PREAMBLE:
The citizens Of Western Washington
Territory In convention assembled for
the parpose of devising ways and means
70 nd or Territory from the prese nee
OF the Chinese, declare the following
principles and resolutions a. our senti-
ments:
IL is the duty OF our citizens to or.
Ranizs themselves for the sx xpulsion of.
and protection against the Invasion and
the presence Of elements foreign to the
principles Of the laws of existence, of
| self protection, of mutual good govern
mens and its aim and results. our inji=
vidual and collective welfare aud hap
piBess. We are guided by the follow.
ing principles, which We submit for the
oain, impartial consideration Of all
concerned.
Life's highest gain is individual hap
piness; the duty of true and Just gov
eminent is to promste the same; to Gre
ate, dispense aad promote the greatest
good 10 the greatest number. Where
governments are formed they are and
ought 20 be q mutual contract for equal
rights, equal burdens and equal justice
TO all, thereby promoting the welfare
and happiness Of all its members. No
government can be Just where elements
are permitted to exist which by their
nature are not fully responsible 70 all
duties OF citizenship and whose produe-
tions dow not Ia collective fund to en-.
rich the commonwealth with their pro.
ductiveness, and assist the came With
their full, true and loyal support. These
principles are most grossly violated
when elements are introduced in the
body politio which, while they share
the full rights, benefits and pro
teetion Of the government with
the rsst Of The oitissus, are not in sym
pathy and aocord with the same; Who
do not contribute, morally and hnan-
cially, to its support and maintenanss.
such 10 the condition of all serfs in
ported into this country, and especially |
the coolie laborsrs Of this coast, Who |
are ssrfs, and are moi, and never will be, |
in any respect oiti5ens Of our country; |
with no desirU to build, support and
maintain cur Govsrnment, our public |
and privste institutions, they become |
factors 10 our institutions, conducive Of |
conditions which are positively and /
absolutely ia every respect in direct op- |
position with every principle of true /
republican democratic govern ment, are |
IN opposition With every Law Of politi- |
cal economy, and are opposed to our |
homes, families. health, decency and |
morality; deroGativs 70 our wealth pro-
ducers and iaboSers, appearing nothing |
less than public nuisancee, which an
taQonixs every Law underlying the pro-
Government. Believing these facts iu |
all their bearings TO be by experience |
established as undispatable truths, We
call on our citizens to adopt such rules
and measures a. are best adapted to /
bring about the abroRation of the Bar
lingame treaty, BY which the Chinese
are permitted TO ceme and remain here,
and 10 use all lawful means to rid our
country of their presence.
Resolved, That the present excited /
state Of the people on this coast, and /
the depressed crpdition Of industries /
and commerce, are due to and directly /
trscsabls 10 the persistent refusal Of |
Congress TO legislate In the interest of
the people.
Resolved, That IL is our firm and |
steadfast resolution to rid our Terri /
tory, and IL possible the United States,
from the presence Of Chinese slave |
labor. We call upon all citizens to aid |
and assist rs in this great and import

Der l, 1885. These delegates shall call q |

the reports Of said committees on No
