WHEREAS, 1t is proper that the will of the
people of California, expressed by their imme-
diate representatives, should be known upon
the subject now most deeply occupying the
American mind. Be it therefore
HesOtcei, by the Senate, tue Assembly con-
curing /. That the attachment of the PeO-
Pile OF California 10 the Union Of the States, to
one undivided nationality, is firm, undated
and unalterable; that the People Of California
are IN favor of the most thorough aud energet-
&c prosecution OF the war in which tie Govern
ment is now engaged for the maintenance Of
the Constitution, and the establishment of its
supremacy over the whole territory Of the ma
ton.
=. That the People of California are utterly
opposed to the prosecution of the war as
means of abollshing slavery 10 the States where
it exists, or for the purpose OF impairing the
Constitutional guarantees Of the people in any
portion of the Cuniedcracy; but, On the contra
nv, they are in favor Of its vigorous prOsecu-
ton for the suppression Of treasunable e0mbi-
nations for the protection and defence of the
Constitution, the laws, the rights, aud the lib
critics of the whole people.
3. That the people Of California witness with
pleasure aud approval the conservative and
patriotic course of the President Of the United
States, involving the object for which the war
Is conducted, aud that they highly deprecate
any policy IN its prosecution other than the
preservation and perpetuiIy Of our commOn
country, aud that the intervention of any other
object eau only tend to Ihwart the purpose aud
disappOlnt the hopes of loyal and patriotic
people, whose living sentiment, alike in peace
or war, is Liberty and Union.

THE MOUNTAIN DEMOCRAT.
Our Platform.

Il should not be forgotten that the only
vital principle in any of the party plat
forms of the last Presidential contest, was
in regard to the slavery question. As the
Union has taken Latham to task for speak
ing complimentary of the Breckenridge
platform, it may not be out Of place to
briefly revert to its history aud mention
some of its supporters. In the month of
May 1860, it was voted upon and adopted
by the Senate of the United States. 1t
embodied the principles Of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, as interpreted
by the United States Supreme Court. In
the Senate it was sanctioned and advoca-
ted by every Democratic Senator, save
the deceased statesman Of Illinois. Not
only did all the Democratic Senators, with
the exception Of Mr.. Douglas, support
that platform, but the venerable states
man from Kentucky, John j. Crittendcn,
gave it an earnest and unhesitating sup
port. Andrew johnson, Holt, Stanton
and Dickinson zealously supported it
Had the principles of that platform been
Endorsed by the American people the
Union, which the Constitution created,
would still exist in its integrity. Unfor-
tunately sectional party with sectional
platform. triumphed, with what result all
intelligent men know and good men de-
pfUre. That platform, which the Union
and other Republican organs denounce,
will yet, we are confident, receive the
cordial and almost unanimous indOrse-
ment Of the American people. Not until
the Constitution becomes odious and the
Union shattered into fragments, will the
principles it cmbo,3ies' Ge 4eD0diaie3 by
the American people. y platform more
truly National and patriotic has never
been presented by political party since
the organization Of our Government.
