that we are naturally opposed to any interference
With such right, either by the Leg Slat7e or tx
ecuttve departments Of the General NWeraineht.
Resolved. That the Administration Of James
Suchanan. bv its outrageS upon the rights Of the
people Of Kansas. its unreleniing prescription o;
tried and worthy Democrats for the ohanse Of ad.
herring 10 Democratic principles its constant vio.
alton Of the pledges which brought il into life, its
attempt to render the Legislative subject 10 the
Executive Department and its gross cxtravarance
mismanagement and corruption, has forfeited the
respect and lost the confidence of the American
people.
REsoLvED. That the immediate construction Of
the Pacific Railroad ought TO be encouraged by
the Federal and State Governments hv all means
IN their power, and that meanwhile the mail ser.
vice by the Overland routes should be sustained
and increased.
REsoLvEp, That our State Judiciary system
needs a thorough and complete revision, and that
the Constitution should be so changed as tJ in
crease the number OF Judges OF the supreme

our labors and OF voices, we show TO the world

Federal patronage, and are unawod by Federal
power. and will staad by the sacred principles o
Democracy in defiance Of treacherous President:
and their Cabinets.
Resolved, That the doctrine Of Intervention
by Congress to establish slave code for the Ter
ritories, 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 it the
heresy Of a faction and condemn il as an 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, whiva pledges were announced in
his il-timed letter Of 1856, two weeks previous
