begun to believe that the days OF revolution
and riots were over for the Aztec republic.

It takes long time for California to get

This constitution goes into operation at six
different dates; on the seventh OF May, the

all the officers elected went into Office; on

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The DEMOCRAT prints this morning In full
Gov. Wfltz's first message to the mem
bars OF the General Assembly. 1t Is
not our purpose, at this time, to re-
view this able and admirable State pa
per, which will be perused with the greatest
Interest by the people OF the entire State, and
of which no mere hasty or running comment
would render the justice which Is It's due.
Impressed, however, as we are with the man
Illness and dignity OF It's tone and with the
thoughtful and candid manner In which the
Governor has discussed the weighty affairs
which must, under tho serious condition
created by the adoption OF the new constitu-
ton, come under the consideration OF
the General Assembly, we cannot refrain
from expressing our belief that this mes
sage is happy augury OF what
may be expected from the present Executive.
With characteristic vtgor and candor Gov.
Witt has expressed his views fully and I'M
eauivocally on all topics Of public interest
and Importance, and has scorned the weak
refuge OF silence, which is too often, In these
latter days, resorted to by public men. He
has epoken so clearly and forcibly, and has
wlthal clothed his views In such chaste and
faultless English that there can BIO no posi-
biltty OF his being misapprehended on any
one of the many important subjects Of which
he has treated.
We do not think we err In our estimate OF
the document when we class 1t as one OF the
most scholarly and statesmanlike papers
which has ever emanated from public officer
In this country. When we charaeterizeit as fit
| to take rank with the messages written by JEFF
ferson Davis, President OF the late Confederate
States, we have paid 1t not only deserved
compliment but the highest. The exalted
Idea which the Governor has OF the duties
which devolve upon him may be inferred
! from the closing paragraph Of the message,
which is as follows:
Permit me- gentlemen. to say In conclusion
| that Tor yeu As Legislators, for those who pre-
| site over our court aud f0r me and other
| offiesrs who constitute the executive Depart
