EXEcUTED.-Tho Newbcrry Conserva-
tist informs us that Fanny, the woman that
administered the poison 10 Mr.. Stewart 8
family was executed on Friday last. The
womaumade confession before she went
to execution: Her object was to kill no one
else but.AIrs. Stewart, for the reason that
she intended to visit her summer residence
taking Fanny with her. The first dose of
arsenic furnished her was accidentally de-
stroycd by falling into the fire. The Sec
aond was furnished to poison her mistress
the next morning, by putting itin her choc-
olatc, she being the only one of the family
who drank this beverage. Having mixed
the poison with the single dippcr of water
with which she intended making the choc-
olatc, she was called out of the Kitchen
Mrs. Wilkes, the housekeepcr, entered in
her absence, and, as she supposed, put the
dippcr into the bucket without throwing
out the water in it, and took drink, thus
accounting for the greater virulcncc of her
case than the others Fanny, upon her re-
turn to the. kitchcn,saw the djppcr in the
bucket, and supposed the poison had been
thrown away, and proceeded in her prcpa-
ratious for breakfast, taking all the water
she used from this bucket full, which had
been imprcgnatcd from the dippcr.

National Democratic Platform.


The Democratic party Of the State of Califor-
na, in Convention assembled, make and publish
as their Platform and Resolutions:
RESOLVED That we re-atirin the principles set
forth in the Cincinnati Platform. and recognize it
as an authoritative exposition of the Democratic
Greed.
RESOLVED, That the right Of the people Of the
Territa'ies to form all their domestic institutions
IN their own way, is absolute aud complete, and
that WE are naturally opposed to any interference
With such right, either bT the Legislative or hN-
.cuhve departments of the General Government.
RESOLVED That the Administration of james
buchanan, by its outrages upon the rights OF the
people Of Kansas, its unrelentlng prescription %
tried AID worthy Democrats for the offense Of adj
herring 10 Democratic principles, its constant vio-
alton Of the pledges which brought it into life its
qttenpt 10 render the Legislative subject 10 the
Executive Department and its gross extravaganza,
mlsmanagement aud corruption, has forfeited the
respect and lost the confidence of the American
people.
REsoLvaD. That the immediate construction of
the Pacific Railroad ought TO be encouraged by
the Federal an1 State Governments by all means
in their power and that meanwhile the mail SER
vice by the Overland routes should be sustained
aud increased.
Resolved, That our State judiciary system
needs a thorough and complete revision, and that
the Constitution should be so changed, as to IN
crease the number Of Judges of the Supreme
administration ofiustice.
RESOLVED, That in the opinion Of this Conven-
ton Congress should enact a law TO protect actu-
al boaa fls settlers upon public lands in their
ust rights.
Resolved That we, as a Convention, repre-
sentpg the true Democracy Of California, adhere,
with unfaltering GrnnesS. 10 the principles Of De-
mocracy, as taught by Thomas Jefferson, and
which guided the councils of the immortal Jack
on.
REsoLvEn, That when this Convention ad-
iourns, its members adjourn to meet, as citizens,
at the polls, inthe Ides OfSeptember and that by
our labors ana VI voices, we show to the world
that the freemen OF California are unbOught by
Federal patronage, and are unawed by Federal
power and will sta by the sacred principles OF
Democracy ia defiance Of treacherous Presidents
and their Cabinets.
Resolved, That the doctrine Of Intervention
by Congress to establish a slave code for the Ter
rit0ries, assumed by the Administration adher-
ents, is a gross departure from the principles OF
the true Democracy as laid down IN the Platform
made at Cincinnati and we repudiate 1t as the
heresv of a h0ton and condemn IL as an outrage
upon the great charter of American Liberty.
"RES0LvED, That the Chief Executive Of the
Nation has broken his pledges 10 the people of
the State Of California. in regard to the Pacific
Railroad, wh.vl pledges were announced in
his ill-tmed letter of 1856, two weeks previous
TO the election in this State and that we con-
denim Administration for its refusal to place
the Central overland NAL on the same footing, as
to compensation, as the southern route"
