i"tioHs, reported the Joto'cing Greed Of the Party

The Democracy of Nevada County, assembled at
Nevada City, Sept sth, 1850, i'll accordance with
time honorcd custom, do adopt the following res
olutions as a declaration of their principles and
position in the Presidential contest of 1850.
Besotred, That we hereby re-aflirm the principles
announced in the Platform of the Democratic Party
at Cincinnati in June. 1856.
ReSoired, That we cordially ndorse the Platform
adopted by the Democratic Party at Baltimore,
July sd, 1859, in the Convention which nominated
JOHN c. BRECKINRIDGE and JOSEPH LANE be
leving that the contains the true and correct
explanation of the Cincinnati Platform, and the
only correct position of the National Democracy
upon the doctrine of Non Intervention.
ReSolrea, That the correct Interpretation of the
principles of Non Intervention is-That neither
Congress nor Il Territorial Legislature, whether
by direct, indirect unfriendly Legislation, has
the right the power to annul or impair the Con
sttutional right of any citizen of the United States
to take his property, of whatever character, into
the common Territories, and hold the same there
while the Territorial condition remains.
Resotced, That all citizens of the United States
have an equal right to settle with their property
i'll the Territories, and that under the decision Of
the Supreme Court, in the Drcd Scott case, which
we recognize as true and correct exposition of
thepowers reposed in Congress over the Terrific
ries. neither Congress nor Territorial Lerisla,
lures can interfere with impair that right.
ReSolred, That regarding the decision OF the Su-
preme Court as binding upon all departments of
Party to resist all attempts to commit that party
to the doctrine that the Territorial Lcgislaturc
contrary to any decision which NAV be, or has
been rendered by that Court, may discriminate
either IN relation to persons property in the
Territories, which are the common possessions of
the United States, so as to give advantages to the
citizens of one State, which are not equally as
surcd to those of every other State.
ReSOfred, That the oldand well established doct-
rinc of the Democratic party, of 50 Principles not
Men," is superior to, and above all questions oc
regularity or irregularty of nominations That
as Democrats, we are bound to follow where prin-
ciplcs and not ambitious leaders guide MS, and will
cschew all coalitions, fusions ama@amations,
AS suhTcrsive of all principle, and ruling feature
of corrupt asprants, whose only policy is rule or
ruin.
ReSolre9, That will give our undivided and
earnest support to the National Democratic Nomi
nees, ,JOliN {. BRECKINEIDtiE and JOSEPH LANE.
ReSOired, That our rallying cry be- - The Con
stituton and the Equality of the StatrS.n
ReS0tred. That the Democratic Party of Nevada
County, true now as ever, to the ancient principles
OF the party, of opposition to all monopocs, do
hereby instruct the Candidates for Senate and As
scmbly, nominated by this Convention, if clcctci
to use their influence and to east their against
the Parsons Bulkhcad Bill, if again presented, or
any other scheme looking to Bulkhc;ld Legislation
which partakcs of the character of monopoly or
conlers upon any Company, Association, Corpora
tion or Body, the control of such enterprises to
their private and especial benefit.
Resoi"ed, That stephen \. Douglas received his
pretended nomination from factions and broken
up Convention, and in direct violation of the two
thirds rule, which had been adopted for the roy-
ernmcnt of that body, and which had never been
rcscindcd, and by body which could not count
even majority III their favor if each delegate ha |
been allowed to vote according to his own personal
preference.
