SaS FRAScisco. CALlFoRSIA,}
July 5th, 1856. :
MyDeer -:-An insc-rec:on more powerful
than our government, now exists IL our city. Armed
with 5000 muskets and forty pieces OF cannon they
parade the streets and seize Supreme Judges at
their will Our Governor mas appealed for aid to the
Government at Washington, but We greatly fear that
timidy will overcome their sense OF duty THERE'S
10 question, that II s utterly impossible Tor Govern
or johnson TO put it down, because our people per
haps are with the Committee, but nelghbor don't
car. for neighbor. We have arms and no a;nunl-
tion.: very much fear the government at Wash.
iugton will be very tnid. II 60 we are undone Inc
courts fear the committee ara ;.sy VIII hesitate tor
years TO run counter 10 popular preJudces, though
iuslirp might inperativr,v require II. lhs senti'
n.n,s th.t are being incucs-d are, that the people
being the source Of all power, rave the riGht when
ever they please, to take :Sas power oacK 10 then
selves and administer il, ead then turn II over tey
wsh. 10 new agents or their old ones. heard MIR.
Du.r mysclf declare these sentiments IN puohc
sneech am sorry to tell you that Col Peyton SYM
patbiz.d with them until they arrested Judge lerry
lie is anxious to get him released, however, ~h'ch
many think will be- al npossibillty.
Nearly all the talent and learning OF the State, how.
ever are with us. Col. PeyiOn, NJ. Duer and Old
Governor Fooe, being the only pretended exceptions
that am aware OF. ! have refused positively to
open my mouth coudemnnE Col Peyton, because II
il is an error that il all hope. But he IL really very
cupable in not avoiding such an error. In the paper
send you is IN article signed THE correspondent OF
an English paper which is very able and admirably,
true and impartial. send you this paper principally
because of this article.
We have not yet heard who is nominated for the
Presidency a greut deal for us depends upon that.
Governor johnson has asked aid froI! Washington.-
hope you will feel that the President ought TO an
swer favorsbly the Governors call and that il such
are your views you will do whatever you can, conss'
tent with your duty, for us.
Gen. Wool betrayed us and ruined us. | wish to
mention, also. Cnpt. Boutwell,, uow Of the sloop.ot-
war John Adams, one who deserves praise for his
conduct. lie has always been willing TO give his
ship aid 10 sustain law and order.

A BASE FRAUD EXPOSED.

short time since (says the Rochester Union,l the
Repubican Journals published circular letter ad-
dressed to postmasters in this State, and signed by
Perrin NJ Brown, jr. The circular set forth that i;
had bee. decided, after private consultation Oft
leading democrats of the Union, Immediately after
the adjournment of The Cincinnati Convention" to
each postmaster in the country for the purpose
nf securing the success Of he democratic ticket sta
fling the amount required. Sc, and closing with the
reouest that "he name Of some reliable leading dem
ocrat in your town" be forwarded with view Of con-
.ulting him hereafter. The whole thing bore upon
ira face the evidence OF fraud and absurdty aud the
trick was Immediately exposed by the Washington
Union. Notwithstanding this fact the Republican
Journals have continued TO give the circular promi
nent place in their columns, accompanying it with
indignant comment. upon this "system OF intimlda-
ton and corruption" &c. The following letter TO the
editor of the Troy Budget, from Postmaster General
Campbell will throw some light on Perrin ii.
Brown, j" Of course, the Republican journals which
have given currency tu the fraud will never set the
