WAuNlNG FROM CAL1roRNIA

n WARNING FROM CALIFoRNIA.-
According to the San Francisco Bulletin.
l'hc State Of California is full of starving
clerks and thriving laborcrs. Every
steamer brings young fellows from
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
|Bailimorc, and even from London,
|Glasgow. France and Germany, look
ling for situations The condition Of
these yonne men is thus Described
Some have even been foolish enong't
to throw up berlhs al home, thinking
That because California is a pro- >per ,us
Icountry, clerks must be in demand.-
When they get here they walk the
streets, bore their acqnaintances, prey
upon their friends, and are snubbed bv
strangers who are weary of answering
the common interrogatory, DO YOU
want clerk in this establishment p
Men with trades, on the contrary, are
|said 10 be generally prosperous; AID it
Ihas been proved that five years OF
|steadv manual labor in California, at the
present rates Of wages, will give MAI,
Ia good house and II good farm.

lsociation, its success its prospects
iof success, &c.
We organized an Association here
April llth. known as the Monticello
democratic Conservative Association
Our Constitution is very much the
ssamc as those of other similar associa-
|, ,tions or clubs but differs from many
,of them, in that it requires an Exccu-
itive Committee of five members
3whose business it is to engage speak
iors for the different meetings, to pro.
,curc and report names of applicants
for membership, &c.
We mention this, because we re.
1gard the existence of such commit
toe, as of tho greatest Importance.
Our officers are, Col. w. j. Alston
President; DR.. w. p. Curry, Col. T.
~. Dawkins, and Maj. j. r. Lylcs,
Vice Presidents; and II. NJ Zcaly
aSccretary.
We have now one hundred and five
members, scventy-ivc (75) white, and
thirty (3O) colorcd members.
Although our success in making
members of the colorcd people is not
jail that could be desired. still consid-
|crable has been accomplished.
The Radical vote has been diminish
led l30, annd VIC have hope of dimin-
fishing it to a minority, at least by tn,
3noxt election. This will certainly be
the case, It all white men will do their
duty.
We are sorry to say, that there is a
| good deal of apathy among some of on,
1whitc men and VIC fear there is eve,
among few. On tho
3wholc, however, we feel encouraged
Iand hope to be able to report some
lthing more interesting at some future
time. w. j. ALSTON,
