THOUGHTS OP  IKl.UIi.
'Tis Evenirig] and golden sun
Sinks in the purple West;
Tbe crimson clouds are pitssing fast,
Behind the mountain's < rest.
Ihe Eastern skies are growing daik,
The mountains dimly'seen;
The vnlley sleeps in sweet repose
Anions the bowers «icen.
The stars are peeping one by one,
Through el. udsol silver white—
Now, al! the heavens seem to glow
With little worlds of light,.
The balmy zephyrs steal their way
Through ev'ry quiet nook—
Through all the groves of Autumn fruit,
And by the rippling broi_k.
While Nature sleeps in sweet repose.
And all is hushed to rest,
Kind thoughts about my distant home
Come crowd ng through my breast..
Where al! our little household band
Around the door were seen.
Á wi.low stood near by the door,
A honey locust, too ;
And o'er tbe windows and the porch,
The lragraut jas'mine grew.
Close by the house there was a stream
Ftow'd by the little hill.
Whose pearly waters tlum did turn
The noisy, old saw mill,
That stood near by the shady giove
Of maple trees so grmid ;
Baieath whose boughs of darkest green,
I've wandered hand iu hand,
With early fiiends ;—and sisters, too,
Who since have left our baud,
And soared above the things of earth,
To visit unseen land.
But are their bodi s, loved so well,
Laid in that í iry land?
Alas! iiotoneissl eping títere,
In that old forest grand.
One sleeps on Old Kentucky's shore,
Far tium her friends and home ;
W ithin the silent church-yard walls,
Where bleak winds sigh and moan.
One in Ohio rests in peace,
Ou our old 'homestead' ground ;
Where relatives and friends cau weep—
Weep o'er that little mound.
On California's sea girt shore,
In ibis fur distant h,nd,
Another sleeps iu sweet repose
Beneath the golden sand.
Siill, I am spared, I know not why,
unless to grieve and píue ; —
Bui He, who doeth all things well—
Hia will be done—not mine.
How is it lhat my thoughts to night
Have stray'd so iai- uway,
To that old hume my childhood knew ?—
There, often through llie day,
I've sat upon the shady banks
Of "Noiens' '  crystal sti-uam,
And wauhed the pearly, rippling waves—
Ah! now, inethinks Ldjjuam
That home I long to see 1
'    My youthful home—dtar, sacred spot;
, Home, ever dear to me!
And now I wander up the stream,
And to the little bill;
Where many an hour I've whiled in play,
Around ihe old sow-mill.
The old mill stands in ruins now ;
lis pillars are o'ergrown
Wi h moss and ivy serpentine—
lis sides have tumbled down.
And as I stand in Fancy's dream,
Aud on the ruins gaze,
Methinks old ■ Time" ¡a stealing round,
In his mysterious ways,
Leaving his foot-prints in the sand,
And on the flow'ry lea,
On bouse and mill—on kind friends, too—
Alas! he visits me.
He visits all, from day to fay,—
Then why should we be v.iir. ?
For dust we are—to dust ie urn,
Like flowers, to enrlh again.

