IRE MONROE DOCTRINE-PAST AND
PRESENT.
(For The'Press.3
When President MONROE put forth his
declaration, that this country would look
upon future attempts on the part of Euro
pean Governments to colonize any portion
of the American Continent, as an unfriendly
act. toward the United States, the main ob
ject which he had in view, and perhaps the
only one, was to wnrn Spain . against fur
ther measures in respect to, her revolted
colonies in this hemisphere.
It is believed that in this action of Presi
dent MONROE, the British Ministry con
curred.
The Spanish colonies on the continents,
one and all, having gained their independ
ence, the declaration of Mr. MONROE sub
sided, and was almost forgotten, until re
`•ived during the war with Mexico.
Upon's, message of President Pout, re
commending the seizure and holding of
Yucatan, because of the designs the Eng
lish were supposed to entertain against that
province, the question was debated in the
Senate, and the proposition was rejected.
The Southern leaders of that day, ex
pressed their belief, that matters pertain
ing to the Monroe doctrine, were subjects
for diplomatic action, but not for military
measures, even when a portion of the ene
my's country Was in question, during ac
tual war. An exception was made, how
ever, in the case of Cuba, Mr. CALHOUN
saying, that the United States should
take possession of that island by force of
arms, if it should be likely to undergo a
change of owners, on the ground that it
commanded the Gulf of Mexico, his real
desire being, of course, to add Cuba as two
more slave States to the UniOn.
The advent of the French army and of
MAXIMILIAN, as Emperor, into Mexico,
brings up the Monroe doctrine, somewhat
amplified and intensified, once more, and
the idea that the United States Mast expel
both army and Emperor is now somewhat
extensively advanced and advocated
throughout the country, upon the ground
of that abstraction of a past age and genera
tion.
The condition of things upon this conti
nent and in the Pacific ocean has undergone
a total change since the time of Mr. MON
ROE. We have now populous, wealthy,
and thriving States upon the shores of the
Pacific, with which our mail and travel
communication is mainly maintained by
the Isthmus route, and, commercially, by
Cape Horn. England has new and grow
ing colonies, adjoining our own States upon
the main, and others more remote, as New
Zealand and New Holland. France also
has colonies at the Marquesa, Tahitia, and
New Caledonia, and is in quest of other
islands to found more. Intercourse be_
tween our possessions on the Pacific side
and those of England and France with
China and with Japan is increasing annu
ally in value and in importance. All the
fertile groups of islands in the Pacific ocean
are receiving or awaiting white settlers, and
are producing tropical products, which find
a market in Australia, Chili, and California.
The native rule over these groups will soon
be transferred to stronger hands, a matter
in which England and France are greatly
interested, and will probably divide the
spoils. We are now commencing a line of
steamers from San Francisco to Japan and
China. An English company have had
steamships from Valparaiso to Panama,
and by the West Indies to Southampton,
for many years. An English line from
Australia to Panama is in contemplation.
These surprising developments, as in
teresting to England and France, and to
Europe generally, as to ourselves, were cer
tainly not in contemplation when Mr.
MortnoE made the declaration by which it
is now sought to bind the action of the
Government of the United States, even to
the extent of plunging the country into a
foreign war.
On the Atlantic side Spain still holds
Cuba in closest contiguity to the debate
able land of Mexico and Central America ;
holds it safe, it is to be hoped, from future
filibusters, now that the slave power of this
country has been laid in the dust. Near
by to Cuba, England has Jamaica, and
Barbadoes a little further off. Denmark has
St. Thomas and Santa Cruz. France has.
Martinique, Guadeloupe, and French
Guiana upon the Spanish Main. Holland
has adjacent colonies on the Main and the
island of Curacoa. Brazil, extending over
the greatest portion of South America, re
mains as a monarchy, and by intermar
riage with the family of LOUIE. PHILIPPE,
has extended and strengthened its connec
tion with Europe.
The modern interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine, at present seeking popularity
among our people, proclaims to all these
nations, and to those dependencies border
ing upon America, that neither all of them,.
nor any of them, shall do anything upon
this western continent that may be dis
pleasing to us; and forbids them to set
further foot upon it without our permis
sion. Should they presume so far, the great
American eagle will rend them to pieces.
