woman - got up first in the morning. and did
not dream Of such proximity to night caps or
gown, ill Informed by the clerk, of whom the
woman asked: "What fool was that IN my bed
last night" No one will question the acIiV-

State Republican Platform.

The following Resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the State Convention at Sacramento,
July Sth, 1857. and constitute the Platform Of tire
Republican party of California:
WHEREAS. The issue upon which the Republican
party has been formed is of national character,
we iorbear to express any opinion in reference to
questions of State policy, leaving Republicans
free to act and vote on all such ouestons; there
fore we adopt the following resolutions as the
basis of our organization:
Resolved, That we cordially endorse the reso-
lntious 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 for its existence and
that Congress has no power to modify, change,
or repeal such laws aud is not responsible there
for. We are therefore opposed to all interference
with slavery in the slave States.
Resolved, That the speedy construction of q
National Railroad, by the most central and eligi-
bic route, connecting the Atlantic States with
California, is demanded by the miliaryspostel
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 oug coun-
try the honest and industrious immig grants who
seek our shores to escape from European despot-
ism, and We deprecate all attempts to embitter
their feelings against free Institutions by poll
tcal 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 palpable violation
of the PRINCIPLES of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, fasi@ation of the history of our couutry
subversive Of State rights and fragrant injustice
to large portion Of the people Of the United
States. and as such. merits the ind gnaut reproba
tion of every freeman.
Resolved, That as citizens of the free State of
California, we deprecate the Introduction of the
Institution of slavery on 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.
