SAN FRAScIsco, Sept 10th, 1856.

MEssRs. EDIroRs:- Yesterday, being the
anniversary of the admission of California
into the Union, our city presented an unu-
sualy gay and animated appearance. The
| weather was all that could be desired; the
procession numbered about six hundred, Of
which, the Fire Department was the largest
portion. Pominent in the ranks of the De-
partment were the Monumental who
turned out some seventy men and who were
the feature of the possession.
To-day the trial of Durkee and Rand
for piracy commences in the L, S. Circuit
Court; considerable feeling has been mani
tested for some days concerning this trial and
there has been some danger of rescue by
the higher law men. Happily, wiser counsels
have prevailed and the trial will go on with
out interruption. This is as it should be-
collision between the Vigilance Committee
and the United States would be deplorable
and would compcate almost beyond remedy
the unhappy differences as yet confined to
San Francisco. 1t is to be hoped that peace
and harmony will be fully restored before the
election, for should this not be the case, the
vote of San Francisco county will be thrown
out of the canvass, being illegal while in a
state of insurrection. This, of course, is not
desirable to either party. Let us hope that
we shall get through This difficulty with safety
and taking warning 10y the past, never again
put ourselves in the same position.
We are looking with great anexiety to the
action of the Convention now in session at
Sacramento With good nominations and
with strong national ground to stand, upon
we shall go into the contest with vigor and
out of it with victory. TRUST that Amador
will be found on the side of the Union at the
coming election That she will be is pretty
certain, Judging from the immense meeting
held at jackson on the ID Yet every vote
will be wanted to carry the county and each
individual Democrat should constitute him
self committee of one to assist and perfect
the organization of the party throughout the
county. The Know Nothings here are count
ing largely on Amador for Fillmore, but |
trust that November will falsify their expec-
tations. If the Know Nothings were honest
in their principles they would drop their own
candidate and go over to Buchanan as the
only sure way to put down Black Republi-
cans. Sectionalism is now the real and only
issue before the country.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. Ith, 1856.
MEssRs. EDIroRs:-In ancient times in
Old Scotia" it was the custom to transmit
tho news of victory to the inhabitants of
the land by lighting fires on the tops of hills
and mountains. SO we of the yalies during
the last week cast our eyes towards the
Sieras, end 10 Cd the hills and mountains of
Young Amador were lightened by thousand
fires The al as of Democracy were burn
ing brightly, sending forth their cheering in
auence to the gathering hosts of the unter-
fed throughout the State, causing the XII
eyes to crawl into their holes, and the Black
Republicans to shake and tremble.
Onward rolls the democratic ball, gathering
strength as it comes, and when the Ides of
November are here, it will sweep from our
shores every yestlge of Nnow Nnothingism
and Black Republicanism.
During the past week the Higglede. Piggle-
de convention was in session in this city, you
may think that curious name. But Mr.
Johnson says that higglede- -pgglede is con-
glomerated mass of Heterogeneous matter,
aud he might have added-and held together
by the cohesive power of public plnnder.
so you will see that the name is very applica.
BILE in this instance. They organized by elec-
ting Senator McCallum, President. About
four hundred delegates were in attendance -
The President of the State Counsel had or; :
ciousy permitted the subordinates to send
double the number of delegates that thew
were entitled too, in order to raise a crowd
Eleven counties were unrepresentcd. This
body of American patriots, God help u.s.
being afraid that the people could read and
reading understand, forgot to make platform
or to endorse any they had made. Bnt being
actuated by the pure love of-ofiiee, they did
not foget TO make nominations, and in making
those nominations, they did not forget to
pander as much as convenient to the abolition
sentiment of our State.
| conversed with many of the delegates
with whom was acquainted, and the pre-
vaillng sentiment among them was. opposi-
ton to the Kansas and Nebraska ac. and in
favor of the restoration of the Missouri Com
promise. But they did not dare to embody
this sentiment in platform for they would
have split as wide as the poles. As the Hig-
glede-Piggledes presented no platform for their
candidates to stand upon, we must examine
the record and see how these gentlemen stand
upon the great question at issue before the
public II. n. Wood, of Amador, is one of the
candidates Of this party. Did he not few
months ego write letter from the east, to
his constituency here dcnouneing the Kansas
act as "an infamous outrage?" The B. RS
do the same Judge Wood when in the
Volcano weekly ledger., 1856-09-13

r. n. WooD, Eso-We recoect very
well that when our Know Nothing friend
Judge Wood, or Nat. Wood as he is ia
miliarly known, removed from little COW
county down below, to Amador, it was very
ungenerously intimated by some of his own
political friends that his removal was all
sham--or in other words, that he merely
sought "a habitation and name" in the
mountains, in order to advance his political
chances OF course ace did not believe anv
such thing of the Judge; but we must con-
fess now that "proofs strong as holy writ"
begin to rise up before us. Was not the
Judge, shortly after his removal to Amador,
honoEed by being sent ON as a delegate, with
at least a part of his expenses paid to the
convention that nominated Fillmore. And
has he not been chosen as one of the Fillmore
Presidential electors? Certainly. Why it
would seem to be the easiest thing in the
world for old brokendown Know Nothings.
from beolw, to come up to the mountains
and feather their nests" They seem to
even lay their own original great mem mo
allusion to the Speaker on the shelf, in or
der to honor the spawned hacks sent from
the valleys to Craze upon the pasurage OF
the mountains. An unsophisticated friend of
ours says, sich is lfel" Well, Nat. has not
made so rery much after all If Fillmore
should carry California, AID be elected Presi-
dent, q good appointment would of course
fall to the lot of the Judge; but as Fillmore
stands no more show than short tailed OK
in fly time, poor Nat will be compelled to
pick his flint and try again, or else abandon
the political arena in disgust We guess
he'll be apt TO "pick his flint" for we heard
X. n. say the other day that he admired
Nat. Wood for his pluck-he had been before
every Wing and X. n. convention in tht
State, never would give up, and finally has
received nomination, which being hopeless
of course he will "try again."