Now, considering what we have had to
go through with recently to maintain the
Government of which that same eagle is
the emblem, over our own undoubted pos
sessions, and, considering further, that we
shall have full occupation for years to come
in the management of our OWEI - affairs,
financial, political, and social, it certainly
does not seem to be a propitious moment
for casting down the gage of defiance to
half a score of nations, and daring them to
touch a finger of it, even supposing our
selves to be altogether in the right.
We may be in the wrong. Europe says
we are in the wrong, and is not disposed to
allow us to be the unquestioned arbiter of
the new world, and sole dispenser of its
products, or to have within our control all
the overland routes to the Pacific.
Remembering the moral of the fable of
the clog and the shadow, let us not be too
greedy after what we do not need, nor,
under the influence of an absurd vanity,
and of a frantic jealousy, grasp at some
thing that we cannot hold. Nations, like
individuals, can be over-ambitious, and,
while striving to become too great, may
fall, never to rise again.
England assumed to be the chief dis
poser of public affairs in Europe and
throughout the world generally, and during
many years of folly and crime expended
money and men unsparingly to effect her
object. But she overtasked herself, and
has subsided, to be the mere lacquey of
France and an obsequious ally of Louis
liArormax.
Russia, hankering after Turkey, as some
of our folks do after Mexico, brought a war
upon her hands of four to one, but did not
get Constantinople, and lost her fleet and
fortress in the Black Sea. Examples might
be multiplied, but it is needless.
We must either, it would seem, maintain
the Monroe doctrine or give it up. If the
latter, like a sensible people, we can then
put our own ham ft order, make ourselves
strong at home, within our own borders,
and let the world wag on as it may outside.
If we are to be Quixotic and run a tilt
against the rest of mankind, because our
neighbors' affairs are• not managed to our
liking, we shall never again know the re
pose of peace, and, instead of disbanding
the army and navy, should put both ser
vices on a war footing forthwith.
England and France will fight upon this
question, with other Powers for allies.
They are determined to oppose the preten
sions of this country to interpose the whole
length of the American continent between
Europe and the vast and varied interests
which pertain to the Pacific ocean, and they
will not shirk from the appeal to arms, for
which they are well prepared.
We shall have to fight in such a vivre
alone, and may contemplate . as among the
first effects of the war the complete de
struction of our ocean commerce, the loss
of the Isthmus route, and of all communi
cation with Oregon and California except
overland,
We cannot invade England or France,
nor could they invade this country. We
could injure but not destroy their com
merce, and might conquer Canada and a
portion of • Mexico, neither of which WO
want. Whatever other issues would ensue
at the close of the war, this may be set down
as certain! That the Powers allied against
us, in despite of all possible efforts on our
part, Would succeed in making good a lodg
ment in some part of Mexico (the French
are already in possession) or Central Ame
rica, and wOUld remain there. We should
thus lose the very identical right, privilege,
or phantom, for which we engaged in the
war.

tion afforded him by the friendly relations of
the two countries, and concluded as follows:
"Columbia in her place' as sympathy with
your calamities and with your victories, and
MS celebrated with a jubilee the returns of

TEE MINING SYSTEM OF TEVIIII,CKY MOUNTAINS

the e .
Gilpin, on the mining system of the Rocky
half-peer Mountainsn
seven resources lectur w
e of
was introduced
by the Hon. Henry D. Moore, who !fthi I have
been requested ito discharge a very pleasant
duty. I apprehend there is not a gentleman
present who does not feel a deep and abiding
interest lu everything which pertains to the
Mighty resources of our beloved country.
Especially do we all of US feel a deep and
lively interest, at this time, in that far-off por
tion of our land of which, until lately, we have
known so little. We have with us to-night a
gentleman who, from his own personal know ,
lodge and observation, Can Speak.with autho
rity on that subject, and he has kindly con
sented to favor us with reference to the mine
ral wealth of that great store-house of nature.
I now have the pleasure to introduce to you
Governor Gilpin.
