J. SIMPSON AFRICA, Sec'y.
The San Francisco-Insurrection,
WASIIINGTON, Aug. o.—The President com
municated to the Senate to-day a reply . to the
resolution calling for - information relative to
the recent affairs in San Francisco, together
with the correspondence upon the sultject.
A letter from the Governor of California
ashs the President for 3,000 stand of, mus
kets or rifles, with fifty rounds of ammuni
tion, two mortars, 300 shells, and two guns
of large calibre, with their ammunition and
applignces, promising that they shall be paid
for or returned. He likewise asks the use of
the military and naval forces of the United
States to suppress the insurrection.
The President conceiving there was insu
perable obstacles to the action-demanded, re
ferred the subject to the Attorney General,
of whose decision he approves.
Mr, Cushing in his opinion, argues that
there is no evidence in the Governor's state
ments, or other authentic information, that
in what has occurred at San Francisco there
was committed, or threatened any act of re
sistance or obstruction to .the Constitution,
laws, or official authority of the United States.
The President is only to be moved to 'action
by the Legislature of the State in which the
insurrection exists, or by the Executive, only
when such Legislature cannot be convened,
and when imminent or extreme public disas
ter can be averted only by such interposition
of the Federal Government. lie says the
whole constitutional power of California has
not been exerted, and it does not appear that.
the Governor took any steps to convene the
Legislature, although that remedy might
Native been adopted, anti had its effectual ap
plication to the existing evils long, before any
such remedy could be- demanded from the
President.
From the Washington Union
Om- Candidate As He Is.
To the charge of sectionalism the Black
Republicans make no direct reply. They ad
mit that their candidate for the Presidency
was nominated by a Convention composed of
Delegates exclusively from the free States—
for the two or three stragglers from Virginia,
Kentucky, and Maryland, are unworthy of
serious notice; they admit that whatever sup
port Mr. Fremont . may receive will be wholly
and solely Northern support ; and they admit
that their present organization is not to up
hold any great National principle, or to ad
vance any great measure of National inter
est, but to teach in humiliating- lessons one
half of the confederacy of States that "there
is a North," fanatical in spirit, aggressive in
purpose, with the power and will to change,
alter, or revolutionize their social and politi
cal institutions,
Coupled with these admissions is a pallia
tion for this openly avowed and openly es
tablished sectional organization. It; say the
Black Republicans, Mr. Fremont is the can
didate of the North, Mr, Buchanan is no less
the candidate of the South, and put forth as
the champion and embodiment of Southern
interests, Southern feelings, and Southern
hopes. If Mr. Fremont is powerless at the
South, Mr. Buchanan is equally powerless at
the North. If the Democrats are sincerely
opposed to the sectionalism of Mr, Fremont,
why oppose him. with a purely sectional can
didate ?
Retorts like these can readily be disposed
of. The Convention which nominated Mr.
Buchanan for the Presidency was purely and
emphatically a national Convention. It was
composed of delegates representing every
Congressional district of the thirty-one States
of. the Union. Georgians and New Yorkers,
Californians and Vermonters, sat side by
side, and counselled together, not to elevate
this section or oppress that, but for the com
mon good and the common glory of the whole
country. After patient and patriotic deliber
ation, they erected a platform strong enough
and broad enough for all to staudnpon, with
out reference to locality, birth-place, or reli
gion, in peace, security, and happiness.
After the adoption of a platform of reso
lutions, Mr. Buchanan was, on the seven
teenth ballot, unanimously nominated for the
Presidency. It is a matter of notoriety that,
in the Convention, he was not the first choice
of a majority of the Southern delegates; but
on that, as on previous occasions, the South
ern Democracy, in the persons of her repre
sentatives, showed her magnanimity and na
tionality by promptly and, , cordially surren
dering her personal' preferences for the good
of the party and the consequent good of the
country.
Mr: Buchanan is not the representative of
any fragmentary portion ef *the American
people, He belongs not to the North or the
South, the East or the West. Ile speaks for
no church. The slaveholder and the non
slaveholder are with him brethren and fel
l Ow-citizens. 'lle is, in a word, the eithnsl7
astically chosen candidate of the whole Union.
