1t is with blush of shame that we
lay before our readers the "Whereas'
of the platform OF the reform party Of
California, and upon which Kearpey
was elected.
There is grea: truth in its declaration,
and it should put 10 shame those to
whom it points. Who have formed the
large majority Of our legislators All
who has extorted from an outraged,
dupea and betrayed people such express
sions as the following;
"WHEREAs, The duty of making the
laws of our country has hitherto been
confined to the non-pro1ucing elements
of society, who have failed to secure us
III our inalicnable rights, utterly ignor-
ing the welfare of the producers, upon
whose labor INDIVIDUAL AND NATIONAL
PROSPERITY depends, reducing orr FAR
MERs and wage laborers to state of de-
pendence, and
WHEREAS, Our Legislatures, National,
State and Municipal, have become infest-
cd with thieves, who do not scruple to
take brides, until our national fame has
become a by-word and reproach among
nations"
Does not sacred history tell us that
the Jews were once chosen people ?
and shall we go on in disregard OF its
teachings and allow a corrupt class to
brinu individual rnip op5 tho aurSo of q
bene6ceut Creator upon us. We must
change, and select our law makers from
u different element.
We shall take occasion 10 lay before our
readers hereafter some of the resolutions
OF said platform, which plainly point
out some Of the wileS of national and
State legislation.
