His proclamation trumphed and the people Of California
were forced to submit But the President withhods
these facts from Congress He withhods also the in
sucons which he gave his secret emssaes and rep
resents that the people OF California had been in no man
ner interfered with Without hesitation, we pronounce
such conduct in the President high derectoa OF duty;
and although the final result Of the California convention
may not possibly have been influenced BY the action Of
emssass by the presence Of our armed forces
or by the authority Of federal power, still great wrong
has been done dangerous departure from true priDci-
pies has been madeand the President has dealt unfairly
with Congress and the country.

in all human probability would have acted had they

LETTERS AND PAPERS FOR CALIFoRNIA.-We
learn that our excellent Postmaster, Mr. Musson,
with view Of afiording all the facilities in his
power has made an arrangement to put all letters
directed to the care of B. F. Smith i Co.'s Ex-
press, San Francisco" into separate BAG. A list
OF these letters will be published in the Express
SO that persons in any part of the mines can apply
attheir local agencies and have them forwarded.
This arrangement will save thousands of dollars
to the Department, as tits well known fact that
not one letter in thirty ever reaches its destination
IN the mines. We have heard Of many individuals
who have been for twelve months without line
from homeland this, too, when letters have been
sent by every mail.
The following from the Pacific News of The 1Atb
ults when taken in connection with the fact that but
one name can be inquired for at time, will show
what little chance there is for mail accommodations
at that point;
Rash for Letters at San FrancisoO-The San
Francisco Pacific News says " The scene daily
exhibited at the Postoice in this city, is probably
without parallel in any part of the world In their
anxiety to obtain letters. many persons on the
ground before daylight, and the string of applicants
az each window amounts to a hundred or more
before the Office is open. The crowd increases
throughout the day, the late arrivals being obliged
g stand several hours in the ranks before their turn
fsees near the window have been sold to inpatient
inaiylduals for as much as S25. The box delivery
