GRAND PARADE OF THE VIGILANCE

GRAND PARADE OF THE VIGILANCE
CoMMITTEE.--The Vigilance Committee
turned out in grand parade to the num-
Der of 5000, or according to some ac-
counts, 5000 men, on Monday last. 1t
is understood that this exhibition of
themselves and their strength is prepa-
ratory to disbanding or adjourning till
the necessity of convening, shall again
bring the Committee together. 1t is to
be hoped that a sufficient publication
has taken place in San Francisco, that
the people may be able to 1--we and die
according to law hereafter, without the
necessity of an anomalous assemblage,
like the one we are told, that is about
to suspend its armed organization for
the present, and we trust, forever.
Let the people attend to their duties
as good citizens, and we need not be
shocked with the recital of deeds that
blot the fair fame of the State. A large
number of the pests of good society have
been driven out of the country. and a
wholesome terror struck to the hearts of
the rest. Society can now organize un-
der favorable auspices again, and by a
proper attendance upon those important
duties which every good citizen owes
the community in which he lives, there
need not be a recurrence of the scenes
recently enacted.
The most reliable prints at the Bay,
state that the Committee are still strong
in the affections of the people, and may
be said to be about to lay down their
arms in the full zenith of popularity and
power.
We hope to hear soon that law is
once again restored to its wonted chan
nels in San Francisco, and order reigns
in accordance with it.

FILLMORE OUT OF THE RING. y
This has been the burthen of the cry OF
the sectional parties since the nomina-
ton of the National American candi-
dates But every day demonstrates that
full vitality yet exists in the American
party, and that itsprospects are bright
ening hour by hour.
A few of the old line Wings of the ul-
ira Southern school have turned traitors
to their principles, and gone over soul
and body tothe enemy. But the sound,
conservative men of the old party are
still true and firm. Rufus Choate, Ed
ward Everett, Robert c. Winthrop,
Francis Granger, and hundreds of the
leaders in the old Wing party, have
already endorsed the nomination Of
Fillmore and Donelson, aid are do
ing battle for the cause.

GRASS VALLEY VS.. NEvADA.-Tf
any more words were needed to settle
the pretensions of Grass Valley, ae
would adduce the fact that the whcle
assessed valuation, of the County last
year was about S24OO,OOO. OF this
sum, nearly one half was found in Ne
vada township. This year the valua-
ton of the entire property in Grass
Valley township is s476.5OO, while the
property of Nevada city alone amounts
to 100000. Quite anappreciable diff
ference, and yet, Grass Valley wants to
get the County Seat, and Nevada to
pay for it. What impudence!
