The earnestncss of the committee in urging
early organization by precinct, county and dis
trict meetings, has been dcepencd by the fol-
lowing facts
The pCrtentous period through which our
country is now passing, justifes us in briefly
addressing you. Let US so act that the voice
of Washington Territory may oe clearly and
Enthusiastically understood on the mOmentous
issues now agitating the Union. All who love
the Union, who desire its immediate restora-
ton on the broad basis of the Constitution /;
all who favor the immediate admission to
Congress of loyal Senators and Representa-
tiyes from the ten excluded States, upon equal
terms with the twenty-sx States now repre-
scented in Congress all who sustain the res
toration policy of the National Administra-
ton all who hold in respect the decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United States, and
regard with alarm the recent threats of inn
parchment, of members of that solemn tribu-
nal, in order to subycrt its Independence all
who believe that the Constitution of the tn-
ted States and uniform usage since its ad0p-
ton have vested in the States and Terri
tories the right to define the elective franchise
within their respective limits in n word, all
regardless of political anteccdents, who are
opposed to radcalsm eliminating in revou-
ton, who coyct Union rather than dsunon,
peace rather than war, harmony rather than
anarchy, let your voice be heard. Citizens OF
Washington Territory Are you prepared to
submit without protest to that indignity,
which, while you willingly contribute your
taxes, though denied vote in Congress, even
takes away from you the privilege of con-
trolling your elective franchise Remember
that the acts organizing our Territory, and
inviting its settlement years ago, conferred the
express right to define the qualifications of
a pnI Ia, xr, 81. fa
settlement. After fourteen years acceptance
of these fundamental laws, without Offense on
Cur part, Congress has deprived us of those
privileges. Without our consent and against
our will, it has forced upon us negro Suffrage
and has opened the door for all races and col
ors to vote in our Territory, and settle in our
midst. Those who favor repeal of such OPP
pressivc Congressional Legislation, come for
ward now, and let your voice be heard in earn.
est protest against such interference in our
affairs. f. S. FOWLER,
Chairman Committee.

Remarkable Prediction,

All of our readers know w. ii. Holden,
editor of the Raleigh Standard, who, hav-
ING, in 1860, been fierce precipitator, is
now as fierce a Radical.
The following remarkable prediction,
bv this same Mr.. Holden, has been rcsur-
rected fitoin the rubbish of the past.
The Raleigh STANDARD, of the Goth of
April, 1850, contained the following cdi-
torial, in which is quoted this paragraphs:
The New Orleans Crescent: speaking OF
the othree Syt;thern Institutions says;
"It is worthy aparagrapl1 to reannounce
the fact that three very important South
ern institutions were simultaneously innu-
enrated, two hundred and tllirty-right
Years ago-if Bancroft, the historian, be
authority cn the snhicct. In the years
l62O-'21, slaves, and cotton vert 1lrst
introduced into the colony of Virginia; i'll
1921 the first written coloni;:l constitution
was ordained and established in Virginia"
The Mr. Holden ri that date then says:
"It is, indeed, arcnsrltl1le coincidence,
that the establishment OF these three s'ln
stitutions ns''-slavcfv, the cotton trade, and
constitutional statute-.the very basis of
the national prosperity of the South,
should have such chronological identity.
And VIC predict that as they were bo;n to-.
gethcr, so will they die, if die they ever
do. The slave labor will 60 as 1t came, a
few months in advance, and the crash OF
State Constitutions, of laws and statutes,
will follow quickly, hand in hand with the
downfall OF the cotton and ether agrlcul-
tural and commercial interests, introducing
the nation to an era of anarchy, of individ-
ual, social and political distresses. The
fact of mutual dependence, however, but
increases the stability of the whole, and
though It would render their destruction a
more disastrous totality, it at the same
time removes all danger OF such occur
renee"
Negro slavery and the Constitution have
gone down, in the order predicted, and
the latter branch of the prophecy is now
about to be fulfilled IT something be not
done Immediately to arrest Radlcallsm in
its mad career, that "era Of anarchy, lndl-
vidual, social and political distress, Will
speedily follow.

