ferred by the hands of benifcent Creator
upon the ingenuity of man.
1t is to be hoped that our servants will
properly appreciate the blessings that we
have conferred upon them.
During the past season the peace OF the
Commonwealth has been happily preserved
mainly through the instrumentality of
our servants that were sent out last fall
on an electioneering campaign. These
men performed prodegies Of valor, they
traversed every mountain gulch, explored
every mountain gorge and scaled every
mountain height. Their bodies being
robed with comeIy apparel, together with
the intellectual expression of their coun-
tenances, entirely and efectually unhinged
the prowess of the mountain tribes.
Now therefore irasmuch as these men
sacrificed both principle and interest for
the public welfare, recommend that a
monument be erected to their memory at
the public expense.
recommend that an appropriation be
made at as early day as possible for the
geological survey Of the state and that all
mineral grounds discovered be reserved
for the use of the State. The practicable
ty of this measure cannot be questioned,
and the fact that from judicious sale of
the property within the limits of the pro-
posed reservation sufficient means will
be realized to pay the State debt and re-
lieve our people from the burthen of oner-
Gus taxation must commend it to the
favorable consideration of the representa-
ton of the people.
1t is to your Executive matter ofmuch
unconcern that the wishes of the people of
California has not been complied with and
the Indians removed beyond the borders of
civilization, in accordance with the estab-
lished practice of the General Government
in times heretofore.
In reference to the proper course to be
pursued in regard to the Indians that are
among us, I submit to you the doctrine of
two eminent statesmen for your very care
full consideration, hoping that thereby you
may be enabled to come to wise and just
conclusions.
"Madlson on Causes" Volume l, page
13, {" Man acts as he is acted upon" I"
this principal is beautifully illustrated by
use of water wheels, some wheels turn
over and some under, some turn to the
right and others to the left. Now these
wheels act when they are acted upon by
wafer, but the mode and manner in which
they do act depends upon their peculiar
construction. Thus it is, man acts as he
is acted upon but the mode and manner in
which he does act, depends entirely upon
his construction. "
jackson on Effects" Vol. 2, page 10l,
Conscience is an innate principle like the
sense of hearing, seeing, &c. hus by a
certain mode of culture, man will make
an apple tree produce sour or sweet ap-
pies, red or green apples, but he cannot
make an apple seed-neither can he make
an apple seed produce anything but apples ,
Now it is Tor you to determine whether
you can make Indians produce anything
BIT Indians or not. If in your judgment
the Indians are susceptible of cultivation,
an appropriation must be made for that
purpose, if not, your Executive will assume
the responsi bility and remove them beyond
the borders of civilization, and charge the
expenses of their removal to the General
Government.
Your Executive is willing to entertain
the doctrines of Madison and Jackson so
far as they are applicable to his situation
and condition, and also to be governed by
the established usages and practices of the
General Government, providing they do
not conflict with his personal interest.
Sovereigns, your attention is next in~
vited to fiR subject ofeducaton. No doubt
but what this subject has been dinned IN
your ears so often that it has become as
sounding brass or tinkling cymbal, but
nevertheless your early and serious dellb-
Grafton is imperiously demanded The
education of our youth is paramount to all
other considerations, and early legislation
upon the subject is deemed absolutely
necessary. I therefore recommend that
all lands in the State of California sus-
ceptible of cultivation be reserved for the
use of families and the education OF their
children, and that all unmarried men be
debarred the privilege of settling upon the
public domain, printers excepted. Printers
are class of community that cannot be
too highly appreciated, for they compose
directly the Intellectual worth of the State.
Now the idea which your Executive wishes
to convey is, that California must have her
share of intellectual and moral worth, or
forever remain where she is, robed in the
robes of servitude and waiting maid for
the older States. Mark, ind ependent
severe igns, when our elder states, services
were not properly appreciated, they laid off
their robes of servitude and declared their
independence.
1t was expected by the people of the
States that when Courts of Chancery were
abolished On the ground of their being a
chance matter. The relief that was ex-
pected from the courts substituted in their
stead has never been realized.
