EVENING Session. The convention
was called to order by the President
The committee on resolutions reported
the following:
Resolved, That the Wings of Placer co.
most heartily endorse the Alatlonal Wing
platform rs adopted by the national Wing
convention at Baltimore, as we'll as the
platform laid down by the Wing State
convention at Sacramento.
Resoived, That the Wings of Placer
county unite. most cordially with their
brethren throughout the Union in uphold
ing and sustaining the series of compro-
mise measures as established by the last
Congress, and that we deprecate the fur
ther agitation Of the veXed questions by
those measures SO happily and equltably
settled.
iResovled, That the w higs of this coun-
ty also cordially unite with the Wings
throughout the State and Union in ad-
vOcatlng such system Of national inter-
nal improvements as will foster and pro-
tect the great interests of the Republic,
and, as california Wings, shall most ear
nestly advocate the construction Of the
great railroad across the Plains, believing
the same to be strictly national in It's
character, and necessary to the develop
ment of the immense resources of our ia
vorite State.
Resolred, That the only reasonable
hope that can he entertained OF the ac-
conplishment Of this stapendous work,
and kindred enterprises. such as the re-
moval of the distractions in our navlga-
BILE rivers, the construction of light hous-
es, as we'll as liberal donations of public
lands, and an equitable arrangement in
regard to the public domain in california,
is to be found in the utmost defeat Of
those aspirants to Presidential honors,
Pierce and King; the former having nc
quired his nomination from the so called
Democratic party by his uncompromisng
hostility, as shown by his speeches and
his every vote to every species of internal
improvement by the general government :;
while the chief recommendation Of the
latter is to be found in his bitter and un-
ceasing opposition to the admission of our
beloved California into the sisterhood of
republican States.
RESOLVED, That in the nomination and
almost certain election of the great de-
fender of the american flag and the pre-
server of the integrity of the Union, Gen.
Scott, and the sound statesman, VIM. A.
Graham, we have an abiding confidence
in the triumph of those principles SO dear
to the hearts of all true Wings.
ResolUed, That to these nominees, as
well as to the Wing State ticket, and the
nominations this day made, we pledge a
handsome majority in Placer county.

tions presented by the committee were
