airy to particularize; the marvellous
esults of American civilization and /
american enterprise in the develop /
nent of the rich and varied resources of |
he State are apparent ON every hand. |
What we, as citizens of this favored
and, are most concerned in at this

ION of its acquisition by the United
States-California's Jubilee, TO be held

Forsyth in the matter of sending al
available troops in his command

their patriotism in promoting the gre
project.