Mr. Gilpin advanced and spoke as follows
GENTLEMEN, FELLOW-GaTrzra6 05 TN'S CITY OF
PHILADELPHIA: It is in reponse to the polite
and flattering invitation of a number of the
citizens of tins city that I now have the plea
sure to appear before you. Although my an
cestors were among the original founders of
this great City, and, bating myself passed a
portion of my boyhood with its preeineta—
being indebted to the University of Pennsyl
vania for my education—yet the great plains,
the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific coast
became, at an early age, the scenes of my ac
tion. It is now, for the first time in my life,
that I have the happiness to address my fel
low-citizens of Philadelphia.
The subject, then, before us is the great
mountain system of our continent and coun
try. lam indebted to my knowledge of this
to the fact that I have, for the last twenty
years, participated in nearly all the exploram
tions which have developed
the physical re-
sources of the plains and those great chains of
mountains and from having taken part in the
wars which have carried our country's flag
across the continent and planted it on the
coast of the Pacific, making us the only home
Christian Power resident on the rim of that
populous and mighty Ocean.
In order to treat this subject as miderstand
ingly and intelligently as possible, I must first
give a condensedd
an preliminary sketch of
the physical geography of our continent, and
of its difference from the configuration of the
other continents. It will be necessary to say
something of the isothermal theory, which ex
plains the peculiar climates of those elevated
and interior regions. I shall then Appko&ClL
the specific subject, the history of Colorado, its
mineral resources, and their stupendous vo
lume.
Physical geography is that science which
ea - plains to us te profile of the earth, and con
sists chiefly in delineating the great basins
which collect the drainage of the continent,
and convey it into the rivers, which discharge
it into the sea ; and in portraying the outlines
of the dividing barriers which divide those
basins from one another. Thus t in North
America, for instance, is seen a chain of moun
tains which, commencing in Newfoundland,
passes parallel to the Atlantic ocean,
and ter
minates at Baton Rouge, on the Mississippi
river. This isknown to you as the Allegheny
mountains. Between it and the sea is a terri
tory drained by small rivers which receive the
tidal waters and drain into the ocean.
On the western side of the Continent, how
ever, the mountain system is more estpansive,
and assumes the most stupendousproportions.
The great chain of the Andes, which belts the
earth under various names, traverses the
Southern Continent, the isthmuses of Central
America, and enters the Northern Continent,
as lt were, at Tehuantepec. From hence, ex
tending through to the Northern Sea, it Sepa
rates into two lines, known and defined as the
T
Northern Andes. he one on the left follows,
as in South- America, the coast of the Pacific
sea, and, preserving the same characteristics
ofimmense altitude, is known and defined as
the f° Sierra Nevada, "The Snowy Range." It
is visible from ships sailing on the Pacific
ocean. Betiveen this and the sea is the declivi
ty of the Pacific, of one hundred miles in ave
rage width, and five thodsand miles long, and
which is a counterpart of and balance to the
niaratinie declivity of the Alleghenies. Simi
lar mountains are found on the coasts of the
Arctic Sea and of Labrador.
Occupying the - whole area within this cir
cuniferent range of mountains, broken through
only in four places, is the great calcareous
plain, the bed of a primeval sea, which con
sists of four - basins '
the Mississippi, the St.
Lawrence, iludeonfa bay, and the MaCkenzle,
approaching one another near their sources
by gentle prairie acclivities, (which rolled into
one) form a vast amphitheatre. This has often
been defined the most magnificent duelling
place marked out by God for man's abode.
This then is the simple hydrography of our
North, American continent. The maritime
declivity is one-seventh of the area of the
continent; the mountain envelope is two
sevenths ; and then we have the vast homo
geneous calcareous plain of the four basins,
which take up four sevenths of the area of the
continent. It will he pe - keeived than that the
configuration of the North American Conti.
nent is concave.
But if we pass from our own country to the
other continents, which have been so happily
and thoroughly delineated in the works of
Humboldt ; we shall see that the hydrography
Of the continents of Europe, of Asia, of Africa,
of South America is the precise reverse of that
of North America, especially in the heart of
the . great Asiatic continent. The immense
chains of the Siberian mountains of the north,
and the Himalayas in the south, pass from
east to west in the heart of the Asiatic conti
nent, In the same way in - Europe, commenc
ing at Gibraltar, under the various names of
the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Carpathians, the
backbone passes centrally through Europe,
dividing its waters into the basin of the Medi
terranean and the basin of the Baltic. So in
Asia, those immense plateaus of the highest
altitude have their drainage by great rivers
to the Arctic Sea on the north, thrOegh China
to the land of the rising sun on tile east, and
to the south by the rivers which penetrate to
the peninsula of India. It is the same, so far
as we are acquainted with the African conti
nent ; the Nile flowing in one direction. and
the Niger in another. It is the same with the
continent of South America, which Is drathed
by the rivers Amami, Orouoco, La klata, and
Magdalena.
