National Territories, for the purpose Of prohib-
lting or protecting slavery, or any local inter-
est or institution whatever

Federal officials in the local politics of State

ment thus interfering, and insulting and debas-
ing to the people Of the State.
Resolved, That the action Of the late Legisla-
ture of this State, in censurng the course Of q
portion Of our Congressional delegation, was
unwise and uncalled for-no part OF their legis-
lative dutes-but designed to affect injuriously
the interests Of the State, by impairing the In
nuence and position Of our regular representa-
tiyes in the councils Of the nation.
Resclred That In the construction OF the Pa
| cifc Railroad, we recognize q great duty OF
our party. an added bond in the National Un-
ion. and the security Of this State aud while
separated by sterile deserts and dangerous seas
! from the bulk of our nation, we earnestly dep
reoate that policy which would apply the reve-
nue. of the nation to purchasing strangers rath-
er than protecting citizens
Resolved, That we present this our platform
to the citizens of Nevada county, with full con-
Gdence that in their enlightened judgement will
be found Its final and complete triumph.
