PoLTICs IN CALTFoRNIA.--A careful pc
rusal of our latest files of San Francisco
and Sacramento papers satisfies us that the
next State election in California will he OF
great Importance. The American party
there is virtually defunct. The detection
of ex-senator Foote seems to have been
the signal for large number Of others of
like principles to bolt. Many Of these are
said to have published statements announ,
cling that they had gone over TO the Dem
ocratic party, to which they originally be-
longed. These acquisitions were, however,
regarded as of so little consequence that e
question was agitatiDg the Democratic or
ganization as to whether the repentent
blacksliders should be permitted to take
part in the primsFy elections. Il seems to
be agreed that the result OF the Presiden-
tal election has disbanded the American
party in California. At Sacramento the
followers of that faith held meeting and
resolved not to make any separate noini-
nations. The Republican party is alive
and vigorous. 1t will, in all probability,
succeed to a large portion of the fragments
of both the Democratic and American par
ties Philadel phia American.

OPINIONS OF TINS YEARS CRop.-The
crops throughout the civilizad world, give
cheering promise of an abundant harvest.
Throughout Canada the condition Of the
crops affords the most sanguine hopes
The late rains, though in some instances
they may have done some injury, they
have in general done inealeulable good
According to the Montreal ays,the guam
sity of land under grain in Lower Canada
is unusually great. The grain harvest on
the Continent CT Europe promises briIli-
ant results. In some Of the southern dis
tricts of France it is already being secured.
In England all kinds of crops look better
than they have done for years past. In
some of the Southern States of the I'm
ion, the new wheat has already been
brought into the market. The New York
Journal of Commerce says new North
Carolina red wheat was exhibited on
Change, on Friday. 1t was a sample of

The Dne Great Idea i'm the Biz
be.

As In Beethoren's matches sonnets
there runs one idea, worked out through
all the change of measure and of key, now
almost hidden, now pointed at in wild mi
nor sweetness, now breaking out IN rlch
natural melody, whispered in the treble
murmured in the bass, dimly suggested IN
the prelude, but growing clearer as the
work proceeds, winding gradually back Till
il ends in the KEY in which it began, and
closes in triumphant harmony, so through
out the whole Bible there runs one great
idea. mans ruin by sin aud his redemption
by grace; in word, Jesus Christ the Sd
,ior. This runs through the Old Iesta-
ment, that prelude TO the New dlmly
promised a; the fall, and more clearly to
Abraham; typifed in the ceremonies OF
the law; all the eveuts OF sacred history
paving the way for his coming; his descent
proved in The genealogies Of Ruth and
Chronicles; spoken Of as Shiloh by Jacob,
as the Star Of Baaam, as the prophet by
Moses. the son of David OF the Psalms, the
Redeemer looked for by Job, the beloved
of the Song of Songss
We find him in the sublime strains OF
the lofty Isaiah, in the writings Of the
tender jeremiah, in the mysteries of the
contemplative Ezekiel, in the visions OF
the beloved Daniel; the great idea grow
ing clearer and clearer rs the time grew
onl Then the full harmony broke out in
the songs of the angels, "Glory to God in
the highest, on earth peace, good will to-
ward mon" And evapgelists and apos-
ties taking up the theme, the strain closed
in the same key in which it began; the
devil who troubled the first paradise, for
ever excluded from the second, man restor-
ed to the favor Of God, and Jesus Christ,
the key note of the whole!
