Eureka South, June 10Th


Mr.. EDIToR-I wish to inform you that
at public meeting of the citizens of this
place, held in the Temperance Hall, on
the evening of the 18th inst, for the pur-
pose of expressing opinions on the actions
of the Vigilance Committee, now in sess-
ion at San Francisco, Geo. Dean was cho-
sen President, and j. B. Low, Sec'y.
Addresses were delivered by Messrs.
Baldwin, Connard, Hughes and others,
setting forth the necessity of the Vigil
ance Committee in the present emergen-
cy, after which, the following resolution
was adopted, with but two dissenting vol
ccs.
Resolved That we, the citizens of Eu-
reka South, in public meeting assembled,
having through the medium of the press,
fully satisfied ourselves, that the inhabit-
ants of San Francisco, have for years past
been compelled through the mal-adminis-
tration ofthe law, to submit to a system
of murder, chicanery, and plumber, by ruff
fans Of the deepest dye, that their indu-
bitable and inalienabfe rights have been
laid PROSTATE by band of miserable mis-
creauts. That law has become a derision,
and justice a mockery. That we fully en-
dorse the action Of the Vigilance Commit
tee, and are determined to defend them if
necessary, with our lives, Yours truly, G..
The Nevada journal., 1856-06-27

PgSome few interested individuals or
men with marvelousness largely deyel-
opcd, are busy shrowing out innuendoes,
that the Vigilance Committee have gone
30 far that they cannot stop if they would,
but must strike tor an Independent govern
ment on the shores of the Pacific, which
was the real design of the organization
Ii is urged with great deal of earnest
ness, that the members of the Committee
should they disband, would severally be
liable to actions for the false iaprison-
ment of the cxpatriated rascals, foc mur-
der, piracy, treason, &C., and nothing
short OF revolution, complete and effec-
tual, and recognized by the United States
government, can give safe amnesty 10
the rebels Fur their own self security,
1t Is alleged they must 60 further.
This may be all believed by those who
urge it, but the idea of three-fourths OF
the people of a State requiring an amnes-
ty from the other fourth, has a slight
twang fudge about it, which tickles the
gullet Of only gudgeons. This belief is
endeavored to be created in the commu-
nifty for the purpose of rendering the Vigi-
lance Committee unpopular, well knowing
as the authors of the intended mischief
do, that the patriotism of the masses will
never saction the REIMBURSEMENT of our
interest in the stars aud stripes.
To some of these same men, who arc
pcddling this wretched insinuation, we
would suggest the fact that one of their
gods once advocated separation of Cali
fornia from the Union, and as a reward
for SO patriotic wish on his part, was
honorcd with scat in the Z. S. Senate.
For one man to desire it, is all right, but
for large majority is most damnablc.

ELECTION FRAUDS IN SAN MATKo The last
Legislature in the famous Consolidation Bill,
provided for the erection of new county call
ed San Mateo out of that portion of San Fran
cisco county outside the city. An election was
held in May to elect the first county officers
As specimen of how elections are conducted
n that region, and to show that Vigilance
Committees are not without apology, if any
such evidence is wanting, we subjoin an cx
tract from speech of Hon. VIM. Duer, once
Member of Congress from the Oswego district,
n. Y
II was called as counsel in the investigation
of the election returns in San Mateo, when the
attempt was made to contest the right Of those
who claimed to bave been elected. The evi
dence adduced, showed the vilest kuavery evel
pcrpetrated. In three precincts, called Chris
Lillys' Belmont and Crystal Springs, there
were but 300 legal voters; but Liverpool Jack,
James Hehnessey and their abettors returned
fifteen hundred, AT Crystal Springs, tht
honest people found, on the morning of tht
election, five men whom they had never before
seen, and who had much to say about the elec;
ton, and seemed to be very anxious that the
ballot-box shonld be protected. Laughter.
So much so, that they returned fire hrndred
votes as having been polled, when there were
only about THIRTY legal voters in the precinct
Much sensation.
"When l saw these alarming and monstrous
frauds, was astounded, and asked the hard
working and peaceable farmers why they al
lowed such villainy in their neighborhoods =
Said they, 'We can't help ourselves; if we try
to hinder your San Francisco rogues from do,
ing as they like, they will shoot our cattle
burn our houses, and. it may be, murder u.s.
Here we have complete illustration of the
extent of ballot-box stuffing power; and it is
that which we have now undertaken to crush
through the efforts of the Vigilance Commit
tee. lGreat applause.
