Let all the world take noticed The Demoeraey '

address of their Committee is published in the

period justi6es official speech from Fowler,
IN order that"the voice Of Washington Territory
may be clearly aud unmistakably understood on
The momentous (why didn't he say momentious, ,
since the period is porteutious?) issues now
agiiating the Unionl" The one particular thing
which, in Fowler's estimation, makes the period
sO"portentious' and the issues sO''momeutous -
is that, regardless Of the ''organic act" of the
great Territory of ofWashington, which ''opened
the public lands to ,rhae settlement" the Con-
gress of the United States has irreverently, per-
versely, feloniously and with malice forethonght
"deprived US of our privileges, withonI our con-
sent, aud against onr will, and forced negro
suffrage upon us. - To the end that ths nefarious
peryerse, felonious, aud irreverent Congressional

We conjure Congress to take notice OF this
