What they think Abroad.

We copy the following from the Daily
Transcript, a paper published at Ports
mouth, Norfolk county, Virginia.:
The Legislature of California is now in
session, and it is the endeavor Of the fac
tious opponents Of Senator Gwin to bring
on the election of u S. Senator prema-
turely. Mr.. David Broderick is filed
with Senatorial aspirations, and has boast
ed that if million dollars could accom-
plish the defeat of Doctor Gwin, and his
own elevation, that that sum should be
poured out as free as water. We are
sorry to learn from the last California pa
pers that "King David" Gas he is called J.,
Is putting his money "to such base uses :"
disclosure is made Of an attempt to
bribe a State Senator with five thousand
dollars for his vote; with an additional
five thousand to bestow upon a certain
other Senator who was deemed purchase
able. The glitter of the gold; we are
happy to say, could not blind this Califor-
MIA legislator to his duty and his honor;
he not only Indignantly repeIled the bribe,
but, the account says, made an affidavit of
the circumstances before Magistrate.
The effect Of this exposure upon the pub
lie mind we have not yet learned; but it
must be like all base attempts to detraud
the people of a fair expression of opinion,
overwhem the enemies of Senator Gwin
with a f'rightful avalanche of condemna-
ton. Honesty will prevail; the selection
of y. s. Senator viii be left where it be-
longs, to the nert Legislature, which will
come fresh from the people, instructed on
this point, and they will know their inter-
ests too well not to return to Washington
their present interchangeable Senator, who
has done and can do more for his constit
uency than any man in Congress.

INHABIANTs OF THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
From Capt. McClure's dispatch to the
British Admiralty, we make the following
interesting extracts:
August 1th-ln the morning the wealth
er cleared little, and discovered to US
jones' Island An erect piece of wood on.
the shore attracted the attention of the
officer of the watch; boat was sent to
examine it, when it appeared to be piece
of drift wood which had been squeezed up
by the ice The shore was strewed with
mast, and 45 feet in length. We erected
a carn and left a notice. In the forenoon
about 80 natives came off in two baiders,
from whom we obtained some fish and
ducks in exchange for little tobacco
They had been about two months on the
coast, and trade with the Russian Fur
Company.
Their surprise of course was very great,
particularly at the size of oar handkerchief
(the sails the whaleboats attracted their
attention, and they asked if trees grew in
our country sufficiently large enough to
make them The head man possessed
gun, with "Barnett, 1S4O,'' upon the lock; !;
this he obtained from the Russians. As
a fair specimen of the observation ofthese
people and their aptitude for trade, the
following may be administering that we
cut the tobacco into peices to give in ex-
change for their fish (salmon trout,) they
began to do the same with the fish. This
however, we would not admit, so they
were obliged to come to our terms.
During the afternoon, while standing
along a low fiat island we observed flag
Ga pair of sealskin ineXpressibles) upon
a lofty pole, and number Of natives
around it; we stood for them, but when
the boats were pulled in they appeared to
regret their temerity, for down came the
seal-skin and away they ran; shortly gain
ing courage they returned, and as we ap-
preached, arranged themselves in line
upon the beach, and commenced extend
ing their arms above their head (typical
of friendship,) which being answered
from the boats, perfectly assured them OF
our amicable intentions. Upon landing
they evinced "a most manly confidence by
rubbing noses, and embracing most vlgor-
ousy; these were very ceanIy, so that
the operation was not so unpleasant as 1t
otherwise might have been.

EPIC PoETRY.-The Lincoln Demo-
crat publishes two lines of the great epic
upon Gen. Jackson. written by a western
bard:
"When you see their eyes glsten, then my
men fire,
We're the last dying words of A. Jackson,
Esquire.
Also revives lament for Alexander Ham
go! Aaron Burr, what hav you dun.
You've shot great General Hamiltun,
You got behind a bunch of thistles,
And shot him dead with tn hoss pistols "
down east bard has the following as
on Grafton on a presidential successlon:
Come on, brave boys, with good intent,
And fire the guns of government;
You load and I'll tend vent,
Touch her off and let her vent
The following horizontal musings of
loafing tippIer deserve to be perpetuated.
Hear the wail:-
''Leaves have their time to fall,
And so likewise have |;
The reason, too's, the same-it
Comes Of getting dry;
But here's the difference 'twixt leaves and

qualities and colors, have been discovered

MASON DIXON LINE--In the seven
teenth century, James IL, of England,
then the Duke of York, gave certain
lands to Lord Baltimore and to William
Penn, and difficulty soon sprang up as
to the propar owner Of these lands on the
Delaware. Again and again was the
affair carried into the Courts, till the year
1850, when George the II! came to the
crown, the Lord Chancellor of England
made decision; but new difficulties
sprang up in drawing the boundary lines.
The Commissioners finally employed
Messrs. Mason and Dixon, who had just
returned from the Cape of Good Hope,
where they had been to observe the tram
sits of Venus. They succeeded in estab-
fishing the line between Delaware and
Maryland, which has ever since been
called "Mason and Dixon's Line"