All the continents then, other than North
America, are CONVBX in their physical con
figuration. The older continents resemble a
bowl, -which, placed bottom upwards. scatters
whatever may be poured upon it while
Northern America resembles that bowl right
side up, which receives and gathers to its cen
tre whatmer enters within its rim.
These Mdinal physical facts are of the pro
foundest interest to every American ; to every
philanthropist, to every lover of the institu
tions and liberties of America. It is the pro
found secret Why in the old continents, politi.
cal distraction has forever been the destiny Of
the people. It is the secret why upon this
American continent the aboriginal people
were uniform. Those of the European stock
who came into it, have become uniform from
the same cause. It has been so since the birth
of time, and this it is that will render the unity
of the. American people indestructible and
perpetual.
Having glanced at the physical geography
of the globe, ]et us look at another feature,
for which we are indebted to the meditations
of the immortal Humboldt. The Isothermal
theory-, whichtime has already converted into
a fixed science. This, like many other dis
coveries, seems to have been made to enable
us to erect society in the wilderness of Ame
rica,-having an absolute guide by which we
mayintelligently arrange our progress as we
go, and not be overthrown, and, for long pe
riods of time, be ilistraeted by the blunders
that society has experienced in its march
through the European and Asiatic continents.
On a map of the world, properly arranged,
may be seen the two great oceans—the Atlan
tic and Pacific—and the continent of America
in those oceans dividing them, between the
wes t e rn shores of Zarope and the oriental
shores of Asia. Across this map may be seen
a belt with a central dark line running through
it. This is the Isothermal zodiac, and the dark
line the Isothermal axis. In the immortaltphi
losophic minds of Tacitus of antiquity, and
Idontesoileiu of modern times their penetrat
ing thought sought to explain the relations
between the progress of the human race and..
climates. They referred to the subject, but
were lost, andonly left a few hints. It is
to the experiments of the immortal Hum
boldt that we are indebted for our know
ledVe in this field of investigationl is that
for the
Crm e a l t a e a s t locf Isothermal
e e r a r gii. t a n r e e ory.
tempered t by t the
oceans. and the. atmospheric currents which
float over them. The lines of the progress of
the human race accommodate themselves in
stinctively to temperature. It is distinctly
distanmible that the white races whose ear
11.e.st history seems to have been in the east,
on the Asiastie continent, upon the flanks of the
Caucasus, were especially adapted to the nar
row belt and the medium of warmth, which is
fifty-five degrees of temperature. throughout
the year- The axis of the isothermal zodiac
has been determined by millions of experi
ments, extending over a . period of fifty or
sixty years, and it is th location of fifty
five degrees of mean temperature of the
earth, round the year. The white races,
then, have traversed in. the densest numbers
and thegreatest energy along this line. Look
ing back through the seta, We discover that
the instinct of man has been to locate theft
great cities and the densest form of their
population round the northern hemisphere of
the earthlulion this line, which passes tlarough
Babylon, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, Paris,
London,' through.. the cities of New York,
Philadelphia, and 'Baltimore, through the
Western towns of Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Leavenworth, Denver, Salt Lake
therg City, and San Prancisco.
