In every nook of this burial ground.

Many are with me, yet I'm alone,

fOrnia over the eastern portion of the
American continent. They discovered
that, independently of its golden sands, it
possessed genial and heaIthful climate
and luxuriant soil. They bect me attach
ed to its eautlful rivers--ts pleasant and
productive valleys, and its expansive
plains, and instead of quitting the coun~
try forever, as originally intended, they
sent for aheir wives and little ones, to re-
join them i'll this sunny land.
The transcendant beauties of the coun-
try the fertility Of its soil, ms well rs ito
great mineral wea tn and commercial adj
vantages, were soon properly appreciated,
and then commenced the flood tide Of
immigration, which has since known no
ebh.
Among the many flattering evidences Of
our prosperity and progress in ngrruIue
raj pursuits, none speak more unnistak-
ably, than the increased demand and con-
sequent importation of farming imple-
ments Of every character; they give evil
rence of the peaceful and lucrative cali
ing Of many of our citizens.
The advantages of engaging in agricul.
tural pursuits cannot be too earnestly
urged upon the people, aud the employ
''I-'ik W IIbO dlil htDildl III SUM u CIlhItc
mel cannot fail to afford profitable returns.
Let Us hope, then, rs we have eve,V rea-
son To expect, that not on y oar mountains
aud river sands will continue to Weld
their rich treasures to the hand of indus
try, but that our vast and unequa led COM
fnercial and agricultural resources may be
so developed 10y the enterprise and perse-
verance OF our people, IA to elevate Cali
tOrnla IN the scale of nations, and render
her that popuIous and powerful sove-
reignty of the American Confederacy, for
which she was SO manifestly ''destined by
nature and by natures God"
For the blessings Of social order and
general prosperity which we now enjoy in
so high degree, claim nothing for the
government over which have been called
to preside. But 10 that spirit OF liberty
and progress SO eminently characteristic
of the American people, united with the
intelligence and determined energy of our
tellow-cItiZens, under the blessings Of
Providence, we owe all our greatness and
continued proSperity-and TO that spirit
ana intelligence must we ever look for the
welfare of our common country, and the
perpetulty Of the free institutions which
have made our Union ''beloved at home,
