It is theblackest of crimes, and cappot be properly characterized by any terms known to our language. From the events of the past two. weeks, We are forced to the conclusion that there is a well devised, and, thus far, tolerably successful plau among a set of vagabonds to destroy the cities and towns in the State. The threats wore long since publicly mae in this city, that in the event of certain occurrences, this city and others would be laid in ashes. The threat has been carried out in several of the interior cities and towns, and attempted and failed in some others. Placer- ville, Georgetowu and Neveds were in a single week de- etroyed by the devouring element, and from the torch of the encaking incendiary. Three different attempts have sinee been made to fre mento. Two have been dis- covered in Marysvilie, and to-day we record a most daring one in this city.

Thecontest promised to be a spirited one, and had com. menced in good season. It was said that the Young Men’s Democratic Clab had passed a resoluiion excluding from membership ali per- sons who belong to or sympathize with the Vigilance Committee. A convert from Know Nothingism to de- mocracy, and a member of the committee, applied there to join, and was formed of the action of the club. It was ‘joned whether the demo:ratic party of the State would accept those issues. At a meeung of the California Democratic State Centra! Committee, heid in the city of Sacrameato, oa the 1otu day of July, 1856, it was resolved that a Demosratic Blate Convention be ‘alled, to meet in the city of Sacra- mento, on Tuesday, the 9th day of September next, for the purpose of nouinating two members of gresés, a Clerk of the Supreme Court, a Superintendent of Public Instruction, @ State Prison Director, and four Presidential ‘The San Francisco Chronicle had come out in favor of — ard the Herald and Globe are supporting Bu- pan.

FILLM@RE MEETING. Pursuant to a published eall, the members of the Ame- rican party favorable to the electivn of Fillmore and Do- nelaon, met in one of the of Know Nothing Council rooms to take initiatory steps yards orgauieli, the approaching campaign. By 8 o'clock the ball was dense- ly crowded, and the meeting was called to order by M. M. Noah, Esq., who brieily stated the object of the meet- tpg and named the following persons for officera of the meeting, who were unanimously elected:—For President, Judge & W. Smith; Vice Presileuts, Wm. H. Culy E. R. Whituey; Secretaries, Chas. =. Biden, Racey Biven. ‘Judge Sarr, on arsuming the chair, agaic alluded to the objects of the gathering, and deciared the meeting open for businesa. Mr. RM. Cox moved that the password be taken, as he thought none but Fillmore men ought to be there. He said be had heard ome express themselves in the room averse to the success of the licket, and it was on this account that he bad made tho Mr. Kixoencxy opposed the motion, as he wasted to see the campsign conducted upon the broad grounds the party bad taken at the Fast. He did pot care how many converts came in from the other parties. Mr. Noait said the motion was out of order, as the lact State Council at Sacramento had passei a :evo.ution ro moving all secrecy: consequently po password could be exacted. The motion not meeting wis a second, it was withdrawn Ex-Governor H. 8.

He com menced by deciariug that be uever felt so much solicitate for the success of & Presidential ticket iu lis life as for that of the American party, Toere never bad been a Presidential contest the results of which were +0 !mpor- tant to the country, He reviewed the Ife o }.\more ia a masterly mapper, ant pald bim some of the most dis tinguished compliments, ‘both politically and privately, He regarded bis administration as only equalled by that of Wasbington, and his success in thie campaign as tbe only thing that could save thie Union from speedy dieso- luton. He regarded the oiber parties as botb sectional and fanatical, and the triumph o! ether would foretell tue downfall of this glorious Union, with all ite loved and cherished institutions. He was particularly severe on the present administration for ite want of idelity to the com promises of 1860, In which Fillmore had tgcred, and which, the speaker claimed, had once saved the country. He regarded the nomination of Buchan. a8 a perpetaa tion of the present administration, with even greater ob- 4 than now exist, becanse its platform was avow edly # propagandiat’s platiorm, and the contest was but @ sectional one with the party. The repablicaa party was equally onal, for thelr battle was fought in one sect! f the country. Both pu believed that the powhr of the goueral govern could and should be wielded for the bene’t of section against another, He regarded thecoautry as in one party as the other, aud as perfectly una either. Consequently there was no other course for Wonal men, for the lovers of the Union, vat to sup Mr. Fillmore, whe knew no North, av Sout), no Sas West, but loved his whole country, and would, if elected, protect ail its parts eqrally weil.
