one Of the most important matters for the
welfare Of the common country that has agit-
ated the public mind since the formation Of our
National Government, and we but echo the
sentiments of nine tenths of the people of Cal
ifornia when we declare that the Congress of
the United State should do all and everything
consistent with the Constitution in aiding the
commencement and completion of the same
Reso'ped. That while we renew the oft ex-
pressed views Of the democracy Of California
in favor Of the donation to actual settlers in
limited quantities OF the public domain. we new
erthelsss believe and recommend that liberal
donations should be made in accordance with
the well established policy Of the general gov
ernment IN similar cases, to aid in the con-
structlon of the greatest national work of the
age-the building of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad

and sustain the passage of the Nebraska Bill

that it was democratic measure-one of
principle, that should have enlisted in its IA

and we only regret that among the names OF
those who opposed its passage We notice some
few who claim to be democrats

the principles OF the democratic platform adop-
ted at Baltimore in 1862, and We endorse to
