Uricn Resolves Of Washington Territory.

WHEREAS, The present appalling conjuncture OF
our public affairs is calculated TO excite in the
heart Of every loyal American. feelings OF the most
anxious solci,ude and profound alarm, prophetic
Of the direst calamity that civil liberty has ever
vet been called upon to endure; we, therefore,
representing the present Legislative authority of
Washington Territory, an integrant portion OF our
common country, deem it our privilege and solemn
duty, on So momentOus an occasion, 10 give ex-
preston to the following sentiments:
Resolved by the LeSisiatre AssemIly Of Washington
Ttrriory-
First. That we consider the preservation Of our
existing national Union the first Of all patriotic
duties. and the chief Of all political blessings, by
which alone can be secured the identity VI the
American citizen and the ful6lment OF our mission
as the great excmplar Of free institutions.
Second That it is the bounden duty OF all good
and true citizens, and especially of those who
guide and govern popular sentiment, to counsel
harmony and conciaton and to effect and main
tain, by all necessary concessions ana compro-
misses, the integrity and perpetuity OF that holy
brotherhood Of States under which we nave De-
come the admiration Of the world.
Third. That we utterly discountenance-as
fraugit with incipient treason, and the insldious
offspring Of reckless aspirations, disappointed am
hilton, or culpable ignorance-all projects Tor a
Pacific Confederacy. Washington Territory covcts
only the di ,tncton of exhibiting, first and last,
her devotion to the entire Union as created by our
ancestors, consccrated by their blood, and be-
uueathcd to US, the palladium OF civil and popular
rights,

"E PLrR1HUs UNUM. The words
of this beautiful, patriotic song may be
found on the first page of to-day's pa
per. Let it be sung at the family altar
and in the social circle. Teach it to
your children, and let its soul-thrilling
sentiments be deeply craven on the
youthful heart. Teach their first lisp
ing accents to be raised in praise of our
glorious land. 1t is for us to erase
the foul stain which treason has cast
upon our nations fair fame; it will be
for them to perpetuate the glorious in
heritance of our sires. Let "E Pluri-
bus Unum" resound in one joyous an.
them throughout the Territory honored
by the name of WASHINGTON, and our
snow-capped mountains will send back
the thrilling cadence for the perpetuity
Of our glorious "Many in One"

THE TRAIToR's REwARD.-Upon Jo-
lanes arrival in San Francisco he was
salutcd with derisive shouts from the
populace, and such epithets as "traitor,"
secessionist," and the like. At Port
land no deputation of citizens awaited
him to honor his arrival as on former
occasions. On his arrival at Dallas.
the Stars and Stripes were flung to the
breeze amidst the firing of a national
salute,-thirty-four guns,-but no one
advanced to receive the hypocritical
"God bless you" so lavishly bestowed
upon his constituents Ito use his own
term for "constituents') formerly, and
the next morning the first object that
met his gaze was an effigy suspended
from tree in front of his hotel with
the inscription, "Joseph Lane, the
Traitor!" Such il the reward of
treason.

THE MA1Ls.-We are pleased to learn
that hereafter our mails will be received
within the schedule time-thirty-six
hours from Portland. 1t is we'll known
that the imperfect manner in which the
service has been performed heretofore
has been occasioncd by the inability of
the steamers plying between Portland
and Monticello to perform the transit
between those places within the time
required by law. But we must protest
against the blame being attributed to
the contra, tor on that route, for we
arc aware that he used his utmost en-
lcavors to obtain astcamcr of sufficient
power to accomplish the trip in the
time prescribed. Prior to the date
when the contract went into effect, he
had in view the purchase of the steamer
Express, when an accident rendered
her unfit for service. Mr.. Hoyt has at
last succeeded in placing the Jennie
Clark permanently on this route. She
is Of ample power to perform the SER
vice in schedule time. We have been as
much annoyed by. the repeated mail
failures as any other citizen, but we
made no charges against gentlemen
whom we knew were striving to accom-
plish their duty, and have not, there
fore "writtcn an inkstand dry" in de-
tining their duties, nor do we believe
the object would have been attained one
whit sooncrif we had.
Mr.. Winsor always "comes to time"
so in the future we may place confidence
in the faithful performance Of our daily
mail service.

