hushed up by Fremont's advice urion

States had Tiot up to that time ac
quired the . possession of California.
It would be very unwise to make thts
discovery public because if It became
generally known that children could
pick up gold along the gulches to
the extent that these samples Indi
cated. England would use every ef
fort to secure a base upon San Fran
cisco bay. and If possible prevent
the United States from securing th
control of California. Therefore the
Mexican war was fought to a Hnlsh.
and Mexico ceded California to the
United States by the Guadalupe

Polk on July 4 or that year.
