~ y writer in the Trac Californtan,
over the signature of a Democrat gives
a dolorous picture of Democracy in San
Francisco. He pitches into that por-
ton Of his party which has denounced
the Vigilance Committee, slandered the
foreign population, but coaxed and fat
tered them into the support of the ticket
which they shall make. He declares
that the late primary meeting, like as OF
old, failed to represent the feeling of the
people. A large portion of the for
eigners were led up to the shambles and
there traded off, purchased by political
tricksters. They bowed down and kiss
ed the hand that chas.ised them. Like
dogs were they abused, like spaniels
were they Submissive
The Broderickitcs are represented to
rule the party, and likely to win, as
usual. They. launch out their money
literally to play their games of corrup-
ton, and the Federal officers follow
suit. The coalition between the Fede-
raj and rowdy party is said by the wri
ter to be complete The lines in the
Democratic party are drawn, and the
issue is Vigilance or anti Vigilance. If
the Broderickites succeed, wo to the
Vigilance men and their sympathisers.
Their. fate is decided. The:rowdies are
sworn to.return and then vengeance is
theirs in San Francisco.
The. state Of affairs at the Bay, and
the political complexion of the faction
opposed to the Vigilance Committee
may afford some cue to the motives
which prompted the introduction of anti
vigilance resolutions in the Democratic
Club in this city some time ago. The
hue of the party in this place may be
determined from the passage of those
resolutions with but ore or two dissen-
ting voices. King David has his ennis
saries and instruments everywhere, and
they arc as untiiing i'll their devotions
to the hapless house of Broderick, as a
Jesuit iii practicing arts for the ad-
vancement Of his order.
SENT HoME-The man named Gar
land, who was arrested in the neighbor-
hood Of the rooms of the Vigilance Com
mittee, ON Wednesday last, and who,
by his strange and manner and dress
having on two suits of clothes and arm
ed with pistol a.d knifc-was the
subject of remark and the origin of ma
ny idle rumors, proves to be insane
He is the person who so alarmed num-
Der of the friends of Mr. VIM Il. Cole
man, by stating that two men had gone
down on the steamer with Mr.. c., with
the design of poisoning him. Garland
is from jackson, III this State, and had
escaped from his friends, to whom he is
to be returned This is the second era
" man that the Committee have been
called upon to deal with. Some time
ago a man repaired to the rooms and
begged most pitcously to be taken in and
protected; he said that some thousands
of enemies were trying to destroy him,
and his only chance of safety was III be-
ing protected by the Vigilance Commit
tee. They kept him two or three days,
until his mind had somewhat recovered
It's tone, when he was released. This
man had come down from long way
in the interior, to seek protection of the
Committee. Afterwards he repaired to
the rooms again, and desired admittance,
but this time there were no spare ac
commodations and he was refused.
CAMPAIGN SoNGs.-Thc Presidential
canvass has already produced some of
the most wretched doggerel that ever
was put in print. 1t is impossible to say
what may be published by and by, when
men have lost their senses in political
excitement.