Enrolment Of the Militia. ,


Annexed will be found the proclaim
alton of Acting Governor McGill, call
ing for an organization of the militia of
this Territory, to "meet any requisition
from the President ofthe United States,
or the Governor of this Territory, to
aid in maintaining the laws and integ-
rity ofthe National Union" The Pres.
ident of the United States is not likely
to call upon Territory, and especially
one so remote from the scene of war as
is ours, but as an exhibition of loyalty
to our Government, and prote citing our
own shores in case of an Indian out
break, is about the extent of the bene-
fit to result. We have hundreds of citi-
zens who would delight in "salting
down" the traitors of the South, but we
apprehend they will scarcely have that
pleasure if they await that requisition.
Let usnot question the motives which
prompted Gov. McGill to assume the
position, but aid in accomplishing the
object sought to be attained.
The Governor has instructed the Adj
jutant-Gencral, Frank Matthias, to i'm
mcdiately issue a general order, desig-
mating some persons in each county to
open lists for the enrolment of the mil
itia, and upon his receiving from Gen.
Matthias a report of the organization OF
each company, he will at once commits
sion the officers elected.
Proclamation by the Governor.
WHEREAS, the President of the Uni
ted States has issued his proclama
ton, stating that the laws of the Uni
ted States have been and now are
opposed in several States by combina-
tons too powerful to be suppressed in
the ordinary way, and therefore, call
ing Tor the Militia OF the several States :
Now therefore, decning it eXpedi-
ent that the Militia of the Territory of
Washington should be placed in rcadi-
ness, to meet any rcquisition from The
President of the United States, or the
Governor Of this Territory, to aid in
maintaining the laws and integrity
of the National Union," do hereby
call upon all the Citizens of this Terri
tory, capable of bearing arms, and liza
BILE to militia duty, to report immedi-
atcly, to the Adjutant General, Of the
Territory, and proceed at once to Or
game themselves into companies, and
elect their own officers, in the man.

The or yanization Of each company
will be Immediately reported to the
Adjutant General, Frank Matthias, at

Our Nominee for Delegate.

On Monday next the territorial Ke-
publican Convention meets in this city
to select nominee for the important
position Of acting as our Representa-
tive at the National Capitol. In max
ing that choice u weighty responsibility
rests with the Convention. II the nom-
inee of that body can obtain the full
strength Of the party throughout the
Territory, we have no doubt of a COM
plete triumph over the cohorts of seces-
sion and revolution. That there are
those aspiring to the nomination who
would fail to do this, none can have a
reasonable doubt, and it therefore be-
hooves each member to have a full and
complete knowledge Of the popular
strength, the ability, and the capability
of each applicant, before a decision is
medc in favor of either.
We need a man who will triumph in
the counties bordering on the Columbia
river, and in view of this we believe,
other things being equal, prudence
would dictate choice from that locality.
This we believe will be the view enter
tanned by the Convention, aud thenom-
nation made in accordance Herewith.
But other considerations may outweigh
this, and more available candidate
found elsewhere. In either case, the
duty of each member is plain. It ia
but to be expected that each locality
should favor its own aspirant, but it is
likewise the duty of each section to
waive all selfish motives, when by so
doing the strength of the party is aug
mented.
We hope and trust that in the ap-
preaching canvass no sectional feuda
will be brought into contest; hut that
the nominee, whoever he may be-
whether from the river, the Sound, or
other Localities east or west,-will re-
receive the vote of every man who has
the good of the whole country at heart
Our anticipations OF victory are Of
the most sanguine nature. For the
first time we enterinto the contest with
o thorough organization in the greater
portion Of the counties, and fair pros
poets of success.
Let US form the resolve that whoever
the nominee may be, to meet the enemy
with unhrollcn ranks.
