n@L The Democrat of this week, comes
out as bold as sheep, against the Vigil
ance Committee, and IN favor of law and
order. There must be new hand at the
bellows in the shop of our neighbor, or
some hope OF reaction in public senti-
ment must permeate the bosom of the
hitherto cautious editor. Had modicum

paper, been observed in penning the lead
er of the late number, SO many sweeping
and unauthorized assertions would not
have stared its readers in the face.
The editor charges the independent
journals, who support that Vigilance Com
mittee with being bought. One of the
main reasons why old maids do not mar
ry is, they are not appreciated and never
have chance. The virtue of some men,
and newspapers, is owing to their intrin-
sic value not being worth al attempt to
sap.
The Demoaat, seeing the sympathies
which are easily enlisted in favor of wild
ows and orphans, in the case of the wife
and children of James King of VIM, at
tempts to strike tender cord for the sake
of the capital, in the following pathetic
sentence: "Men havo been taken from
their own houses in the night time, con-
fined for a day or SO in the dungeons of
the Vigilance Committee, and before their
friends even knew the charges preferred
against them, have been shipped on board
of vessels, and sent out of the country,
and their families lettto starre"
No sympathy is intended or desired to
be enlisted for the scamps themselves, for
our neighbor is convinced, even he is
convinced-witha all the distance between
him and the scene Of action, that ma
jority ofthe expatriated were rascals.-
But he feels for the quick, when touching
on widows and orphans.
Now, we ask who have been left to
starve, by this forced exodus of Villains
We know of none. If there are any such,
they have heretofore fed on the wages of
sin and iniquity, and it we're better to eat
the bread of pauper, than that bought
with the stcalings of thief, or the price
of blood from the hands of a murderer
"Thc San Francisco papers, with two
honorable exceptions, are in great meas
ure, responsible for the disgraceful pro-
ceedings in that city" Two honorable
exceptions! One is Dave Scannel's or
gan, the Sun, edited by Bonnard. who
was engaged IN the scheme of foisting
Broderick into the seat in the United
States Senate a year before his time. We
do not charge Broderick with being the
prince of shoulder strikers, but would
call attention to the fact that in the
speech of Gen. Volney E. Howard at
Sacramento, to prove that he was not in
the least in favor of shoulder hitters, he
stated that he had not spoken to Broder-
ick for over year. This must have been
considered good evidence by the General,
one of the law and order big bugs, or it
would not have been produced. Taking
the facts as we get them, it is conclusive
that the Sun is sympathizer with the
stripe of men who, have been sent out Of
the country. This is one of the honora.

for whose editor, Gen. Howard, in the
speech before alluded to, claims nothing
