gress entitled an act for the more eff
cient government of the rebel States,"
passed March 2, 1867, and the acts supple
mentary thereto. have formed a constitu-
tlonal State government which is repub-
iican in form; and whereas, at an election
commencing on the 4sh day of Febru-
airy, 1868, large majority Of the legal
voters of said State voting at said cleo
ton voted for the adoption of said Con-
stitution; therefore
Be it enacted, de-, That the said State of
Alabama shall be entitled to representa-
ton in Congress as soon as the Legislature
Of said State, the members. of which were
elected at the election mentioned in the
preamble of this act, shall have duly rati-
fed the amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States proposed by the thirty
ninth Congress, and known as article four

ing General Of the military district in

bama shall be entitled to representation in

surely be the most important TO this
country that it has ever witnessed.
The principal issues are now fairly de
fined and well understood. The con-
test is for the preservation of what is
left of the Government established by
WASHINGTON and his eompatriots,
against the insane fanatics and thieves
who have full possession of the power
of the Federal and State Governments,
and who are using the places they &C.
cupy to strengthen themselves and
plunder the people. The battle
must be boldly fought by the Conserv-
ative masses who would save the Coun-
try and restore peace to distracted
people, overwhelmed by taxation, and
already deprived of many of the rights
they once enjoyed. To conduct this
contest intelfigently and successfully
all must understand the issues and the
arguments, and to obtain them, all
must read. Democratic papers must be
circulated everywhere. A Democratic
paper every week in the hands Of every
voter in the Union, would insure vic
tory in November, without parallel III
the annals of tho party. 1t is the duty
then, of all whe wish for the success of
the cause to circulate Democratic pa
pers. To facilitate this object the pub
fishers of the WHEELING REGISTER
now offer their large Weekly issue ut
the bare cost of printing, to Clubs for
the Campaign.
The WEEKLY REGISTER is the largest
paper issaed in this State, and contains
double the reading matter of any other.
In addition to the political information,
it contains all the current news of the
day, telegraphic news from all parts of
the world, markets, agricultural infor-
nation OF value, &c.
Our political friends who are about to
in primary meetings through
out this State for the appointment of
Delegates to the State Convention,
would do well to make, on these occa-
sions, special efforts for the circulation
of the REGISTER in their respective
neighborhoods. LEWIS BAKER y Co.
