BARGAIN AND INTRIGUE.

The following is the correspondence
which took place between Messrs.
Wilmot and Brown. This corrupt
bargain came within one vote of elect
ing Brown Speaker Of the House, as it
united upon him southern locofocos
and northern abolitionisls. Rumors
were rife, all over Washington, the
evening before Brown got the above
vote, that bargain had been made,
and as soon as the vote was announced,
it proved the rumors to be true, where
upon Mr.. Ashman brought the subject
before the House, and the correspon.
dence was soon brought 10 light. AL.
most every member had heard the ru-
NOR, yet the Locofocos voted for
Brown-and among them the entire
Missouri delegation! Here are the let.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

The subject of the next Congression-
al election is being preached in other
districts besides our own. and other
members than Mr.. Green are likely 10
have trouble. The Lexington Journal
contains a call for a Convention to
nominate candidate in Mr.. Halls dis
trict, and distinctly intimates that "tbe
nullifers" will not be permitted 10 par
ticipate in its proceedings.
The Weston Reporter notices the call,
and says: I'VE have already heard of
several gentlemen who would have no
objections TO ousting the Hon. Willard
z. Among others we will mention as
probable aspiranls, Gen. B. M. Hughes,
and Messrs. Gardenhire and Vorhies,
of Buchanan county, Poker Jones,
Esq, Of Andrew, and "Tivy" Thomp.
son, of Clay, (as Col. Benton calls him. y
In this district. Col. Price seems 10
be the only democrat that particularly
desires TO overthrow Mr.. Green, as we
have not observed the name of any
other brought forward through the
press. Privately, we have heard DR..
Thomas, of BoonviIle, Col. Williams, Of
Monroe, and one or Two residents OF
Jefferson City, spoken Of. We assure
the editor Of the Democrat, that the
prospect for "fun," is good; as to the
profit, we can tell more about that here
after.

LOCOFOCO OUARRELS.

II has been some time since we
looked into the locofoco papers of this
State to see how they were getting
along with their quarrels. During the
first of,he month we begun looking
over our exchanges, just TO see how
things stood. We find the Metropoli.
tan and Inquirer still Safeguarding
each other, bitter as two dogs with sore
heads. The Platte Argus and Lexing-
ton Journal speak Of each other as one
pick.pocket would of another who had
"cheaped.' The ST. Louis Union, we
believe, is dead, as we have not seen a
copy for some time, nor have we no.
,iced any inquiries as TO lis position
lately. The small fry sheets are sput.
tering out their filth and blackguardism
whenever the upper-crust gives them ar
idea. We should think the regular rea
ders of the locofoco papers in this State
must be getting tired of such stuff, anc
would advise the issue Of diplomas tc
their editors, and the order Of new
lot.

CALIFOROIA LETTERS.

with letters written by w. J. Gambrcl,
Of Randolph, and Dr.. r. X. Lewis, of
this vicinity, to their friends.
Mr.. Gambre's letter is dated Oct. !
18th, ls49. His company was one
hundred and sixteen days going out,
having gone by the way Of Sal. Lake,
which they estimated to be I25 miles
further, and a more Indifferent road
than the other. Some Of the first wag
ons made the trip in 90 days. These
gentlemen and Mr.. Taylor. whose letter
we published last week, are together,
and as far as relates 10 their mining
operations, contain the same news
Mr.. Gambrel thinks he can make
$4,000 per annum, certain. He speaks
fthe hardships of the trip, as something
desirable 10 be forgotten, and would not
recommend any one TO undertake it,
Those who started out late were just
getting in, many of them on foot, hav.
ing abandoned wagons and every thing.
DR.. Lewis letter was written on the
3Oth September. He had seen but little
of the country; concurs in the general
statement as TO the abundance of gold,
and the hard labor it requires to get it,.
"PilI peddlers," he says, care as thick as
they can well be crammed in; and they
never think of making visit for lass
than an ounce. Unfortunately, there is
but little sickness in this part of the
Mines" Very unfortunate for the doc
tors, indeed-but fortunate for the
miners. Dr. l.. very modeslly admits
he has made few Fifteen dollar" calls!
(Mr. Gambrel writes that he is doing
well by his rrofession) He speaks of
the timber as being very large. Trees
are 800 feet high and 20 feet in crcum-
ferance Grain plenty. Of the gold,
he says: The gold region is very ex
tensive, and well may it be said, the
mines are inexhaustable; for gold can
be found almost any where on the hill
sides; the whole surface of the earth
seems to be impregnated with il. Not
withstanding all this, it takes hard
ticks to colec, it in piles. The tales you
hear in the States, are all the best--and
no i'll success is ever reported. dc
not suppose the average yield to the
hand, in the mines, can exceed four dol
lars per day; some work for month:
and scarcely make expenses. Two boys
from Oregon came down last summer,
and worked hard ill July, without
being able to more than board and
clothe themselves, when they fortunate
