measure shows in striking light the peculiar at
tributes OF his mind, and gives crrrect idea of the
force and snbtlety Of his faculties.
While at Washington, Mr., McDougall was nom
mated by the Carpenters Hall Convention for
election to Congress. His nomination, as is we'll
known, was not made because he represented the
feelings and opinions of the members of that Con-
vention In consequence of this nomination, some
ofhis pretended friends have endeavored to place
him in a false position but Mr. McDougall has
shown that he is far more adroit than the men who
attempted to entrap him.
From this review Of Mr.. McDougall's career in
California, it is evident that he has claims on the
gratitude of the people of the State No one can
deny that he has served his constituents faithfully
and we'll and it is a merit the more that he does
not call on the people to acknowledge their debts
to him While Senator Gwin is daily reminding
the people how much they owe him, MIR. McDou-
gall quietly pursues his way, supposing he has only
done his duty by doing all he could for the nte-
rests Of California. Senator Gwin seems to think
it an extraordinary thing for public servant to
advance the interests OF his constituents, and by
this very thought betrays the depravity of his po
litical ideas; while Mr.. McDougall appears to
think fidelity to California no such great act as to
call for daily acclamations Of gratitude and praise.
The Empire County argus., 1854-11-18

In speaking Of Senatorial candidates. the Slate
Journal has the following in relation to Gen Me
Dougall;
Among the Senatorial candidates Gen McDougall
stands distinguished by very marked pecularties Of
mind and character. Although he has not been so
prominently before the people Of California as Dr..
Gwin. he has been sufficiently in public life for the
Democracy to understand both his capacity and
his principles.
Mr. DIcDougall first came before the electors of
the State in 1850 as candidate for the Office Of
Attorney General made vacant by the resignation
OF Col. kewen. For this position he was eminent
ly qualified, both by the nature of his mind and 3y
the busy practice Of his profession. Accordingly,
he was elected by large majority although par
tics were not at that time thoroughly organized {;
and his success was due more to bis fitness for the
Office and to his own active exertions than to any
rigog of party action or OF party discipline
While holding the Office Of Attorney General
MIR. A'oDouga performed its duties to the satsfac-
ton of all parties. lie resigned the Office towards
the close Of 1851, and only "a few days before the
expiration Of lis term and from that time up to
the canvass Of 1852 devoted himself almost exclu-
siyey to the practice Of the law. 1t is true, that
during this period he was an active and energetic
member Of The Democratic party. During the win
ter Of 1851, 80, it was supposed he candi-
date for the vacant Senaorship: but when the eec-
ton took place his name was not presented to the
Legislature by his friends. At the time. he was
reported to be favorable to the election of Mr. Bro
derrick and it Is certain he co-cperated with the
latter gentleman in the Sacramento Convention Of
1852
1t will be remembered that in the Sacramento
Convention of 50. there was contest between two
deegations-one headed by Judge Heydenfedt,
then on the Supreme Bench and the other by Judge
Wells since elevated to the same high Court. MIR.
McDougail and Mr. BrodericI supported the dele
cation represented by Jadge Wells and although
they We're refused seats in the Convention, few dis
passionate d0ubtcd that they were the true dele
gates of the San Francisco Democracy
After the February Conventions however, there
was a rupture between McDougall and Broderick,
and the difference created breach in the Democ-
racy Of San francisco county. MIR. NlcDougal be-
came a candidate for the Congressional nomination,
before the Renicia Convention and succeeded in
opposition to the exertions Of MIR. Hammond and
his supporters Mr. Hammond was supported by
Mr. Frederick, although not with much warmth !;
and the events of the last fifteen months will show
with how much gratitude this support has been re-
membered by the present Collector.
During the last session of Congress, Mr.. DcDou-
call has evinced commendable zeal in advancing
the interests of California and Washington. He
assisted most materially in procuring the assump-
ton of the War Debt by the General Government,
and was particularly active in his efforts to forward
the Pacific Railroad His speech on the latter

LINES WRITTEN DURING ILLNESS.
BY L. II. G.

