It is desirable that as many States as possible should have a portion of seacoast. I will refer for a mo- ment to the comparative extent of seacoast of the States of this Union and that which is claimed by the new State of California. From the table and map referred to, it appears that— 1. The seacoast of California is nearly three- fourths the length of the whole twelve old Atlan- tic States, (Pennsylvania having no seacoast. ) 2. It is nearly half the extent of the whole At- lantic coast to C...ape Florida. 3. It is nearly one-third the length of the whole coast of the United States on the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. 4. It is nearly one- fourth the length of the whole seacoast of the United States on the Atlan- tic, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific coasts, embra- cing (with California and Oregon) twenty States or Territories fronting on the sea. 5. It is equal in length to the whole Atlantic coast, from the southern boundary of Georgia to Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, (all the old Atlantic States, except one and a half;) and commencing at the north it would extend to the middle ot North Carolina, and, not including Maine, a new State, to the middle of South Carolina; also ex- tending over the whole Atlantic old States, except one and a half States.
