Amongst the numerous recent diStin-
guishcd arrivals which we have been called
upon to chronicle, there has been none to
whom we could give q more cordial well
come than to ex-Judge SrRoSo, who made
his appearance here on "Wednesday morn
ing last and, under the circumstances, we
think he is deserving of a more extended
notice than we have generally vCuChsafed
to others-particularly as we understand
that il is his intention to make tour of the
territory for the purpose of cndeavorihg to
gain permission to extend the same to
Washington City. We would therefore
take occasion thus publicly to introduce him
to all with whom he may be uuacquainted.
On bis winding way he will doubtless
meel with many upon whom, in days gone
by, he has levied fines for contempt Of court
for neglecting to attend as jurors, out Of
their jurisdiction, and forrother apparently
tyranical and undue usurpation of authority
And some persons may have the Presumn'
tion 10 interrogaie him about jurors fees
which have been accumulating, unPaidj dH-
ring the last four years. But what has The

From the Oregon Times, Dec. II.

racy of Thurston county have nobly came

clusTely that they "know no North no
South no East no West but that they
have ct heart the interests of the whole
Territory, and the success Of the Democra-
cy in the election Of Delegate.
To this proposal, no one claiming 10 be a
Democrat can Object. 50 far as We know;
the Southern portion Of that Territory rs
willing 10 meet at Cowlitz Landing, and il
is to be hoped and expected than a united
effort will be made on the part Of the De-

Whig Nominations.

The Wing party of 'rhursion county held
a convention at Olympia, on Saturday last
and nominated the following ticket for
members ofthe legislative assembly:
For the Couucl-B, +. IANTGS and E.
]. ALLEN.
For Representaiives-IRA WARD, G. II.
HALE, J. L. BRowN and G. HARTsoCK.
The same convention appointed delegates
80 attend a Territorial conversion, To- meet
at Olympis, on Monday next, for the Pur-
pose of nominating Wing candidate for
delegate to Congress.
The opposition in this part of The Terri
tory have done credt 10 themselves by
coming Out al once, and assuming its proper
name. We despise a warfare against an
adversary ambuscadsd behind fictitious titles,
and fighting under false coIors, and the
Wing party here has relieved US from that
embarrassment by divesting itself ofall dis
gusp, and boldly throwing down the glove
for honorable combat, They have merged
all names and isms into that of Wing, and
We now know exactly where to find them.
They have PrO6tad by the example of
humbuSgeFy furnished by their brethren in
Oregon-awarc that they could assume no
shape but that their 6shy oder would place
the watchful Democracy on thein track,
and hunt them 10 their native Watch-fres.
We trust the counties generally will follow
suit.
We shall not undertake this week TO can
vass the claims Of the Wing nominees as
compared with our own party. If the op-
position is satisfied with it, we are equally
so,-convinced that the whole ticket will be
defeated. Deserving as any of their cam
didatss may be, unfortunately for them,
they are on the wrong side of politics, and
can never be permitted to. fill the places
theiE friends desire 10 see them occupy
The Democracy have loo strong ticket to
be induced to split upon their enemy, and
the sOth Of January will tell the story of iI'
triumphant election.
