The CALIFORNIA VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
This organization for the suppression of
crime and official and political corruption,
continues in operation at San Francisco
Two men named Joe Hetherington, an Eng
lishman, formerly residing at St. Louis, and
Philander Brace, formerly of Onondaga Co.,
N. Y, were hung by the. Committee on the
Goth of July-the former for the murder of
DR.. Andrew Randall, and tho latter for tho
murder of Capt. West. Other criminals are
being banished and otherwise disposed of.
We clip the following from the latest advi-
ces per the steamer Illinois:
Reports are gaining ground that the Com
mittee will disband as military organiza-
ton in few days. But my own opinion is
that the inveterate feeling of hostility that
exists against them on the part of the small
minority of our citizens and the officers of
the law, will COMPEL them to stand to their
arms until the meeting of the next Legisla-
ture, when an act of amnesty will be passed.
The cost of the organization is only about
$500 day, most of the duty being perform
ed gratis"
The opposition to the Committee has as
sumed political party character, as appears
by the following
"The mass of those opposed to the Vigi-
lance Committee are of the Democratic Par
ty, but the Committee will not, as body
favor any party organization. 1t is needless,
however, to assert that no man can obtain
local office in this State who is averse to the
action of the Committee. Several Demo-
Gratis who wished tojoin the Buchanan Clubs,
have been objected to on account of their
connection with the Committee, which has
caused considerable division and hard feeling
in the ranks. A Democratic Club, over
which John Nugent, Editor of the Herald,
presides refuses to admit to membership any

SENATOR PRATT.

The Hon. Thomas G. Pratt has issued,
through the columns of the National Intel
ligencer, an able and eloquent address to
the Wings of Maryland, urging them to
cast their suffrages for Buchanan and
Breckinridge. 1t lis powerful appeal, and
coming as it oes from the most distinguish
ed Wing of Maryland, must exercise i'm
mense influence in determining the posi-
ton of his political friends in that State
We have room only for the concluding
part of the address:
ut is clear, then, that to the South alone
can the. friends of Messrs. Fillmore and
Donelson look for the probable chance of
an electoral vote and it is to the States of
Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, that they profess to look with the
greatest hope of success. 1t is manifest
that if this hope were realized, it might in
deed prevent the election of Buchanan and
Breckenridge by the people. but it would
only throw the election of President iu.o

LETTER OF SENATOR pBARcE.

The Hon. James A. Pearce, q Senator
ofMaryland, has published letter address,
ed to the Hon. j. r. Franklin of Snow Hill,
Maryland, i'll response to an inquiry from
that gentleman as to what part he means
to take in the coming Presidential election,
and what should be done by old W.ligs who
have never been attached to any other par
political connections.
Mr.. Pearce refers to the origin and ca
reer of the American party, and while he
does not object to some of their designs, he
disapproves of its peculiar characteristics.
He thinks, further, that the northern wing Of
the party came into it with purposes very
different from the rest. adopted it as cloak
for their schemes, and are now mainly affil-
lated with the Republican party. He says:
1.-THE contest, it seems to me, lies be-
tween Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Fremont
Mr.. Fillmore's friends indeed claim great
reaction in his favor; but | have taken
much pains to ascertain what his strength
is in the free States, and far have not
been able to satisfy myself that he can car
ry single one of them. His wise aud pa
triotic conduct while President, which re.
commended him SO strongly to tho Wigs
of the South, is regarded by the majority
at the North AS fatal objection to him

desire, they think. as ono of their leaders
said, that the time for compromises has
passed. They want, IL tl.o President, sa
