tried aud worthy Democrats. for the olIeuse of ad
herring to Democratic principles, its constant viO
laton of the pledges which brought it into life its
attempt to render the Legislative subject to the
Executive Department and its gross extravaganza
mismanagement aud corruption, has forfeited the
respect and lost the confidence of the American

the Pacific Railroad ought to be encouraged by
the Federal and State Governments by ali means
in their power, and that meanwhile the mail SER
vice by the Overland routes should be sustained

journs, its members adjourn to meet, as citizens,

Democracy in defiance Of trcacherous Presidents

RESOLVED, That the doctrine Of Intervention
by Congress to establish a slave code for the Ter

the true Democracy as laid down m the Platform
made at Cincinnati, and we repudiate it as the
heresy of a faction and condemn il as an outrage
upon the great charter Of American Liberty.
"REsoLyED, 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 to place
the Central Overland Mail ON the same footing, as
to compensation, as the Southern route"
