Of that aid so essential to our Territorial pros
perity and advancement. The Union party
has the Administration Of the Government in
all its departments, two-thir'ls Of the next
Congress are uncompromisng Union men.
Is it to be supposed that your Delegate will
succeed, if his success but builds up the par
~ who sympathizes with the enemies Of the
Union and libertyl
Let me. therefore, again urge that we unite
as one man to elect Delegate who will, by
his unqualified support Of the Government
and Administration, have the good will and
sympathy of the Administration and the Con-
gress of the United States. In order to nc.
complish this. let meetings be held in each
county as early as the LIST to the goth Of
March. for the purpose Of appointing dele
gates to the Convention to lie held at Claqua-
to, on the 4th day of April next, and endeav-
or to appoint such men as will attend the Con.
ven,ion in person. Let us have fair repre-
scntation. The method adopted by former
conventions is not fair, where one man holds
in bis hand proxy votes enough to control the
action Of the convention. it gives just ground
for complaint Where each aspirant for the
nomination sees that the ballots have been
cast by delegates in person, they will b. salts
fed but if they see the convention controlled
by one man, who may happen to hold in his
hand proxies enough to give the nomination
to his particular friend, they will not be salts
fed, and will not work with good will.
Where two or more counties are united in one
representative district. they can. if they prefer
it, send one delegate from each county. who
will he entitled to seat and to cast the frac.
tional vote for his county.

Chairman ofMe Union Cen. Committee.
