Emigration TO California.

There are several companies making pre-
parations to start on that long and teadious
trip from this section. 1t seems from some
cause or other that emigration have stopped
to some extent to the land of gold. We see
by late accounts that the gold mines holds
out faithful and yields in great abundance
We are somewhat struck with surprise to
know from what cause emigration is checked,
unless it is from the blasting effects of the
late Vigilance Committee. 1t is, however,
enough to astound the hospitality and honor
of any country. Its Unconstitutional efforts
aud lawless productions are spread forth to
the world at large. Even old England in
her great bosom of tyranny were never SO
corrupt and base in her oppression and aris
tocratic principles as that of the Vigilance
Committee. 1t has cast the dark cloud of
contempt upon her golden soil, and cause
the emigrant to look to the future, and lay
down his golden proclivites, and come to the
conclusion to stay at home where law and
civility is regarded as the only emblem by
which country can prosper and become
great. But, however, California is great
country, and would be still greater if it were
not for bad legislation and bad laws, but law
does not exist there however. There is one
kind of law and that is, the strongest party
and the meanest men dictate such laws as
suits their own purpose and convenience. If
country can become great under such admin.
istration, we would like to know in what way
We hope that her character will be redeemed
and cast upon the throne of greatness.

DueS.-The outline of the treaty about to be

cast 1t down in his excitement. No fear Of
trickery was entcrtiincd, IA the purse evidently
contained money amounting To- twice the value
OF the bracelet. But when hour after hour
