Letter Prom California.
NEVADA CO., CALIFORNIA, Aug. 24, 1855.
Mr Lewis :—Feeling like having a talk
with somebody about affairs in "old Hur
in
and not knowing of any person
these "diggings" with whom I can converse
on this subject, I have concluded to take my
pen and note down some of my thoughts,
which you will please insert in the "Globe."
Yesterday I was sitting musing on the
quiet customs, regular habits : and respect for
the bible—for the Sabbath, and other chris
tian institutions, which obtain in the place I
am wont to call my home—old Huntingdon
county. While thus engaged the "express
man" came by, and handed me a package of
letters and papers. Among others, I found
two numbers of a paper, styled the "Hun
tingdon American." I bad never before so
much as heard that such a paper was in exis
tence; and. let me assure you that it gave me
quite a number.of new ideas about the affairs
of the place of which I had just been think
ing. It appears that since my leaving you,
you have all become corrupt—morally, reli
giously, politically, officially corrupt ! The
last fact is fully demonstrated in the 7th No.
of said paper, under the heading of "Some
thing rotten in Denmark." In. this article
the Post Masters of your County are denoun
ced as "pumpkin-headed, Jesuitical, truck
ling villains." True, there are no charges
made against them but the one awful crime
of refusing to act as agents for the "Ameri
can," and neglecting to distribute the "speci
mee.numbers sent to their offices for the
purppse of catching subscribers ; but even
for this offence these puissant champions of
reform—the editors of this persecuted paper
—are determined to send them far "up Salt '
River," even in spite of President Pierce and I
His Holiness, the Pope of Rome,—two per
sonages, who one would think, from reading
this paper,_ were about equal in power in the I
United States. 0 ! that the swords of these
American Gracchii were turned against
these California Postmasters, who have for
years been pocketing our postage money, and
leaving our letters go "unpaid" to our friends!
It appears too, that the scarlet woman of
Babylen, like a Janus headed monster, has
arisen amongst you. Now I have heard that
many changes were taking place there, but I
had no idea that you were become such a set
of barbarians that •a man could not leave the
Catholic church, and join the Protestants,
without being murdered before he went to
sleep, which fact has been revealed "once up
on a time" to these watchful editors. Truly
this is an eventful period ! Permit me to say
a word about this great "hue and cry" which
has .recently been raised against the Pope,
and Papal influences, It is true that there
has been a time when the mandates of this
infallible potentate were paramount with
those of the sovereigns of the nations. King
John of England, did once prostrate himself
and permit the Pope to put his foot upon his
neck, in token of subjection. But since then
there have been many causes at work, to un
dermine and render effete, this usurped au
thority. Since Henry the VIII divorced
Catharine in opposition to his commands,
and then declared himself the "Head of the
Church," and through his new made bishops,
proceeded to excommunicate, and anathema
tise the Pope, there has steadily been a de
crease in the power and influence of the
Church of Rome. About the same time the
Reformaticn, which Luther had set in motion
a few years previous, began to shed abroad
its influence—to dispel the darkness and su
perstition, tinder cover of which Papish rites
and ceremonies had for centures passed for
true religion. One after another the princes
of Europe have denied the supremacy of the
Pope, and refused to acknowledge him as
their superior, either in political or religious
affairs. And since the first Napoleon showed
that he might be kicked about as well as any
other man, there has scarcely been a sover
eign in Europe that would show him the
least respect, but have alternately been ta
king a "spat" at him as though he were a
ninepin set up for sport. _Even Italy itself
turned against him and he was forced to flee
from Rome like a hunted animal : nor would
he now be there, had not Napoleon 111 restor
ed him to a kind of deputied power, to snit
his own political purposes. And this is the
potentate of which the Order of Native
Americans cenfess to the world they are
afraid ! This antiquated, time worn, cast
off relic of a defunct power—the Pope, who,
poor old soul has hard enough work to keep
his place at the Vatican, and secure his board
and lodging—this poor bankrupt ruler of a
petty district, of degraded Italy, is set up as
a bugbear to frighten Americans ! I have
thought that these faint hearted mortals who
are quaking in their shoes for fear of the
Pope, have got their impression of his impe
rial graatpess, from that verse in the song of
"Jeannette and Jeannette," where he is
thus mentioned :
“Were I the king of France—
Or greater, yet, the Pope of Rome,.
I'd have no fighting men abroad,
Or weeping maids at home."
Another item in this newspaper which
takes my attention is the "plank" , of the
platform which recommends the "formation
of societies, for the amplest protection of
American interests." Surely this is a lauda
ble enterprise ! The character and propen- ,
sities which are peculiar to a people as indi
viduals, will also be characteristic of them as
a nation, or as a body politic. And who will
affirm that we calculating, money-making
Americans, are too much given to philanthro
py, and are too negligent or regardless of our
own interests Here in California where
almost every nation of the earth is represent
ed, and where the field of enterprise is alike
open to all, I notice that the Yankees are ful
ly able to take care of themselves, and
would'nt give two cents, (if we had any such
coin,) for protection against "the whole
world and the rest of mankind," including
John Bull, the Pope's Bulls, "foreign influen
ces," and all other' hob-gobblins that have
alarmed the wigwams of the "Know Noth
ings."
