The Democracy Moving.

nomination Of a candidate for councilman
to represent, in the legislature, those coun-
ties at the approaching session of the legis-
lative assembly.
The only necessity Of calling attention
to the notice alluded to, is to remind the
democracy Of Thurston, Pierce and other
counties which have taken steps for mutual
organization, that the democracy of the
north in this Territory "slumbereth not,
neither doth it sleep" but on the contrary
that II is vigilant, active and discreet"
In the controversy before u.s. all should
see who can best agree in the nomination
and support of men who will carry out, in
practice and precept, those great republ-
can landmarks, the supremacy of which
must ever present themselves as dividing
ridge between the party Of labor, progress,
equal and exact justice-demoracy-againsl
thepower ofincorporations derived through
the instrumentality of wealth, protected,
encouraged and fostered by special legisla-
tlon, corruption, tyrrany, federalism-aris-
tOeray. ...
1t is q pleasant reflection, that thus far
in the history Of the Pacific coast, ALL are
about on an equality. A man of wealth
is either required to pay an adequate re-
ward for labor, or resort TO the glorious
privilege Of performing the labor himself.
Here we have no banks--no corporate dis
eliminating privileges common to whig su-
premacy in the States, to grind the poor
to powder, and endow mole-hil Of wealth
into mountain Of avarice and oppression

tiers which surround us, hold out their
hands to labor-all Observation-Disclosures

corporate advantages, 10 acquire an undue
influence over those who engage in either.
The democracy - the toiling million,
through their representatives, is the party
which must be looked to, to mould our
Territory into democratic features when it
becomes q State, and the following article
from the Minnesota Democrat is worthy Of
an attentive perpsal, as on the eve Of the
approaching sleetion i is important that
the farmers, meehanies and laborers Of our
Territory shonld not mistake the substance
Of the articles. fn6enlires and motives Of
the democratic faith, for the sladOsO Of

fatal hook of federalism. Let the bone

they touch not-taste not, nor even ni66ls

THE TonINo MILLIoN.-Start not reader,
for we are not going to write homily up
on this old and hackneyed subject for in
Minnesota it were useless expenditure Of
ink and paper, as here the laboring man
feels and knows his true position-feels and
appreciates his freedom from those chains
with which wealth has bound the limbs Of
companions In toll in the old and densely
populated States, and to escape which be
has torn himself from the home of his
childhood, with us thonsand endearlng as
sociations, and come hither that he might
aid in the moulding of State, where he,
and bis children after him, could live with

PEELED, by circumstances, to throw away
his manhood for the privilege ~ Of obtain
