Resolved, That we most heartily approve
the WING doctrine of internal improvements,
knowing as we do full well, that the prcya.

public revenue, but which were in fact only
military exactions levied without color Of

alike just and honorable, and we will strictly
maintain and support them as such.

if carried ont, will not only promote all the
great leading interests of California, but of
the whole Union, and as wings, we pledge
our united and individual advocacy of the
