In the glorious conquest OF Illinois He paid, several
times, for army supplies, much more than he
worth al the time OF the conquest OF the country but his
talents and energies enabled him to become wealthy
again.
Al the me both Virginia and the colonies, and for
long time alter, unable refund TO him the amount
OF money he generously expended in the conquest Of IL
nos and In fact not much, If any, has been paid
back 10 him his family by the government to this day
"Virgins, always noble and generous in her councils,
agreed 10 give Graot thirty thousand OF land the
southeast bank OF the Ohio, including the city Of
Louisve but before the grant completed Kentucky
was organized as State the country, aud the prom
ise to Graot was never competed-more for the want of
application than otherwise.
The general assembly of Virginia placed the claims Of
Gratio on the list 10 be paid prior many other debts but
his claims remain unpaid with many others of similar
character, TO the present time.
Not only the operations OF the army under Gen Clark
would have been crippled for the of supplies, il Gra-
tlo and others had given them but the various
ties made by that great and talented general tClar would
not have been SO favorable ii II for the
aid these great and eminent patriots afforded him.
Wben Graot his country tree from British despot
ism, and his exertions for the Independence of America
ned with success he retired from the public service,
and confined himself domestic enjoyments AL
though he employed his exerons and expended his for
for the emancipation of his country without pecun-
airy compensation yet bis heart exuted with great 10y to
the colonies ee which superior any other pay
ment that earth could bestow on him."

Standardization in California.

The California journals brought by the last arrival
are filled with complaints Of the inefciency of the ad
minstraon in the matter OF the due protection OF our
citizens there from Indian depreciation and
The Shasta Courier, in a temperate and well-written
article evidently not seeking TO exaggcrate the fault OF
the government agents,) has the following remarks.
They show remssness and ncompetency the part Of
the administration in the discharge OF its most sacred
duties, which should arouse the Indignation OF the
country
"We have been furnished by good authority with an
mpec list OF who have lost their lives the hands
of the Indians in Trinity and klamath counties Within
the months the of twenty American citizens
recoeced who have been mastered In those
es The truth, could it be arrived at, would probably
greatly increase that number In Trinity county, during
the same time, many two hundred mules have been
stolen The loss Of stock in Klsnath has probably
been equally great. In this county as many as thirty
animals have been stolen during the past few weeks The
loss life in Shasta has also been greaprobaby equal to
that in Trinity and klamath counties.
"These depedations have been the work Of months,
yet but little has been done by the general State gov
eminent for relief Instead Of being regarded inn
poant section of the State situated under circumstances
of pee emba and there fore worthy OF fostering
attention from the federal governmentnstead of being
ghened and protected by her powerful am-we have
been the recipients the cruel and criminal nder-
her hands. Instead OF being looked upon by our
government citizens whose lives and property she is in
duty bound to protect we nave been abandoned 10 the re-
eness ncusions Of the savage and have been compelled
TO rely upon meagre for safety. They
look upon these difficulties species Of disease
which hand OF time will remedy, without stopping
consider that If The agents of do not promptly
act there will be frightfu sacrifice of human life.
"The agents of the general government, clothed with
Pile authority in Indian affairs have displayed studied
disregard the harassing relation existing between the
Americans and Indians Of the North In fact would
not wrong saying that they had been somewhat
mi md throughout
charge Of those high and important duties with which they
have been ntrnsted The vain hope has been
by citizens that the tale Of constantly recurring murders
would finally rouse them from their lethargy."

Speech Of senator Gwin.

In another part OF this days paper we give the very
able speech OF Senator Gwin in reply to the attempted
defence OF the administration by Senator Pearce in re-
gard TO the management of affairs in California
Senator Gwin comments with great force upon the
appointment Of Mr.. King TO the colectorship; upon
the official conduct of Mr.. Collier in that office;
upon the strange mission of General Wilson, and
the subsequent creation OF an Office for him. upon
the enormous expenditures consequent upon the seec-
ton OF Benica as naval and military depot upon
the Illegal management of the notorious civil fund
and upon the Indian treaties and the anomalous and IL
legal policy pursued under them The points made by
Senator Gwn in regard TO these matters will excite
large share OF public attention, showing the exaor-
binary abuses which have marked the administration of
the general government in California. We commend the
speech TO The careful attention of our readers II forms
an important chapter in the bill of Indictment for gross
Encouragement in regard TO The public expenditures,
upon which during the coming canvass the wing policy
OF the past four years will be aagned and condemned

The national Position Of the Democratic Party.

In relation TO this subject we copy with pleasure the
following paragraph from spirited article in the Athens
(Georgia) Banner
"DEAocRATs STILL MARCHING uP-While the WING party
OF the North almost everywhere eeang as far as pos
sbe from the line of the fnsiy Of the Compromise now
almost universally demanded by the southern people, II al
ords great pleasure national democrats march
ing up the line, We have received from friend at
Washington copy Of late number OF the Boston Post,
containing admirable letter to the editor Of that print
the signature of Democrat in Washington, whom
suppose 10 be leading friend OF Mr. buchanan, froa
the State OF Pennsylvania, resident at Wafhingon In
which the writer says.
"Ihs great approaching canpdss Is the faafity
Of the compromise measures On this the democracy VIII
ic national wings should join the democratic party In
sustaining the Compromise and crushing this miserable
agitation OF the slavery question: which has become an IN
toerabe and dangerous nuisance to all sections OF me
Union
"Ths is the right kind OF language from northern DEM
Ii Is cheering the hearts OF his southern friends
If backed indca that will be, by the
Democratic National Convention IL will speak like trum
petca The hearts OF the almost entire southern people
Yes the great body of the glorious old northern democ
racy giving evidence every variety OF form OF their
determination march up to the line demanded by every
consideration of patriotism and OF duty"
The contrast 10 this state OF things in the democratic
ranks which is presented by the organization and policy
OF the wing party is well brought out in the following
statement copied from recent number OF the Pennsyl
vanan
"We know it is alleged that there sectionasts In
both pares-tat there ee-sol democrats as well a.
reesoil wings Alas this petext is not even plausible
The free-solers and the aboionss in the wing rank,
make NJ the creed and master the movements and selec
candidates of the wing party while the free soiler in
the democratic ranks completely subsevient to grea
national principles and etectnay and constantly con
o!led by the party the creed Of which is
as il has been, unchangng affection for and vigan
p over the national constitution The philoso
ply of the thing that sectonam is the rcsistes rule
in the wing party, while It Is the marked and powerles
exception in the deRocratic party"

A Home Thrust.

The Savannah Republican hits the sore point OF the
wing movement for Gen Scott in the following pointed
terms
:" There may be policy, but are unable to discover
any ankness patriotism, in Gen. SCOTS present posi-
ton. The fact that he remains silent the suggestion
his friends North is evidence ths he Is shaping his 40
suit them Will he not do the II elected Presi.

This view OF the matter must be deemed TO be unan-'
swerableat least until plausible attempt shall be
made by the Scott organs to answer it.
