At the recent Commencement of Wil liams College, Lient.-Gov.-Bross of Illinois, of the class of 18381 delivered an able and i n spiriting address before ' the Society of the Alumni on the aboi , elhotrie: . The address opened with ai.reference to the religious history of the College, and the fact that it wa s largely and intimately associated with those gretit.'l464eidelds'• Which within the past fifty years hid philfte r d the Gaspe' in every quarter 'of'• the . globe. It was welt for the graduates, the Students and friends of a college with sunlit history to examine the home field with reference to its just claims; and hence the theme chosen for c onsideration, The speaker first alluded briefly 'to what had been done in 'the past. Our fathers planted upon' this continent the gernii:of a new principle. " Freedom worship: God" is the religious element _of that prin ciple, and the political is‘, exnreem*in the Declaration of independence. Gyernmentg derive their just , powers from the consent of the governedJ Under-:the 'combined in fluence of these principleti,-the church' and. the school-11(04 Wereplinted side by side, , and they shoUld never be .undertralued by` the American titateStonn. ,Thider thence the,nation .414 d,, become poWerful, had been enal2,led troput clowti the:greatest rebellion knoWn in -history. •'The country was now free...

The speaker invited Sis Audience to go with him in imagination to that peak in the Rocky. Mountains which looki down from the north upon the. South. Pass.: Eastward itis more than two thousand miles to where the:east ern springs of ..the Mississippi murmiar . among the Allegheny . Mountains in West ern New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It contains more than one million two 'hun dred thoutiand _square ' miles, and is the , largest and the richest valley upon, the globe, Its products.:embrace everyting that grOws .in ::the • torrid ,And lemperate zones, everything that can minister to the wants and even to the luxuries of the highest civilization. This valley, in all its extent and richnesS,,is not more than half' occupied and developed. Schools and churches and edueational institutions 'are to be established in the western part of this great valley for fifty millions of people; who within the next, century will occupy it. Bmigration_fremAe.ow world is pig-, ins into it every year in , vast crowds; and, our own citizens should go with them in, sufficient numbers ' "to deeply imbue 'the foteign element'with the spirit Of our free institutions. In' this 4stj, alone can we become one hoinogeneous.ChriatialLpeople. The valley of tie Colorado. ot the West was then described; , and next that of Salt Lake, The• •Mormons-- have proved that whenever the country in the_,central re gions of the continent can be irrigated, it becomes immensely predictive. thereare,, now in Utah almost a hundred thousan4 people living , mainly by.agriculturev Salt Lake is a beautiful and highly prosperein city. Polygainyis the curse.of _Utah, end the next great workfor the Christian diirilk zation of , the nation to .do is to banish-it from these beautifill`Valleys. How it could , be done he did not pretend to predict, but in some way it,naust i he 'done, for the nation; could not endure so, deadly a cancer upon : the body. politic. The speaker then turned to the great valley of the Columbia—the third in size, but if its mineral resources be taken into account,. .the second in importance upon the continent. The large valleys along its tributaries in the Rocky Mountains were capable of sustaining a large population, and several States could be formed in that valley, the foundations of which the Chris, tian scholars of the land should lay in the principles of Christian truth and justice. Small beginnings.had been made in Idaho and on the lower Columbia, but the work was still mainly,to be done. Nevada is settling rapidly, and has in some sections considerable agricultural re sources, and its great mineral wealth will t s h oo e n U m n a io k n e . it one of the leading States of Lying mainly west;of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade range, and stretching a thou sand miles along the Pacific coast, are California,•Oregon and• Washington. Much has already been done here but late dis tricts of country are still unsetited. A great erapire is rapidly springing up upon the Pacific coast, and the present genera tion of Christian scholars there and hefe" must determine what thdcharaeter of that empire shall be. In thkregion so rapidly sketched there is territory enough to `form twenty Stites as large as Ohio., -0 ` Wen one studies the mineral resources' of this section, le , becomes absolutely be wildered with their 'expanse and 'Holiness., In six or eight years more the 'Pacific rail• - way will be eoMpleted, and then will "Colo-. rade, Idaho, Montana,: and Nevada pour out their treasures of solid gold and silvcr to pay off the national debt. Their dis-' covert' and rapid-deielopment is one of the most wonderful facts in history. Twenty years ago California'" was a MeXican pro vince; now she contributes yeaily 'forty five millions to the national treasury, and her chief city, of a hundred thousand in- habitants, sits like a queen •at the golden gate, and gathers beneath the stars and. stripes the commerce of Asia. This year. Idaho will produce silver by the ton, and the speaker saw more than a ton - of silver bricks in Nevada. To make shipments of a ton of silver from Virginia City, is,a very common occurrence Colorado has pro- . duced, since 1860, thirty millions in gold, •BALLARD'S THIRD NATIONAL SlioE „STORE lONE , PAIGE.)
