To Mr. J. 11. Watson, Esq. for Bulletin,
Itaaud Sacramento Union.
A British Subject im Limbo. —A tele
graphic despatch in the Marysville Expnes
of yesterday, states that Hetherington, the
person who murdered Dr. Randall, is a Bri
tish subject, and demands a trial by a legal
tribunal. It is not state 1 whether he has
applied to the British government for pro
tection ; but it is probable that he will do so.
Should he do so, and should the British Con
sul interest hiiuselt in his behalf, we shall
wait with much anxiety to see whether the
Vigilance Committee will pay more respect
to the British ting than they have to the Hag
of our own country.
From the published reports of tbe case,
there is no doubt but what Hetherington
deserves hanging; but will the Mercantile
mob of San Francisco, hang him without
even the forms of law, if the British govern
ment protest, and demand that he be tried
according to the laws of our country ? If
Hetherington is a British subject, and claims
the protection of the British government,
it will most certainly be given to secure him
a legal trial, or the U. S. government will
be held responsible for the action of the Mob
at San Franaisco. If the British govern
ment permits her subjects to be murdered
by a San Francisco mob, and does not bold
the U. S. government responsible, then the
British government would merit the con
tempt of the whole civilized world.
It is true, if a British subject violates
the law of our country, ho should sutler the
penalty which the law inflicts. But it is a
weak, imbecile and contemptible govern
ment that would permit its subjects to be
murdered by mobs in a foreign government,
and not exact the sternest reparation. If
the U. S government are willing to wink at
mobs in San Francisco, and see our owu citi
zens hung up without regard to law, it is no
reason to suppose that other governments
will do so, or permit their subjects to be
hung without holding our government re
sponsible. It is impossible for the V'igilance
Committee to remain in organization, and
not come in contact with the Federal au
thorities. Do the mobiles not sec where
they are drifting ?
With all their boasted purity, virtue and
stern justice, we venture the prediction that
the mob will n6t hang Hetherington, under
the protest of the British Consul A flare
up with England would affect the commer
cial interests of the country, and that would
strike at the pockets of the mercantile mob
in Sun Francisco. They had much better
turn him over to the authorities, and dis
charge their duty as good citizens, and hang
him in accordance with law. Any other
course will, we predict, soon wind up the
bobbing of the Vigilance Committee, un
less indeed the British government are con
tent to see their subjects hung up without
regard to law, as the Committee seem to
i think of our own government.
I Correction. — The Attempt to rob an
| Orovillc miner, which we published yester
day, from the True Californian, we are as
sured by Mr. Myers, is a fabrication—at
least a large portion of it. The man Hostley
run away from Oroville without making any
arrangements for the payment of Mr. My
ers, also leaving other del ts unpaid, Mr.
King, a blacksmith, to whom he owed a bill,
happened to be in San Francisco before the
sailing of the steamer, and compelled llos
tley to pay his bill, und pay him for his
trouble in coming after it. The account
; which Mr. Myers has against Hostley, is a
I total loss. After Mr. King had compelled
Hostley to pay his account, it is presumed
i that Hostley invented the yarn which ap
; peared in the True Californian, and which
was copied by us on yesterday. It wag not
so much of an attempt to rob an honest
miner, as it at first appeared to be, but
rather an attempt of a dishonest person to
leave the country without paying his just
debts. He refused to pay Mr. King, until
he became fearful that he would be arrested
and detained until after the sailing of the
steamer. These facts are vouched by Messrs.
Myers and King, and in justice to them, we
make the correction.
A RtsAWja.—One of the Teams Jobbing
around town, got up quite an excitement on
Myers street yesterday, by coming tearing
along at a frightful speed, with a portion
of the wagon attached to them.
They were brought up standing when near
Montgomery Street, by running upon the
embankment of earth thrown out of the
cellar now being excavated for Messrs.
Downer, Harlow & Ritchie’s contemplated
Rrick building. We regret to learn that
Mr. Williom Smith, the owner of the team,
was seriously injured. The wagon was
knocked into “pi,” and the animals some
what lacerated.
The invalids and pleasure seekers
are repairing in schools to Napa Springs.
It ia acquiring much bygean celebrity.
Rondo & CuLO. —This firm bare lately es
tablished themselves in one or more places
in town, and appear to be doing a very brisk
business. Each evening are we enlived by
the cries of the Banker and the excited
crowd around the Banking tabic.
It seems impossible to build up a town in
California, without having it pass through
all the different grades of society. Were it
in the earlier times of the country, there
might be some reasonable excuse for tolera
ting such swindling, gaming establishments.