As climates follow this belt of thirty de
grass in width, the increasing heats of the
tropical regions have repelled our races, and
they have never permanently passed over its
southern edge, For the same reason the cold
of the North has repelled them at its northern
edge. Within this belt four-fifths of the habit
able portion of the globe lie, and we find
ninety-five-one hundredths of the population
of the earth, and forming a continuous zodiac
of empires from the rising to the setting of
the sun. These empireelonce formed, have
never perished. The Americans represent
the newest family Of the human race in
the glorious planting of empires upon
the American continent, with all the expe
rience of our predecessors behind us, and
with the immense advantages given by the
configuration Of the continents. The last and
greatest of the empires is the RephilliCall em
pire of North America, which completes the

a great part of the isothermal zodiac has been
unoccupied, and the column in its progress

the Isothermal zodiac is occupied by the vast
surface of the Mediterranean and the Baltic
Seas, that no land exists there except the
limited peninsula of Asia Minor, of Greeee, Of
Italy and Spain. To the north were the great
mountains ; the space for habitation was
limited, and the column of progress in the
ancient world was narrow and long. It was
vertically obstructed, and in that direction its
course was checked. It was perpetnalty liable
to be Overrun by hordes of barbarians, who
had none of the arts - of the population.-or the
Isothermal zone.
How great the diffbrenee on the North. Ame

It was-the grandeur and splendor of the no

by the planting of colonies and the construc

I know that to business men, about single
business matters, these remarks are hardly
apropos. But, in speaking on these subjects, I
have considered the facts which are most
valuable to be brought to the attention of the
people in all parts of oar country. Ido not,
therefore, hesitate to enunciate them, when
the audience whom I meet is willing to accept
them. Sir, living as Ido upon the other clank
of this great continent, myheart is perpetually
panting and palpitating for a concord of ener
gies with my fellow-citizens of the East,
ror their clear apprehension of the har
mony of our geography, and that they may
appreciate the absolute necessity of taking up
instantly, and in all its vigor, the idea with
which our country was firstplanted here, "The
Continental Republic." When the first difficul
ty arose which dissolved the Union between
the Colonies and Great (lam speaking
now in presence of that sacred spot where not
only that great deed, the Declaration of Inde
pendence was done but where its success was
matured and the Constitution formed which
gave a more perfect form to the energies and
liberties of AMericans. I see in these civil dis
cords which have shaken the covenant of 1787,
and Which have brought about another period
of blood and anarchy in our country, bat the
initial step to a reorganization and reintroduc
tion of the supreme continental idea with
which the colonies were first planted on the
American Continent. In lfia, right in front of
us, they had a Continental Congress, a Conti
nental cause, a Continental army, a Continental
marine, and a Continental currency! If the
name boa been lost, it is time that it shall be
revived by bringing forward in full vigor the
idea. of 1776. We shall then have a North
American republic joining the seas and indis
solubly areldn,e . the continent,
I care not with whom I may differ in espreaa
ing these sentiments. I heard, whdn a child,
how Franklin, when the popular mind was not
yet fully ripe, dreamed over the future of his
country, and when it was time put forward
his theories.
Allow me, now, to come nearer home, and to
ask your attention more particularly to that
grand portion of our continent which lies be
tween the trough matte by the Mississippi
river.and the bank of the Pacific sea, on the
western half of the continent. I stated that
the mountains, which form two-sevenths of
the area of North America, and are visible
from the Pacific, are the prolongation of the
Andes of South America, or more pro
perly the Northern Andes. Those which
accompany the coast of the Pacific are
known AS the. Sierra Nevada de los Andes,_
the snowy chain of the Andes. The one which
is midway is known as the Cordillera Madre
de los Andes, the mother Cordillera Of the
Andes. It is this grand backbone which di
vides the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific
seas. As these two great cordilleras diverge,
they embrace between them a plateau, which
is a prolongation of what has peen known as
the table lauds of Mexico. This extends
through to the Arctic sea. The Cordillera
Madre is, of all the mountains of the globe, of
the most stupendous framework, and the
grandest in all its characteristics. It is
primeval in its formation ; it is of the rocks of
the interior casing of the globe ; . it has been
thrown up by volcanic action in its vertical
position, and remains unchanged bythe action
of volcanic forces, other than its erupted posi
tion. . .
The snowy chain of the Andes, which is
nearer the sea, has in it peaks of greater alti
tude than the mother Cordilleras. Its sea
front, which -receives and /liAds the va
pors of the ocean, is densely cumbered with
forests, and its summits are marked by
perpetual snows. Here are immense over
flows from the cratersof volcanoes, the molten
mass of the inner world has been thrown
Out , and has covered up the primeval rock.
l'he plateau which joins thew by the road
from Vera Cruz, through the city of Iliskice,
to Acapulco, is about two hundred and seven
ty:five miles wide. One of the cordilleras fol
lows the indentations of the Mexican gulf, and
the other of the Pacific, and the plateau wi
dens out and retains its symmetry with them.