That he will be triumphantly elevated to the
Presidential chair we entertain not the slight
est doubt or misgiving,: What sections of
the Union will render the most efficient aid
in the iecurement of this auspiciims end, it
is not for - us to say; but convinced we are
that hi
,the hour of 'victory and of wide-spread
and heartfelt rejoicings, it will not be said
that the North had fluted' to strike a blow for
the Unicn and the Constitution, the safety,
happiness, and prosperity of the people.
LETTER OP HON. THOMAS G. PRATT,
OF MARYLAND.
Mew will be found a truly statesmanlike letter from
Senator Pratt to his fellow-Whigs of Maryland. It takes
itrefragraldn positions jmtifying his and their support at
the comingAcction tin. Democratic nominees.
It states briefly Gist Mr. Fillmore abandoned his Whig
friends and went over to the American party, which de
flounced the Whig party; that Mr. Fillmore accepted the
nomination as of the Americairparty; that he did not con
sult his Whig friends, nor appeal our refer to them in his
acceptance; that, in fact, ho made himself a voluntary sep
aration from them, consequently there can be no claim by
hint to their support. •
That, allowing to Mr. Fillmore every Merit claimed for
hint, it is clear as noonday that he cannot be elected. -
That it is.equally clear, that with the aid of the 'Whigs
the nominees of the Democratic Convention can certainly
he elected, and that thus the conspirators against the'
peace, interest, and honor of the South, will be defeated.
That the old issues between the parties are obsolete.
TO THE WHIGS OF MARYLAND.
In response to the communications received from many
of my brother Whigs I deem it my privilege, in this man
ner, to counsel with all in relation to the course-which pa,
triotism and duty would seem to indicate as proper in 'the
present political crisis.
No lover of his country - whose judgment is unbiased by
party zeal and uncontrolled by Northern or Southern fan
aticism can fail to See and deprecate the pending - danger to
the Union:
The first duty of every man who loves his country and
Tier institutions is to provide for their safety. The life of
the nation is in danger. It must be saved; then, and not
till then, will it be permissable to us to discuss our differ
ences of opinion upon minor subjects. ,
I say that the life of the Union is in danger, because, for
the first time in our history, a party has been formed com
posed exclusively of citizens of one section of the country,
bound together by the single bond of an alliance for of
fensive warfare against the other section. That the suc
cess of such a party would imperil the Union has been re
cently demonstrated by an address of Mr. Fillmore, and
will, it is submitted, 1.4:i apparent to all who will bestow a
moment's consideration upon the existing posture of poli
tical affairs.
The value of the slave property of the South is not Ices
than two thousand millions of dollars, a stun equal to one
fourth of all the other property in the United States, as
shown by the last census. This -property" is not only re
cognised, but so far guarantied by the Constitution as to
impose upon the Federal Government the duty of restor
ing to his owner the slave who may escape into another
State or Territory of the United States. For years past
this constitutional obligation has been not only repudia
ted by some of the non-slaveholding States, but political
parties have been organized in ad with the avowed object
of liberating the slave, and thus not only depriving the
Smith of this vast amount of property, but subjecting it to
all the horrors which would necessarily result from such a
consummation. In addition to all this, whilst the aboli
tionists on the ono hand Openly avow their opposition to
the Constitution and their desire to destroy a Government
which imposes obligations repudiated by them, on theoth
e}• hand many Southern men, goaded by the incessant at
tacks of their Northern fellow-citizens upon their feelings,
their property, and their constitutional rights, express the
,belief that the interests of the South would be more ef
fectually protected by a separation of the slave from the
non-slaveholding States, and therefore rather promote
than interpose to prevent a result so calamitous. lire
have hitherto disregarded the danger which such a state
of feeling and such a course of action would indicate as
most imminent, because we have assumed that such senti
ments and action could only be attributed to a small mi
nority of our Northern brethren. But now, when this
sectional exasperation has been made available for the in-.
