Polk has been recently visiting his cabinet colleague
Mr.. Buchanan, at Wheauand, with view, II is pre-
sumed, of settling what is to be done in regard to
the Vigilance Committee in California as is con-
sdered important to know Mr.. Buchanan's position
thereupon before the Democratic party in that State
take sides for against the Committee. Ex-Sena-
tor Gwn, | understand, has written to Walker that
California will secede from the Union if any attempt
be made by the President to check the dongs of the
Vigilance Committee. 1t is also understood that
Senator Weller, who has been severely attacked by
the Committees organs is equally strong ON the 9TH
er side.
An attempt was made by Mr.. Herbert of Cali
fornia, last week. to introduce. in the House of
Representatives, resolutions condemnatory of the
Vigilance Committeeman he was slenced by
cries of objection. The Democracy are not, for
sthe present, prepared to show their hands.

SUNDAY AT SEA --I like Sunday at sea in vessel like this. when lhe men are all clean and tidy, and Ihe bell rings for prayers, and "ll hands are assembled aft to i,sten to the captain as he reads the Church service.

It reminds me of our dear old minister aad days gone by when he used to call Us round him and rep, al ed 10 us he promise '' that when two or three were gathered together in Gods name, he would grant their request" The only difference is, that stilors are more devout sni attentive than landsn'en. They see,, more CONSCIOUS that they arc in the Divine presence. They have little 10 look upon but the heavens above, and the boundless ocean around them.
