Mass Meeting at Judge Yantis
-Disafe -Ostensible, vs.
Real cause,
In pursuance Of the action Of meeting
held at the house Of Mr.. Nathan Eaton,
(Chambers' prairie), composed of members
Of both political parties, this is The day GIed
upon for the holding Of mass meeting, at
the house of Judge Yantis, (gravelly Prai-
rie), for the purpose Of forming and nomi-
mating a union ticket for members of the
legislative assembly.
The announcement, indicating such q
gathering, contained in our last issue, we
did not deem of sufficient importance 10 re-
quire notice, believing that any transactions
resulting thsrefrom, would be disregarded
alike BY The thinking and judicious mem
bers of both parties and we still hold to
the opinion that the bona fids democracy
will manfully resist at the Threshold, any
effort TO break down the organization of the
democracy Of this county.
But as the effort alluded 10 appears 10 be
gathering TO head, and is assuming some
thing ike tangible shape, with seeming
threatening to break up the organization of
both parties, we will present matters in
their true light as far as The democracy is
concerned, with such comments as exigen-
cies may seem to require. And we here
assert that the democratic convention, as
sembled at Olympia on the 18th ult., for
the nomination of legislative officers, was
the larges. political gathering ever held in
Thurston county = that nominations were
duly made and we assume that ii is no less
the province than duty of all good demo-
erals those who desire 10 maintain The
integrity of the party, not only 10 stand
boldly up and sustain the nominees, but 10
discountenance anything like disloyaliy or
rebellion 10 the expressed decision Of thai
convention.
And what arc the grounds of objection 10
the action OF the convention, advanced by
those who are now dissenlers from its de-
cision ? five are correctly informed, but
two positions have been assumed by them
in opposition, viz: Isl, That the distribu.
ton Of the representatives, throughout the
county, is unfair and ID, That tho nomi-
nees are all fast friends to Olympia and its
interests! Marvellously wcighty objections
indeed What pity it is that We are not
allowed representative from every quar-.
Ter section Of land in the county! But any
excuse, no matter how miserable, will serve
the purpose of the disaffected, and they are
welcome 10 all the capital they can manu-
faciure from Tho foregoing. But how
stands the easa? Two Of the largest Or
gahizod precincts in the county, containing
probably more voters than all the balance,
have each been allowed councilman aud
representative = Ahc other representatives
being designaiedin apnO iie directions, from
iocalhies u;ar DE boun laIies Of ile couaty.

D' In the proposals for carrying the
mails, 10 be found on our fourth page, it
will be perceived that the contractor will be
required to make the trip from Rainier to
Olympia-95 miles-in one day, and back
tho next, and we would remark such On ar.
rangement at present would be entirely out
Of the question, and no bids will bs offered
for the contract, as it now takes tro days 10
make the trip from Cowliiz Landing TO
Olympia, distance of only co miles.
We apprehend there must be some mis-
lake about the matter which requires an
explanation.

Candidates before The Contention.

States.
Candidates before the Convention.
1t is with feelings of unf.igned pleasure
that we are called upon 10 record the hon.
orable and high-minded course pursued in
the recent Territorial convention, not only
by the successful competitor, but by Col.
J. PATTON ANDERSON, DR.. JomN NJ. HADEN,
and +, A. CHENowETH, Esq, prominent
before that body as candidates for the dele
gateship. All came forward, and on the
common altar of democracy manfully pledg-
ed themselves 10 abide the decision of the
convention, and standing aloof from all par
iicipaIion, with quiet disintcresledness, sub
miIled the issue with their friends. And
when the result was made known, and CO.
LUMBIA LANCASTER was declared the
nominee, they all came forward and re-
newed their plighted faith with the assur-
ance that they would use all honorable
means within their power to secure his
election. The delegates too, the respective
friends of these gentlemen, we are informed,
conducted themselves in manner worthy
to be the representatives of the people
the democracy-in their behalf. None Of
the trickster politician was displayed-no
undue advantage sought, but the utmost pro-
priety and fair dealing distinguished them
throughout.
Three more high.toncd gentlemen than
those referred TO, never had an abiding place
on the Pacif, coast We say this without
an attempt at aduldiion, but merely speak
the sentiments of all who know them.
The following, which We extract from the
"Oregon Statesman of December 29th,
relative to Col. ANDERSON, comes from au.
thority too high to b. questioned, and we
cannot conceive that higher compliment
could have been paid him:
CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATE FROM WASH
INcToN.--We notice by the Pioneer that
Col. J. Patton Anderson, the present Mar
shal of the Territory, is spoken Of in con-
nection with the democratic nomination for
delegate to Congress from the neighboling
Territory Of Washington. Gen. Lane men,

