Gov. Caleb Lyon has arrived at thst place
and assumed The du;i.s Of his Office. His ar.

;ion. when the Governor is reported by the
.ige as having spoken as follows:
Geatiemer ef Leristo~: Accept my cor
dial and earnest thanks for your unexpected
and hearty welcome. cannot appropriate
so fat,ering tribute to myself, but look upon
this demonstration as one bcspeaking truest
loyalty to the Union. fidelity to the Constitu-
ton. aud heartfelt sympathy for the Govern

vaiIly threaten our national existence. In
the arduous path that lies before M, ask

people of this Territory, pledging myself in an

best interests, the development of your resour.
ces, and the faithful administration Of your
laws. 1t is with no ordinary feelings that
contemplate the future of Idaho. Her wealth,
embosomed in thousand hll-sides, waiting
the hand Of labor to yield its precious re-
wards, her rocks mottled with silver and
vtined with gold, her river bottoms glowing
with bovnteous harvests of ripened grain.
Cities have risen with the rapidity of magic
upon her soil, the shrill whistle of the steam
saw-mill is echoed in her timber ravines, and
the lonely trail of the Indian has become the
busy highway through the rocky canyon and
by mountain pass, of her undaunted pioneers,
This is truly the promised land, where the
miner, farmer, mechanic and merchant, by
their irrepressible energy, make success cer4
tainty and failure an exception. The servant
of such people may we'll feel grateful to that
kind Providence who permits him to assist in
laying the lasting foundation of a mighty
commonwealth, and without whose blessing all
flesh is grass, and nations brt shadows.
Again ! thank you, praying that God give US
a complete triumph to oar armips, n lasting
peace and unboundcd prosperity to Idaho.
KICK HIM DowN.-That's right: keep
linn doun-what right has a young man to
attempt to earn an honest living? Don't give
him our patronage-don't encourage him;
you have gained competence, therefore
"Turn UP your nose and put on airs,
With insolcnt pride and station
and throw cold water on the efforts of those
who are yet struggling. If kind word-or
your patronagc-would throw momentary
gleam of satisfaction across the path of the
young man-don't give it to him-but keep
linn dorm!
Especially if he has the manliuess ever to
submit to an old togy's suggestions, it is nee:
cssa,y to keep him down!
If he is engaged in business for himself
look wisc--shake your head-prophesy q
failure-and do your best to kick him down
hill.-Er.
The above are the secret sentiments of a
certain class in every community, who in their
public speeches or private conversation, prate
largely about encouraging enterprise and
good principles in young men, while in their
daily walks Of life, they withhold their words
Of encouragement, and pass them by unnoticed,
or what is worse, sneer at their efforts or rob
them Of their just due. Weknow many such,
some of whom profess more than we. or they,
with our impe,fections are able to live up to.
But thanks to our maker, he has so constitu,
ted some young men that they ,cont stay
kicked down, until they are kicked under tho