auguration of a party calling itself Republican, under
whose banner, for the first time in the history of the coun
try, this sectional opposition to Southern rights and•inter
ests have united iu nominating, with alleged probabilities
of success, a purely sectional ticket for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the United States, we can no longer
shut our eyes to the reality of the threatened danger; we
cannot but feel that the success of such a party would be
the death knell of the Union. The unpatriotic purposes
of this sectional party aro but too manifest. Many of its
supporters avow their object and purpose to be disunion,
and have even gone so far in the madness of their fanati
cism as to desecrate the flag of our country by obliterating
front its constellation the fifteen stars which represent the
slaveholding States, and displaying as their party banner
that flag with but sixteen of its stars remaining, to repre
sent the sixteen non-slaveholding States. It is manifest
that those who disavow the object are not igiorant at the
inevitable result.
The Whigs of Maryland, whom I have the honor - to ad
dress, need no proof to convince them that ealtunitons - cou-'
sequences would now from the success of this sectional,
party. They each and all know that the election of Mr.
Fremont, and the administration of the Covernthent by
him upon the principles of his party, would necessarily
occasion a dissolution of the federal Union, to which they
have been taught to look as the source of national strength
and of individual prosperity and happiness.
I have known only the Whigs of my State too long, I
estimate their patriotism too highly, Ihave associated with
them too intimately, to suppose it necessary for a moment,
to olfer an argument to teem in behalf of their country.
They appreciate, as fully as 1 could depict, the horrors of
disunion; they will see the loss of national strength, the
intErei,al dissensions, the fatal check to civilization and
frefqlem, the contempt of the world which would Le the
consequences of such a calamity. The Whigs of Mary
laud, who have followed the lead of such patriots as Clay
and Webster, "will never keep step to any other music
than that of tho Union."
It therefore only remains to inquire what course shll'
be taken to rebuke sectional fanaticism and preserve our •
country from the dangers of its success.
You are aware that this Republican party, which we all
agree must be put down at all hazard's, is opposed by two
other party organizations; the American, headed by Messrs.
Fillmore and and the Democratic, led on by
Messrs. Buchanan and Dreckinridge. You will recollect
that Mr. Fillmore, prior to his accent visit to Europe,
abandoned the Whig party and became a member of the
former of these organizations, n hitch boasted that it had
risen upon the downfall of the Bldg party, and which
proclaimed that the Corruptions of the Whig mid Demo
cratic parties constituted the necessity of its existence.—
You know that he and Andrew Jackson Donelsou have
been nominated by this party (not by the Whig party) for
the Presidency and Vico Presidency, and you will wheit
that the principles of proscription because of religious
opinions, and other reputed tenets of this now party, are
in direct antagonism with the principles of that good old
Whig party to which we are still attached, and which has
been abandoned by Mr. Fillmore. It id not my object in
retiwring, to these facts to deny to the American party,
since the secession of its abolition adherents, a fair claim
to nationality ; nor to deny the patriotism and virtue of
Mr. Fillmore, nor his eminent qualification for the office of
Chief Magistrate, lint Ido deduce from them the neces
sary conclusion that, as Whigs we owe no party allegi
ance to Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson, members and nom
inees of the American party. I deduce the conclusion
that, as Whigs, we are nut only at liberty, but that as pa
triots we are bound, by every obligation to our conntry
and posterity, to throw aside, on the one hand, the feelings
of hostility which Mr. Fillmore's desertion of our party
would be calculated to engender, and, on the other hand,
to forget for the time our former battles with the Demo
cratic party, and to ask ourselves but one question—which
of the two national organizations offers the best guarantee
of success in crushing out of eiristence.this new and mon
strous sectional party, which threatens, the life of your
country? Ido not propose to examine the relative claims
of the two national parties or their nominees to our sup
port. It is not, in my judgment, permissable in the pre
sent crisis to interpose our individual differences of opin
ion upon minor questions. It is sufficient for us to know
that, the election of either national nominee would secure
the Union; and the only question permitted by patriot
ism is, whether our support of the one or the other would
more certainly prove successful?