Here it will be Seen that where the isothermal
axis crosses from Cape Mendocino to Cape
Cod, the American continent attains its great
est width. It is there that the Mississippi
drains the country from Denver on the west to
Pittsburg on the east, and the. country attains
its most expanded size and most superlative
characteristics.
Hero, then, under the fortieth degree of lati
tude is situated the. Territory of COlOrild4,
andits position, I think, is peculiarly attrac
tive to the people of Pennsylvania. Your
State is traversed through its centre by the
Allegheny mountains, the eastern half look
lug towards the Atlantic, with Philadelphia
for its eye; the Other half, with Pittsburg as
its commercial centre, is Within, and in all re
spects identified with the.great system of the
Mississippi basin.
Now, in the distractions, of the older conti
nents, for many centuries the mountain bar
rier was impenetrable to the arts and civilize,
tion. Even now the Alps and the Pyrenees
are arranged with fortresses to keep the na
tions asunder forever. In America, however,
these barriers have been placed within a single
political family, that the interests of mankind
might be furthered by piercing the moun
tains, and to advance the comity' of the human
race.
Another fact of profound importance is dis
cernible in the length, given east and west in
States such as Tenne,ssee, Kansas, and others,
so as to connect these barriers with the now
navigable channels of the rivers, and render
it compulsory on the people to keep them in
harmony. The Teriltery .43( ColbradO is
bi
sected from north to sotith by the great
chain of the Cordillera Madre. Like the great
State of .Pennsylvania, which guards for us
our avenue to the . Atlantic sea, so will we
guard for you the avenue. from the great basin
of the Mississippi to the , Pacific ocean, and
onward to the Asiattepeople.
In the mineral productions of the Rocky
mountains there is this simple geological lack

great inland seas, through which rivers
pass, be. salt -; but the great stationary
reservoirs of ; water in the seas, and those
bodies of water which have no outlet are full
of salt, invisible.to the eye.
Now, the great mountain system of North
America consists Of the two cordilleras and
the enclosed plateau, which is traversed by
seven sierras alinost equal in altitudes to the
Cordilleras,. and which pass from one cor
dillera to the other, The Sierra of Queretaro
cute off and forms the basin of the city of
Mexico, Occupying the space to Tehuantepec.
The Sierra of the Rio rlorida cuts Off the baSiti
of the " Ralson di Mapini," and separates
it from the basin of the Rio del Norte.
These two basins are looped in all around
by the mountain rim, have no outlets
to the sea, and have on evaporation
to scatter their accumulated, Waters. As
cending still to the north we eneounter
the great Sierra Mimbreo, which divides the
basin of the Rio del Norte from the basin of
the Rio Colorado. Surrounded as it is by
snowy mountains, immense rivers are neces
sary for its drainage, and these break through
the battlements of the Cordillera in the RIO
del Norte to the Mexican gulf, and the Rio
Colorado to the Piscine sea. Where they pass
out the Del Norte is lost for one hundred and
twenty-seven miles In a deep gorge of the Cor
dillera, while the track of the Colorado is lost
fox five hundred and fifty-seven miles at the
bottom of a iirofound chasm, in many cases
ten thousand feet in depth, with perpendicu
lar walls of granite rock, Next is the Snake
river Sierra, which cuts off the basin of the
Great Salt Lake. This has no outlet---evapora
tion serving the purpose instead of drainage.
Then there is the Olympian chain, which cuts
off the basin of the Columbia river. This river
passes thrOugh the Cordillera of the.Facifle at
the cascades, in the State of Oregon. Fraael l a
river, too, cuts its way through tlis Cordillera
of the Pacific, and finds its way So that sea.
This, then, is the wonderful hydrography of
the mountain system : the enclosed seven ele
vated basins are themselves of mountain altti
tude, being gig thousand feet, above the, sea.
