V**jF**y?
Beauty, Wit ami Gold,
In her bower a widow dwelt,
At her feet three lovers knelt;
Each adored the widow much-
Bach essayed her heart to touch:
One had wit and ono had gold-
On _ was east in beauty's mould ;
Guess which was it won the prize-
Tongue, or purse, or handsome eyes I
First begtm the handsome man,
Peeping proudly o'eu hew Ian,
Red his Li|)s, aud white bis skin-
Could such beauty fail to win?
Then stepped forth the man of gold,
Cash lie counted, coin he told:
■Wealth the burthen of the talc—
Could such projects fail _
Then the man of wit* and* sense
WooedUiC- with bis eloquence■;
Now she heard him with a sigh ;.
Then she blushed, scarce knowing why-
Then she smiled! to hear him spenk—
Then a tear was on her cheek:
Beaut*/, vanish—gold, deport!.
Wit hath won the widow'- heart.

Senators : The period for your annual deliberations upon the interests and the welfare of the
State has arrived, and I deeply regret that I cannot congratulate you upon a better condition of
affairs. The deranged state of our financial affairs,
the passage of necessary laws, and amendments to
existing ones, are subjects fraught with lively and
intense interest, not only to your immediate constituents, but to the honor of the whole State, affecting as they do the whole financial world.
Trusting that you may prove equal to the task,
and that your acts may be written in letters of
living light upon the statutes of the country, and
etaud as monuments in all time to come—engaging that I will extend to each of you, I trust to
receive the usual courtesies of life. I bid you
God speed in your work.
Wm. Bausinan, Secretary ot the old Senate, then
called the roll of new .Senators, who, ae their ^ receive
Mr. Beatty, of Calaveras; W. W. Sheppard, of
San Francisco; and A. M. Stephenson, of Solano,
were nominated.
Mr. Beatty having received a majority of all tht
votes cast, was declared elected Speaker of the
Assembly.
After taking the oath of office, the speaker arose
and said:
Gentlemen of the Assembly—I trust you will
not deem it the affectation of a sentiment which I
do not entertain, if I assure you that seldom before
in my life have I approached the performance of
any duty under feelings of deeper mistrust, than
that which devolves upon me as the presiding
officer of this body. And if, in the discharge of
the duties of the distinguished position which
your partiality has conferred upon me, I shall at
any time fall short of your expectations, I have
only to ask at your hands tha> lenity and indulgence which is always awarded to those who discharge their duties to the best of their abilities.
In my seat ia this body, for the last two years:
I have endeavored to devote my best energies
faithfully to the best interests of a generous and
confiding constituency, and I tsust that experience
lias sufficiently demonstrated to my mind the re"
sponsibility of the representative character, and
this last crowning act of your favor I fear far exceeds my merits, and the only way I cau thank
you, is to promise you that I shall diligently devote myself to the duties of the part you have
assigned me, with the view of proving myself in
some degree worthy of it. It may not be amiss,
gentlemen, at the con_.nenc<'ineiit of a new session
briefly to allude to the character of the work
whieh will claim our serious and honest consider
ation. Perhaps the most important action of this
Legislature will be the election of two gentlemen
to represent our people in the .Senate ot the United States. Tho varied and responsible duties,
and the immense public interests which it compasses, it is to be hoped will clearly exhibit the
necessity of maturejudgment aud souud discretion
in the selection of those who are to re'present our
iState iu the councils ofthe nation for the next
four aud six yea.s. The indebtedness ofthe State
largely exceeds the amount prescribed iu the organic law as the limit beyond which the Legisla
ture shall not go, without the express consent of
the people at the ballot-box. For mauy reasons,
however, it seems true that the amount there fixed
has not been sufficient to meet the current expeu,
ses of the government; and former Legislatures
have created a debt which,in the aggregate
amounts to more than six times that prescribed
in the Constitution of the State ; and a recent decision ofthe Supreme Court declares the entire
excess over $300,000 unconstitutional and void.
It therefore seems proper that this subject should
your early 'consideration ; that you should
devise some means of settling this vexed que-uion„
and submitting them, in some .haf**.. for the approval ofthe people. In short, gentlemen, it devolves upon you, as the represcnUtir-» of the people, to d-.ettQ4oe, in a great irw.asi-ie. how far the-
honor of the State shall be e»mpromis.:d by aa
open repudiation of her liabilities, The mining,
commercial and agricultural interests of __trStat.
alike demand the -"catering car- of judicious legislation. In the excitement of debate which will
naturally arise out of the consideration of thei*
and ©ther subjects, I am-sure I stall often have o«-
casion to tely upon yoar indulgence —ul firm support in the discharge o-f speaker, lu conclusion,.
gentlemen, allow me to add, thiaif whatever of
ability, that whatever of energy aud Sird_h< „
whatever of honesty I may p-_ts.ss, I pledge them
ali to you in furtherance of the objects which luvr
called us together.