But a truce to discussing the Writings and
doctrines of these new editors ; both of
whom are strangers to me, unless this Mr.
Barr, is our old friend the teacher. Of late
years the editors of the Huntingdon papers,
(excepting the "Globe,") have—like other
important "institutions"—been continually
changing. One mounts the tripod and for a
short time shines forth as a beacon of light—
brighter than Vesuvius—more eloquent than
"Angel Gabriel;" then sinking again into ob
scurity. _ And if I remember rightly, one did
worse than sink into oblivion, for 'I recollect
seeing a notice, written by one of your edi
tors, some time last fall, purporting to be a
"farewell address," to a brother editor, ,Ehom
the writer had transmogrified into a "beast
of the field," (showing his picture) and had
sent out to grass like Nebuchudnezzar of old.
Now should ti any thinner thus dispose of
these editors of whom 1 have been speaking,
before this letter reaches you, it will - seem
like shooting at ghosts ; and as it is not load
ed with silver bullets, which alone can effect
spirits, it will be useless to publish it ; and
therefore you may fire it off in the stove,
where it will be sure to hurt nobody.
As to matters in California I have but little
to say. We have had no rains for four
months, and last wet season being an unusu
ally short one, the streams are very low.—
Consequently but little work is being done
in the hill diggings ; from tvhich most of the
gold must now be obtained ; the beds of the
streams having' been already worked. A
company has been formed, with a capital of
a million and a half dollars, for the purpose
of constructing a canal from the head of the
South Yuba river, to pass through Nevada,
Grass Valley, ond other mining districts in
this county. They have commenced work
upon it, and when it is completed, mining
will be a permament business along its
course a distance of some forty miles, as
many of the hills over which it will pass are
known to contain geld.
Labor is still becoming cheaper; hands
may he hired now for two dollars and a half
a day. Prices of provisions have raised
somewhat within a few weeks; not owing
t o any scarcity, but to speculation. Butter
se lls here for seventy-five cents the pound—
sugar thirty—candles seventy to eighty. Our
election occurs in the second week in Sep
tember, and we then intend to re-elect John
Bigler for third term as Governor. The
Whigs and know Nothings have amalgama
ted into one party—making but one set of
nominations. Still I thin Democracy is
able to meet them in the field of battle and
come off victorious. When Congress meets
we will have bat one Senator, our legislature
having failed to make an election of the oth
er, although half of Rst session was spent in
canvassing for one. I see that Horace Gree
ly, of the N. Y. Tribune, does not intend that
our Representatives—Denner and Herbert—
shall take their seats in Congress. It seems
a law passed in 1842 says, that "but oneßep
resentative shall be elected from each dis
triet ; 72 and for some reason this State has
not been districted, but elects two on gener
al ticket. Perhaps since Horace has been
imprisoned in Paris, he will be more merci
ful, and may suffer them to represent us, be
ing as we are a fast people, and need legisla
tion. A Minna.
Communication from Morris
MORRIS TOI,VNSHIP, Hunt. Co., Oct. 10, '55.
Mr. Editor—
DEAR SIR :—You have seen by the returns
of the election, that the Know Nothings are
still in the majority in our township, al
though on the decrease. The signs of the
times, as surely foretell their dowfall, as the
rumbling thunder does the coming storm.
At our election ground was seen the deep,
designing tricks, of Know Nothingism ; but
as they were checked in the start, their
schemes did not amount to much.
On the forenoon of the day, and while that
foul sink of Know Nothingism, Spruce Creek,
was sending forth its mess of corruption,
and wire working leaders, smiling faces and
joyful countenarmes were seen ameng them ;
and some of them were heard to boast, that
they would have a majority of five to one of
the votes polled. But alas ! for counting
their chickens before they were hatched ; or
rather, counting their heads in the dark. In
the evening their smiles were turned into
sour looks, and ominious whisperings, as run
ner after runner, was sent out after those dis
satisfied gulls, who had to be led up the
trough. But when the votes were counted,
how visibly was disappointninet depicted on
the countenance of those very wire workers,
who had expressed themselves so joyfully in
the morning.
We did not poll a full vote at our eloction,
owing to so many of the Whigs giving way
to despair, and others refusing to join in fu
sion with the Democratic party. Our Demo
cratic friends did their duty, nobly and faith
fully, and although, a few, who once were
known by the name of Democrats, have join
ed the "midnight conclave," yet the rest,
with few exceptions, did their duty ; and if
the old line Whigs had faithfully performed
their part, Know Nothingism would have re
ceived its death blow in Morris.
I do not wish to speak derogatory of those
true and faithful opponents of "dark lan
tern party" who are Whigs ; but, if they as
a party had come up to the rescue, the foul
stain which has fallen upon OLD MORRIS
would have been washed away, and she
would have risen in all her majesty, purified
from the scum and filth of Know-Nothingism,
and political trickery. No more at present,
but when another year rolls around, I trust
you shall hear more glorious news from old
MORRIS.
