A sigh of relief came from Elma's lips. The servant again appeared with breakfast. Gwin poured out tea for her friend. Elma drank a cup, her throat felt dry. She saw no way out of her difficulty. She could scarcely bring herself to eat. A few moments later she was on her way back from Harley Grove.
The first governor elected by California voters was Burnett, and in the first legislature Fremont and Gwin were chosen as senators. Congress at last admitted California into the Union by passing the California bill. On September 9, 1850, President Fillmore signed the bill. Every year on the 9th of September, or "Admission Day," we therefore keep our state's birthday.
"I never fall in love in that sort of headlong fashion; but all the same," she added, "I admire Gwin very much, only I do wish she would not take up with Elma." "So do I," said Alice. "It was very kind of her to ask us," continued Bessie, "and I for one shall be delighted to go.
The black shame is doomed never to cross the Rockies, and yet the great struggle for the born nobility of manhood has been led by Shannon, an alien Irishman. The proudest American blood followed Dr. Gwin's pro-slavery leading. The two senators named are Gwin and the hitherto unrewarded Fremont. Wright and Gilbert are the two congressmen.
Gwin the Southerner, I also met; and Talbot H. Green, then and for some time later, one of the most liked and respected of men, but whose private scandal followed him from the East and ruined him; and Sam Brannan, of course, the ex-elder of the Mormons; and Jim Reckett, the gambler; and W.

"I hope," she added, looking anxiously at the head-mistress, "that you will feel it right so far to mitigate her punishment as to allow the Tug-of-war girls to talk to her. This seems just the time for a society of this sort to help its members. "There's a great deal in what you say, Gwin; but all the same, to my regret, I am obliged distinctly to refuse your request."
"A good vigorous tussle with a tough subject is the keenest pleasure which I can possibly have." "But the rest of us are not made the same way," continued Gwin. "Now I like my studies very much that is, in moderation.
We had already come to be good friends and constant comrades when the whirligig of time threw us together for a little while in the lower house of Congress. One day he beckoned me over to his seat. He was leaning backward with his hands crossed behind his head. As I stood in front of him he said: "On the eighth of February, 1858, Mrs. Gwin, of California, gave a fancy dress ball. Mr.
They've postponed the operation on the artery; as a last resort." "Dave," said Windham, seriously, "do you suppose you'll be blamed for this?" "Good God, man! No," returned the other. "Not even Gwin would dare to lay this at my door. There's no politics in it. At least none of mine." "Yet Casey was one of your men. They'll say that." "Let them," answered Broderick angrily.
That would seem more effective and stronger, would it not? Suppose we wrote a letter, a sort of round-robin, and sent it to Miss Sherrard, begging of her to forgive Kitty this time; and taking upon ourselves the responsibility of her future conduct. Oh, I say, Gwin, could we not do it?" "It is a splendid thought," said Gwin; "much much better than my talking to Miss Sherrard alone.
