lar nominees as opposed 10 whiggcry, and
we now put the question direct TO every

fer the election Of whig, If thereby yon
could succeed in defeating the election of
one of our candidates for either branch
of the legislative assembly, We must start
right at our first election if we would main
tain the supremacy and PerPetuity Of dem
ocratc principles in our new territory, and
how can that be done if we have dissen-
lions in our ranks' "Divide and conquer "
has ever been the walchword of the opposi'
lion, and they secretly hope partially to
succeed in the present instance. Remem-
Der that this very day the whig party Of
Thurion meet in convention at Olympia
nominate their candidates, and complete
their organization. "United we stand

suit of the convention, we predicted in ad-
vance, but let US look for a moment atihe
