The dec lion,' under these circumstances, devolving on tho House, Adams received the voles of 43 States, Jackson of 7, and Crawford of 4. n 1828, Jackson was chosen by the popu lar voice';' obtaining 173. electoral 'votes 'out of the 261, which then constituted the electoral college. In 1832 Jackson w:w again chosen by the jinpular voice, and this time ly an even greater majority, re. eivin" 170 electoral votes more than hi opponent, Henry Clay. This brings us up to 1530, or twenty 'years ago.- In that year Van Burn, tho' elected .

Dear Sir I have your note of the 1 lib inst., with -Mr. riuiuer's remarks about the profanity of Washington, nnd especially as used to Lee at the bal'laaf Moumoiilh. The sulj.cl carries, my mind back to sehoolboy t!ny, when, with othor Imys, I lad a place iu tho procession at tho obse quies of Washington on Taunton Green. i'ho impression then made promoted in quiry in after life. I have among my pa- peri the Irinl of Gen. Cha. Lee, of which court martial vour grandfather was n mem- r. That trial records no unbecoming language iu nny interviow between Wash. inittnu and Lee. I hud long ago heiud of Washington's using harsh language to Lee at Monmouth; and, having in 180-1 a let ter of iniroduc'ion lo Um. Mar-hall nt Richmond, I inquired as to ihe facts. The General said that the story of course Inn. gunge between Washington and Lcn mas nut true. 1 Gen. Marshall was a captain on the field of Monmouth, and near Wash ington, lie staled that Lee's language was lecorous, and thut Washington's manner and language w'ere austere, but not pro fane. My father was introduced to Welli ngton by Gen. Lincoln iu 17-t at Mount Vernon, nnd s aw Gen. Washington ul Gen. loberdeuu'a and at Mr. llooe's, in Alexan. ria. His remark on Washington's man ner and' conversation was that i hey were far from familiar, though poli'e, and that there was a grandeur in his aspect. Iu the piVsence of my father I heard (Sen. Cobb, mi niii.iic-tamp of Washington's, reniaik i lint il was not easy lo Li-familiar widi Washington, and lliuthe was choice iu his language and very rarely peisonal iu his observations. . . '. Iu the year 1803 I was in Albany with my then chief, Col. Williams, mid there? heard (Jen. Alexander Hamilton say to Gen. Schuyler and Col. Williams that the story of Gen. Washington's profanity nt Fort Lee on a visit of inspection was not tntt." Washington was disappointed nt not (hiding tho commandant at his post, and expressed his displeasiirn in strong language, but not with an oath. While a member of Gen. Tho. Pinckney' mililsiy family in South Carolina, in 1612, I h-aid bis brother, Gen. C. C. Pinckney, frequently mention conversations with Gen. Washington.-- He said that he was habitually grave in discourse, cautions in expression, slow ami accurate in iudirnieiit. but with ... - rf r- - intimate fiieiids ray, ihuiigh rarely joco-. Now.

Thn name ''California'- is found in the hisiory of the conquest of Mexico hy Hernul Diaz, a companion of Cortez. Hut thero it is only applied to a bay. Hy nnd by il was given lo the whole country north of thai bur. lis origin is uncertain. Some learned men started tho opinion that il ought to he derived from the Lnt in "Culida furnax," (n hot oven,) and that it was given to the rocky peninsula be cnuso the first discoverers sullered there much from the heat. Some other deriva tions of the name California from tho La tin may bo found in Clavigero's history of Mexico, in puragrnidi first. Clavigero makes the remark that Cortez was very fond of such Latin words. 1'iohnhly it is a misunderstood or a corrupted Indian name. Because- it was for n long time sup posed that il was a largo island, and that many small islands belonged lo it, some called ihe country "La Califoriiias," (ihu Cali Torn ins.) Ono hundred end thirty years afier CoHefc, after tho middle of the seventeenth century, some geographers called thoso supposed Culifornian islands "Lias Carolina," (King Charles Islands,) iu honor lo Charles II., King nf Spuin, who intended lo conquer the whole. What wo now call '-Upper Califimia" was culled by thn geographers of the six teenth century 'Qiiivira," from a supposed ricl! kingdom of ihis name,' Thn northern pari of this same Upper California and of i our Oregon Territory was called ( 1579) by Sir l'Vanois Drake '-Nova Albion,-' and this niium w'as pretty gen-rally adopted by the l-j'irojtt'n g- ogruphers. except lie Spanish. Il was extended, by and by, over the whole, of Or. gin ami Upper Cali fornia. The name ' Upper California or New California" (Calif rnia Niieva) sprung into exislenc- when the Franciscan missionaries, since 1709. made se tl.-iuenls to the north of thn old California Peninsula. They oiled "California Nu-va" ihe whole Pa cific slope as far north as it b"came known to them. Since 1910, since the so called Florida treaty, lli. northern boundaries of New California were fixed at the 42d d.-gree of latitude, and tli-n noon the more northern part b-gan to be tailed tho ''Oregon rou:itry. Since the conquest e,, cession of the province to the United Slates, sine 1847. l! souih'-rn boundaries were fixed at laii Ud 32 33, We no crneraU call ihe country only "California."

