he rREs NAN.

Pull up, my boys, turn quick the rounee,
And let the work begin,
The world is pressing on without,
While we must press within
For we who guide the public mind,
Have influence far and wide,
And all our deeds are good, although
The devils at our side.
Let fly the Jrisket now my boys!
Who are more proud than we
While wait the anxious crowd without,
The force of power to see;
30 pull away-none are so great,
As they who run the car;
And who have dignity like those
Who practice at the bar?
And ye who twirl the roller there,
Be quick. my inky man;
Old Time is rolling on himself,
So beat him il you can;
Be careful of the light and shade,
Nor let tho sheet grow pale;
Be careful Of the monkey looks
Of every head and tale.
Though high in office is our stand,
And pi Gus is our case,
We would not cast a siur on those
Who fill our lower place;
The gaping world is fed by us,
Who retail knowledge here,
BY feeding that we Jeed ourselves,
Nor deem our fare too dear.
Pull up, my boys, turn quick the rounce,
And thus the chase wen join;
We have deposites in the 6ank,
Our drawers are full of coin;
And who should more genteelly cut
A figure and dash!
Yet sometimes we who press so much,
Ourselves are pressed for cash.

revived for the purposs Of CLEARING the State
Of The horde Of rudisus and gamblers who have
oongregsied there from al parts Of the world.
The people Of San Francisco have become
convinced that they can no longer look TO the
courts for protection or justice, aid they have
again been obligsd to return to first principles,
and take the law into their own hands.
The origin Of the present state Of affairs Is
found in the recent murders committed in San

announcement Of hs death the feelings VI the
community became aroused TO the highest pitch.
The old Vigilance COMMITTEES called a meeting,
and placards Of an iniiammatory nature were
posted, calling on the citizens TO take the law
into their own hands and Oh the 18th three
thousand citihsns, completely organized, in d.
visions AMI companies, armed with muskcts
marched by thre streets from the committee
rooms and took pDssssion Of the jail. From

roll $4,000 has been raised to carry out ,bciI
measures. (clearing the State Of gamblcrs.) and
the meIabers ARE well provided with arms and
ammunition. The committee hal determined Il
sit until San Francisco and the entire Stai'
should br subjected 10 - thorough publication
They have prepared a list, embracing about NJ
