Publications of the Academy of Pacific Coast History Vol. 1 No. 7 Papers of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1851 I. Edited By Porter Garnett Assistant Curator, Academy of Pacific Coast History University of California Berkeley, California July, 1910 Copyright, 1910, By The Academy of Pacific Coast History Berkeley: The University Press Introduction. The papers of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1851[1] in the possession of the University of California were acquired with the Bancroft Library in 1905. They consist of the minutes of the meetings, reports, transcripts of testimony, letters, accounts, and vouchers, the total number of items being about eight hundred. These documents were turned over to Mr. H. H. Bancroft by Mr. Isaac Bluxome who had been the secretary of the committee[2], in order to furnish material for the history of the committee, which is included in the first volume of Mr. Bancroft's Popular Tribunals, San Francisco, 1887. It is the purpose of the Academy of Pacific Coast History eventually to publish all of these documents together with collateral material relating to the Vigilance Committee in the form of statements by Isaac Bluxome, W. T. Coleman, James Dows, J. D. Farwell, C. V. Gillespie, J. P. Manrow, Hall McAllister, James Neall, G. W. Ryckman, G. E. Schenck, T. J. Smiley, and others, which are also in the Bancroft collection. The document here printed is the manuscript Constitution of the organization in the form in which it was adopted at the meeting held June 9, 1851, in the California Engine House on the corner of Market and Bush Streets, together with the autograph signatures and, in most cases, the addresses of seven hundred and seven members[3]. About two hundred of these signatures were affixed to the constitution on the date mentioned and the others as members were added from time to time. The manuscript consists of twenty-three pages, 7 7/8 x 11 3/4 inches, forming part of a book the remainder of which is blank. The paper is light blue in color and has a faint rule introduced in the manufacture. The book is bound in paper-covered boards and has on the front cover a printed label bearing the words, Committee of Vigilance. Several pages at the front and back contain a few names carelessly written with other impertinent matter. The text of the constitution occupies two pages and is followed by the signatures and addresses. The columns for numbers, names, business addresses, and residence addresses are, in the original, divided by rules made with a pen. In rendering the document into print alterations have been made only in such particulars as would not affect the accuracy of the text. The punctuation of the constitution follows the original, but in the list of names, punctuation - almost wholly lacking in the manuscript - has been supplied. This does not apply to the apostrophe because of its orthographic character. Misspellings and irregular abbreviations have been retained except in cases where their retention would produce ambiguity. Brackets [ ] have been used for corrections and for supplementary and explanatory matter. Superior letters which occur with great frequency in the original have, in printing, been reduced to the line, except in cases where it seemed advisable or necessary to retain them. Illegible letters and words and lacunae are marked by three dots ( . . . ) and those parts of the manuscript that have been overscored in ink are indicated by three crosses (x x x). A second document containing the names of the members of the committee has been used for comparison and annotation. This is a Book of Names which was used as a record-book by the sergeant-at-arms of the committee, A. J. McDuffee, and in it are entered the receipts of dues from the members together with various notes relating chiefly to their accounts. The book is 4 5/8 x 7 1/4 inches in size and has flexible black leather covers, The first page bears the following: Notice. Members are requested not to write in any place in this book, or in any way deface the same. The Sergt. at Arms will make the entry of Paid members when he receives the money. A. J. McDuffee. Book of Names. The list of members occupies twenty-seven pages, the others remaining blank. The names in this document, with the exception of a few at the end, are in the handwriting of McDuffee. Their order varies from that of the autograph list and the numbers that precede them are in some cases different. The numbers as they appear in the Book of Names are therefore inserted in italics and within brackets[4]. There are numerous variations in the spelling of the names in the two lists, but the work of verification from contemporary and other sources has shown that in the second or transcribed document errors due to misreading of the signatures frequently occur. In the case of names that differ in the two documents and of which verification has been impossible, the form that appears in the transcribed list has been supplied in italics and within brackets. The annotations in this list relating to the receipt of dues, which consist usually of the word "Paid" accompanied by the amount, are omitted; but certain other notes that occur in it and which seem pertinent are inserted in a column set off from the first document by a rule. An alphabetical list of the signers is appended in which the Christian names are given in full wherever possible. P. G. Papers of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1851. folio No. 1. J. W. S.[5] Constitution. 9th June 1851. Whereas it has become apparent to the Citizens of San Francisco that there is no security for life and property either under the regulations of Society as it at present exists or under the laws as now administered, - therefore the Citizens whose names are hereunto attached do unite themseves into an association for the maintenance of the peace and good order of Society and the preservation of the lives and property of the Citizens of San Francisco and do bind ourselves each unto the other to do and perform every lawful act for the maintenance of law and order and to sustain the laws when faithfully and properly administered but we are determined that no thief burglar incendiary or assassin shall escape punishment, either by the quibbles of the law the insecurity of prisons the carelessness or corruption of the Police or a laxity of those who pretend to administer justice. And to secure the objects of this association we do hereby agree; First, - that, the name and style of the association shall be the Committee of Vigilance for the protection of the lives and property of the Citizens and residents of the City of San Francisco. Secondly, - that, there shall be a room selected for the meetings and deliberations of the Committee at which there shall be some one or more members of the Committee appointed for that purpose in constant attendance at all hours of the day and night to receive the report of any member of the association or of any person or persons whatsoever of any act of violence done to the person or property of any citizen of San Francisco and if in the judgment of the member or members of the Committee present it is such an Act as justifies the interference of this Committee either in aiding in the execution of the laws [2] folio No. 2. J. W. S. or the prompt and summary punishment of the offender the Committee shall be at once assembled for the purpose of taking such action as a majority of the Committee when assembled shall determine upon. Thirdly - that, it shall be the duty of any member or members of the Committee on duty at the Committee room whenever a general assemblage of the Committee is deemed necessary to cause a call to be made by two strokes upon a bell situated . . . [blank] - which shall be repeated with a pause of one minute before each alarm. - The Alarm to be struck until ordered stopped. Fourthly, - that, when the Committee have assembled for action the decision of a majority present shall be binding upon the whole Committee and that those members of the Committee whose names are hereunto attached do pledge their honor and hereby bind themselves to defend and sustain each other in carrying out the determined action of this Committee at the hazard of their lives and their fortunes. Fifthly, - that there shall be chosen monthly a President Secretary and Treasurer and it shall be the duty of the Secretary to detail the members required to be in daily attendance at the Committee room. A Sergeant at Arms shall be appointed whose duty it shall be to notify such members of their detail for duty. - The Sergeant at Arms shall reside at, and be in constant attendance at the Committee room. There shall be a standing Committee of finance and qualification consisting of five each and no person shall be admitted a member of this association unless he be a respectable citizen and approved of by the Committee on qualification before admission. x x x [on margin] President S. E. Woodworth. Treasurer Eug. Delessert. Secretary Is. Bluxome. Constitution adopted June 9, 1851. [1] So designated to distinguish this organization from that of 1856. [2] Bancroft, Literary Industries, p. 658. [3] Owing to irregularities in the numbering the list appears to consist of 716 names, the last signature being entered under that number. [4] A number was given to each of the members of the committee as a countersign which he used in order to gain admission to the meetings and, in the case of the officers and some others, in signing reports and other documents. These numbers were taken from the Book of Names kept by the sergeant-at-arms and were not in all cases identical with the enrollment numbers following the constitution. Thus, Isaac Bluxome, whose identity was for a long time concealed under the number 67, appears on the original roll as 71. [5] Initials of Julius W. Salmon.
