gated in comfortable public building, which wowld
dc credit to any State Of a free, enlightened. and
happy people. 1t is a subject Of congratulaton to
me, to you my friends, and to the world, that the
allwise Dsposer of Human Events has so declared in
His providence that the desert and the solitary
place shall be made glad, and the area OF human
freedom shall be extended, and civilization shall
rear her habitatons amid the silence of the eternal
hills the mighty forests, and lonely islands Of the
sea- II is this that has peopled the Atlantic slope
of our mountains, furnishing the world with this
vast republic of nations, and is now gathering in
her fist few more to throw over the Pacific slope,
as q counterpoise to trim her otherwise unequally
balanced ship of state
Deseret is not yet three years old, and yet such
has been the rapidty of her growth, tho extent OF
her improvements and the Development of her re-
sources, as to command the admiration and the
respect Of all whose lot has been cast within her
bounds; and those affair off, hearing the glad tdngs,
are stretching forth their itching palms towards
another of those free States where the oppressed 90
free, and the poor, through ordinary industry, find
ample provisions.
Forgive single allusion to the past. The opprcss-
ed became the oppressor, and the oppressed again 60
forth to form new communities, new settlements,
and new governments. Hence we here, amid
these vast mountains and solitary plains; hence
are we here, assembled in solemn council to frame
laws for the organization and rule Of communities;
and, what gives zest to the picture, devise such
laws and regulations as shall perpetuate, guaran-
et.
rious institutions to the latest generation.
Erie nds, in all your deliberations, ! shall be hap
Ply to participate far it shall be my privilege:
and, hoping that unanimity and zeal, wisdom and
intelligence, may characterize your eXertions for
the public good the ensuing session. that when you
return, you may be enabled to carry with you the
proud conviction of having ithfully discharged
your duty to your country and yourselves, is the
prayer of Your co laborer,
BELGIAN YouNG.
