the following eloquent language So long,
rs the rivers shall flow down from the
S;yrras to the sea, 50 long will The name of
Su;ier haunt with pleasant memories the
fertile valleys which they water and adorn.
The glory Of his fame shall be rs lasting as
the eternal bills which opened their golden
hosums at his bidding, and gave their
boundcsS wealth 10 enrich and tructity the
world, and the specdier development OF
human progress.
