! "BUFFALo, N. Y, July 81, 1856. 9

ter of the 18th instant, informing me that, at a
convention of the American party of the State
of Georgia, held in the city of Macon, on the
9Th and 9th instant was unanimously nomi-
mated as their candidate for the presidency of
the United States at the ensuing election.
Being already in the field as the candidate of
the American party of the Union l cannot feel
otherwise than fiattered and honored by the
accession of Georgia to her sister States in the
support of my nomination. My political senti
ments are too we'll known TO need any recapitu-
lation here, and my character and former ser
vices are the only pledges which can offer, that
| will, if elected, use my best endeavors so to
administer the government as to restore har-
mony to the conflicting sections and maintain
cordial union between the States BY giving
to each and all that protection which the con-
stitution has guaranteed. If my friends be-
lieve that l have sufficient intelligence to know
their constitutional rights, and sufficient homes
ty and moral courage to maintain them, they
will be satisfied with this, but if lack either
no pledge could supply the deficiency or justi-
fy them in giving me their support
accept the nomination so generously ten
dered with grateful appreciation of the honor
done me by the convention, and beg leave to
express to you my thanks for the kind manner
in which you have been pleased to communi-
cate the result OF their deliberations.

CALIFORNIA RAsCALITT.-The San Francisco
correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune
gives the following account of the way in which
things are done in the Golden State He SAYS:
"It'has always been supposed the city could
prove its title to much ofthe disputed lands with
in its boundaries, if the old records of the Pu-
eblo could be ferreted out Some months since,
Albert A. Green, formerly a city officer. boldly
avowed the possession of these records, aver
ring that he had accidently discovered them, and
unblushineIy claiming the proprietorship Of the
documents, offered to sell them TO the city for
$4,000! Mr. Green delivered public lecture
onpthe commences and importance of these re-
cords at Musical hall. whereupon committee
was appointed TO examine them and confer with
him upon the matter
The committee reported the papers 10 be gen
uine. and a subscription was about to be set on
foot for their purchase, when the vigilance com
mittee broke up the negotiation By sending thirty
horsemen out 10 Mr.. Green's residence at tie
Mission, with orders to secure him. his three
brothers, and bis papers. and bring the whole to
the committee rooms. The work was promptly
done so far as the persons were concerned, and
ii the papers are hot now in the hands of the
committee. they soon will be. Il appears that
these papers were in the hands OF their LEGAL
custodian, Don Tobasco Vasquez, at the time
the government OF San Francisco was turned
over to the Americans; that Green and some OF
his cronies served a fictitious order in the name
of the city, for their delivery up 10 him, and
thus. by state prison crime, got possession of
documents which. with the characteristic hardi-
