SATURDAY. 49,: AUG. "a, 1867.
The Union Platform.

The Union Party of the State of California
in Convention assembled. hereby present to
the people of this State their platform and
declaration of party principles
Resolred, That in the present, as in the
past, we are irreconcilably opposed to treason
and to traitors, whether the same shall at
tempt to subvert our Union and control our
Government by fraud and treachery from
within, or force from without; and that up
on the loyalty of the Nation, tried and prov
en-, we rely to re-establish firmly and forever
the bonds of our National Union.
ResolUed. That in reconstructing the Ma
tion its foundation should be justice and its
architect loyalty, and we are not willing
that those so active to destroy should be
chosen and preferred builders to erect it. and
until it shall appear that in the States lately
in rebellion loyal Committees exist. capable
and ready to administer Justice and enforce
law in accordance with the principles of
government of freemen, and equally is it our
wish that the Government be administered
and the law enforced by the loyal agents of
the Federal Government.
ResolUed, That in the reconstruction plan
of the late Congress we recognize policy as
wise as it is magnanimous, and when the re-
spective States late in rebellion shall bring
themselves within its provisions. we will
welcome them as sisters. and receive them as
equals in a reconstructed Union.
Resolued. That we deem the passage by the
Legislature of law establishing eight hours
labor as a legal days work, eminently just
and proper.
Resolred. That the importation of Chinese
or any other people of the Mongolian race
into the Pacific States or Territories, is in
every respect injurious and degrading to
American labor, by forcing it into unjust and
ruinous competition, and an evil that should
be restricted by legislation and abated by
such legal and constitutional means as are in
our power.
Resoired, That the future primary elections
of the Union party in this State should be
held under the provisions of the primary
election law, and that such test should be
prescribed and enforced as shall exclude all
persons not members of the Union party.
ResoIred, That we fully approve the amend
ment to the Constitution of the State, pre-
sented by the Legislature of 1866, and pro-
viding that the Legislature shall have no
power to make an appropriation of money
for any purpose whatever, for period longer
than two years; that the same should be ac-
eepted by the Legislature, adopted by the
people and become part of the Constitution
of the State.

An Interesting Letter.

SACRAMENTO, April 80. 1865.
DR.. e. M. BOURNE Dear Sir 1T is with
pleasure and satisfaction that now let you
know of my good health. Looking back
upon what have passed through, it seems as
if l had been lifted from the grave, and l
think it my duty to acknowledge to you and
the world the benefit l derived from water
treatment as administered by you in your
celebrated baths, 1t was in August 1864,
when disease developed itself with a severe
cough. then took medicines, getting worse
with chills. fevers, loss of strength and was
pronounced consumptive. This set me to
thinking, ana fnallyI determined to leave
my business and go to the Sandwich Islands,
having been informed that | could not be
cured here. l went to San Francisco, and
while waiting for ship, called upon DR..
Bourne, who stated that trip to the Islands
would probably result disastrously was who'll
ly unnecessary. as l could be speedily cured
at his establishment. l placed myself under
his treatment, and in one week was so much
improved that could risk returning home
and do my duty as Engineer on the Central
Pacific Railroad. The Doctor objected, but
thought knew better, and returned to duty.
In about two weeks my cough returned, and
| kept getting worse. and coE;iary to DR..
Bourne's injunction never to take medicine
again, committed that folly, and soon was so
completely run down that L could scarcely
walk so, as last resort, l concluded to try
the Water Cure once more. l went to San
Francsco-few of my friends expecting me
to return. In fact, l thought my return doubt
full On arriving at DR.. Bourne's establish
ment, February II, 1861 was not able to
get into the bath without assistance, but in a
few days began to recover myself again -
| remained with him Only six weeks, when |
felt a 50 wiser and better man." without the
aid of medicine | have now been at work
several weeks. and find that l am gaining
every day, and at present bid fair to be stout
er than ever before. Persons visiting the
Doctors establishment find it just what ii
should be. both in the Ladies' and Gentle
mems Departments, and l cannot say too
much in praise of the Doctors kind attention
to his patients.
This letter write for the benefit of all the
afflicted, to be used as the Doctor decides
and should it be the means of directing any
to his care and treatment who las they assur-
edly will, find relief. l will be paid for my
trouble. JAMES CAMPBELL,

Up hill-but up to light,
As recompense for all the wayside tolls,
In climbing out of night
To win from struggling life immortal spoils.
Up hill-but up to peace,
The land forever tranquil ard serene,
Where tears and sorrows cease,
And no dark wave of troubling care is seen.
Up hill-but up to bliss.
To be forever free from stains of sin,
When earth's last good night kiss
Becomes the seal of Heavens glad wei

A life which never wearies nor grows old,
Unvexed by care and strife;
Immortal in the shining upper fold.