But before I proceed to this inquiry, having shown that
no political allegiance to Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson
will interpose to prevent the fair exercise of our judgment
on that side, I propose briefly to inquire whether there is
anything to prevent our support of the Democratic nomi
nees, if after investigation we shall believe that our vote
in their favor would more certainly secure the safety of our
country. It cannot have escaped your ohservation that the
political principles upon which the Whig and Democratic
parties have battled for thirty years, with varied success,
have been for the most part settled by the fiat of the peo
ple, and that such as have not been so definitely disposed
of - have- been either abandoned by the one or adopted by
the other - a( those parties; so that now the representatives
of the peopin in the halls of State and Federal legislation
are found indiscriminately advocating and opposing' the
same principles and measures. Not only is there nO prin
ciple of political antagonism which should prevent Whigs
and Democrats acting together for the benefit of their corn
pan country, but it is confidently submitted that upon the
only vital 'question, that which now agitates and endangers
the country, the two parties fully accord. The Whig and
Democratic platforms upon' the slavery question its eigh
teen hundred and fifty-two were identical ; and, there be
ing no Whig nominees before the people, it might be sag-
gutted that consistency would rather require than oppose
the support of the Donee - rade nominees by Whigs. The
controlling inquiry to the patriot now recurs which of the
two natiolial'organizations can by his vote be made most cer
tainly successful,*
livery Maryland Whig will be bound by every tie of duty
to vote as his judgment shall decide this question.
It may not be mmunerial to observe that neither of the
national nominees will obtain throughout this broad land
any votes which will not be cast by national conservative
citizens, and it 'is to be regretted that in this crisis that
vote should be diyided between two national caudidittes,
whilst the entire, anti-national vote will be concentrated
upon the sectional nominee. To judge, of the relative
strength of the two national organizations it is' unneces
sary to trace minutely the origin of the American party.
It is sufficient to bring to your recollection that it was
originally composed, orth and South, of the dissatisfied
members of the two old parties,
and that in the North its
original members were chiefly thuso who opposed the con
servative principle upon the slavery question avowed in
the platforms of the two old parties. It must not escape)
your recollection that upon the nomination of Messrs. Fill
more and Donelson a large majority of the Northern dele
gates seceded front the convention, dcdlared their intention
not to support those nominees, and subsequently united in
the noinimition of Mr. Fremont. This separation of the
sectional from the national portion of the American party
has occurred in every Northern State in the Confederacy.
I deduce from these - facts the nationality of the supporters
of Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson s and I submit the inquiry
for the holiest decision of those to whom this paper is ad
dressed, what non-slarcholding State can this national
branch of the American party, thus - shorn of the larger
portion of its original strength, pi•om7ise its nominees I Let
the Whigs of Maryland ponder upon the view of this sub
ject I have endeavored ,to present to their consideration.
and no one of them will bay that a single non-slaveholding
State In certain for Fillmore and Donelsozi. Time, 1 (kink,
will develop() the fact that Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson
will he left without an electoral ticket in most of the free
States, and it is at any rate the deliberate conviction of my
judgment Unit they will not carry a pingle no4-61avol ad ing
Stale in the Union. If lam right s or even approximate
the truth in the view I have taken, it will necessarily fol
low that any conservative vote for the American nominee
nwth will be equivalent to a vote for , Mi. Framont, as it
will be a vote taken from Mr. Duchantm, hkonly real com•
pettier.
It is clear. then, that to the South alone can the friends
of Messrs. Fillmore and Donelsm; look for the probable
chance of an electoral vote; and it is to the States of Mary
land, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri that they profess
to look with the greatest hope of success. It is manifest
that if this hope were realized, it might indeed prevent the
election of Messrs. Buchanan and Breckinridge by the peo
ple, but it would only throw the election of President into
the present House of Representatives, composed as that
House now is. Does not the election of this same House,
after a contest of two months, of a Black Republican
Speaker, admonish us of the danger of such an experiment?
