Register! Register !!

The Norfolk Nrginian says:
"Just now the most important word In the
whole political dictionary is REGISTER. Its
meaning involves the preservation OF every rlgn1
and liberty we may hope to save from the gen.
eral wreck.
1t is necessary to register to be qualified to
vote. All who can should qualify themselves
for voting. In the first place they will be called
upon to vote for or against Convention. and
at the same time for delegates to the Conven-
ton, so that, in the event the Convention be
called, they may be properly represented in that
body. Then they will be called upon to vote
for the ratification and rejection Of the Consti-
tuition adopted by the Convention. Those who
may not feel disposed to vote at the first elec-
ton may be very anxious to vote at the second,
and unless they register they will not be able to
do so. The first duty is to register

Reconstruction.

Under this heading, the Richmond Enanain-
ey makes some sensible remarks with reference
to the propriety Of registering, It says:
A man may very well take the necessary steps
to insure his right of suffrage without ever de-
signing to exercise it. He may resolve also to
exercise it, without at this time determining
whether he will vote for or against convention
much less for what particular candidate he
shall cast his ballot. And although conven-
ton be agreed on, he may very well reserve the
question what action he shall take on consti-
tution the provisions of which no living man
can foresee Many reasons eonspire to commend
the application to our case of the maxina, make
haste slowly" and chief among them is the
very manifest reaction that Ia taking place at
the North. At present, the people of the South
have but one matter connected with reconstruc-
ton to consider, and that is the propriety of
registering.
Every citizen. old end young, who is qualified
should register, who is eatitlea by leave of our
masters to that privilege. Register, and you
are free to vote or not as you please, and have
the further, the great freedom, as time will show,
to use your power ao]ten you desire to use it.
Refuse to register, and you can never help your
self, your friends CT yoHr State The time is
coming in the progress of this revolution, When
the solid vote of the respectable people Of this
State may throw ON Congress the responsibility
Of Q perpetual military government, or practical
disffanehiseaaeat for Virginia When that day
comes, every voice and vote viii be needed but
that is question of the future Suffice il for
the present to say, that without registry you
are as i42patent as the dogs at your doors to
strike blow for fnsadom here, or help the
friends who are battling for your freedom else
where Surely no demand Of right or honor
calls for so fatal sacrifice.
