MONTICELLO, W. T., May 18th, 1861.
FRIEND LoDGE:-
The late Atlantic news received here last
evening is startling. War is inevitable, it
is even now upon u.s. Rebellion is spread
ing and gaining, and threatening the over
throw Of our government 1t is clear in
my mind, that the constitution gives the
power to Congress, and the President in
their absence, to employ the full force of
the government to put down domestic strife
and rebellion, as well as foreign invasion.
The constitution and laws must be preserv-
ed, at least as far as practicable to preserve
and perpetuate the government, repeliDg
attacks and defending the law-abiding citi-
zens. Congress to judge, and in their alb
sence, the President is sworn to enforce the
laws, as he may deem expedient and pru-
dent.'
l am in favor of giving every part Of our
country all constitutional rights, and for all
honorable adjustments OF our present diff
culties, but will nor can go no further. l
have sworn Tin two .capaciles) to uphold
aud defend the constitution Of the Union;
this 1 will abide by. deprecate war, and
am for peace; but as to the right, under the
Constitution, Of any State to rebel or Sc
cede without the consent Of Congress, or a
general convention of all the States, will
not nor cannot consent.
We have truly fallen upon trying times,
in which no good citizen can fail in taking
and feeling an interest. Each days news
brings new events, and mems opinions
change as these events are developed. A
final and equitable settlement of the division
and strife Of the States is ardently hoped
for, and may yet be accomplished.
The conVening Of our Territorial Conyen-
tion at Vancouver, to nominate a candidate
for Delegate to Congress, is very oppor-
tune time for the Democracy of this Terri
tory to take into consideration the condition
of the government; the rebellion Of large
portion of the States; the momentous
events transpiriDg, and the tending distress
of the country, and the effort to overthrow
the Constitution, the Union of States, and
the Republic of our Fathers. Will not the
convention adopt suitable resolutions Of
meeting this more than COM
mon eventful timer This is a time when 1t
is expected that the great heart Of the par
ty will meet, deliberate and speak. Not
merely the meeting of precinct or coun-
ty, which may not always be truly conserv-
ative, but the meeting Of delegates from all
the counties of the Territory.
Yours, respectfully,
A. r. BURBANK.
