The following Resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the State Convention, at Sacramento
July Sth, 1857 and constitute tie Platform of the
Republican party of California;
WHEREAS, The issue upon which the Republican
party has been formed is of national character
we forbear to express any opinion in reference to
questions of State policy. leaving Republicans
free to act and vote on all such questions; there
fore adopt the following resolutions as the
basis of our organization:
Resolved, That we cordially endorse the reso-
lntions adopted by the National Republican Con-
vention; and in them we recognize the principles
which governed the political course of the Fathers
of the Republic.
Resolved, That the prohibition of slavery in
the Territories of the Union is properly within
the control of Congress, and all the people of the
Union are therefore directly responsible, should
it be permitted to extend over such Territories
Resolved, That slavery in the slave States de-
pend solely upon State laws Tor its existence, and
that Congress has no power to modify change,
or repeal such laws, and is not responsible there
for. We are therefore opposed to all interference
with slavery in the slave States.
Resolved, That the speedy construction of a
National Railroad, by the most central and eligi-
BILE route, connecting the Atlantic States with
California is demanded by the military, postal
and commercial necessities of the Republic; and
we recognize the power of Congress- under the
Constitution, to appropriate money as we'll as
land to aid in building this great work.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the speedy
settlement of land titles in this State; of free
grant to actual settlers of reasonable portions of
the public domain.
Resolved, That we heartily welcome to our coun-
try the honest and Industrious immigrants who
seek our shores to escape from European despot-
ism, and we deprecate all attempts to embitter
their feelings against our free institutions by poll
tical persecution on account of their foreign BIRTH
Resolved. That the opinion rendered by Chief
Justice Taney, and concurred in by other Judges,
in the late Dred Scott case is papable violation
of the principles Of the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, Justification of the history of our country,
subversive OF State rights, and fragrant injustice
to large portion of the people of the United
States, and as such. merits the indignant reproba-
tion of every freeman.
Resolved, That as citizens of the free State of
California, we deprecate the introduction of the
institution of slavery the Pacific Coast, and
therefore do extend to the free men of Oregon an
earnest desire for their success in the establish
ment of free principles the basis of their State
government

"EYE-SIeHrs AND GRAr1TUDE."-The Home
Journal derives from some French paper an
amusing story of French doctor, who, hsv-
ing generously and voluntarily relieved a
beggar Of blindness, was afterwards sued by
the man, who laid the his damages at twenty
thousand francs, on the ground that having
been blind from childhood he had gained his
living by the pity it excited by the restoration
Of his sight, that deprived him Of his means
Of support. That certainly was "base ingrat-
itude," but not being more strong" than
"traetor's arm" We opine it did not "quite
vanquish, the doctor. As for the beggar, he
undoubtedly deserye;-to 60 blind again.

us the following recipe; for its efficacy, how
ever we cahnot vouch:
To dye the hair black without discoloring
or injuring the skin, mix equal parts of liter
age, and lime, form into thick paste then
should be laid on pretty thick and the head
covered with oil-skin. This should be done
Immediately before retiring for the night
On rising in the morning the powder should
be brushed carefully away, and the hair oiled.

The Duchess Regent Of Parma has just conferred
. gold medal upon Laigina Spazzini, . girl Of fifteen,
as : reward for the spirit which she exhibited in de-
Tending herself and the household against ; robber who
broke in while Luigina was left alone there. She at
tackled him with . knife, wounded him and put him
to fight When her father returned home she went
with him and another man named Cobb in pursuit
Of the robber, who was o~vertaken, captured and con-
victed.
The present period is remarkable for the unusual
movement among royal personages. The French Inn
perial Family have already made their journey to Eng
land. The Emperor Of Austria has been moving about
pretty freely. The Emperor and Empress of Russia
have visited Hamburg and Hanover, and are about to
join the Dowager Q1een at Kissingen. The Sultan
Abdool Medjid has mustered resolution to leave the
harem UPON q tour to the Sea Of Marmpr2. y
The British Government has established lines Of
steamers between England and Canada, but it seems
that q large number Of English and Irish who land
in Canada pass on to the Western States in preference
to settling in the provinces. From the returns made
by the emigration agent in Hamilton, G. W., - ap-
pears that the total arrivals At that city since January 1
are q, 1882, while the number who have left for the
United States is 1882, % that there are left remain
ing in Canada only 1850, or about one-eighth Of the
