The c1rusStrcss q the committee IL U--frC
early organization by precinct comfy aud dis
tricimcelings, has beea deepened by tbs fol-
lowing facts
The pCrtentous period through which our
country is now passing, justifcs Ms in briefly
addressing you. Let US so act that the voice
of Washington Territory may oe clearly and
unmistakably understood on the momen;ous
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-
tivcs from the ten excluded States, upon equal
terms with the twenty-six States now repre-
scented in Congress; all who sustain the re S.
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 subvcrt its independence; all
who believe that the Constitution of the Uni
ted States and uniform usage since its adop-
tion have vested in the St,tc and Terri
tories the right to define the elective franchise
within their respective limits in q word, all
regardless Of political antcccdents, who are
opposed to radicalism eliminating in revolu-
tion who coyet Union rather than disunion,
peace rather than war, harmony rather than
discord, stability of institutions rather than
anarchy, let your voice be heard. Citizens of
Washington Territory! Are you prepared to
submit without protest to that ndignity,
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
electors, and opened the public lands to white
settlement. After fourteen years acceptance
Of these fundamental laws, without offcnse on
our 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 aud col.
ors to vote in our Territory, and settle in our
midst. Those who favor repeal of such OPP
pressive Congressional Legislation, come for
ward now, and let your voice be heard in earn
est protest against such interference in our
affairs. e. s. FOWLER,
Chairman Committee

~ Our attention has been called
to the fact that Deacon Biglow is out
in another manifesto in our neigh

the trouble to read it, but presume it
is made up Of the usual rehash Will,
which the people arc RECALLED semi
annually by the Deacon. Wonder

SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 2, 1867
The Issue.

In view of the approaching can
vass, and in connection with the
call for a Territorial Convention, it
is time that the attention Of the peo-
pie should be- called to the issues
which are before them. AS these
issues all spring directly from the
question of Restoration, it is consid-
cred sufficient to state the tunda-
mental principles which we hold
should be applied to the settlement
of all questions concerning the pow
ers Of the General Government, or
the rights Of the States and their
Federal relations. Assuming that
lne IsIe war was no; wagcd agains,

Southern Reconstruction.

The Convention elections in North and South
Carolina commenced yesterday. The polls re-
main open two day.. The Charleston Mercury
declares that inasmuch as the whites cannot
possibly coutrol the election, it is the duty OF
every South Caronian to abs,rt himself from
the polls and treat the election az they intend
to make it--as a nullity, and the returns re-
ceiyed render it probable that this advice has
been followed. 10 North Carolina there Is
some Radical strength among the white popu-
la,ion, and it is probable that the State will
vote for Convention The Alabama State
Convention has adopted the majority report CD
the franchise question, which is as follows:
EVERY male citizen of the United States
and every mule person who has legally declared
his intention to become citizen Of the United
States, twenty-one years old or upward who
shall have resided in this State six months
next preceding the election, and three months
in the county in which he offers to vote shall
be deemed an eector provided, that no soldier,
sailor or marine in the military or naval service
of The United States shall hereafter acquire q
residence by reason of being stationed on daty
in this State.
The following persons shall not be permitted
to register, vote or hold Office
ii. Those who, during the late rebellion, In
HicteJ, or caused to be inflicted, any cruel or
unusual punishment upon any soldier, sal or,
marine, employee citizen OF the United
States, or who, in any other way, violated the
rules Of civilized warfare.
"2. Those who shall have been convicted Of
treason, embezzemant of public funds, NAL
feasance in office, crime punishable by law with
Imprisonment in the pentcn!iary or bribery
''3. Those who, having been registered IN
accordance with tue provisions OF all act OF
Congress, entitled An act to provide Tor the
more efficient government of the Rebel S tates,

Conservative Ward Meeting.

At meeting of the Conservative voters of
the First Ward, held at No. 81 Prince street,
last night, Hugh Latham was called to the
Chair, and Orlando Wood appointed Secretary.
Mr.. Latham on taking the Chair rendered
his thanks for the honor conferred, and stated
the object Of the meeting to be to appoint dele
gates to meet in Richmond, on the llLh Of next
month. He advised prudence and circumspcc
ton, and said that we have willy and unscrup-
ulous party to contend with. When party is
base enough to operate outside Of the Constltu-
