the Grinnell Artie Expedition was fitted out,
and whose son, c. Grinnell, accompanied
Lady Franklin on her voyage to this coun-

Canada, probably in time to witness the re-
eeption of the Prince of Wales, and will
then travel through the Northern States, and
very likely extend her journey to California.
She desires to avoid public attention as much

Senator Gwin's Speech.

Col Hatch said, the other day, in the Sc
crders Convention Of this county, that certain
Administration men in this town went to
Senator Gwin, on his arrival in this city, du
ring the last campaign, aud told him that it
would iuiure the cause for him to speak.
The inference was Of course that his reputa-
tion was such that the least he said for their
side the better. Gwin spoke anyhow. We don't
know whether he has been likewise request
ej, during this canvass. to keep silent or not.
At any rate, he is in the field, and made his
first speech at Stockton, ON Wednesday night
last.
Almost the first thing he said or very plainly
intimated at least, was that his course had
been endorsed by the people Of California in
the last campaign We recollect very dis
unctly telling our readers that the success of
the Administration ticket in that contest
would be set down as an endorsement of DR.
Gwin. 1t seems that he understood it in the
same way This self congratulatory part of
his speech was loudly applauded by the
Stocktonian Breckinridgers. So we suppose
the Stoektonian Breckinridgers still endorse
Gwir,
A large portion of the Doctors remarks
was devoted to defense of himself against
the charge of being the Daily Overland Mail
Killer. We shall examine that defense more
particularly hereafter We have not the
time now.
His explanation of his failure or neglect to
urge through the Pacific Railroad is of small
benefit either TO himself or his party. lie tries
to justify himself by throwing the blame on
the Senate The Senate has been all along COM
posed ofa majority of men who are for Buck d
Breckinridge Either win has no influence
with the Senators of his own party never ex-
erted that influence if he had it, or the
Breckenridge party, as represented in the
Senate, were wholly opposed, according to
! his own admission, to Pacific Railroad
That they are opposed is pretty clear. The
same party, in their late State Convention in
Virginia, it appears, actually ado ted for
NAL resolution in opposition to that railroad
The balance ofhis speech is buncombe and
Misrepresentation. He says, for one thing
that there is no regular nominee of the Dem
ocratic party. That is to say, he enuuciate;
the idea that a fraction of a Convention car
break up the Convention and prevent NOM
nation. One hundred men, fifty men, TWEEN
ty five men, one man, can prevent a nomina-
tion 10y simply retiring from a Convention
Was there ever a more glaring absurdity?
1t is very clear We think all through thi
speech, that Swim believes he has the gooC
will of his party. We believe so, too, an,
we believe they will endeavor to sustain him
Marx our words. If that party succeeds
Gwin goes to the Senate.

Sturk. who is a Star on the boards of any
theatre in the world Where Mr.. Stark fails
