i. Since .1S20, whi n Monroa was ehoscn
for a second term, wiili but one opposition
electoral vole, tho presidential elections
Lave been less decisive than is generally
supposed. That is to say; the popular
majority of tho successful candidate has
never been excessive; and often he bus ac
tually wanted n timjurily, mid had only a
pluruliiy. ,'lhis was the case, for example,
in 181-1, when ilia vol 's' cast for Clay, and
those thrown nwoy on Rirney, Vxeceded,
in lha-aggregate,. ithcMj polled for Polk,

'To go Uc! lo 182-1.' In that year foiir
candidates were in the field, Jackhon, Ad
afns, Crawford, nnd Clay. ' Tho first r.v
ceied ,00 electoral voleS, tho second 84,
tho third 41, ond the fourth 37. 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 . Tiesident,' beat Harrison in the
popular votoculy about 27,01)0, though he
had 170 electoral votes out of il'Ji. l our
years afterwards Ilarrimin teemed, at first

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,

California. 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." V.y geographers it is Mime

The appearance of Dr. Kane's long ex

will again awaken nn interest In ihe qnes.

continued to prevail even to our day ; nod
now, nlllimigh there has be' n ti 'thin
certain of ia existence, there have U en
ueh accumuhilive fuels, that it only
awaited the indubitable evid lite, tueh as
Dr. Kane has presented, to establish the
tll-niy. ' '. , .
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

Kane had Ucn a stranger to llie south,

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. They act upon their in
dividua) convictions of duty nnd policy.
Kach man reads and thinks and judges fir
himself. The great mass of Ihe Irish do
not. There is no such Hung as individual
action among ihern. Tiny net ill a b'.'y
they go in siioaU ., (ho whole Llsh
vote is idw;,yg cast in bulk. Why should
this be so Il Muld not ys, if they acted
Intelligently nnd independently. If llu ir
action was decided by the reading, the re-
fl frion, the investigation of their individu-
ial members, there would be the same di
versityof political sentimeiil among them
llmt pervades nil oilier clusscs of American
citizens. They d not act upon know!,
edge or upon princ'pln. They aro the tools
of djmagogues. Their action is decided,
not by appeal lo iheir judgment, but Ly
the o'ders of Iheir superiors, or me nmsi
dishonest appeals to their credulity and
lb,-ir hatreds. Of course all Iii.hmenats

a Jew is Lord Mayor of Loudon ; in Ger

ful whether the Into wur iu lMiropo could