The plateau,. then, and the Cordillera, form
one combined and Stupendous mass of snowy
mountains. All of these are one elevated
mass, protruded through the crust of the
earthls surface. In the original foßMatiOu of

some Chemical process of nature the or of
gold have been dissolved, and the metalliC
particles washed down with the streams, and
were depoatted in the alluvium at the base Of
the mountains. Until the time of Humboldt,
and the experiments malls by the Russian
,Demidoff in the Ural mountains, no efferts had
been made to extract the gold from its. ores.
They had relied on _the pure gold which they
could pick up. The experiment made by
liemidoff was not a success, and was only ktpt
uo by the pride of the Russian Government.
All 'the gold heretofore furnished by Biotic°,
California, and Australia has been obtained
from the placers. Some of the earliest settlers
of California; Gen. Frei:ant among them in
troduced into California the Rutteitlti system
of reducing gold from its ores. Experiments
had been made on a small scale in Georgia
and the Carolinas, but here as there, owing to
the enermouwexpense of machinery and other
appert,eneneear, and the hardness of the orea,
It was an. on tire fante, The only prooololo Pot
was the grindingof the ores On heavy stamp mills, its amagamation with quicksilver,
and the evaporation of the quicksilver, whioh
left the gold in a pure state. The gold-bear
ing rocks hove been so densely crystalline, aa
to wear out the initehineS fiSed to powder
them, and wham amalgamated the yield er k. old
was so small that it amounted to nothing,
Bence, the failure.
Now, after the'SUeeess of the gold fever in
establishing the present and prospective sup
my of gold for the human race in the State of
galifornia, and having plecertalned that the
whole mountain system was uniform ly NOM
hearing, wherever the primeval rocks wore,
thrown up to sight and search, it was found
that the eastern front of 'the great mountain
system, and right in the trackof the great
columns of the people marching broadcast
over the continent, that 14/0 precious* metals
could be reached the sane as at the feet of the
Sierra Nevada in California,
-
From the trough of the Mississippi river tO
the CordelleraMadrewhieb bisects the Territo•
i
ry of Colorado, there s a gradual slope of about
1,200 miles in length, and rising until it reaches
an altitude of 8,000 feet above the level of the
see. Tee diseovery of placer formationsgave
hints that the geld came fromabove, anti there
it was searched for and found. Here are found
the ores of gold, iron pyrites and others con
taining the highest per centage of the precious
metals. On experiment, it was found that gold
could be reduced from the soft and rich ores,
and pay largely, These are M e Meng the' results
of extended eieriments and improyeMerita
in machinery. But the topography of Colorado
is peculiar. It is here that the plateau of the
mountain system, under the fortieth de
gree, attains its greatest breadth. Every one
is familiar WWI the beautiful 'little basins of
the Alpe, Geneva, and ceitetenete with the
valley of Cashmere, at the source of the Indus,
in the Himalayas. These are little basins
where the streams collect and linger for a
time, forming such rivers as the Rhine, and
Rhone, and the Indus. In the grander scheme
of the 'American continent there' are a hue:-
tired greet 'elvers which find their aollreesp in
the snows of the. Cordillera Madre, and tre
verse the continent on its two slopes, Their
sources are so close together that from one
peak may be seen seven of the great rivers of
the American continent. Between these rivers
. radiate five of the great snowy chains of the
' AnteriCallcontinent, anti which enclose
basins which are Ramie as parks, Firilt
. is the park of North Platte, Meer, which has
tong's Peak at its right end. Then the
middle park, the source of the Rio Colorado.
' Next below is the South Park, which contains
the head of the South Platte, passing out to
' the city of Denver and reaching to the bits
: ootiei river, which 'by Way et the Mississippi
Conveys its drainage to the gulf, The
the source of the Arkansas which also bas its
exit in the gulf. The next' - is the park of San
Luis, containing the. heads' of 'the Rio del
Norte, which traverses the plateau 1,100 miles,
and then burst through the Cordillera Madre,
aid discharges into the Mexican gulf, The
plateau has thus but three outildit for its
waters, one to the Gulf of Mexico, one to the
Gulf of. California, and one to the north
through the Columbia river.
