Adopted In Convention ut Sacramento
September 18Th, 1863.

Resolved That we sincerely lcjoice in the ces-
sation OF war and the return Of peace throughout
our whole country; and we trust that the momcn
tous lessons OF the past four years will inspire
among all our fellow citizens greater reverence
for constitutional obligations and those iiiendly
and iraterRal relations between the people of all
the States. which are the most solid guarantee
for the perpctuily Of the Union
Resolved That the Democracy Of California
will in the future. as in the past, give cordial
support to the National Administration in the
discharge of all its constitutional functions. and
most especially in times OF great national peril;
that in the face Of the manifold difficulties aud
embarrassmcnis resulting from the late war; the
Democratic party will not withhold it's support
from the policy Gf the Administration so far as
The slglc tends 10 secure the rights and liberties
of the States and of their citizens.
Resolved That upon every ground Of Justice
and policy to the white people OF the country as
well rs OF humanity to the negI9 themselves, the
Democratic purity is intcxibly opposed to negro
suffrage. and iss inevitable consequence, the PC
iitie,a aud social equality OF the negro in every
torn, aud especially to the unnatural and revo-
autionary scheme for thrustng universal suffrage.
by action OF Congress- upon the negroes OF lhe
Southern States.
Resolved, That the welfare of California de.
mant. imperltvcly, that her mining inte isis
should be developed and fosterec: and her peo
pie are i'll the same degree opposed to any system
Tor the sale or taxation OF her mines
EesolNed that the whole history of California
Is a triumphant vim ieation OF her State policy of
- gold and silver circulating medium; and that
any change in this respect would be disastrous in
!he extreme; that unwritten contracts for work.
labor and services should by law, in all ca. es be
enforced in gold and silver coin.
Resolved, That the Monroe doctrine Is an es-
sential part Of the policy OF the Democratic party
and OF the American people.
Resolved. That when the civil authority is in
full operation, there is neither warrant in the
Constitution or laws, or even pretext in any
supposed necessity OF State for trials by military
courts or arrests 10y military power. And that
abo under the provisions Of he Constitution.
