FRAuD.-We learn from the Worcester Egis,
that Hollis Parker, who was lately convicted at
Worcester, Mass, of having attempted to extort
money from Governor Everett, under the pretext
of defeating conspiracy which he pretended was
formed against his family, had before his arrest
addressed letters to several other gentlemen, with
a similar object, and among others to Gov. Butler,
Of South Carolina. On this gentleman demand
made of fifty dollars as the price Of prevent
ing the transmission Of large quantity Of incen-
diary publications to South Carolina, and un-
raveling the plot by which the State was in danger
of being subjected to this visitation. Gov. Butler,
it seems, was deceived by the impostor, and adj
dressed letter to Parker by mail, containing
check for the money, and exhorting him to be
vigilant and active in investigating the supposed
conspiracy. We are surprised that Gov. Butler
should have suffered himself to be made the dupe
of so shallow an arti6ce.-.Ater. Gazette.