It is the system of the parks e biseeted as it
is by the fortieth parallel of latitude, and
right where the isothernlal feels traverses the
continent, concerning which I desire to say a
few words. A great combination of valleys—
capable of containing many millions of people
—not covered with water like Geneva and
Constance, but drained by the great rivers
which dehouch from them : these are exqui
sitely beautiflll, WO, and fertile, generously
adapted for the residence acid Kelley occuPa ,
tion of mankind. Where the 146th meridian
of longitude bisects the territory, a longitu
dieal railroad can be built southward to the
city of Mexico and a rich and prosperous
trade developed. Thus will defeat the schemes
of the European nations who are eneeavOrlite,
to rob us of the benefits Of fraternal inter
course with the people of our omit continent,.
Being in the heart of the continent, and one
thousand five hundred miles from any water
surface from which evaporation could reach
them, tin e having an altitude three miles above
the sea, screened by the snowy 11/0110tains
which everywhere encompass • them, these
parks present the most fasealible condition*
of temperature and climate to be found on the
continent. Situated above the region of the
clouds we have a rainless atmosphere, but one
lemt is extremely bracing, tonic, and salu
brious, it is a uniform atmosphere. We
count on lee days of fine, brilliant, Mitt
shine weather during each year. Rains and
transient storms occur, just to remind those
weo have left the maritime climates that they
area feature of nature, but they never disturb
labor or the enjoyment of life in the open air.
The whole plateau has the MOH perfect atmos
phere that exists on the globe, Wheii the
popularmind was first directed to these coun
tries, it was decribed as a mysterious desert
country, 'which it was almost certain death to
cross. Upon careful examination, it was found
to be pmenlineletly adapted, to the system of
irrigation. The country ecems to be formed,
as if were, by nature for this purpose. Being,
as it is; in the great highway from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, at the summit of elevation, it
will become the great toll-gate of the corn
rnereethat will pour across the continent.
All these are facts which have been Obtained
from traveling in every portion of that conye
try, beside which, I have fortified myself
with facts obtained from nearly every work
on the subject that I could find in the libraries
of thereat cities. When I. first crossed the
plainsei had with me the works of Humboldt
and Liable's admirable chemistry.
On these immense plains, mice popularly
suppo thirty-five deserts headftig: Mend, I
found millionof aboriginal
cattle, and when we consider the wild horses,
the . elk, the bear, the antelope, and the
badgers that roam over these tracts in bound-,
less profusion we may arrive at an idea of
the number of domestic , cattle they will safe
port, Fifty sheep or five heed. of demeet 0
cattle can be supported on what would be ne
cessary for the sustenance of one buffet&
The soil is dry and dusty from the fact of the
rainless atmosphere, but they are beautifully
smooth. Great rivers,which collect the eternal
thews of the mountalne, course throughlit, and
their waters can be applied in irrigation. The
vegetation is a fine, eelicate grass, that forms
the carpet of the plains. This the heat and
droughts cures into hay, on the ground, and it
is on this that one hundred and:fifty millions
of animals, between the MissiSSippi river and
the Pacific sea, are fee. Here, then, is the
great reset voir where : the eeestantlteinereafe
ingpoptlation of our great eitieg are to find
their ffesh—food.
It has been my advantage to see much of the
country of the I , ar West—to converse with dis.
coverers and explorers—and I have endeavor
ed to reduce these facts to shape and system.
We must reach the hearts of tile people, anti
assure them that there is a system, made in
the supreme beneficence of tile Creator,
A fact to which we must again advert is that
Colorado is, of all the mining regions ofethe
world, especially one for the precious metals.
Its discovery is supremely propitious. During
the war the gold of California: did not come
to the Atlantic coast, but nileSed direct to
Europe. Hence, the total withdrawal of the
precious metals from .circulation, and the
diffusion of greenbacks. The discovery of the
prolific mines of Colorado will necessitate the
circulation of her mineral, wealth throughout
the Atlantic States and their thirty-five mil
lions Of people; and we will not be impover
ished by our gold geing to 1111 the pureee of
foreign nations.
The primeval character of the main Cordil
lera is another advantage. It is soetupendous
and vast that the volcanic force was expended
in the upheaval of the mass, and so escaped
being covered With lava from craters, as the
other rocks have been. In the corelilerae of
the Pacific, the sea slope is covered with a
forest, and the eruptions of volcanoes have
covered up the primeval rock, so that they
cannot be worked for the precious metals.
There the exposure of the solibbearing reeks
is the exception, but in Colorado it is the rule,