' '. , . The Dutch whalemen above nnd around the Island of Spilzhergen have often push ed through the drift ice into open spaces of sea toward thn l'ole, and liaron Von Wreiigel, went forty miles from lbs coast of Arctic Asia saw, as he thought, a " vast, illimitable ocean" beyond, and we doubt not many navigators, without bring awaro of the fact, have really been in lliis sen, bul who did not dare venture further to. w ard this mi.vt-riuii Pole. ' Dr. ScoiCsby, 11 uiong others, may bo mentioned as one who has been within its area. ' This vet- eian A'ctio navigator was engaged for more than thir'y years iulho Greenland fishery, and discovered the const, und served on lha eastern sidu which bears his name. On ibis occasion he passed the puck of flouting ice, by keeping near the Greenland coast, and found himself in open waier beyond. Had ho been prcpaircd lo pursue his voyage, hit might havo pushed on n-nrer tho polo than nny other naviga tor before or since, but hit did not dare to venture beyond a point from which he was uncertain of escaping before the season had passed, and therefore- retreated through the pucK. dipt. Parry, in his well known host voy age, attempted to cross this floating ice, and was well provided fir the purpose ; bul it w'as unfortunately harder and rougher t hnn he auticipuied, and, although making progress ' iiorthwuid over the drift, he found that il was 'actually bearing him southward. The' projectois of that ex pedition thought ihe plan tho most feasible ono to reach the l'ole, entertaining the belief that if they could pass this floating ice, they could. Cod an open sea beyond. It must here be .remarked that in the Summer, north winds prevail in those sens; nnd niifed hy a strong current setting to thcsonih, tho whole mass of ice. accumu lated and forced in during the Winter breaks up nnd is carried to tho south. This bell of brdheii ice, or tho " pack," us it is called, forms the only impediment lo an approach lo the l'ole by iho North At lantic Ocean. In the Fall, when strong southerly winds prevail, 'rikiIi of this pack as remains is njiuin forced buck towards the Pole, in a measure filling up the open sea from which it had come; hut whether there are hinds, or resisting currents near the l'ole to prevent its. accumulation there, or whether a warmer temperature exisis to dissolve it, remains to be seen. Dr. Kane wintered in Smith's Strait near ihe 70 b parallel. From this poinl the follow ing Spiing he sel.t parses over the ice northward about 125 miles in a direct line, when ihey came to an open sen iho shores of which they traced on ihe east nearly lo 81 (leg. 30 inc., and on the westeru side lo 82 deg. 30 sec., np. proximately. At this fnr-remote point, and from o h-ight tf four hundred and eighty feet, which commanded n horizon of nearly forty miles, the ears of lha pnriy were gladdened with the' novel music of the dashing waves and a surf, breaking in among locks at iheir fed, which stayed their fuither progress." As they travel ltd nor'h, ihe channel expaud-d into an icel- ss area, nnd inking tliiny-six miles as ihe mean radius open to reliable nmvey, this) sea had a jus-lv cmaigj txtent of more liian 4li:'J square miles. This was In ihe mouth of June, yet there was every indication that this water had been oja-n during a must severe Arctic Winter ; for the shores did not have " ice belt" which elsewhere in Smith's Sirait in. dicales alike, both permanent and animal frcen'.n".

The Van-Ion Vole. ' The returns indicate thut we underrated the proportion of the German vote which as cast for Fremont, in our paragraph of ycslerd.iy. In sc-vuial of tho strong Ger man words of ill's city, probably full one third of the Germans voted with iIip Re publicans, and in Illinois and olher West ern S:aies, we are inclined to think the proportion will- bo still greater. No one, nt all acquainted wilh tho facts, can doubt that there is a widn difference between tho Germans nnd lha Irish in re--aril to their participation in politics. The Germans nl home are better educated, politically, than tho Irish. They are more familiar with political organizations, nnd tho manner nf parly contests, and hare been in tho habit of attaching moie impor tanco to principles iu coiincciion with them. They bring with (hem lo this country much less nf their home quarrels and domestic dissensions, and seek much less to perpetuate on our . soil tho wrati glings of political life lit home. They read more, think more, and urn far more inde pendent in their political action ; and ex perience shows thut they a'tf ninth more readily nnd easily Ainerieanix-d that they identify themselves much more promptly with the Institutions nud tho in lerests of this country, and lake a more in telligent part iu connection with them llnin the I1it.l1. ; . , The latter are mn.sl undeniably clannish, ignorant, reckless, nud blindly controlled by leaders and demagogues in their politi. cal action. iThu simple fact lliul they go logeiln r that they votn in a ml id body, is si'fiicient to piove this. No other class of our citizens do so. The Scotch, the Welsh, thn French, the ' English, never herd together and go in flocks with any panicular party.
