ANOTHER New STATE.-An election was
held in Washington Territory few days ago
for members of Constitutional Convention,
which is to assemble at Walla Walla, June
IL. The Territory is fred with an ambition
to enter the Union, but the result of the late
election does not afford much encourage
ment. The number of votes polled was only
about ten thousand, which hardly justiies the
claim that the Territory has a population OF
seventy thousand. There are various reasons
for believing that the vote was full one, and
in consideration of the fact that the popula.
ton of the Territory is largely composed of
men, it indicates not more than fifty or at
most sixty thousand people, and that won't
do for n new State.
