1t seems that when the resolutions of the Legislature
of 1858 were presented to the Senate, on the l4th
April, 1858, by Senator Gwin, Mr. Broderck denied
that they reflected the viii of the people Of that State
that issue made upon that point between the
California senator's AT the recep. election, the adj
mnstraton hada majority of about 5000 votes on an
issue involving directly the Kansas policy Of tho
President 1t appears that the people of California
consider mr. Broderck virtually pledged to resign,
saving failed TO maintain himself the issue which
he rendered The following resolutions, as presented
on tho 14h April to the Senate, and the debate
copied from the Globe of that date, show the position
of the California senators with reference to it at that
time
Mr. GwIN l requested 10 present joint resolutions
of the legislature of California relative 10 the admission
of Kansas into the Union State under the Lecomp-
ton constitution ask that they be read and, the
subject has been disposed OF by the Senate that
they be printed and laid on the table.
The Clerk Rad the resolutions as follows
Concurrent resolutions relative 10 the admission Of Kansas
Whereas the people of the Territory of Kansas did on
the 18th day of November 1851 by convention assem-
bed for that purpose form for themselves constitution
and State government which constitution and State gov
formed is republican and whereas the said
constitution has been submitted to the Congress of the
United States with the view of the admission of Kansas
into the Union an independent State therefore,
Resolud by The assembly, THE senate concurTng That
our senators be instructed and representatives re-
quested vote for the immediate admission of the Ter
ritory of Kansas into the Union equal footing with
the original States in all respects whatever
