3. Resoired That the results OF experience
IN our opinion, demonstrate the fact, that M
uniform system of civil, criminal, or revenu'
laws can be framed, whereby the wants az
requirements OF the entire State can be salts
ned; and that 1t Is necessary consequence
mat the interests OF one portion must be sacr
need, however reluctantly, to contribute to tn
welfare OF The other
q. Resofred' That consIderng The foregoing
and many other obvious reasons, we recommeu'
that every effort oe used to elect division o
the State, ana The formation OF territorial gov
eminent in the southern counties of California
under the paternal guardianship OF the genera
government
g. RESOLVED, That viewing the Representatives
from the various counties present in this con
venion, and gathering FROM their presence thu
evidence that their sections OF the State are il
favor of the division OF the State, and ale de
slrous Of being associated IN the proposed terri
oral government, we recommend the following
~ a suitable boundary line for the proposed ter
tory: Commencing at the northwestern pon'
Of Monterey county, and running along thu
boundary line OF said county TO its northeast
ern point, thence due east to the main coas
range OF mountains, thence sout9erly along sait
range oil mountains TO point due west from
the extreme northern point OF the Tulare lake
thence east to the extreme northern point o
said lake, thence in northeastern line ia th'
boundary line Of the State, thence along sale
boundary line of the State southerly to tn,
boundary line between Mexico and the United
States, thence along said line to The Pacific, anc
thence up the northwestern coast of the State
including ali the islands along said coast, to the
point Oh commencement
8. Resotued, That in designating said line, we
are uniniuenced by any narrow or restricted in.
terests, and If there be other counties united
with us in interests suffering, yet, not finding
their delegates in this convention, we do not
feel ourselves authorized 10 assume any powe
TO speak or TO act for them.
