California Politics.

We learn from the papers that reached us by
the last arrival from San francisco that par
ties in California are preparing for thorough
organization throughout the State. 1t is said
that the miners, who have hitherto been uncon-
cerned spectators Of party contests, will ap-
pear in force at the polls. The Courier says
that the Vine candidate for Governor will be
without doubt Major PEARSON b. READING. a
gentleman of high character and intelligence, \
native of Philadelphia, formerly merchant in
Mississippi, who has been a resident of Upper
California for eight years, was paymaster in
the California volunteer forces, and the first to
raise the American flag in the State. Among
the Democratic candidates for the nomination
are Major ROMAN, the present State Treasurer,
General t. j. GREEN, Colonel JOHN BIGLER,
and DR.. SEMpLE. The present incumbent,
Governor JOHN McDoUeAL, will run as an in
dependent candidate. The election of NUM-
cipal officers in San Francisco was to take
place on the Goth ultimo.
Rumors and charges Of bribery and corrup-
ton had been made against several members Of
the Legislature, and had become the subject of
egslativerinvestigation.

ance Of his duty How he has filed the Office il
now matter of history All sections of the Repub-
lie, agitated by intestine excitement and fraternal
animosity looked To President Fillmore with con-
hdence, respect and hope. Nor did he disappoint
such high anticipatous. He called 10 his Cabinet
tho abest and purest men in the nation--states-
men in whom all could confde, and whose fame
was the pride Of our common country. He
buked the spirit of sectionasm, and declared il to
be the leading purpose of his Administration to up
hold the laws, the Constitution and the Union.
We need not advert to the remarkable and most
gratifying s1ccess which has attended the nea-
sures of the Administration. Those measure have
received to an unprecedented degree the acquies-
cence of the whole Union, while they have pre-
served its unity, secured its happiness, and re-
stored that brotherhood Of feeling without which il
cannot long survive.
The present visit of Mr.. Fillmore affords our cit.
liens an opportunity to express their regard for
him as President Of the United Statcs and - = son
of New York. We are gratided TO understand that
the Common Council have unanimously rendered
to him, and such members Of his Cabinet a. accom-
pany him, invitation to visit our city md enjoy
its hospitality.

Hook, having gvne down and anchored there the
night previous. The agreement was to sail two
hours TO windward. The wind at the time of start
ing was from the N W.; but, though blowing q
full sailing breeze, the water was smooth. The
start was pretty equal. The Maria lay to wind
ward; the America was few rods ia advance
Each maintained the Same position, with little diff
ference. for some three miles. When about TO
tack ship the first time, the Maras centre. board
(thc America has none) scraped the sand, which
impeded her course, with delay of few moments
in trimming her sails. The average rate Of sailing
Of the two yachts throughout the course was ten
and half knots very great speed for vessels close
hauled on the wind. At the expiration of The two
hours the America was some three miles ahead OF
the Maria. j. c. Stevens, esq.,, tho owner OF the
Maria, attributed the difference to the hindrance
occasioned by the touching of her centre board.
Before seven O'Clock the two yachts came Ia anchor
at quarantine for tho night, and prepared yester.
day for trial out at sea, the result Of which ID to

ton, and make the best prodt OF this rare opportu
nifty To visitors Of this serious cla1s il can matter
very little whether the subjects Of their thirtieth
days study are already open to the view, or are
hidden in packing cases. The partial backward
ness Of the exhibitors them is little to the injury
OF the result as it is to the Encouragement of the
commissioners, who have done their own part in
good time. Their success to the last in minor ar
engagements il evident from the fact that % 900 la
dies and gentlemen yesterday assisted with COM
fort at the great ceremonial that multitude Of
several hundred thousand persons surrounded the
building without any disorder; that u string of
carriages, reaching from Charing Cross to Ken
sington set down their occupants easily and quiet
ly; and that, in a word, hardly blow was struck
or temper ruffied during the whole day. Such
result reflects credit the character of the coun-
try, and proves the deep fund Of good nature and
self government in the mass of the people.
II il not to be expected that all will equally enter
into the sentiment which seems to proper to such
spectacle There are those who will see nothing
but glass and iron in the building, men and women
in the myrads that visit it, and cotton or silk in
the fabrics exhibited. We expect to hear it called
an overgrown bazaar, or vast advertising ma
chine. We will appeal, then, to sense as well
romance. On the very lowest view of this Exhibit
ton it IL an opportunity Of learning the products of
different regions and the manufactures of differ
ent peoples, that could not have hoped to enjoy,
and which will not soon DO repeated. Everyb
who has to do with teaching-nay, everybody who
wishes for information himself knows the compare
tive uDproftablcness of mere reading or hearing.
The car is slow to receive and quick lose informa
ton The eye apprehends quickly and retains along
hold. Then here, at all events, if we have nothing
else, we have vast collection Of specimens, with
manuals arranging and describing them. ALI ma
ture and art arc brought under our survey, and an
area of twenty acres is made. were, an epitome
OF the whole world As mere lcsson in industrial
and social geography the opportunity is invalua-
Bile. We do not see why every child whom its pa
rents can bring to town should not take Lessons
at the Exhibition. But in this branch of know
ledge it is not uncommon to find grown-up people
as ill-informed as their own children. All ages,
therefore, will find it to their advantage to go to
school for the season in Hyde Park.I

We copied some days since letter from a
New York journal stating that there was rea-
son to apprehend attempts to excite hostlities
with the Indian tribes in California, for the
purpose of specializing in their repression. Our
late advices from San Francisco inform us that
our Indian Commissioners, sustained by the
United States and State troops, have succeeded,
in great measure, in bringing these Difficult
ties to an amicable termination.
