December, 1867, and appointed an executive | the constitution framed by the late convention committee to organize the counties and cities of in Richmond as may be separately submitted, the State with a view to consolidate the strength of the conservative party;

And whereas the State executive committee and city and county superintendents did in the month of May, 1868, meet in this city and nominate a State ticket for the suffrage of the people;

And whereas said executive committee and superintendents have again assembled to consider the present state of affairs, and each candidate, with patriotic desire to promote the prosperity and welfare of the State, has resigned his candidacy: Now, therefore, be it

and to that end, as well as to secure the election of proper persons to the legislature, the organizations already in existence are exhorted to increased activity, and in those localities where no organizations have been formed the people are earnestly requested to meet together and adopt measures for the purpose of preventing the incorporation of such iniquities in the organic law of the State.

3. That this convention, while expressing its hostility to the leading and general features of said constitution, and while urging the necessity of organization for the purpose of defeating such provisions as may be submitted separately, deex-clines to make any recommendation to the conservative voters of the State as to their suffrages upon the constitution expurgated of said provisions, or as to the candidates that may be before the people, feeling well assured that their good sense and patriotism will lead them to such results as will best subserve the true and substantial interests of the Commonwealth.

Resolved, That this meeting accepts the said resignations of said candidates, and hereby presses its high appreciation of their devotion to the best interests of the State, and of their zeal and ability in the discharge of those duties which their candidacy imposed on them.

2. That notwithstanding the accepted resignations of our nominees, the conservative voters of the State are urged to organize for the purpose of defeating such obnoxious provisions of

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

Republican.

Resolved, That the principles of the Republican party, as declared by the last National Republican convention at Chicago, meet with our hearty approval, and adherence thereto by the national, State, and territorial legislatures, will secure the peace and prosperity of our country.

power, is inconsistent with the express provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and is subversive of the fundamental ideas of our Government and of civil liberty; and the object for which this great wrong has been persisted in, as now being disclosed to the people of this country and to the world, to-wit, to subject the white people of these States to the absolute supremacy, in their local governments and in their representation in the Senate and House of Rep- 2. That we recognize the great principles laid resentatives, of the black race, just emerged from down in the immortal Declaration of Independpersonal servitude, is abhorrent to the civiliza-ence as the true foundation of democratic govtion of mankind, and involves us and the people of the northern States, in consequence of surrendering one-third of the Senate and one-quarter of the House of Representatives, which are to legislate over us, to the dominion of an organized class of emancipated slaves, who are without any of the training, habits, or traditions of self-government.

5. This convention, for the people of Virginia, doth declare that they disclaim all hostility to the black population; that they sincerely desire to see them advance in intelligence and national prosperity, and are willing to extend to them a liberal and generous protection. But that while, in the opinion of this convention, any constitution of Virginia ought to make all men equal before the law, and should protect the liberty and property of all, yet this convention doth distinctly declare, that the governments of the States and of the Union were formed by white men, to be subject to their control; and that the suffrage should still be so regulated by the States as to continue the federal and State systems under the control and direction of the white

race.

6. That, in the opinion of this convention, the people of Virginia will sincerely co-operate with all men throughout the Union, of whatever name or party, who will labor to restore the constitutional union of the States, and to continue its government and those of the States under the control of the white race.

ernment, and we hail with gladness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil.

3. That we regard with great pride and satisfaction the accession of the wise, efficient, and victorious leader of the American army, General Grant, to the high and honorable position of President of the United States, and confidently rely upon the earnest co-operation of the different branches of the Government for the enactment and enforcement of such measures as shall secure the rights and liberty of every American citizen, upon principles of justice and equality, and that respect for the laws by the people that will insure the peace and progress of the entire country.

4. That the interests of Washington Territory can best be promoted by the election of an able Republican representative of our people as delegate to Congress, who will exert himself to obtain the fostering care and material aid of the general Government for our territory, and secure the just rights of each and all of our citizens, and who, as opportunity offers, will make known to the people of the States, by public addresses, the great advantages and inducements our territory presents to capital, and population.

5. That a system of internal improvements in our territory should receive the encouragement and support of the general Government, in order that our important resources may be developed and the prosperity of the country promoted.

white men, and that we are opposed to the extension of the elective franchise or citizenship to negroes, Indians, or Chinamen.

Among these internal improvements the construction of the Northern Pacific, Columbia River and Puget Sound, and Walla Walla and Columbia River railroads are of great and paramount 3. That the recent attempt on the part of the importance, and their early completion highly Radical party in Congress to disfranchise the necessary for the interests of not only this Terri-people of the Territory indicates a purpose in tory, but also those of the entire country.

6. That the nominee of this convention can, and by the hearty and united efforts of the Union Republican party will, be triumphantly elected, and to that end all personal preferences and prejudices should be waived for the general good, and the present as well as future success of the Republican party and its principles be thereby effectually maintained.

that party to destroy the liberties of the people. 4. That we are opposed to the proposed XVth amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

5. That the exclusion of any State from representation in Congress in time of peace is a dangerous assault upon the liberties of the people, in violation of the principles of our Union, and subversive of the rights of the Constitution.

6. That we are opposed to the present system of Government taxation, and are in favor of raising the necessary revenue for Government purposes by an ad valorem tax on the entire imports and property of the country.

7. That we favor the construction of railroads, the development of the vast resources of our Territory, and believe that Government should aid the construction of the same, and we acknowledge the important services rendered to our Territory in projecting the North Pacific railroad by the late I. I. Stevens.

After the message, a vote was taken upon the adoption of the proposed XVth amendment, with above result. The Speaker ruled, that for ordinary legisla tion the State constitution prescribes that two-thirds of the House (or 67 members present and answering to their names) constitutes a quorum, but it does not define what number of members, more than a simple majority of the legislature, shall be sufficient to act upon a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution. He therefore declared the resolution adopted.
