Territory.

as the English Compromise Bill, having refer
red the whole subject of the admission of Kan
sas to the decision of the people thereof, we
do, without regard to former differences Of
opinion, accept and abide by that reference

agitation of that subject in national politics, as
violation of the spirit and intent of the Kan

and integrity of the Union.

dence in the wisdom, patriotism and Democ-
racy of the Chief Magistrate of the United

rity OF the Union, both at home and abroad.
Resolved That we deem the passage of the
Pacific Railroad Bill as of vital importance, not
only to the interests of California, but to those

and the unfortunate causes which led to it, we

ment OF complete system of overland mail
lines upon all the main Northern, Central and
Southern routes to the Pacific coast
Resolved, That American ships at sea, under
the American flag, in time of peace, sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the United States,
and to that of no other power on earth, wheth-
er for search, visitation, or any other purpose
whatever; and we rejoice in the promptitude,
energy and success, with which this great prin-
ciple has just been maintained by Demo-

ceives our cordial approval.

Republican State Platform.
Resolued, That we hereby again declare our
adherence to the resolutions adopted by the
National Republican Convention held at Phil
adelphia in 1856.
Resoived That we do now, and always have
maintained the doctrine of Popular Sover-
eighty, when interpreted to mean that the
people of Territory, in forming State Gov
ernment, had right to regulate their politi-
cal institutions in their own way, and to vote
for or against any proposed Constitution.
Resolved, That this sacred principle, dear to
freemen and formidable only to despotism,
has been most ruthlessly violated by the pres
ent Democratic Administration in its course
upon the Kansas question.
Resolped, That the English Bill, pressed
through Congress by the Administration par
ty, is fragrant violation of the great princi-
pie of Popular Sovereignty, bold attempt
upon the freedom of the ballot-box, and a
most insulting sectional discrimination in fa-
vOr of slavery in Kansas
