MA, IN Convention assembled, make and publish
as their Platform and Resolutions:
RESOLVED, That we re-afhrm the principles set
lOrth IN the Cincinnati Platform and recognize IA
Creed
r, RESOLVED, That the right of the people of the
territories to form all their domestic institutions
IA thelr own way, is absolute aud complete and
Una. we are naturally opposed to any interference
WITH such right, either by the Legislative or Ex-
cutive departments of the General Governmcnt
RESOLVED That the Administration of James
Buchanan, by its outrages upon the rights of the
people Of Kansas, its unrelenting prescription OF
tried and worthy Democrats for the offense of ad-
herring to Democratic principles its constant yio-
alton of the pledges which brought it into life, its
lttempt to render the Legislative subject to the
Executive Department and its gross extravagance,
msmanagement and corruption, has forfeited the
respect and lost She confidence of the American
people.
REsoLvnD. That the immediate construction of
the Pacihc Railroad ought TO be encouraged by
the Federal and State Governments by all means
| 10 thelr power, and that meanwhile the mail SER
vice by the Overland routes should be sustained
aad Increased
REsoLyrD, That our State Judiciary system
needs thorough and complete revision, and that
the Constitution should be so changed. as 70 in
crease the number of Judges Of the Supreme
Court, and secure speedy, honest and faithful
administration ofjustice.
| RESOLVED, That in the opinion Of this Conven-
ton, Congress should enact law to protect actu-
al bona .fde settlers upon public lands in their
just rights.
RESOLVED That we, as a Convention, repre-
sentlpg the true Democracy of California, adhere,
With Nnialtering frmness, to the principles Of De
mocfacy, us taught by Thomas jefferson, and
which guided the councils of the immortal jack
on
RESOLVED, That when this Convention ad-
iourns its members adjourn to meet, as citizens,
at the polls, inthe Ides ofSeptember, and that by
| our labors and v-r 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 in defiance Of treacherous Presidents
and their Cabinets.
RESOLVED, That the doctrine Of Intervention
by Congress to establish slave code for the Ter
rtories, assumed by the Administration adher-
ents, is gross departure from the principles Of
the true Democracy as laid down IN the Platform
made at Cincinnati, and we repudiate il as the
heresy of a faction and condemn it as outrage
upon the great charter of American Liberty.
"REsoLvED, That the Chief Executive of the
Nation has broken his pledges to the people Of
the State of California. in regard to the Pacific
Railroad, which pledges were announced in
his ill-timed letter of 1856, two weeks previous
to the election in this State and that we con-
demn the Administration for its refusal 10 place
the Central Overland Mail on the same footing, as
10 compensation, as the southern route"

Our FAIR.-If the managers of the Agri-
cultural Society have not yet appointed ap-
propriate committees. to superintend the ar
rangements necessary to be made previous to
and during the continuance Of the Fair, they
should proceed to do so without delay. They
have only next week for labor, as the fair
will commence on the 18th inst. and it will
require the most active and unremitting ex.
ertions to perform all the work necessary to
be done before that time.
We are all interested in the success of our
County Fair, and as matter of pride We
should strive to make it equal if not surpass
that of any other county in the State. We
have the population and the wealth among
us and if we lack the spirit, enterprise and
energy, it will be just cause of reproach.
In Marysville, Yuba county Healdsburg.
Sonoma county; Oakland, Alameda county ;
as well as in Napa, San Mateo and other
places; the exhibitions were ve'y creditable
to the respective agricultural societies, as
well as the people of those counties We un
derstand that not one of them was failure
and, the great objects for which Ogri-
cultural fairs are held, were greatly promo
ted the several societies were more than re-
INFUSED for the outays they made; and the
traders and business people of each locality
reaped rich harvest.
AS a matter of self interest, then, as well
as county pride, and riva'ry in the display
of products of our teeming soil, in the supe'
riority of our cattle and in our various indus
trial resources, all should do their best to
make the approaching fair the most success
full one of the season. And from the spirit
which seems to prevail, there is no doubt
but the tens of thousands, who may visit our
valley this month, will award US the diploma
Of superiority over any other county.-San

complained of having kind of choking SEN

her glass of salt water. but it failed to have
the desired effect. Shortly after the negro
discharged from her bowels a lizard nearly
