Territorial Union Convention.

The undersigned, members of both political parties
as heretofore existing would respectfully and earnestly
recommend to the Union and loyal people of Washing
ton Territory TO meet in Conventions in their respective
counties early day. to select delegates to represent
them in Territorial Union Convention to be held at
VANCOUVER, W. T., MONDAY, MAY %,
1868, for the purpose of nominating Union candidate
TO this Territory in the next Congress- and to
take such other steps towards crectinga Union organ
xaon in this Territory as the dangers now threaten
ing our free institutions may demand: each county to
send to said Convention two 2) delegates for each rep
Representative it has in the lower house OF the cgsla
ture This call to the loyal people Of the nSr" m IS
and the only required by the convention in its
standard-bcarer will be, integrity and capacity an IN
CONDITIONAL Devotion t, CSioN OF STATES; a cor
dial and support of the Government in ITS efforts
to suppress the present wicked rebellion, and full and
steadfast determination to prosecute the war TIL the au
thOrty of the Government is recognized within our Dor
ders. In the dangers and pcrils now surrounding our
country it is believed the partisan should be merged in
the patriot and that should not waste our strength
in wrangling over the merits OF Democracy and Re
publicanism while the torch is being applied to the ed
flee erected by the great of WASHINGTON In this
belief and in this spirit this call is made.
Friends of the Union yOu who are determined to
preserve the nation with all its States and Territories
with all the rights of the States and the people given
them by the Constitution let not, because Of the
hcctng clouds in national sky, despair OF the
Republic Let us meet together i'll Convention to take
COUNSEL and send from this distant shore cheering
word 10 the Government at Washington and the brave
soldier the field who has left his home to fight and
10 fall in the battles Of our beloved country.

nal band pledged upon the only question
which can enter into the present contest
The issue makes the party and not the party
the issue, and when the questions upon which
parties are founded have passed away they can
not longer exist unless new ones arise. The
issues which enter into the present contest
must, therefore, belong to the present and not
the past. We b. either unqualiedly for
the measures tending to restore the sovereign
ty of the Government, or conditionally in ia
vor of that object. 1t is quite as impossi-
bic to occupy neutral ground. We must be
for Or against the Government.
The organization of a Union party is there
fore in conformity with the requirements Of tho
times, and there has been no period since the
rebellion was formally inaugurated, when it is
demonstrated to'bc more imperatively neces-
sary than at the present time. III many of
the Northern States we find an undercurrrnt,
daily gaining strength, composed Of a portion
of the Democratic party. which is attempting
to thwart the purposes of the Government.
1t opposes the war because it is controlled by
Republican President, because of the eman-
cipation proclamation, or for the reason that
negroes are employed to aid in suppressing
the rebellion, Or of some error Of the Executive,
apparently totally oblvious Of the evil conse-
qucnces resulting to the Government and the
Union cause from their il.ti,ncd acts. This
portion of once honored party find willing
and eager colleagues in the numerous North
ern .Judases, who belong body and soul to the
rebel cause. Will any one deny that aside
from the greater evil of scattering disscntion
at home when all should act in concert this
organization encourages and strengthens the
rebels in arms, and renders their blows more
fatal and effective?
This growing opposition, the stirring ap-
pcals of officers and soldiers in the field to
to their friends at home and especially Our
near approach to civil war upon this coast,
should arouse all Union men TO a sense of
duty. 1t should induce them to unite against
opposition, not for the purpose of overthrow
ing political party, but for placing in posi-
tions of public trust reliable Union men, for
the purpose of strengthening Union sentiment,
encouraging our countrymcn in the field. and
sustaining the Administration in the rrosecu
ton of just and righteous war.
The Union Territorial Convention meets at
Vancouver on the 25th inst. Then will a
suitable opportunity be afforded for perfect
organization in the Territory. Let each coun-
ty be represented and this can be readily ac-
compished. Now is the time for continued
action. Be not restrained because others may
not do their whole duty as Union-loving citi-
zrns, but let each loyal man work as if the
success of the Government depended upon
his individual exerions. and the canvass will
be an overwhelming success.

