ASTONISHING PRoFUNDrTY OF THE HERALD L
KNOCKED IN THE SHADE The
Herald. after several weeks hard labor and
careful observation, has come to the conclusion,
or made discovery! It says that the present
Presidential contest is :. sectional contest
Mr.. Buchanan being the Southern and Col. Ere
mont the Northern candidatev But the Her
a,d': eyes are too crooked to permit OF Its see
ing that Buchanan is also q MOI thern candidate,
and therefore twics the sectional candidate that
Fremont is, because supported by fuo sections!
And it is silly enough to declare that it cannot
see ghost Of chance For Mr. Fillmore
Good reason why--Fiilmore's chance amt
dead, and Of course its ghost is not poking
around the EeTcN Office - oussalG Jo4rnok

MN. in regard to this country, says:
Should the 1S45-50 rate of increase be main
tanned for fifty years. the population will
amount to 100000 ,O00-nearly equal to the
whole of continental Europe. Were it posi-
BILE to receive the same ratio maintained for
another fifty years. the census of 1850 would
give the astonishing number of 100000, 600.
German wars and French revolutions sink into
comparative insignifcance by the side Of con-
sderations like these. With such comment,
how we'll we may understand the sroar OF
laughter" with which the American Senate re-
Gently received the menaces of Britain When
the United States shook OF the yoke Of Eng
land their people numbered no more than g.
100000; when they were last measured against
Q European power, they were not more than
100000. Ten years hence they will be equal
to France or Austria. There hardly seems to
be limit to their growth. The valley of the
Mississippi would alone support the whole
Of Europe. In it's vast basin nations are grow
ing up as if at the bidding of enchantment.-
The valley already contains about th irteen
millions Of inhabitants; at the beginning OF
this century it did not contain as many thou
sands! There is moral as well as material
grandeur in this great movement OF the Saxon

State Fair.

After giving description of the beauty and
brilliancy of the company congregated at the
grounds of the State Fair at San Jose. the True
Californian says: "Our next adventure in
sightseeing was to stroll through the Hall Of
Exhibition. And really, we consider the dis
plays of the Vegetable products of our soil. as
the most wonderful, as we'll as the most legiti-
mate objects of exhibition at a fair.
We saw single cabages that might feast half
an army: pumpkins that might supply pies
for New England family from Christmas to
dog-days; onions that wouldmake all Wethers-
field weep; beets that were perfect monstroci-
ties. weighing, some of them, more than one
hundred pounds apiece; 1adishes large enough,
if followed out to make cradles Of: parsnips.
carrots and melons of every variety, Of the
same enormous sizes.
Apropos of that big cabbage head lady
requested US to cabbage part of one Of the
leaves, which we did. Upon doing so, we
heard sly laugh. but for the life of US we can't
sec the point of the joke.
Leaving the vegetable kingdom. we assembled
the stairs and entered into the fruit region
Immediately upon entering, the senses per-
cicyed the fragrance OF the atmosphere and en-
joyed the pleasure before the eye was gratified
with a look. Soon, however, we commenced a
NOE particular inspection, aud we certainly
never behed anything more wonderful than
these gifts OF our prolific soil.
Oranges, apples, pears, peaches. nectarnes,
apricots, plums cherries, figs. and pomegran-
ates, clustered in mountains before US. Never
did we see such gigantic pears and apples
The tabled gardens of the Hesperides never
yielded such. Our appetite was actually ap-
peased by establishment. and we believe, if an
opportunity had been allowed US to taste these
luscious fruits, we should have hesitated from
the effects of the awe produced by their prodi-
gious size.
The room was crowded with great variety
Of fruite, some of them native to the tropics.
others indigenous to northern c!imes, but all at
home in this glorious land.
There were many curious and remarkable
articles exhibited In this room, but we perceive
that we have already trespassed upon the pa
thence of our readers, and we must therefore
reluctantly omit to mention them more par
ticularly.
In conclusion. we have TO hesitation in say
ing that in our opinion, no country on earth
can compete with our favored and beloved Cal
ifornia, in the variety and quality of the pro-
ducts of the soil. " These shall be her resur-
rection when all else decays" when every COL
den sand shall have been gathered from the
bowels of her mountains. and the bottom of her
streams; when the miners pick shall cease to
be heard changing against the rocky sides OF
her bills, and every table mountain shall have
been honey-comed for the last time in search
of treasure, then the wealth Of her soil will
save her from the common fate of all mining
countriea, and still render her the envy of ma
tions, and the glory of the EARTH"

CONSCIENCE Conscience is the divinest gift
of God to man. 1t is that which ever speaks,
if man would listen, of an Omnipresent Deity.
1t is not the Handicapped, nor the flashing
lightning; it is not the raging of the ocean
storm, nor the terrific fury of a tornado; nor
the fiery burning of the lava from its mountain
furnace; it is none of those. that speaks to the
heart of man, but the spirit within him, that
says these are the avenging forms of an offen-
Ged God. Conscience! 1t is the consciousness,
deeply implanted in the soul, of the existence.
of the unacceptable presence of Superior Be-
ing; and its upbraidings are the torrents. the
reimbursement and the confusion of one who
knows himself to be standing before justly Of
Tended Judge. Let man have sickness and
sorrow, and scorn, and shame of face. and pow
erty. and exile; every evil that can be poured
ont of the walls of wrath upon suffering hui
mainly, and he may bear all with patience,
save the horrors, the undying horrors OF re-
proving conscience.

that look darkness and desolation forever

GEN. JAcKsoN's MorTo.-" Think before you
act, but when the time for action comes. stop
thinking" That is the true doctrine. Many
men fail in life. and go down to the grave with
hopes blasted and prospects of happiness I'M
realized. because they did not adopt and act
upon this motto. Nothing SO prepares man
for action as thought; but nothing so unfts a
man for action in the course of action. Better
by tar adopt some course, and pursue it ener-
getcally. even though it may not be the best,
than to keep continually thinking without ac-
ting. go ahead" ought to be printed in
every young mans hat and read until it be-
comes part of his nature, until be can act
upon his. own judgement, and not be turned
from his course by every wind of interested
advice. In conclusion we would say, "think
before you act, but when the time for action
comes stop thinking"
