Lincoln to Ceutraiia, arrived recently in san
francisco on the ship Morning Light II viii
be laid down as soon as the track Of the Cali
fornia Central Railroad is completed to Lin
coin as il cannot be delivered before. The
grading to Lincoln was finished months aro.
and the iron has been laid about half the dis
ance. G. l.. Wilson, contractor and pretty
much owner, completed all his arrangements
some time since for the iron, rolling stock,
etc, to complete the road TO Marysyille, but
has been detained in New York by severe
attack of sickness. As soon as able to travel,
he was to sail for California. His presence
here is much needed. The entire quantity
$50 tons-of iron, chairs etc, fer the seven
miles extension to Centralia, is now on the
way, and will arrive probably before the
road is completed between Folsom and Lin
coin. Nothing is now lacking but the pres
ence Of G. L. Wilson to insure the completing
of the Central road to Marysyille and the
seven miles extension to Centralia, within
few months.-Sac. Jlion

JAMS MApisov.-The New York Times
recently published a correspondence be-
tween Hamilton and Madison, which would
seem to indicate the opinion on secession of
those who framed the Constitution, as far as
the opinion can BE cons,dered as represented
by Madison. The present champions forget,
saws the Times, that this very question was
raised and decided before the adoption of the
the Constitution. New York was IN
willing to accept that Instrument and Join
the Union which it created, unless She could
terminate her connection with it at pleasure
Her proposal was to join for i've or six years
with the right then to withdraw if she de-
sired. Alexander Hamilton was inclined to
favor the compromise, and wrote TO Madison
IN regard to it from Poughkeepsie, July,
l7SS. in these terms:
You viii understand that the only quail
hcauon will be the reservation of "a right to
reeede, in case our amendments have not
been decided upon, in one Of the modes
pointed out by the Constitution, within GER
tain number of years. perhaps five or seven.
Ii this can, in the first instance, Ue admitted
as n ratification | do not fear any further
consequences Congress will, presume rec
ommend certain amendments to render the
structure OF the government more secure
| This will satisfy the more considerate and
honest opposers of the Constitution, and with
/ the aid ofthem will break mp the party.

M Dear Sir Yours of yesterday Is this

alton obliges you to listen to propositions of
the nature You describe. My opinion is that
a reservation of right to withdraw, If
amendments be not decided ON under the
form of the Constitution within certain
time is a conditional ratification; that it does
not make New York a member Of the new
Union, and, consequently, that she should dnot

reciprocal the principle would rot in such
case he preserved. The constitution requires
an adoption in toto and forever 1t has been
SO adopted by the other States. An adoption
for limited time would be as defective as
IN adoption Of some of the articles only. In
short, any condition whatever must yitiate
the ratification
What the new Congress, by Virtue of the
power to admit new States, may be able and
disposed to do in such case, do not in
quire, and | suppose that is not the material
point at present l have not moment TO
add more than my fervent wishes for your
success and happiness The idea of reserying
the right to withdraw was started at Rich
mond, and considered as a conditional ratifi-
cation, W which was itself abandoued-worse
than rejection. Yours. JAMES MADISON.

Lincoln and Douglas.

A citizen of Roxbury, Mass, who was
present at discussion between Messrs.
Lincoln and Douglas at Ottawa, Lasalle
County, III, on the FIRST Of August, 1858,
writes an account Of the affair TO The
Roxbury Journal After referring TO
the personal appearance Of the two
men, he says
"Mr. Douglas power as an orator
was much less than we had anticipated.
Thore was no nice discrimination Of the
point at issue, so developed and defend
cd as to be seen and acquiesced in by
those who heard, as we had anticipated.
There was no elegance Of diotion, no
well turned OF finely rounded periods;
no corruscations or brilliant scintlla-
tions Of wit to eleotrify his audience
nor any deep-dowing pathos to take
hold Of their hearts and to carry them
away from themselves, He approacho,
his subject as the smith docs the heated
iron on his anvil, and follows up blow
after blow; or like a mastiGs hold of ,
root, pulling and tugging as if deter
mined never 10 loosen his grip lie is
however, neither logical nor rhetorical

Iproaches, aud browbsats his adverse
ries. He hurls abusive opithets, indul

.ges in personalities, appeals to the
preiudices Of his adhoreHts, and grossly
caricaturcs the party and the principles
he assoils. His whole efforts seemed to
be to hold up Mr. Lincoln and his par
ty in a false light, os seekers of the dis
solution Of this Union, and rs advo-
Gates Of the social equality and amalga-
nation Of differing races. We could
regard his effort only as a political
TRADE, which might be INDUCED ia by
a third rate practitioner at the bar, but
entirely unbecoming and not to be look
cd for in one who had attained to Sen
atorial dignity.
GAS Mr.. Lincoln arose 10 reply, then
began his eye to glisten, and his counte-
nance to beam with intelligence. As
he there stood he was higher than any
of the people from his shoulders and
upward Tie was selfpossossed, and
perfectly al case As he addressed the
audience, the clear tones of his voice
sounded forth to the extremity Of tho
crowd, who could all hear with perfect
ease, while Mr.. Douglas, because of his
hoarseness could be heard only a few
rods from the stand lie first took
up the issues Mr.. Douglas had made,
Strengthened them out, and brushed
them away like so many cobwebsj
and then entered into a masterly de-
louse Of the Republican principles. Tie
was, unlike Mr. Douglas, courteous and
gentlemanly in all his references to his
opponent, and to the principles which
he combated. He appealed solely to
/ the reason Of his hearers and never to
their preiudices He preserved his
temper perfectly, and replied with hu-
NOR and effectively to Douglas per
sonal allegations; and when he walked
into Douglas personally, he shaved him
with q keen and polished blade. He
was not destitute Of wit, and his ready
and pointed turns told on the ears Of
. his audience, whose frequent response
was, "Hit him agaiun He had greatly
the advantage in the debate; but that
was partly owing to his being in q Sec
ton of the State where his party was
greatly in the ascendancy. The upturn-
ed faces of the immense auditorv-v0-
riously estimated at from 10000 to 90,
'OOO-showed them to be, five to one,
enthusiastically listening to his words
And when he retired from the stand,
they caught him upon their shoulders,
and the last We saw Of him, his tall form
was disappearing in the distance, ap-
parently seated upon the heads of the
crowd. S. B."

UNCHARITABLE NATUREs.-Rev. q

truth
"The larger the nature the larger the
love. Little, meau natures are unchar-
table natures. Find a man that is
doubtful as to the virtue Of his fellow.

is a meaa man himself. The mau that

for his fellow.men; who is in perpetual
fear that he shall be cheated by them