An Asylum For Useless Young
Men.

In every community thsre is & certain
percentage OF useless young men, whose
ultimate condition must excite the sympa-
thy and consideration of every philan.
thropist. What will become OF them?
We do not put the question as 10 their
future state, but how they will round off
their earthly existence They have no
visible means of support; still they hang
on, they vegetate, they keep above the
ground In certain liberal sense, they
may be said to live, move, and have
being They lounge in Offices, promenade
the streets, appear at-social amusements !;
play the gallant to good.hatured ladies,
and attend to the necessities of lapdogs.
Their more quiet and undemonstratite
life may be described as an intermittent
torpof, IN which meals; drinks and sleep
mark the changes. Their existence would
be mystery but for their certain rela-
tions to other substantial people known
famiiarly as spa," "ma," or "better half"
who are able 10 make provision for the
waste and protection OF their bodies in
the way of clothes and food,
Still, ought these tender young men to
be lett to. the chances of paternal or do
mcstic affection ? AL arc not equally
fortunate What shall we do with those
whose dependencies are so precarious?
They do hot admit of any utiitarian dis
position. fncannibal countries they could
be eaten as a substitute for veal; their
bodies would also make excellent fertili-
zers for sterile lands; but the prejudices
of Christian people would revolt at the
solution of the problem. A certain num-
Der could be employed as lay figures in
shop windows to exhibit clothes on. but
the tailors might not have confidence in
them. Most of them could color meer-
schaums, but this business would produce
little revenue. What, then, shall be doneY
Tho tax now falls upon a few, and 1T
ought to be distributed We propose,
therefore, q State Asylum for useless
young men. An institution of this kind
could be easily filled with those between
the ages of eighteen and thirty, who
should be grouped and associated togeth-
er, so that the rude jostling and friction
of the working world would not disturb
their delicate nerves. Here they could
cultivate mustaches, part their hair be:
hind, and practice attitudes. In this re-
sort, with little enforced exercise to keep
their circulation in healthy state, with
dolls to play with as a compensation for
the absence of ladies' society, these use-
less young men could be supported in
ease and comfort, and all the industrious
people would be willing to pay the ex-,
penses of this institution, rather than
bear the painful solicitude inr regard to the.
welfare Of these superauous members OF
society. When provision has been made
by the State for idiots, for the insane,
poor, aged, and crippled, is It'll not astound;
ing that asylums have never been erected
for still more helpless class Let this
philatthropic enterprise be started at once

European immigration.

General John A. Wagener, the Com
missioner 6f the Bureau for the encour-
agement of European immigration to this
State, has received q very hopeful letter
from Mr. M. Ferlow, one of the agents
sent by His Exccletcy Governor Orr to
Europe to advance the purposes and aims
Of the Bureau. In it he states that, in
compliance with the Instructions of Com
missioner ~Wagencr, he has had the
pamphlet, which was recently published
in this city and endorsed by meeting OF
our adopted citizens and foreign resi-
dents, translated into the Swedish and
Danish laiguages, and was busily. en-
gagged in it's distributions. as well as in
urging upon the clergy to place the mat
ter before the members Of their several
congregations He was also visiting diff
ferent localities, and addressing the 1peo-
ple!in reference to the advantages of this
State as a home for such of them aas-de-
sired to emigrate- to America. In his
efforts to discharge the objects CT his mis-
sion, MIR. Ferlow says that he has largely
been aided by the almost total failure of
the grain craps in the Scandinavian coun-
try, and the enhanced price of the cereals
resulting thcrefrom, which, added to the
hardships produced on the pensantry, by
their inability to obtain adequatg wages
for their labor, disposed many of them to
seek opportunities of coming to the Uni
ted States in search Of livelihood.
Numbers were now ready to leave and
were only detcrred fi'om so doing by the
lack of means for their transportation.
Not few of the iron merchants OF Swc-
den haze communicated with him for the
purpose OF ascertaining the prospect Of
opening direct trade with this city in
that article, and Mr.. .Fcrlow is Of opinion
