described by Bayard Taylor. The
signing of the new constitution, whose

land of gold almost seems like the land
of magic-in the rapiljty of changes
in the brief lapse o; months. Two
years ago, how little was California
thought OF, now it is the promised
land of the world. Its Constitution
fortunately too is worthy of lis might,

destined to exercise not less influence
on Asia, than the Atlantic States Of
