" Every Mexican citizen, residing in that territory for the term of one year, is, and shall be, considered to have made an election to become a citizen of the United States. " At the adoption of that constitution, more than twelve months had elapsed, and every Mexican, so residing in that territory of Upper California, was an American citizen, and had the same right to vote, that Amer- ican citizens had, who had gone there froin the States. That class of Mexicans, who had come into the territor...y from Lower California, were, by the very article of the constitution, precluded from voting on its adoption. It was ratified and con- firmed by American citizens only — by those who had the right, as American citizens, of voting. The final ratification or adoption of this constitu- tion, was by the act of American citizens. This was the last act in the progress of events. Who instituted the first proceedings — what influences operated before — is really of no practical import- ance. The final act was that of the people them- selves.
