RESOLUTIONS OF the floCcE OVuAsJ DoA-.~
cratic Convention.
The representatives OF the Democracy of Placer
county feel that they would not do their whole
duty without making declaration of the sent'-
ments of those they represent. Therefore :,
Resoived, That we regard the present Radical
party and its representatives In both Houses 0!
the Congress of the United States, Ms band Oh
the most desperate fanatics and usurpers, VINO ~
successive violations oil their most solemn pledges
by infractons Of the organic law, and OF the pup
lie faith, to encompass mere partisan ends, have
brought our people and institutions to the very
verge Of ruin. They have, after tapping the lie
blood of the Nation, and expending millions o!
treasure, under the most solemn and repeated
pledges and declarations that the same was done
to prevent the States which sought to withdraw
from the Union from doing so, themselves driven
those States out treating them as suIyugated
provinces, and us held by the right of conquest,
and now hold ten sovereigntics subject to contrti
and military supervision, and the guaranteed
dominion OF an inferior race: They have den
antIy spurned the Constitution as the organic
lew of the land, and issued their DEGREES and
erected their will as the higher law to which
coordinate branches Of the Government, the
Judiciary aud Executive are to yield acQuies'
cence. and to which the people bound IN iettefs
and thraldom as their minions, are to submit with
out murmur They have, under Pretcnce OF
diminishing the public debt, imposed heavy
tribute upon every citizen, saving always those
who have riches, and making the poor, poorer.
They have invented the most oppressive systems
of taxation to take from labor the hope Of re-
ward, and they have filled the land with swarms
of officials who harrass the people and eat
out their substance. Hoping thereby 70 IN
sure their final dominance in the pending can
vass through corruption and frauds, and to COM
plete full conspiracy to overthrow the Govern
ment OF our fathers, they resolve to overthrow
the President, and to install one Of the wol OF
their chief consprators in his place; an act which
the conservative ircemen of the country declare
to lie without justification or plausible excuse,
and which we denounce as an outrage wlthout
parallel in the history of the civilized world, and
worthy only OF its corrupt and revolutionary au-
thOrs go
