convenientand beau¬ 
tiful F;irin Buildings and yuburlian Residences, 
'[’he Proceedings of our *^tate and County Agricul¬ 
tural yoeieties will be noticed proinjitly, or puii- 
li.sbed at length — together with such other similar 
information as will prove interesting to all engaged 
in ruml pursuits or in promoting improvement. 
'I’o Mechanics, Manufactures, and Inventors, the 
Rur al Nkw-'^'orker xatII furnish useful and inter¬ 
esting intelligence. It will contain figures and des¬ 
criptions of improved machines and implements — 
give a list of Patents as issued— notice all nexv and 
valuable discoveries in the .^lechanic Arts — and em¬ 
brace a variety of other information calculated to 
enhance the interests of all engaged in mechanical 
employments. 
'I’he Departments devoted to Iiiteratnre^ Ikiu- 
catiou, and Domestic Economy, xvill be con- 
(iueted with great care, and an earnest desire to 
render their contents pleasing, useful and acceptable 
at tlie Pamily Pireside. -Avoiding the trashy non¬ 
sense i)ul forth in too many of the literary jieriodic.als 
of the day. we shall aim to give, each week, such 
menttil entertainment as will tend to improve and 
interest the heart and mind, without vitiating the 
taste or corrupting the morals of ntiy who may par¬ 
take of our banquet. Indeed, xve shall strive to 
furnish such a variety of choice reading as will proA e 
interesting to the aged and the youthful — the fath¬ 
ers tind mothers, young men and maidens. 
'Phut portion of the paper devoted to Geiiernl 
Intelligence will contain u summary of the latest 
and most important Domestic and Foreign News. 
No efl’ort will be spared to make this department 
equal in value to the best xvcckly newspaper of the 
day. Particular and careful attention vs ill be given 
to reports of the Markets, Crops, &e. 'I’ho columns 
devoted to thi.s subject can be made liiglily interest¬ 
ing iind really valuable to every farmer. It is a 
matter of great importance that every producer 
should have late and reliable intelli;gence eonceniing 
the crojis and markets, and we shall endeavor to keep 
our readers jiosted up on these topics. The Tele- 
i graph, and an exchange with tlie best Amcric:ia and 
' Eurojiean commercial jonrnals, will enable us to 
j give, in eaeb number, the moat recent and accurate 
! information. 
\ In TyiMjgraphical Appearaiicfc :nid mech:ui- 
i ic:il execution the New-Yorker will second to 
no similar journal of its class. It will be published 
ill Quarto Form, on new, handsome, and clear type, 
and paper of superior quality. 'I’he size will be 
larger than either of the weekly agricultural jour¬ 
nals, (of w hieh there are five or six) in this country; 
each number containing EIGH'P LARG E QUARTO 
I’.AGE.S, (of five columns each,) with Index. Arc., 
at the close of tho volume — thus rendering the 
work convenient and suitable for preservation and 
binding. It will be published every Thursday, and 
mailed .so as to reach all its subscriber.s on the prin- 
ci])al mail routes in thi.s State on or before the day 
of publication. 'Phe first number will bo issued on 
or before the fir^t of January—the volume com¬ 
mencing with the year. 
i Terms —in Advance: Single copy Two Dot- 
\ tars a Year. To Clubs and Agents a.-i follows: Pour 
j copies for — Seven copies for ?!t1 2 — Ten copies 
. for All moneys received by mail will be ac- 
i knowtedged in the paper, and receipts sent if desired. 
j In conclusion, we confidently appeal to the Com- 
i munity for support and encoimigement. We .shall 
j aim to make the Nf.w-Y'okkek every way worthy 
t of an exten.sive circulation — and such, we fully 
! believe, it will ere long receive. But as our expen- 
j ses must be heavy, we trust all who want a frst 
i class family paper, will at once give us their aid and 
j influence. Many have already subscribtHl, and prom¬ 
ised to assist ill establishing the Nv.w-Y'orker upon 
a permanent basis; and we a.sk all into w'hose hands 
this Prospectus may fall to do likewise. Any and 
every assistance which may be rendered to forward 
I tho enterprise will be duly appreciated and gratefully 
I acknowledged. 
I 'Phose who know how faithfully we have fulfilled 
I our pledges as conductor ofthe (Jenesee Farmer, du- 
; ring the "past four years — in which period its circu- 
1 lation has been increased from three to over tioenty
