WEBER CREEK, March 9, 1854.

At meeting of the Democratic voters of this
vicinity upon the question of the election of U. s.
Senator, as successor to the Hon. VIM. NJ Cwn at
the present session of the Legislature, and upon the
subject Of attempt to bribe that portion of the
delegation from Ell Dorado county in favor of said
election at the present session, F. S. ROGERS was
called to the Chair, and NJ GALE appointed Secy.
The meeting was addressed by j. G. Brown OF
Coloma
James Carney Joseph Barry and G. W. Dyer

and resolutions expressive of the sense of the meet
ing. In short time they reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, there has been much said upon the
Senatorial question, and finding that minority are
opposed to the election and that our county officers
finding it convenient to make themselves conspicu-
GUS, being opposed to their actions and in favor
of supporting ma jority of our Representatives in
the Legislature we deem it proper to offer the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That we are much surprised that our
county officers see fit to interfere in this contest and
attempt to brow beat Representatives in both
Houses and that we condemn their actions in the
same.
Resolved That we support our majority in the
Legislature in regard to tie Senatorial question
Resolved That we heartily approve Of the high
and honorable course our members have taken to
unmask bribery and corruption.
Resolved That we approve Of the bold and indc-
pendent course Of the Empire County Argus printed
in Coloma, for the manly position it has taken in
support Of our Delegation
AeSolred, That we extend our thanks to our
Members Of the Legislature.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
!e published in the Empire Co,1tty 1rg,.s. the Nj

ARRIVAL OF THE GOLIAH.

he steamer GUlah arrived at San Francisco on
Thursday last.
The Goliah left at San Diego the u S. sloop of
war Portsmouth and steamer Columbus, to sail next
day for the Gulf of California, in search of the
Fillibustors
Col. Babhitt Secretary of Utah Territory came
up in the Goliah on his way to Washington. He
left Salt Lake on the 4th February, and when seven
days out from Utah, Col. Babbitt encountered Col
Fremont who was making his way by the central
route to San Francisco.
Fremont had lost seven Of his men by starvation
and exposure. His party, when ovortaken by Col
Babbtt, were subssting on dog and pint of -four
given them by Anon the Utah Chief brother of
Walker. The night the two parties met, one of
Fremonts men had dropped from his horse dead
Fremont was overtaken in larcan Valley, and
had with him some fourteen men seven or eight of
them being Delaware Indians
When Col. Babbitt left he was still determined to
make his way through; but the Col. thinks he will
have great difficulty in doing so, the route which
he has taken is almost lmpracticable on account of
the snow and other obstacles. He furnished him
with such provisions and other necessarIes as he
could spare.
COL Fremonts party were compelled to eat egh-
teen OF their mules
After Walker left Enseneda he proceeded tow
ards Santa Thomas and San Vancenta The force
which was then short of l40, is now reduced to
some 90 men by daily deserton
The sloop OF war Portsmouth arrived at Todas
Sanas bay on the 5th of March, from down the
coast. She was visited by several of the Lower
Californians, who complained bitterly Of the out.
RACES which had been perpetrated upon their per-
sons and property by the maraudcrs of this invading
party.
Stragglers are coming in daily from Walkers
party and all agree that they have been beguiled
and that the whole movement was an absurd one.

VIVE LA BAGATELLE.

France-thc erratic and enthusiastic Francois
about losing caste in her ayortc character of hare-
quin. powerful rival has sprung up on the Pa
cihc slope, eclipsing all competition, and making
majestic strides to seize universal empire. In its
corruscatons it far outshnes its prototype and tutor
in waywardness and folly. Vive Ia BacateNe!
In our legislative halls--that Sanhedrim of wis
dom and intellect-the focus and radius of political
and intellectual intelligence, this spirit is seeking
to obtain dominion, and to thwart Legitimate action
on one of the duties devolving upon it, is rampant,
and the wangs for the people, whom they despise,
yet affect to love- is one of the principal songs on
their tongues Vtre Ia bagatellet
To nearer home, and take the mountain
counties for an example. You will ,hrrc find the
pure essence of spirit 6f the French nat n embodied
in few--very few individuals, who have, perhaps,
obtained place and political prefermcnt these per
sons affect great Importance, and play the Sir Oracle
with pomp as dazzling as might be expected from
the talent and capacity Of the individuals in ques-
ton. Tiue Ia bagatel2c!
Select a man for county of6ce--take him from
the subordinate walks of hfe-oc q fair capacity and
an inordinate opinion Of his own sef-importance
and shortly he will claim to be the moutl.piece of
the people, and assumes that nothing but what en,-
anate from and is promulgcd by him is legitimate
Vire Ia bagateVe!
See that Judge upon the bench He presides
with dignity, and his decisions are marked with
ability; yet when he leaves his legal pursuits and
mixes in the political ARENA he plays part foreign
to his duties and loudly proclaims rtre Ia bagateIe
Visit that knot of politicians perhaps they may
be consregated around court house. See the
anxiety which clouds their brows as they discuss
the Senatorial question There has been rebellion
against their mandates in the Legislative Halls and
the people are wheeling into line with the rebclious
Members. crisis is at hand Desperation seems
stamped on every countenance, and cxcruciating
agony shakes the frame. Anon an ulea flashes thro
the brain of the most subtle. He communicates it
to the rest. A smile lights up the hitherto quiver
Ing lips of the conclase, Ihry separate; and with
deperate energy commence the work of manufactu-
ring public opinion. Arc they successful! (! They
claim to be. TIre la Jagaelle!
But see! There is another move or the tapis.-
The people perverse, and think and act for them
selve. The case is desperate, hopelessy So Prompt
measures must be taken to turn the course of events
Maddened to blindness an attempt is made to pur
chase portion of the Senate. It>fails and odium
is heaped upon the guilty party. Surely we are
great--a magnificent people. Vtre la Jagatele!
