Be it resolved, 1st, That this is demo-
cratic convention, representing the strength
and will of the party in this county, and
not convention of wings and democrats,
or one in which the whole population of the
county is represented irrespective ofrarty
Cd, That our represt ntation should be
based upon the plainest and broadest prin-
ciples known to our party; and that the
vote Of each county in the state convention.
should be in proportion to the democratic
vote cast at the last general election for
members of Congress.
Sd, That each county should be entitled
to one vote in the state convention for every
two hundred democratic votes cast, at the
last general election, for members Of Con-
gress-and that the vote of the state con-
vention will be thus made purely and solely
the vote of the democracy of the state.
4th, That whereas in some counties there
may have been, on account of q want of
party organization, deficient expression
Of democratic strength at the last general
election, it be left to the discretion of the
convention Of the state in such cases to
sentation in the convention, in acc ordance
with the true strength of the party in such
counties
9Th, That the delegates chosen at this
convention shall have the power of appoint
ing substitutes in case of their inability to
attend; such appointments shall be made
in writing, and shall confer the same power
on said substitutes as if chosen by this con-
vention.
9th. That the delegates from this county,
present at the state convention to be holden
on the 23d instant, shall have full power to
cast the Whole representative vote of the
county; and that they shall act in all mat
ters that may come before the convention
as they may think most advisable for the
general interests of the party.
1th. That, as banner was generous
ly promised at the Benicia convention, by
our brother democrats of Ell Dorado county
to that county giving the largest democra-
tic majority at the general election, we de-
mand compliance with this promise in
consideration of our having gloriously
achieved the victory.