Society wag then in a disorganized state,
gold was more easily obtained than at pres
ent, and excitement and amusement were
sought for. Now, when we have society,
and all the comforts and endearments of
home around us why should such things be
encouraged and patronized in our midst.’
Why should the gambling table be found in
every mining locality where the miner is
enabled to make wages? Do not those who
nightly throng around Rondo & Culo’s ta
bles understand the principle of the game?
Do they not know that the per centagc token
by the banker, will soon eat up the princi
ple of those who invest in the game ? Let
the crowd who surround one of these tables
commence with a specified amount of money,
and see how long it will take the banker to
appropriate the whole of it with his per
centage. They will then be able to see that
they arc playing a losing game.
The law, seeing the untold evils and the
amount of crime that sprung from the gam
bling dens in our State, has wisely provided
against many of its more odious features.
Why the law permits Rondo & Culo to do
business, and exclude other branches of the
same business, we know not, unless for the
purpose of creating a monopoly in favor of
Rondo & Culo. That the law cannot reach
game, is evident, or the authorities, whose
duty it is to see the provisions of the law
complied with, would undoubtedly close up
their shops. There is another way to stop
t, however : Let everybody keep away from
it, and after a few Hops from the Banker,
the institution will die, like a sucker out of
water. *
Gamblers may reform, and become good
and respected citizens, instead of encourag
ing others to become dcsciplcs of their dis
honorable calling. When raining towns are
springing up in our State, let them locate a
claim, instead of opening a gambling den,
and they will experience the consciousness
of having contributed something towards
developing the resources of the country.
For the Atlantic States. — James Mc-
Williams. Esq., of the firm of McWilliams &
Tytncson, Bunkers, leaves this morning for
the Atlantic States, on a visit to his early
home, and, we suppose, for the purpose of
adding another partner to the firm. May
he have a pleasant trip and speedy return.
Mr. Joseph McWilliams has been appoint
ed agent of Wells, Fargo &Co He may be
found at MeWilliams & Tymeson’s Banking
House. His prompt business habits and
gentlemanly bearing, will render W’ells,
Fargo & Co.’s Express decidedly popular.
The Mint. —As there is a probability of
a conflict between the Vigilance Committee
and the U. S. Authorities, the Soperintend
ent of the Mint, Judge Lott, has notified
the workmen that they must withdraw from
their sworn allegianse to the Committee, or
forfeit their declarations to Uncle Sam.—
Served them right.
The hombre mentioned yesterday as
having committed an unprovoked assault
upon Major Young, was fined by Justice
Elliott &200, or fifty days in county jail.
Sbuterranean Saloon. —The gentle
manly proprietors (Messrs. Sheldon & Craig)
threw open the doors of their splendid Saloon
to visitors last evening. W’e had a speci
men of the entertainment politely sent us,
for which wo return our humble thanks. —
See advertisement.
During the session of the Democratic
Convention at Cincinnati, Ohio, there were
consumed every day at the Durnct House,
thirty bushels of strawberries, the cost of
which was over fctiuO, and the picking of
which employed thirty women per day.
Another Pyramid. —The Trinity Times
has the following, which gives the Demo
cratic Pyramid only 2 l d States:
As near as we can gather, the Black Re
publican party, with John C. Fremont as i s
leader, will carry Massachusetts and Ver
mont. Fillmore, the Know Nothing candi
date, will probably resign his candidateship
when he tinds bis party disbanded and in
disgrace. The remainder of the States will
give their electoral vote for Buchanan and
Breckenridge.
Bear Clubs. —Some of the enthusiastic
friends of Fremont are forming Bear Clubs
in the lower cities. In justice to the Cali
fornia firizzly we think they should be more
definite in naming their clubs, and call them
Black Bear Clubs. —Shatta Rep.
C*ru. Cam's vlr\u on On Vomlnallsii 0 f
Mr llurlianuii.