Who can doubt that our political fabric would be shaken to
its very fonndatiOns by this election of President beim;
thrown upon the present House of Representatives? On
the other hand, is it not certain, beyond the contingency
of a doubt, that the votes of the States indicated for Mr,
Buchanan, when added to that- of the other Southern
States, would secure his election and the consequent safety
of the Union? Ris obvious that in this condition of the
canvass, the only serious contest is that between Fremont
and Buchanau ; that the only possible result that the most
sanguine of the friends of Fillmore end Donelson can hope
to attain is to carry the contest into the House of Ilepre
sentatives. Who can conceive anything more fatal to the
peace of the country, more insane in political action, than
such a course of conduct leading to such o result ? Suppose
Mr. Fillmore to reach the HOMO of Representatives with
the votes of four or five States, (his utmost possible strength)
no man can seriously contend that he would be elected
.President, and assuredly few will be found bold enough to
assert that, under such circumstances, ho ought to be. The
only effect, then, of giving the electoral vote of any portion
of the South to Mr. Fillmore would be to transfer the con
test between Mr. Buchanan and Fremont from the hustings
to the House of Representatives; and the danger to our
country, now sufficiently menacing, would, in that event,
be appalling - indeed. Who can contemplate the occurrence
of inch a contingency, without feeling that he would be a
traitor to his country, if he failed to exert every possible
effort to avert so awful a calamity?
I deem it, then, to be any duty, as well as that of all who
believe with me that the election of Fremont would be the
death-knell of the Union, to unite in the support of Messrs.
Buchanan and Breckinridge ; and I shall sustain their elec
tion to the best of my ability.
The Ditlerertce
Mr. IL W. WALKER, an Alabama Whig, in
a recent letter, commits himself to the sup
port of BITCUANAN and BRV:MINRIDGE, and
assigns the following, among other reasons,
for the cousre he has taken.:
"If I wore asked to name the fundamental
principles which lie atthe basis of our govern
ment, and on which our free institutions have
been built, •as a house upon its foundations,
I should answer, the equality of the States
which• compose the tFnion, and the equality of
the citizens who constitute the Slates. The
fist of these principles is denied and assailed
'by theßlack Republicans; the second, if not
openly controverted, is at least insiduously
attacked by the Know-Nothings. The errors
of these parties, •then, (if the term be not too
mild, )are errors of fundamental and vital
principles, menacing, in the one instance,
the civil privileges and the religious liberty
of the private citizen ; and in the other, the
sovereign rights of the States and the exist
ence of the Union. The Democratic party
alone,of all the orgtihizations now in the field,
maintains and defends both of these essential
principles, and thus, in my humble judgment,
entitles itself to the cordial support .and co
operation of all national men, of every sec
tion and party."
A Heroic Wife---An. Exciting Incident.
A passenger on board the ill-fated steamer
Northern Indiana, gives the Syracuse (N. Y.)
"Journal" an account of the narrow escape
of Cicero Fowler and wife, of that county,
who were also on board when she took fire:
There was but one life preserver for Mrs.
F. and her husband; he insisted imperative
ly that she should put it on ; she peremptori
ly refused, saying she "was in poor health,
and his life was worth far more than hers."
The preserver having no strap, Mrs. F. tore
the hem from her dress and fastened it to her
husband, whom she continued to encourage,
saying she could hold on to him, and, if the
preserver could not sustain them both, she
would be the one to let go and leave him to
save himself.
• The fire was getting hotter and hotter,---
The water was thick with human forms strug
gling for life; she tore her bonnet, already
on fire, from her head, and, hand in hand
with one she loved better than herself, took
the dangerous leap. As they arose from the
water, Mr. Fowler assisted his wife in procu
ring a good hold of him on or about the
shoulders. She wiped the water from his
mouth and eyes, and encouraged him to re
tain leis hope of being saved. He continued
to struggle with the waves. Half an hour
elapsed and there were no signs of assis
tance. His strength was rapidly failing; his
wife observing it, tried anew to cheer
He said he could not stand it any longer ; it
seemed as though he must give up. At that
napinent she heard a steamer coming rapidly
through the water. She says: "My dear
husband, a few moments more and we are
safe. Don't you hear a boat coming?" He
said he did, and immediately revived, made
all the effort in his power, and struggled 'for
himself and his heroic wife" until the Missis
sippi came up and took them with scores of
others, on her commodious deck.