All me! how slowly pass the tagging hours,
Methnks that Time at last has tired him
In following so long his dreary path
And is't not thus though adamantne be his heart,
Cannot we hope, that sight of human ills
And all the sufferngs 'to which flesh is her''
Can e'er within his iron breast one chord
Of sympathy or pity cause to move!
Ten thousand times ten thousand adamant
Must be the heart, that can unmoved, man
Behold between the barbed fangs of death,
Writhing away the last remaining spark.
But no, ah no this pleasant hope of mine,
Like castles built on sand is doomed to fall.
Instead of being softened or relaxed
The monster slacks his pace, the more to enjoy
The pain and suffering, which, the whitening touch
OFFS disease, his cherished progeny,
Has caused me to know, to great extent.
All many pleasures once loved well,
Have lost much of their coveted pleasantness,
Then, Cynthia smiling rolled along her path
But now with dropping lids, she looketh down
With seeming and haggard countenance.
Aurora's perfumed breath and cheerful voice
And twilights silent ''contemplative hour
Gave Joy to me unutterably sweet.
But now how sad the change-a witheriug stalk
Amid the field of corn, the gnawng worm
With greedy appetite s cutting fast,
And soon, the stem that lifted high its head
To catch the golden zephyr as it passed,
May droop, aud fall and mngle with the dust
victim to Unsuitable fate.
Still there is hope-the resurrecting spring
Will rise from out the mold the living germ
That slumbering lay so long, but was not dead
Now. as in health impatient | await
The coming of lovcs missive from affair."
Beyond the burning sands ,and snowy heights,
And unexplored arid trackless fields,
And wild and yawning caves and gloomy Depths
Where elves and genii oft do congregate
And all unseen their midnight orgies hold"
But not my feelings heretofore;
Then, 'through the medium of the pen" came words
Fr ON home, ''like oil upon the troubled deep"
Dispelng care and causing joy more sweet
Than aught beside could waken in my breast;
But now from out the fountain which was scaled,
Fen since the morn said farewell to her,
Come yelling up uncalled for tears, when eer
/ read those words of true unseltish love.
Oh sad indeed the bitter burning cup
OF sorrow which the home-sick invalid
Must often taste with none to sympathize
Or drop tear of pity or regret

TECUMsEHs HoNoR.--A correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press gives some interesting anecdotes
of the great Indian warrior and prophet! Tecum-
sch.
While the enemy in full possession of the
country around Monroe and Detroit, Tecumseh with
large band of his warriors visited the River
Raisin. The inhabitants along the river had been
stripped of nearly every means Of subsistence. Old
MIR. Rivard Ga Frenchman) who was lame, and un-
able by his labor to procure living for himself and
family, had contriyed to keep out Of sight of the
wandering bands Of savages pair Of oXen with
which his was able to procure scanty support
for the family 1t 50 happened that, while at labor
with the oxen, Tecumseh who had come over from
Maiden, met him in the road, and walking up TO
him, said
My friend, | must have those oxen. My young
men are very hungry, and they have nothing to eat.
We must have the OXen.'
Young Rivard demonstrated. He told the chief
that if he took the oxen, his father would starye to
death.
"Well," said Tecumsoh, we are the conquerors,
and everything we want is ours. must have the
oxen; my people must not starve; but viii not be
so mean as to rob you Of them. ] Will pay you one
hundred dollars for them, and that is far more than
they are worth, but we must have them"
1ecumseh got white man to write an order on
the British Indian agent, Col. Elliott, who was on
the river some distance below, for the money. The
oxen were killed, large fires built and the forest
warriors were soon feasting on their flesh.
Young Rivard took the order to Colonel Elliott,
who promptly refused to pay it, saying
''We are entitled to our support from the country
we conquered. | will not pay it."
. The young man. with sorrowtul heart, returned
with the answer to Tccumseh, who said-
"To-morrow we will 90 and see"
In the morning, he took young Rivard, and went
to see the colonel, On meeting him, he said
"Do you refuse to pay for the oxen bought!"
Yes" said the colonel; and he reiterated the
reason for refusal

DR. GwIN AND THE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-Some
weeks ago the people of California were startled
with the intelligence that DR.. Gwin, in travelling
through tho northern part of the State had eyinc-
ed wonderful interest in Mobiles Pass and the Cen
tfal Route for the Pacific Railroad. so the papers
in that section of the State announced; and now we
propose to inquire specifically and in detail, how
the venerable Doctor stands affected in regard to
that same Central Route. Dare he, and will he
declare himself in favor Of the route, and dare he,
and will he promise and engage to to use his every
effort in case he is reelected to the Senate, to
favor that route above all located moro to the
South! We don't believe he will promise any such
thing and we don't believe he will do any such
thing if he does promise it for opinion is that
his interest is opposed to that road, which is the
only one in the building Of which California is m
terested.
win the Doctor state unequyocolly, how he
stands in this matter for the flying reports of the
newspapers as to the great interest he manifested
in Mobiles Pass are very unsatisfactory, since 1t Is
so easy to repudiate newspaper reports, when they
have served their purposes, and 1T becomes more
profitable to take the other side.
Does DR.. Gwin favor the Central Route! That is
the great question; and if he pushed on the mat
ter We opne that he will be puzzled for an answer.
