RESOLVED. That we re.atfirm and re-adopt
the resolutions adopted by the anti-Lecomp-

RESOLVED, That we recognize in the plain
and unmistakabe Interpretation of the Gin

tests of true National Democracy
Resolved. That the platform and resolu-
tions adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention, assembled at Sacramento, on the 4th
day of August, 1858; and presided over 10y
Humphrey Griffith, of Yolo county. are in
str. ct accordance with Democratic principles
.Resolved. That the principles involved in
the Kansas Nebraska Act-that the people Of
every State and Territory have the inaliena-
BILE and exclusive right of forming and regu-
lating all of their domestic institutions-lies
at the very foundation of Democracy, and its
preservation and its virdicaton are vitality
essential to the perpetuity of the Union and
success of the Democratic party.
ResoIved, That the people of a State OF
Territory have the inherent right to decide
on their form of government. as an entirety
at the ballot-box. subject alone to the Con
stitution of the United States and that when
ever they assert that right, their decision i:
| final and irrevocable.
ReSoIucd, That adhering to these princi-
pies as fundamental tests of Democracy, we
declare ourselves ready to contend for their
eventual triumph, and ask all good and true
Democrats to cooperate with us to that end
| ReSolVed, That we recognize in Stephen A.
Douglas, an able and fe rless champion OF the
foregoing principles and as such, w in this
manner desire to assure him of our earnest
and unwavering support.
In addition to the foregoing resolutions, be
it further
Resolved, That in David G. Broderick we
recognize the true and tried Democrat; and
that we have full confidence in his integrity,
patriotism and abilities as q statesman, and
we pledge to him our confidence and support
in waging war upon political corruption in
high places.
Resolued, That the resolutions adopted by
the present Legislature of this State, censur-
ing David c. Broderick, and requesting him
to resign his seat in Congress, were a gross
violation Of the pre- ogrtives of Legislators,
and as we lelieve, contrary to the feeling,
and wishes Of majority of the people of this
State.
Resolued, That the creation of a perma-
nent Natiodal debt is at war with the Repub-
lIcan simplicity on which our Government is
founded. and dangerous to our future pros
perity and that we will earnestly oppose any
attempt to inaugurate such policy.
Resolved. That the reckless expenditure af
money by the resent National Government,
if suffered to continue much longer, will fas.
ten great debt upon the nation, which will
cripple its future energies and take many
years to extnguish.
Resolved. That the acts of the majority of
the present Assembly of this State in censur.
ing David g. Broderick and requesting him
to resign his seat in Congress; in paying an
official Reporter fourteen dollars per day.
when one equally as good was offered to
them without fee or rewal d; in refusing Mr.
Y,
wht it was in proof before them that he ac-
tually received Il majority of the votes of the
electors of his county-and other doings
which might be speciied-are outrageous
acts of corrupt party tyranny, and ought not
to be tolerated by free and enlightened
constituency.
Resot0ed. That when we see a Board of
County Canvassers returning man as elect
ed to the Assembly when they know he did
not receive a majority of the votes of the
electors OF the county; and when we see them
tIying to shield their conduct behind irregu-
larity in election returns, when the law spe-
cifcally declares that such irregularity shall
not destroy the validity of said returns; and
when we see said County Canvassers laboring
with the said NATURALIZATION they have
returned as elected to the Assemtly-to get
their official salaries raised, we are led TO in
fer that there is official corruption being
practiceu, and we believe their conduct de
serves tie seyerest scrutiny by the taxpayers
who support them in office.
ResOLued That we tender our hearty thanks
to j. c. McKibben for his able and fearless
support in Congress of sound Democratic
principles, and we promise him our future
confidence and support.
Resolved, That we look with contempt up
on the refusal Of the Supreme Court to allow
the Sacramento Union to have access to its
reports for the purpose of early publication.
ResoLved. That if the Democracy of FL Do
RADIO county should, during the coming po-
tical campaign, offer one of their true and
tried champions to the Democracy of the
State as a candidate for the office of Govern
or, we sincerely hope that the offer win be
cheerfully accepted
Resotved, That we recommend to our
friends in the several election precincts in
this county to see, at the next election, that
the Election Borrds are properly organized,
so as not to give the Supervisors an excuse
| for rejecting such returns as do not suit their
party views.
Resolved That we are in favor of renomi-
mating and re electing MIR. Hoyt from this
county, as the people of Sacramento did DR..
Duncombe
ResoIued. That the Assemblymen from the
mining counties who voted against Assembly
bill No 2l6, entitled "An Act for the sale OF
the sixteenth and thirty sixth sections of
school lands have clearly, by such vote,
manifested that they have not the interest OF
the constituents whom they represent at
heart; neither a desire to promote the cause
of education in the mining counties, conse
quently are not the true exponents of the
wishes of the people whom they represent,
and are deserving of censure.