"Pretentious Upstarts."
The following just and handsome tribute to the
meri's of the Democratic candidate fer Pres.dent,
we find in the Nashville Union :
" The Patriot oi yesterday places Mr. Breckiii
ridge in the class of "pretentious upsturts," and
says lhat when I e "was an inlant, mewling and
puking in his nurse's arms iu the interior of Kentucky. John Bell was an honored cccopant ol a
seat in the nation's councils." Whether John C.
Breckinridge is a 'pretentious upshift' Itt the
voice of the nation determine. If yon, it was this
'pretentions upstart' lhat beat Gen. Leslie Combs,
one of the oldest politicians aud ablest tacticians
iu the Lexington Congressional District, where
there was a party majority of over 1600 voteB in
favor of Gen.Combs. It was this'pretentious up-
slart' ¿hat, inthe next race, beat Gov. E. P. Letcher, who was sleeted by his party as an invincible
leader. It was this 'pretentious upstart' who voluntarily retired from Congress, after havig served
two terms. It whs this 'pretentious upstart' who
paid the noblest tribute to the gnat leader ol the
old whig party that has ever been given from the
lips of man. It was this -pretentious upstart' who
modestly declined the position oi Mirhster Pleni
potentiary to the Court uf Spain, wheu tendered
to him by Mr. Pierce. It was this 'pretentious upstart' who ieceivtd the unanimous nomination for
the Vice Presidency from the Democratic convention of the nation at Cincinnati. It was this'pre
lentious upstart' who, at the age of thirty-nine,
was triumphantly elected by fhe people of the
United Slates to the second office in their gilt.
It was this 'pretentious upstart' who conducted
bin self in his capacity oi Vice President of ihe
United States in a manner unsurpassed, by any ol
his illustrious predecessors, in such a manner aB lo
win the digest eulogiums from his bitterest political opponents. To go bee» a^ttle, it was this
■nreiurtirtos upstart,'who bulled on his ar.noi
duriius- the Mexican war, and went with his brave
K.'ii'iickv tr- ops to the defense of his country,
when John Bell was at home, strenuously opposing fhe administration of President Polk The
spotless scroll nt hia name has never yet beeu
touched by the pen of calnmDy."
rJ0 THE
Voters of Los Angeles County.
Being a candidate for re-efection to the Assembly, it is not tobe wondered at, that my oppo-.
neuts should avi.il themselves of every possible
effort to prejudice tne in ihe minds of Ibe candid
voters of the county.
While I voted last year upon measures of great
Importance io the Stile, «uch as the Bfi.khc.id. the
appropriation of hundreds of tboomnáe ntf dollars of the public money, and questions having
relation to fhe National Policy, yt Rene of lb. se
votes are referred to in commendation or condemnation ; btltt-he whole balteiy of the opposition
seems lo be directed against me upo'n account of
my advocacy of what is usually called tlie Shori;
Fee Bill.
I propose to submit a fair and unvarnished
statement of the history of that Bill, and then
"eave Ihe ma'ter to the impartial judgment cf an
ntelligent people.
The duly of (he Representative is to obey the
nstruetions of bis cuiif-lilnent*.
The financial business of the county is entrust-,

To the Hon, the Board of Supervisors of

It must be borne in mind, that out of this, the
Cleik must pay his Deputies, the expense of
whom. Ü public business is well attended to. cannot, be less ihan three Ihousand dollars a year,
!h'e Ootinly'Vleilt: fhe'sum 'ot'aiaue over two
thmsaud dollars a year, which, when we enm-ider
his grave resoonsihili'y, his being under bond lor
thirty or lorly thousand dollars, and his onerous
duties, is notan unreasonable sam for a large
county like this to pay.
I have thus briefly exnlained fbe nature of Hits
bill, and I appeal to the people to know whether I
urn to hl.ime for obeying the instructions of my
constituents.
I must confess that lam surprised that I should
be nitucked for this bill, by the friends of Messrs.
Morrison and Stearns, candidates for the Assembly. Mr. Stearns was Pre-ident of the Board of
Supervisara that ¡nstiucted me f o pass the Bill, am}
Mr Morrison signed the memorial which induced
the instruction ot the Board, and in addition, lent
the entire aid of his influence ¡n Sacramento,
which is considerable, owing to his long residence
there, lo seeir e the passage of Ihe bill,
It. is indeed singular, t'iat in order to advance
Iheir interests. 1 should be blamed lor doing that
wfa'Ch tbey caused me to do.
I leave the<e facts to be considered by a reflect--
ing people.

Upon lhe?e  pnpsi

I considered it my duty to

' The order of the Board bad even more weight
with me than its official character alone could give
it, from the (act thai it was signed by Mr. Abel
Stearns, and upon his motion, dialt'd by the Bar.
while the memorial, signed by all the members ol
ihe Bar with the exception of Messrs Thorn and
Sims, embracing men of all political paities, and
manv of them not friendly with the County Clerk,
aff.rded me the assurance tl at the Bill recoimnd-
ed by them was a just and fair Bill.
But admitting the Bill to be bad. I contend feat
lam not to lie blamed with it; but the Board of >u
pervisors are the responsible- pattífs. But I sub
mil Ihe Bill ¡s a just ai d gcod Bill, and beneficial
