DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM.
Adopted in Convention Mt Sacramento
September 10th, 1865.

Resolved. That we sincerely rejoice in the ces-
saton OF war and the return of peace throug ghout
our whole country; and We trust that the momen
tous lessons of the past four years will inspire
among all our fellow citizens greater reverence
for constitutional obligations, and those friendly
and fr0ternal relations between the people of all
the States. which are the most solid guarantee
for the perpetuity of the Union.
Resolved, That the Democracy of California
will in the future rs in the past give q cordial
discharge of all its constitutional functions and
most especially in times Of great national peril;
that in the face Of the manifold difficulties and
emblrrassments resulting from the late war, the
Democratic party will not withhold its support
from the policy of the Administration far as
the same tends to 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
we'll rs of humanity to the negro themselves. the
Democratic party is inhexbly opposed to negro
suffrage, and its inevitable consequence, the po-
lticll and social equality of the negro, in every
form, and especially to the unnatural aud revo-
!utonary scheme for thrusting universal suffrage,
by action of Congress, upon the negroes of the
Southern States
Resolved, That the welfare of California de-
mand. imperltively, that her mining int eresls
should be developed and fostered; and her pco-
pie are in the same degree opposed to any system
for the sale or taxation OF her mines.
Resolved that the whole history of California
is triumphant vim lication OF her State policy Of
a gold and silver circulating mediums; and that
any change in this respect would be disastrous in
the extreme that unwritten contracts for work.
labor and services should by law, in all cases, 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 a pretext in any
supposed necessity of State. for trials by military
courts. or arrests by military power. And that
the writ of habeas corpus should be held inviol
able under the provisions of the Constitution.

The great Cincinnati bridge, about to be
suspended across the Ohio river, will be the
longest in the world, being over two thou
sand feet longer than that over the Niagara
river, and therefore FIVE hundred and ffy
feet longer than the Menai bridge in Eng.
land. Its total span will he one thousand
fifty seven feet. The massive stone piers
tower one hundred and ten feet above the
floor of the bridge, and two hundred feet
above their foundations. One year is the

New Method Of Making Bread.

Good bread is good thing, and one not
so easily obtained a correspondent Of the
American Agriculturalist says she can make
good bread and she tells others how TO do
It. She says: Instead Of protracied agony
Of twelve or eighteen hours, it will be a
pleasant exercise Of a few minutes in making
it-just two hours for raising g-and baked in
fiftv minutes, and then out come the loaves,
80 round and light. so tender and sweet, the
whols household will be delighted. The first
thing, and last in fact, 4 proper tempera-
ture, both while making it and in process Of
raising. Without heat, internal as we'll as
external, fermentation cannot be rapid
enough. Then hea; two bricks to 100 deg
or more, and place the pan you make the
bread in upon them, and so knead aud. work
in the heat with the material Aud now,
though the great army of bread bakers stand
up in foury array against me, and even shake
their doughy fingers at me, | shall not vince
or abate one jot. Success is the lest of tner'
it, as the world goes, and the past delnsive
notion that, after bread is light once, i, must
forsooh be moulded over into loaves, and
set TO work again is all nonsense. 1t often
induces to sourness, certainly mu'tiplies la
Dor, and takes time. Well, then, have two
tins well CREASED, and divide the dough
equally. | use two quart tins, which, Of
course, requires two quarts Of -four and over
for a loaf) and set them to rise by the stove
on the hot bricks, with piece of carpet
over the bricks, TO moderate the heat. and
then well cover with warm wooIans. In two
hours it will be rising like Aaldin's palace.
when fairly trimming fall place it in your
oven, and you will soon have as delicious
bread to eat AS one ought to expect out of
Paradise. claim this as original, and only
ask you to follow these directions, and give
us the result Thus bread making ceases to
be the tax on time and patience it usually is,
and the harrassing doubts and fears one usui
ally goes through with while following the
old method, are quite done away with. |
