As u friend, theruforo, of the whole people, earnestly earnest-ly dcsiriDg tho poaco and prosperity of all, 1 urgo you to take such stepa, at this session, rs will establish harmoni-' harmoni-' ou.i relation.! but woo n the people of ! Utah and tho general government, up-on up-on this subject. There i-i now no uimuto law in Utah upon the subject of marriage. J do not hesitate to say that, in 'my juJs-incut, juJs-incut, there ought to be. .Marriage maybe a fiacnimont. It is none the loss a civil contract. This i-i the established estab-lished doctrine of ih. Kepublie. It ought to be so re: aid d in this Tci,-i-tory. There :uo many lights, incident to, j and growing out uf, tho marriage re-; re-; lation, which limlo it ahsoiutcly iieces-j iieces-j siry that there fdmuid bo a plain, posi- tive statute upon that subject Mich as I the right of tho wile to support, and to j the protection of her person, including the protection of her children; her j right to a separate estate, nnd to her j individual earnings; her vicht of dower , jn the estate of her deceased hiiaband. 'l'he-o are claims which uro in harmony with tho spirit of the nc, and founded i in equity and good judgment, i can-j can-j not urgeyou too strongly to speedily ennet such a law upon marringe'iw will uicet I ho publio want. - By so tloinrr ! you will render to tho people of the j Toiriiury an invaluable service, in pve-yenting pve-yenting interminable end vexatious litigation, lit-igation, which othorwi':" must inevitably inevita-bly come. ll rlgnilou. As iigiieuhuro is the b.iiis ol' rial strength, it is a duty which we owe to the publio at large to nssist, with all the means at our command, to tuili.e every available acre of land within our borders. harco portions of tho Territory arc now unproductive and worthies-?, for j the lack of moisture; most of which can be reclaimed by establishing a fys-i fys-i tern of irrigation. Tho physical ioa-1 ioa-1 tures of tho country, in ruonnlnins, streams and plain, aro happily adapted to such; and I hope that, as representatives represen-tatives of tho whole people, you mtiv ; inaugurate and totter iome system which flhall accomplish the end so much needed. And, in this connection, connec-tion, permit uie to suggest that the Territory, as the ward of lie irovon-tuent, irovon-tuent, should ask the assistance of congress con-gress in this great work. While I am aware that it is now (b.e policy ol the government to save the public domaiu for bona fide seitlers, yet thero is no force in the policy as applied to; tho class of lands iu question: ques-tion: einco, unreclaimed, they are wholly worthless. Oihat value to tho government are those aiid plains as they now are '! They cannot be oc-1 cupied, nor can they bj sold at any price. If, by tho donation of a portion por-tion of those lands enterprise can be encouraged which will make the remainder re-mainder valuable, it would be but tlio part ot good judgment to make the do-' nation. The plaius of Bear river, of Jordan, Provo, Heaver, St. Gcoriro vast districts of great iutrinsie incut can bo ouly utilized in this way. And I rocouiiiiend that you uie moralize congress for a grant of land to be ibed, under proper restrictions, for the purpose pur-pose of inaugurating and completing this ureat work.
