CaLirornis,—The capability of’ this “State fo support an immense population, is demonstrated beyond question in. the results produced in every department of industry attemptedéompared with uther coudtriés that hhvednd maintain & popula. made that we shieta . ever have half the number to the square miles, it would be re. garded as preposterous, Belgium and Hulland,two of the most populous States of EuTope, contain, the first over 300 and the last over 200 inhabitants to the square wile. Manufactures and agriculture have mainly built them up, the lastin spite of difficulties, suchas few countries have had to contend with. Commercially, they have fallen behind others. Brussels, the chief city of Belgium, in 1853 had only 145,000 inhabitants, and in 1850, Amsterdam, the principal one of Holland, enly 228,000. One half ofthe density of Holland, the least populode of the two, would give us 16,000,000 inhabitants. There is not a reason for population so deneely sapported there, in which We-bave not the advantage. Their contiguity to-crowded Europe gives them an advantage in securing it. from outside, and their age in having it oftheir own. But “that does not touch the question of tapability to support. Commercially, they bave had competitors that have far outstripped ‘them, which accounts fur the smallness of their commercial cities. San Francisco stands alone on this coast, with no ‘possibil. ity of successful competition, fur whatever trade can be controlled on the Pacific, by) any city in the Americas, then she controls by her position all interior trade. It is demonstrative of this, that not 20 years old is anything more than a trading post, or a harbor for precuring.a supply of water— that it has 320,000 inhabitants, with every ‘evidence of comfort and wealth, equal to any city of even. greater populativn_in the Union, and affords « tax list uf over $80,000,000, and returns a revenue on importations equal or over any other city in the Republic, except probably threee. Her merchants and bankers are princes financially—this, notwithstanding devastating firee—and there are fewer icsolvencies than . . Ba in other city of the same population. What: . ever builde up San Francisco will also every other city arid hamlet of the State : and the capacity and possibility of population can only be measured by our resources and our position to command tradé ; therefore the benefit-is reciprocal, We find that wherever s business puint ie needed, tu become sw distributing agent for this great centre, and contiguous to farming and mining ~~ @iatriots, the towns are recovering from the fovdleions after a distentiun made in the excitement of the firét years of gold discovery beyond the requirements of the eountry, and are showing a prosperity far more real, and steadily indicating » future, . if vot as rapid as at first, yet that point them out as centres of population, that in the next two decades will increase far more rapidly than ever before, especially after direct railroad communication is opened te ‘the — prrgner Sacramento to-day y is ore prosperous, notwithstandhed toed, and the necessity of levees street and house raising. that have in#0 expense equal to the firet build. tug end imposed an onerous tax, than at any time since its existence.
