Pioneers, although you have . done much; accomplished many things; by your unyielding perseverance and determined industry have built our beaut fut city, a work so nobly commenced must be complete I. Although we have Montana on the north, with her twenty thousand enterprising popr.Ltien,- whoje trade is ours and whose rich deposits of gold will add to our stores of wealth; while Idaho, not the least of all the Territories, is ours by reason of her location, her trade cannot escape ns, and she, too, must contribute to make our city great Aud although we have in the valleys immediately surrounding us twenty thousand people who ire just waking up from a sleep that has kept them for all ibese long years unconscious of their rights, and upon whose minds the light cf our free institutions is diwning, and tojrbom an hour approaches when they may use at pleasure the privileges God has endowed them with,, and they to will add to our prosperity. Ye are also to supply the thousands of Settlers for hundreds of miles to the west of us along' the line of the great thoroughfare, and while every mountain range cu the east and oa the west, to the north and to the south, contains wealth untold, whose silver veins will yield tbeir stores to fill our coffers; aod onr own beautiful nnd fertile valley, hitherto a barren waste, will wxra teem with a thon-Ranhomes ,of affluence, resulting from the tillage of the soil, whos proprietors inti- -t come to ns for a market for the fruits of their latKirs, and enrich us with their tra le; and while you Lave so nearly completed the steamboat w hich is soon to bring to nsajminmerce that vrill surpass in magnitude nil other resources of our growing city, we have yet a work to d the resources of which are ours, an 1 it is ours to e theta to a lvantage. The greatest nation cm the glob may well ask at our hvnds a solution of the vexed Mormon problem. There is scarcely a home from Maine lo Cshforni i whose inmates are not familiar with ear eitna-tioand all agree that with the advent-ege- s wo enjoy of rapid and cheap transportation, with onr fertile valleys, with our navigable lakes an 1 streams, and our extended rouges of rich and nutritious grasses; our immense mining resources, embracing as they do the largest extent and richest ores of sdj milling region in the world, we will soon gather together a hundred thousnd of the bravest and best of citiz?us, whose very presence will secure the most implicit obedience to the laws of the nation, and accomplish a work that legislation and coercive measures never can. Then is not this the proper solution, and shall wo not go forward with our might and main, encourage every enterprise to the full extent of our ability that tends to develop the resources cf our Territory, encourage frieudly rela.ions with those who difer with us in opinion? sod era doeg the advocates of civil and religious liberty in America will cease to blush at the mention of the name of Utah.
