/
The following Resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the State Convention, at Sacramento
July Sth, 1857, and constitute the 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-
venton; and in them we recognize the principle
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, and is no: 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 elgi-
bic route, connecting the Atlantic States with
California, is demanded by the military. postal
and commercial necessities Gf the Republic; and
we recognize the power of Congress, under the
Constitution, to appropriate money well as
iand 10 ald III building TINS 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 despo-
ism. and we deprecate all attempts to embitter
their feelings against our free institutions by poll
ticai persecution 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, 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.

TRAVELLING on the cars from O-to NJ
-, not long since, in the night, we hap
pened to have the good fortune to get into
the same box with regular blue-devi!-
exterminator, by whom, let it he surmised,
our drowsy optics were kept expanded.
This individual answered to the name of
Bat" and his description of No kcrliner,"
her manners and customs, gave the listener
anything but favorable impression of the
tar and turpentine State. Thus:-
"Why, gentlemen dog with long tail
in North Carolina, would be as great a
show as a nigger with three heads"
"Why sol' asked several.
"They cut em off, to prevent them from
knocking off the huckleberries when there
chasin foxes and rabbits tifo' the woods"
'Phew! came from a listener
'Fact, certain as rain; and you never see
man or boy there with buttons on his
pants"
"What them" asked some one.
"Pegsm answered the imperturbable Bat;
''wear the buttons all off climbing after per-
simmons.'
$50 it, Bat" eheered an acquaintance.
"And I'll tell you another thing" he con-
iinued, "they have to bell their little MIG
gers there, Just as we do our calves"
"What tor?,
$50 their owners can tell which gopher
hole they're inn
A general scream followed this, the cars
screamed, and we all jumped off at NJ.
Hope we'll see hm again.

: Amusing Epitaphs.

Epitaphs, the Inscriptions on the tomb Of
the dead, when the subiect lying beneath is
considered, are certainly things not to be
laughed at, but some are so amusing that
they will provoke smile in spite of ourself.
We lately came across a record OF several
of this sort, which we copy. The following
is from church-yard in Brighton, Eng
land
Here l lays
Killed by chaise."
The following is from graveyard in
Massachusetts,:
The bodies of John and Lucy
Leaven,
Killed by Tightening sent from
Heaven
In l777."
This was no, doubt thought to be excel
lent-John johnson, Provost Of Dundee,
was mach beloved by his townsmen, who,
to show their regard for his memory, offer
ed a reward for the best poetical inscription
for his tombstone. Two ony were offered,
the first of which was thus:
.sHere lies John Johnson, provost of Dundee;
Here lies him, here lies he"
This was thought unsurpassable but
when the town-clerk opened and read the
second, the prize was unanimously awarded
to that, which was as follows:
''Here lies John Johnson provost Of Dundee;
Halleluiia Haliaiujee."
The following is from a graveyard in
Providence, r. l.:
"Her soul grew so fast within,
1t burst the outward she'll of sin,
Aud so was HATCHED a cherubm."
In St. Mary's churchyard, Whittesea,
Isle of Ely, England, is the following:
Here lies the bodies Of Elizebeth Addison,
Her son,
And old Roger to come"
"Od Roger" was her husband it seems
and neac twenty years afterwards, when
traveller visited the place, was still living, and
had not then "come,"
The following we are told, may be seen
conspicousy inscribed on {. board stuck up
on q dog-wood tree, on the banks Of Ben
son Creek, i this State:
Beneath this tree lies young Billy Kunnin gham
Who was butted to death by our old bobtal ram.
The old ram,
B damn,
To another world was sent,
The over him done went"
We will finish with the following, on the
Earl of Devonsbire, who died in l4l9:
'Oh, oh! who lies here?
'1fs l. the Earl of Devonshre
With Kate my wife, to me full dear:
We lived together tifty-tive year:
That we spent we had;
That we gave we have;
That we left, we lost"
This is quaint and pithy enough,