On the reception of the intelligence of the
nomination ot Messrs, Buchanan and Brck
cnridgc at Washington, a spontaneous gath
ering of the Democracy of that city took
place, to express nn opinion of it. This
meeting wass addressed by President Pierce
and Senators Cass and Douglass, all of whom
heartily endorsed the action of the Conten
tion, The following were the remarks ut
the veteran Cass;
1 do not come here to make you a formal
address. I came to unite with you iu your
congratulations upon the termination—the
fortunate termination—of the mission of the
representative body of the Democratic party
at Cincinnati. A voice lias reached us from
the West, borne by the mysterious agent
which defies both time and space, announc
ing that the Convention has given to our
party the name of a statesman and patriot
for the Chief Magistracy of the Union and
for our standard-bearer, during the coming
contest, who will unite the hearts and hopes
and exertions of the whole Democracy ot the
country. Andthatman is James Buchanan,
lie is respected by the American people for
his services and experience, and lor his un
sullied integrity and unquestioned talents,
his intimate acquaintance with public affair;,
and for his patriotism and his devotion to
the country, in whatever situation he has
been placed, at home or abroad. He has
tilled with honor and distinction various
high stations, and left them all enjoying a
greater measure of ot public confidence than
when ho entered them—a rare circumstance
in the life of a public man iu our country.
And ho is especially respected by his own
party for his attachment to its cause and
principles, his fidelity in trying times, and
liis rejection of mere local considerations,
always regarding with solicitude the rights
and claims of every section of the country
The labors of the Convention arc closed, and
well closed, and now ours—that is, yours
and mine, those, indeed, of the whole party,
nuw begin. Let us determine to elect our
nominee. We can do it, and shall do it. Let
every true Democrat buckle on his armor—
not the armor of Sharpe’s ritlcs, which are
supplied by some of the churches of the
country, instead of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, but the armor of truth, of reason,
and of persuasion, and go forth to the com
bat, and is sure to go forth to victory.
And never was there a time which more
demanded the patriotism and devotion of
every honest-hearted American than at pre
sent. Evil days are upon us, and in the
very wautonness of blessings and prosperty
unknown elsewhere in ancient or modern
times, we are engaged in nn angry and tear
ful sectional controversy, whose consequen
ces no man should contemplate without the
most gloomy apprehensions. One portion of
our country, not satisfied with enjoying the
rights of self government, seems to desire to
govern the other. The day of trial has
come, and the destiny of the Union, under
the God of our fathers and our own God,
who has led us through the waters and
through the desert to this beautiful land,
not of promise but of performance—under
His overruling Providence the destiny of this
Union is in the hearts and hands of the De
mocrat c party. Our old and honorable op
ponents, the Whigs—the Whigs of tb« days
of the lamented Clay and Webster—who so
long carried on a contest with our party
upon groat constitutional questions, and a
spirit of liberal patriotism, arc disbanded.
Its leaders arc dead or discouraged, its stan
dard is in the dust, and its time-honored
distinctive are among the things that have
been, and mainly out of the ruins have aris
en sectional parties, some of them with
avowed designs fatal to our national exist
ence, and all of them without any other con
necting bond than opposition to the Demo
cratic party. Let us not underrate the
strength of that opposition, but let us pre
pare for it, and we cun overcome it in fair
combat, and save the Union. And here,
this night, at this Democratic meeting of ap
proval and ratification, in the political Capi
tal of the Republic, Let us pledge ourselves
to each other and to the party to do our
duty, and our whole duty ; ami if this ex
ample is everywhere followed, as it will be,
the battle will be half won bv the determin
ation to win it. Let every Democrat sacri
fice his personal prejudices and predilec
tions, if he have any that will he injurious,
upon the altar of his party. And if 1 have
one single friend in this numerous assem
blage who, fur the sake of auld lang sjne,
has any regard for my wishes and opinions,
I ask him to do as 1 shall do—support zeal
ously. heartily, earnestly, the election of
James Buchanan. He will find his reward
in the good of his country and in the stabil
ity of her institutions.
As te the candidate fur the Vice Presiden
cy, the selection is honorable to the Conven
tion and to the ywty. Those who know Mr.
Breckenridge best, best know his true De
mocracy, his high and honorable character,
his eminent talent, and his claims ujon the
public confidence. Ho will be a faithful co
laborer with James Buchanan in the cause
of the country. Success to them both; but
al»ove all, success to this glorious Union,
which has given us a greater measure pros
perity and freedom than ever before fell to
the lot of any nation. Withered he the
hand that is stretched out to touch the Ark
of the Constitution.
During the delivery of Gen. Cuss’ speech
he was repeatedly interrupted with loud
and enthusiastic cheers.
Georgia made Locomotives.— The Rome
(Ga.) Southerner, in an article on the rising
fortunes of that place, says : “At the shop
of the enterprising Messrs. Noble, may he
seen a locomotive ot their own construction,
which will soon be completed and placed
upon the Rome Railroad. When it is con
sidered that in no other place south of the
Potomac are Locomotives manufactured,
Home may surely claim at least one “ spe
ciality,” and boast that while others are
preaching she is practising home industry
to some purpose.”
