SACRAMENTO, june - koVt'
Hon. d. C. BRoDERIcK- Dear SIR: Friends of
yours in this and other portions Of the State are
In doubt upon one or two points OF interest 70
yourself and the democratic party, and would
be gratifed to receive directly from you some
positive declaration upon them. In fact they
are matters which not only concern yourself
and the democratic party, but may indirectly
involve the great interests of our State.
Z It is asserted that, failing when at Washing
ton TO secure offices for several friends, you
there declared yourself hostile to the Admins
tration of President Buchanan, and that you
have returned home to make war upon it. This
rumor appears to come by authority Of several
persons high in position In this State. Iseither
statement true2 n
It has also been industriously circulated that
In the late Senatorial election yourself and DR..
Gwin entered into contract by which one or
both were 10 be elected to the United States
Senate 10 consideration of hissresigning to your
disposal the Federal patronage in this State. =
Although this rumor is generally discredited by
your friends, perhaps you may regard 1t OF sui
fcient importance to give 1t notice in reply
We may further state, by the way, that 1t is also
rumored that DR.. Gwin has given authority fol-
saying that he secured several appointments
against you in the face Of his address from Sac
ramento.
Other allegations are made against you, some
of them relating to your intention with regard
TO the next State Convention. You can de-
termine whether they also merit your attention
AS supporters Of yours, we have taken the
privilege Of making these inquiries. and if you
see proper to respond to them, we desire Il
have It in our power to make your answer pub
lie, Very respectfully,
8h Your ob'dt serv'ts.

LOWER CALIFoRNIA.-The S. F. Herald says
that Mr. Sprague, who was appointed about two
years ago Commercial Agent Of the United
States at the port of La Paz Lower California,
has Just arrived in San Francisco, his term OF
Office having expired. He says that the first
subject which claimed his attention upon assum-
ing his Office was the fact that an American cit
izen was confined in one of the La Paz dun
geons, where he had been lying for year with
out having been allowed hearing on the
charge against him, which was for flibustering,
and where be would probably have remained
for life had it not been for the interference of
our Government. Another outrage committed
by the Lower California officials was this: A
large American vessel entered the port of La
Paz in leaky condition and scant of provis-
IONS Her captain left her and went to San
Jose to secure the necessary means of repair
and provisions. While he was absent, she was
stripped of her sails by order Of the Comman-
der Of the Port and so dismantled that she was
abandoned, and so sunk with her valuable car
go. Another outrage was the firing by the
Mexican authorities into the Archibald Oracle
and killing portion of her crew, when she was
lying perfectly helpless in a gale of wind An
other was the arrest of twenty sailors-left by
an American schooner at La Paz-who were
driven two hundred miles on foot by the Next
cans, robbed and imprisoned for two weeks
without their having committed any otfense
whatever. He cites several other similar in
stances, and says that they are but sample, a
few of the many, many outrages which have
been committed against American citizens in
that quarter for years past

The experience Of miners in this locality dur
ing the last five years, gives us the fullest as
surance that millions Of dollars gold are bur-
led in the mountain ridges in our immediate vi
entity. But 1t requires an outlay Of capital to
reach these leads, which small companies, or o
cess seems mere chance, aud failure, certain
bankruptcy The requisite outlay, however,
may be easily furnished by a company Of the
size proposed in another column, Zone hundred
or more,) and should the prospecting by such o
company prove failure, no one would be bro
ken or embarrassed; while on the other hand, the
discovery Of rich lead, would open new field
for industry, attract many customers for our
merchants again throng our streets, and re.
store wonted animation to our city. The com
pany proposed, is intended only as Prospecting
Company, and wilr leave the working Of the
claims when tho lead is struck.
Tho surface diggings are approaching exhaus-
ton. and there must, sooner or later, be not on
ly here, but everywhere In this State, combina-
tons Of men and money--a union of strength
Like the one proposed, to prospect the mines.
1t Is the only resort to ensure return Of the
flush times of past years, when oil business was
q whirlpool of animation and fortunes followed
close on diligence and industry. Let the ex-
pertinent Of the MAMNorH COMPANY be made, and
made, too, by our own citizens The company
Is being formed, and we trust all interested in
the permanent welfare Of this place will unite,
to give II fair trial.

tons and procuring nominations BY trickery'
But l challenge my enemies to produce man
within the length and breadth Of the State,
whom ever deceived or to whom ever falsi-
fed my word. / bring that challenge down to
the present hour and make 1t embrace my
whole political course.
1t has been alleged that l seek to create
dsaffectior in the party because my friends
have failed to secure Offices through my means.
NV friends are not the spoilsmen Of the State.
Office holders and Office hunters have never been
among my supporters During the last admin
istration not friend Of mine held office under
the government Yet they always remained
true to the party and reliable in every emer-
qency. OF these we're the men who in the State
Convention of March 1856, though 6ercely OPP
posed by federal retainers, instructed their del
egates to the Cincinnati Convention to cast the
vote of this State for James Buchanan.
am not here to distract the party, nor to
control its nominations. Among those regard
ed as suitable candidates for high offices, have
heard the names of several reliable democrats
who are friends Of mine. But shall not seek
to forestal the action of the Convention, as
others would do, but leave the selection Of can
didates to the discrimination o. the party.

iects referred to in your letter at some length,
as design this to be final refutation, SO far
as am concerned, of the Misrepresentation OF
my enemies

CLOSE WoRK.-E. Gould Buffum, writing to
the Alta from Napa, about the MCGOWAN trial
says:
The MCGOWAN trial closed last night at IL
O'Clock precisely, and resulted in verdict Of
acquittal. Had the Jury been out two minutes
longer, the term of the court would have ex
pired. in which case the trial must have gone
over TO another term.n

HARVESTING IN THE NoRrH.-The Red Bluff
Beacon says that the farmers in that vicinity
have commenced harvesting grain. The crops

PRoDUcr OF THE MEXICAN MINEs.-The total
exports of the precious metals from Mexico
between 1925 and 1851, period of 26 years,
was S237 ,026,06l, an average of nearly ten
millions Of dollars annually. Judging from the
very large shipments constantly made at all the
ports Of the Republic, on the Pacific and the Gulf
alike, the exports the present year will far
exceed that amount. The mines were never in
more prosperous state.
