CALIFORNIA LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGE
We have received from Bentham Fabian, secre-
tary of the above Association, circular setting
forth its objects, and containing 4 list of officers
and subscribers. 1t appeals to all citizens who
feel an interest in the welfare of our young and
growing State to cooperate with the projectors
in forwarding the ends of the Association, which
entirely of public character. 1t has thus
far been supported entirely by voluntary contri-
buttons from philanthropic citizens of San Fran
cisco who have the interest of the State at heart
and wish to encourage immigration by providing
employment for labor and to promote the invest
ment Of capital in all parts of California. The
address to the public sets forth that
At the present time, when the eyes of the
world are turned towards this country, and the
well established facts of its enormous mineral
wealth. agricultural resources and advantageous
geographical position have brought about the
establishing of direct railroad communication
with the Eastern continent, and steamship COM
munication with Asatic empires, it is not to be
wondered at that unparalleled tide of immi-
grafton should set in to our shores. no the re-
fcctive mind it will therefore suggest itself that
movement is necessary for bringing about
healthy equpoise between Capital and Labor.
With a view, therefore, of preventing the evils
of an imminent PLETHORA of immigration produ-
cling in its train great vexation, and, in many in
stances, absolute want, the California Labor and
Employment Exchange has been established
Its objects will be to learn from all reliable sour
ces, throughout the State of California where
skilled or unskilled labor is needed, and can be
used in all branches of industry to ascertain
where public lands are open for presumption and
settlement, or private lands for sale in small
tracts, and to procure other information which
may be of service to all persons arriving in the
port of San Francisco with the intention of set
thing in the State and engaging in labor of any
description therein, to the end that immigration
may be encouraged, and all incoming mechanics,
farmers and laborers may, with the least posi-
BILE loss of time, be advantageously established
in their several callings.
1t is hoped land indeed, counted upon) that
this grand object will meet with the hearty CO.
operation of the community generally that mer-
chants, manufacturers, contractors, farmers mi
ners, and all others interested in the well-being
of our State, will contribute of their means to
its support"
We notice by the San Francisco papers that
large numbers of newly-arrived adventures from
the Eastern States and Europe are daily being
furnished with employment through the medium
of this new Labor Exchange. Membership in
the Association may be secured by the payment
of Ten Dollars.

dent declares in favor of Westnoreland for Con-
gress in the following decided terms
Our CANDIDATE FOR CoNGREss.-We announce
as our choice for Congressman from the Third
(this) District, the Hon. Chas. Westmoreland, of
humboldt. He is an answering Union man,
both hated and feared by rebel sympathizers and
the Democracy generally. This take as one
very stong evidence of his fitness for the occu-
pancy of u seat in National Councils. We
feel certain that every Union man will rally to
MS support. While we shall faithfully support
any other candidate that may be chosen by the
nominating convention, we most emphatically
express our preference for Mr.. Westmoreland.