1.-THE Duty of a Loyal Press"

Under this caption the Oregonian defines
its position in a manner to which we cannot
take the slightest exception. AS the article
under consideration was elected by certain
comments in our issue of the 25th ult., we at
once express our cordial endorsement of the
true position of the Oregonian, as laid down
in the issue Of the Both ult. The error would
not probably have been made, had it not ap-
peared few months ago that that paper was
determined to injure, TO the extent of its abl-
ity, the circulation of the National paper cur
rency, which, placed in connection with what
were DEEMED frivolous complaints against the
Administration. called forth the expression
made by us. We hope the Orgonian will,
with equal candor, retract the assertion-or at
least refrain from reasserting-that the STAN
DARD ais under the control Of Federal officials
at Olympia" This is not true. Weogrre
with the Oregoniau that it constitutes no part
Of the duty of the Union press to support the
Federal appointees simply because they are
such. and no journal will labor more xealously
for the removal of any official who shall be
found wanting in either cnpability or integrity.
We acknowledge that several appointments
for our Territory might have been materially
improved; but VIZ must assert, in this connec.
ton, that we have several against whom
incapability and malfeasance in Office have
been charged, who will compare favorably
with the best appointments made under former
Administrations.
While it will readily be conceded as the du-
ty Of the loyal press to defend tho Govern
inent agents against any and all malignant
and selfish attacks to which they may b. sub
ected in the faithful and efficient discharge Of
their respective duties, it will DO granted that
there the obligation ends. If they succeed in
bringing merited censure upon themselves, in
stepping outside their official bounds to dictate
to men equally as competent as themselves Of
forming correct judgment. they have no one
to blame, and no right TO look to the public
journalist for aid or consolation. We are as
much opposed as our Oregon contemporary can
possibly be to the importation Of material for
places Of public trust from "way down in
Egypt" to control and direct our people in
their local af1iairs-to tell them where to hold
conventions; WHO to send to them, and who
they shall nominate. Nor do we believe that
it constitutes any part Of the duty Of such sp
pointees to set themselves up before the expi
ration Of their term Of Office, as is done in min.
cases out Of ten, as candidates for Congress
nor afterwards. until they have resided few
years with rs, and become familiar with on
habits and mode Of life. 1t will be re,ncm
bered that one Of Pierce's Receivers declare,
! it to be "the duty Of Federal appointees t

Necessity for a Union Organization.

At this dark period in our country's history,
when storms Of a most fearful import are burst
ing over our heads, and threatening destruc
ton to our Government and its liberal institu-
tions, it behooves every American citizen to
BE- ut the post Of duty. 1t is no. time for
idle chickering's. or leartless criticism Of
the acts Of the Administration. which but
h,nd to embarass tho Government in its
purposes and plans. Upon the issue Of
the hour hangs the destiny Of our nation and
the cause OF liberty throughout the world.
1t is soul-stiring issue. 1t is whether a
Governn%nt whose principles are founded
upon the inherent rights Of man, shall stand
or fall; whether the greatest achievement Of
the human mind, which it has toiled and Ia
bored to accomplish from tho period of ancient
Greece down to the time Of its complete con.
summation, shall now be lost an issue which
absorbs all others in its vital Importance to
every man who has once breatked the air Of
freedom.
The "great problem" is soon to be solved
and that too for all time to come. A free and
republican form of government will be con-
eeded complete success, or in the event Of
failure We will become tho minions Of des.
potism far more terriblethan that Of the French
revolution. IL there nothing in this alterna-
tive 10 incite men to strain every nerve for
the perpetuity Of tho Inheritance left us by our
Revolutionary sires : While our fellow.citi'

This combination of medicines was first prepared by
the proprietor in 1925 when he pronounced by
three eminent physicians in Southern city as in an

charge of active professional duties Their good eff
fects upon others created such demand for them
he was compelled to deSst from supplying them gra
itously.
