EXECUTIVE MESSAGE,
Executive DeparTMENT,
Sacramento city, April 3, 1852.
To the Senate and Assembly :
1am persuaded that the interests of
the country and the obligations of humanity make it my duty to invoke your
early attention to the difficulties and
dangers which have hitherto attended
the immigration to California by the
_. overland route ; and, in view of the probible increased immigration by that
route during the present year, to recommend that provision be made for the relief and succor of immigrants whom the
hazards incident to the journey may
place in need of your aid.
It is presumed that the tide of emigration has already commenced to flow,
and that before the meeting of the next
rived within the limits of our noble
State. Whatever, therefore, it would
be wise and proper to do on the part of
the State should be decided now.
Information in my possession leads me
to believe that the overland immigration from the Atlantic States to California during the present, will be larger
than any former year. The impressions
which prevail among our fellow citizens
in the older States in relation to the
elimate, the agricultural and mineral
resources of our country, are much more
favorable than they have been hitherto.
Welcome tidings have been sent by our
citizens to their friends at home.
Public tranquility has here succeeded
ublic tumult, and, under the favor of a
eneficent Providence, health and plenty shed their genial influence around
us. These are the blessings which have
given such an impulse to immigration.
To our mild and salubrious climate
we have found added a soil far more
productive than was anticipated — cqualing any now cultivated in the cichest
portions of the older States.
ral resources of our country are generally believed to be inexhaustible, and our
miners are obtaining a fair, if not a rich
reward for their privations and_ toil.
This information has been diffused
throughout the Udion, and the apprehensions which once existed that our
soil would be drained of its precious deposits, hus given place toa settled conviction that we possess here a legacy
inestimable and exhaustless.
These impressiens have created a general desire among the people of the} Strangers had never been permitted to .
Atlantic States to migrate to California,
and I feel authorized to express the
opinion that the immigration overland,
during the present year, will comprise
not less than ten thousand families,
averaging, probably, five persons to each.
A proportion of the immigrants will be
women and children, little used to the
privations and perils which they must
encounter. Neither the terrible character of the sufferings endured by the
immigrants of 1849 and 1850, ner the
heroic fortitude with which they endured them, can be exaggerated. The
conclusion, then, is irresistable, that unless we extend the arms of welcome und
benevolence, the immigration of the
present year must encounter the same
perils.
The causes which have conspired and
which will conspire to produce distress,
may be briefly enumerated. Every
family brings its quota of valuable
stock, consisting of horses, mules, catof. tle, and other property, to swell our. dible risk and'labor, until the 20th of
aggregate wealth. The contribution .
which will be made to the wealth of}
The mine.
with a view, too, of locating among us; . difficult of access, to have tempted the
{In view of such a state of facts, I deer
it my duty to recommend that you appropriate not less than fifteen thousand
dollars for the humane purpose of ameliorating the sufferings of immigrants,
such funds to be 8 specifically, to
the object fur which it is appropriated.
In making this recommendation, permit
me to remark that I am fully aware of thousand years, and claim to be o}
the embarrassed condition of the Treasury, and deplore it in common with
yourselves. But extraordinary occasions
demand corresponding sacritices. It is
difficult, in view of the finaneial condition of the State, to reconcile the appropriation proposed with the cold calculations of pecuniary expediency ; but
every generous heart must ardently ap~
prove, and . indulge the hope that the
public voice will sustain it as a netessary and judicious exercise of State benevolence.
It is the welfare of the country und
the stake of human life, in war, which
gives solemn sanction to the acts of Government which contributes its treasures
to promote the cause of nations, The
immigrants, their fumilies—the women
and children who will come here--should
be and are as dear to us as the soldiers
who fight our battles. They have, indeed, the highest claims upon our sympathy and regard. In discharging this
duty, therefore, to them, we will be accomplishing the ends of good government
and that which we do, “like bread cast
upon the waters, after many days, will
return.”
In this exercise of your philanthrophy,
you will, probably, preserve many valuable lives, and most certainly save hundreds from intense suffering, and you
will also huve the pleasing assurance
that many who would have found graves
. in the wi'derness but for your timely
‘aid, will become the possessors of plensant homes and luxuriant fields in California, exercising a wholesome and powerful influence in the future action of
our State government, as well as in all . osities in human form, and finally se
those amenities which regulate society
in peaceful and prosperous communities,
JOHN BIGLER.
THE AZTEC CHILDREN,
There are now being exhibited, in .
. Legislature, the bulk of it will have ar. New York, what is said to be the rarest curiosity ever exhibited in this
country—two children, a male and fe. male, belonging to a peculiar race of
Indians found in Central America, and
believed to be of the real Aztec race.
The male is supposed to be near twenty years of age, is just thirty-three and
three-fourths inches high, and weighs
‘twenty pounds. ‘The female is supposed to be about twelve years old, is
twenty nine and a half inches high,
and weighs seventeen pounds. Dr.

where they arrived on Christmas.—
Here they formed an acquaintance .

They pushed on until they met the
military forces, whose ditty it was to
guard the mountain pass, and suffer
. no stranger to enter the Iximyan country. ‘This guard had no knowledge of .
jfire-arms, but fought with spears and
. arrows, aided by blood hounds. ‘The
party was well armed, and a few shots
with powder and ball, overawed and
. subdued the courage of the assailants,
and they were permitted to enter the
city. It was a neat quadrangle, surrounded by a wall sixty feet in height,
. our own independence,to live for Amerand ornamented with aculptured mon
uments, and all the paraphernalia of
of idoMttrous worship. The city contains eighty thousand inhabitants, an
is surrounded by a beautiful and high
ly cultivated country. The inhabi
. tanta have records extending back fou
. Syrian origin.
One of the adventurers, !!ammond
was wounded in the affray on entering
the country, and soon died. The oth
er, Huertis, undertook to persuade
away a girl, to whoni he made love
and by her was betrayed, and “sacri
ficed in due form upén the high alta
of the sun.” ‘The Naniard, Nelas
quez, had inade the acquaintance of a
young priest, by the name of Vaal
peor, whom he persudded to go wit
him out into the civilized world, an
who had in charge the two Azted
children. He contrived to convey th
effects of the strangers, with the chil
dren, to a country village. Senor Ve
. lasquez, and moat of his company, mal
. naged to escape over the wall in th
jnight, and join the young priest and
. make their escape.
. In about fourteen days they reach
‘ed Ocosingo, after great sufering.
. Here Velasquez reluctantly parted
. with the most of his faithful Indians
and here also died Vaalpeor, from th
unaccountable toil and deprivations q
. the journey.” By the middle of Feb
. roary, Velasquez reached San Salvy

. came objects of the highest interest t

icity. Here he conceived the project a

with his intended. Whenever the d
alogue on the stage turned upon lov
stowed a series of most energetic hug
upon his equally affectionate deary
