East Of the Sierra Nevada, or California

By resolution, offered b. Mr.. Davis Of
Miss, Messrs. Choat, Of Mass, and Haw.
ley, Of N. Y, were re-appointed me mbe r:
of the Board Of Regents for the Smithso.
MAN Institute.
Rev. Mr.. Slicer was reelected Chaplain
to the Senate.
We commend 10 our readers the follow.
ing communication which we found lying
upon our table few days since, and
which, as we learn from note appended
was refused publication at the wing office
in this city.
1t conveys a proper rebuke to the des.
picable course Of the editor Of that vile
sheet published at Burlington, in this
State, and dcnominated the "IIawkeye,'
who, in following up his instructive habit
Of indiscriminate viIlifcasion and abuse,
has lately attacked the character of the
Honorable gentlemen who have been cho-
sen to represent our State in the Senate
of the United States.
So accustomed have we become to the
ou'poring Of this fellows spiene, that we
have long since ceased 10 notice it ;-"it
passes by US as the idle wind, which we
respect not" 1t Injuries no one, but, like
the crawling Of the loathsome reptile, it
is sometimes annoying. From our in
most soul, we pity that man who is un-
ceasingly at variance with the world a.
round him; whose eye can catch no i'm
preston Of the good, the fair, the noble
and the God-like in human nature, bu,
such as is reflected from his own narrow
and jealous heart; whose moral nature is
so deeply enshrouded in envy and malice
that among his fellow men he can fine
nothing to admire and nothing to COM
mend but what panders to his own preju.
diced and selfish desires.
The attack Of this Editor upon the 20.
Iltlcal or personal character of the indi.
vlduals, to whom we have referred, is a.
fruitless asst is slanderous and malicious
The, noisy cur may utter his yclpings in
the presence of the most augusl.-the
loathsome reptile may invade the purity
Of the sanctuary, and with the same effect
may this Verita6ze Editor give vent &c
the envy that rankles in his bosom. T !.
Were he possessed Of ordinary sagacity
he would long since have been convicted
of the truth Of that Scripture, which says
Sit is hard to kick against the pricks
His,( we blush TO say it,, is the accredited
organ Of the wing party, in this state, lie
it but continue its operations, and that same
party will soon see, that, TO them it is the
organ of Distrucliveness.
Let it but continue its slanderous vir
1tuperations upon the characters Of ou
distinguished Citizens, and the sphere O
its influence will soon be narrowed dowr
to the contracted limits Of the soul of hin
who conducts its destinies. ...
AUGUSTUS c. DODGE, and GEORGE w. 10
MES, are men whose fair fame is in no dan
ger Of being furnished by any thing tina
may be said by the editor Of the Hawk
eye.
They are identified with the inte rest
