The VICE PRESIDENT -'Iren@us," of the
New York Observer, who is travelling at the
South, was lately guest at a wedding in
Lexington. Ky, where he met the Hon. J.
c. Breckenridge, Vice President of the Uni
ted States. lie thus describes his person,
manners and domestic state:
''John G Breckenridge, Vice President of
the United States, was guest at the we'd
ding. The rough portraits Of him that stared
everybody in the face last fall, give but "a
poor likeness of this extraordinary man,
who at a youthful period of life uaexampled
has been called to preside over the most au-
gust body of men in this country. His form
is tall, erect and commanding; his counte-
nance thoughtful; his manners smooth and
graceful, and his conversation indicates a
sober, intelligent and thinking man. With
a lovely and accomplished wife and sweet
children, ne resides in model cottage, but
one story high, shaded deeply with old trees
n little way out Of town. | could not but
admire the simplicity of our republican in
stitutions, when | saw that this great people
had come TO this embowered cot to find a
man to preside over its Senate, and perhaps
TO fill its chair of State.

Honey Lake va. Carson valley.

Every cmigrant whom we have converssd
with upon the subject, aud those have made
themselves interested in the matter, have
averred that the whole efforts of Mr.. Com
missioner Kirk and those OF his clan, are di-
rected toward influencing the emigrants
crossing the plains, to the Carson Valley
route, and discouraging them from under
taking the Honey Lake Road. These sug-
gestions have been adopted bp large share
of the emigrants, simply because they were
unacquainted with the various roads, and
relied upon the judgment of others to direct
them. few, however, have learned by
experience, that representations made by
these unscrupulous men are founded upon
interested motives, and not upon truth, or
the real interests Of the emigrant. such
have disregarded the appeals made to their
credulity, and acting upon an actual knowl'
edge of the ''lay of the land" have driven
their stock, and directed their course and
that of their friends over the great natural
highway via. Honey Lake.
Now-in spirit of real fairness--is this
ance with the purport and letter of his real
and implied Instructions Is it not most
unwarrantable lack of honor and honesty
that directs government officer to so un
just and improper a discharge of his duties
as to nuke his official capacity means of
featbering his own nest,to tie detriment of
an entire community?
Wo have no desire to injure Mr. Kirk nor
his character as an agent of the government,
but he has been represented to US as most
ardent advocate of the Carson Valley Road,
and at the same time as vehement assailant
of the Honey Lake route. If he is using his
salaried time to such purpose--and we are
led to think he is--the authorities at Wash
ington should remove him, and place an hon
est, conscientious officer in his place
There are strong reasons for believing that
Mr. Kirk has acted as he is accused He is
known to hold large interests in and about
Placerville, and his strenuous efforts to di
rect the emigration thitherward, create the
belief that his tme--which by virtue of his
Office is not his own, and should be applied
to no other purpose than to ensure the best
interests of the State and General govern
msnt--has been sed tor his own emolument
and the advancement Of route vastly infe
ror to the one he decries
whole State cries out against this one
man. one faction, interest. A hundred score
of indignant emgrants raise their voices in
bitter denuncations of deceitful trick
which has been practsed upon them. Kirk,
Ell Dorado and Sacrament perhaps, altogeth-
er, demand the Carson Valley road, and
Kirk and his allies are out upon the plains
using government money and government
stock to force it upon the people. We be-
ieve in fair representation of all interests
by State or government officer, and such
should be granted us. though favorite ap.
po ntee should be bereft of his Office. Give
the Honey Lake road faiI showing that
is all we ask--but in the name of the emf
grant, and for the welfare of the State let
not the funds and agents Of the general CAV
ernment be arrayed against it.
