"Uncle Gwn's" speech were supplied to all the
he overlooked. The Democrat it must be remem
bered, is Douglas paper, but the editor wished
some of Gwin's speeches to circulate among his
subscribers. knowing it would benefit the Doug
las cause. Straightway he issued a supplement
(Which he says will be furnished city papers al
the usual rates,) containing the "Speeeh of Sen
ator Gwin, to be delivered at Stockton, on We'd
nesday, Nov. 7th 1860. We know Forbes was

Douglas is opposed to Pacific railroad. He

knows--that he Is the ablest man in the Union,
aud if he had let us alone on that Kansas busi-

[Groansl have for years given this subject
my careful study and though have continued
to play my hand high for slavery, have never
theess been a long time convinced that freedom
is the thing and now desire to give evidence,
by my future course, that, though late coming,
am sincere. Allow me, my Christian hearers, to
rofer you, in this connection to the parable OF
the Vineyard. To the viruous mind, the fact of
having borne the burden and heat of the day is
no recommendation. To whatever position in
our new republic you may call me, will serve
you with all my heart am Of you, and with
little my recent course may be-
seem the fact. "Wby have often wished my
self poorer, that | might come nearer to you.
We are born TO do benefits" In Offering my SER
vsces to the new Pacific republic which hope to
see, ask not to be the dispenser OF patronage to
other men
"Immortal Gods, | crave no pelf
pray for no man but myself
Grant may never prove so fond.
To trust man on bis oath or bond"
AsI had occasion to remark on the 10th of
January, 1857, the men paid best for were my
worst frends-from whom 1t took the giant arm
of the Iamented Broderck TO save me. Voice
-Terryi1 Hold, there Call no such name to
me. Thou canst not say did it," Poor, dear
Broderick my heart bleeds for him ! AS was
saying "My participation in the distribution
of this patronage has been the source Of number
less ISLANDERS upon me- that have fostered pref
udice in the public mind against me, aud have
created enmities that have been destructive to
my happiness and peace Of mind for years. 1t
has entailed untold evils upon me-" From
patronage, then, aud the curse it entails, shall
gladly in future turn, and my sole labor and am
hilton henceforth shall be TO deserve well OF the
State" [Cheers.]