Mr.. Pierce's Secretary Of War, paid Mr..
Anderson in conversation with him, Gen.
Lane) Gen. Davis said he was one of the
best democrats, most worthy and promising
Young men in the State OF Mississippi"
10 illustrate the confidence Of the dele
gates from Pierce in DR.. J. NJ. HADEN, it is
only necessary 10 refer to tho fact, that
they stuck TO their candidate as Indiana
did to Gen. Lane, al the late Baltimore
convention-until the nomination was de-
clared. And to show the respect and kind
feeling entertained for him by the nom
commissioned officers and soldiers at Fort
Sleilacoom, by reference 10 another COL
umn it will be perceived, that on his be-
ing relieved from the post of Surgeon,
position which no has occupied for the
last four years, he was presented with tes-
timonial of the regard and esteem enter
Iained for him by them, signed by every
member of the command. Such evidence
of confidence and esteem will be Opprecia-
ted everywhere, and We hope. that the high
est honors are sill in store for all the gen.
,lemcn alluded to.

The MNrnanHas

The rise, progress, and present state of
Mormonism is undoubtedly the most re-
markable moral phenomenon of the nine
teenth century. The decline Of Mahomet
ism in the East is marked BY the rise Of a
new and more absurd religion in the mod
ell Republic of the Western World 1t is
one of those excrescenees growing on the
body of freedom like a fungus on a tree,or
a tumour on the human system. The boas-
ted learning and intelligence of this philo-
sophie age are sadly at variance with this
exhibition Of credulous ignorance and sac
religious presumption. We are told in the
testimony, which we recently published,
that there are in Great Britain about sixty
thousand, and at Utah about fifty thousand
OF people who belong to this singular sect.
There are not less than forty thousand more
who are scattered over Iowa, Missouri, Hi
nos, Wisconsin and other Western States.
making together about one hundred and
fifty thousand people belonging to this new
and novel religious denomination. The a.
vowalof polygamy as one Of the doctrines of
whiI7taes'r Us seem TO have had no effect
this, too, in this ape the infatuation, and
edge, and civilization. We confess tnar
we are puzzled to understand this matter.
The founder of Mormonism was an litter
ate adventurerand the master-spirits of the
present day are little better. They have
grated upon their system a most licentious
feature, and yet converts continue to pour
in, and these, too, from the industrious,
thriving, and, generally speaking, moral
portion Of the population. Thurlow Weed
recently stated that it is only about twen-
ty-eight years since Joe Smith, the founder
and first prophet Of this sect, brought his
table or bible to him to have printed, which
on examination, was found 50 absurd and
ridiculous that he declined having anything
to do with the publication. This absurd
lty has nevertheless an Importance as I'M
expected as it is astonishing. What the
end will be no man can TELL The timeis not
distant when the population Of Utah will
be sufficient to authorize the admission of
that territory into the Union as a State
Then the whole subject will come up for
discussion before Congress, and Mormon
ism, in all its phases, will be fully proved
and investigated. Here will be another
opportunity to test the principle of the
right of the people of the territories to Sc
lect and legalize the local institutions I'M
der which they are to live. There is moth
ing to prevent community which reeog-
Misses polygamy, and yet adopts republi-
can form Of government from being admit
ted as one of the States of this Union
We have already heard the opinion ex-
pressed in advance that Utah ought not
to be admitted as a member of the Union
with that odious feature Of domestic policy
But we are not aware that the objection is
valid, or could be reconciled with the great
cardinal principal which admits the people
the right Of self-government. The ques-
ton is one one that, at no distant day Twin
have to be met and decided Louisville
