were adopted
Resoz,ed, That the loyal masses of Cali
fornia are unalterably attached TO the i'm
perishable principles of the Union Repub-
of progress, of the advancement of civil,
individual and national liberty, of the war
against rebellion, of the preservation of the
Union, of the delivery of four millions of
people from bondage, and that its great
mission will never end until the union of
all the States shall be established on foun-
dation of Justice and right, never again to
be shaken, either by traitors at home or by
their allies abroad.
Resolced, That the Constitution devolves
upon The Executive the duty to see that the
laws are faithfully executed, and that when
any law is enacted in conformity with the
prescribed constitutional forms, the Execu-
tive is bound to execute the same.
Resolred, That the House of Represen-
tatives is entitled to the gratitude and
thanks of the nation for its action in pre-
ferring articles of impeachment against
Andrew Johnson that his fragrant disre
gard of a positive enactment of Congress,
in the removal of the Secretary of War in
direct violation of an express provision
forbidding such act, was of itself high
crime, and which added to the long series of
his gross misdemeanorS, would, II suffered
to 90 unrebuked, subordinate all the other
powers of Government to the despotic will
of the Executive, and would end IN the
subversion of the Constitution and the final
destruction of representative government.
Resolced, That the loyal masses of Cali
fornia, with one voice, approve Of and
pledge themselves to sustain all the recon-
struction measures Of Congress; that in
carrying out the principles involved in
those measures Congress is only executing
that provision of the Constitution which
devolves upon the United States the obliga
ton to guarantee to every State IN the
Union a republican form Of government.
Resohed, That we have the most implicit
confidence in the Senate of the United
States, before which august tribunal the
highest officer known to the Constitution
and laws is now arraigned and on his trial,
that they will fairly and impartially discharge
the solemn duty imposed upon them ac-
cordiny to the law and evidence, and they
will, by their decision and judgement, main
tain and vindicate the Constitution and
laws of their country, uniafuenced by either
political or personal considerations.
Reso7rea, That we are in favor of the
strictest economy in the administration OF
our National, State and county affairs Of
reducing public taxation at once to the low
est limit allowable by the requirements of
our public obligations.
Resolred. That the payment Of the public
debt. and in which is involved the national
honor, is cardinal point in our political
faith that reputation would be an aban-
donment of the principles upon which the
war for the Union was fought, a concession
that the Union was not worth defending,
breach of the public faith, a violation of
plighted honor and a crime against the
ioyal dead, who gave their lives on the bat
tle-feld in defense of the great cause for
which it was incurred.
Resolred, That is the bounden duty of
the National Government, under all crcum-
stances and at all hazards, so to use the
national power in its fullest extent without
hesitation and without delay, that the
rights of every American citizen, native
born and naturalized shall be fully pro-
tected at home and abroad; and especia lily
that no foreign nation should be permitted
to arrest and punish any American citizen
for any oEense comm it,cd upon our own
soil.
Resolred, That in Ulysses S. Grant-the
hero, the patriot and the statesman-we
recognize the representative man of the
times, one in whose keeping the destiny and
honor of the nation will ever be safe, and