ZeirThe New Orleans Bee, (Fillmore) says
the Democratic ticket, is the strongest the
party could put forward; that Buchanan is
a statesman, a patriot and a gentleman.

dill William Brewster and Samuel
Whittaker face the mimic? Will they make
us as liberal an offer to sustain the charges
we have made against them ? We shall see.
TUOMAS G. PRATT
The above propositions have been be
fore Brewster and Whittaker for three weeks.
They have not been accepted—neither have
the honorable editors taken back the false
hoods. We ask every honorable man to place
himself in our position, and then ask himself,
" Ilrow shall the rascals be punished ?"
From the Huntingdon Journal of last Wednesday morning.
"In regard to the statement we made that the publisher
of the Huntingdon Globe "owed his present freedom to ex
ecutive clemency," we have a word to say. Lewis has had
a notice in his paper for several weeks, denying the asser
tion, and offering to wager $lOO we cannot prove it. We
cannot " bet" for several reasons—we are morally opposed
to gambling; we could not take money made in the man
ner the above named individual has his ; we will not stake
money on a blackguard. We assert that our statements
are entirely correct, and shall substantiate them by pub
lishing a brief history of this immaculate Wm. Lewis—
commencing in our next; from the pen of "one who
knows:' We shall prove every word we haye spoken."
re —The reader will observe that Brewster
&Whittaker have not included in their "state
ment" their former oft-repeated but false as
sertions that we are "a pardoned convict,"
"a Roman Catholic," " a Jesuit," &c., &c.,
but they assert that their statements are en
tirely correct, and that they WILL prove every
word they have spoken !
Now, all we ask of them is the proof to
sustain their assertions—or EITHER OF THEM.
But they say they " are morally (!) opposed
to betting and gambling." We propose no
betting—no gambling ! Our proposition is
to give, to bestow, the $lOO in case they suc
ceed in proving their assertions to be true !
They rejuse the proposition! We will make
them another, since they have become so
" moral," to which they cannot object as be
ing immoral ! We now propose that they
select a committee of five persons—members
of their own party and their own church—to
investigate the charges they have made against
us, and if said committe report under oath
that said charges are true, we will pay the
said committee and Brewster and Whittaker
and witnesses, for their time and trouble, and
will also contribute the sum of one hundred
dollars towards the erection of the - Presbyte : -
rian parsonage house. In case they refuse
to accept this, our last proposition, or to re
tract, we pledge ourselves to give them both
more than they have contracted for.
In the meantime we denzagd of them the
publication of the " brief history" they have
promised, by "one who knows.

Editors of the " Runtiwydon
These individuals have charged us with
" owing 0,,r present freedom. to executive
"clemency" and with being " a pardoned eon
" vict." And further, that we are a "Roman
"Catholic—a Jesuit—bound by all the popish
" rites and ceremonies of the Roman Church—
"chained to the car of the anti-Christ of the
"seven-hilled city, by all the forms, oaths,
"and obligations required by that Pontiff."
The truth' is expected from men occupying
the positions they do, as editors of a public
journal and members of a Christian church.
They disgrace both these positions by their
bold and malicious LIES.
The charges Brewster and Whittaker have
made against us we pronounce FALSE, and
shall continue to do so, and keep them
posted throughout the county as the most IN
FAMOUS LIARS until they retract their false
hoods or Recept the propositions we now
make..
We propose that William Brewster and
Samuel G. Whittaker select a committee of
five respectable gentlemen, citizens of Hun
tingdon, from - their own political party, and
their own church,—said committee to sit with
open doors on any day previous to August
Court, to hear evidence to justify the above
charges, and to report - ender oath. The re
