b6~ We are informed by Col. l. n. EBEY,
Collector Of Customs for the District Of
Puget Sound, that he has received orders
from the proper Department at Washing
ton for the removal Of the Custom House
at his earliest convenience, from Olympia
to Port Townsend. This is change very
desirable and necessary for the accommoda-
tion of foreign shipping, as 1t will save
owners Of vessels from foreign ports, the
necessity Of an inland sea navigation Of
over one hundred miles, in order to reach
this place, exhibit their maniiests and get
their elearances, when frequently those yes
sells have no business further up the Straits
and Sound than Victoria, Vancouvcr's
Island, Fl. Nisqually, &c. Weunderstand
that provision has been made by the Gov
erlpent for the erection Of Custom House
at Port Townsend, and as soon as the Rev
enue Cutter "Jeff. Davis" which is ex-
pected upon the waters Of the Sound with
in few weeks, to be placed under the di-
rection of the Collector, it is anticipated
that less difficulty will arise with regard to
the prompt collection of revenue-the ad'
vantages by which foreign shipping will be
subserved, and the more cfectual suppress
sion of difficulties likely to arise between
the Indian and white population within our
Territory, be the consequence.

Our Water Front Extension.

The flats north of Olympia, of which
mention was made two weeks ago, as hav-
ing been taken possession of by Mr.. Ed
WARD GTDDINGs, jr., as land claim, and
improvements in the way of pile driving,
with reference to the making of wharf to
deep water commenced, we are gratifed to
see is progressing with vigor, with a view
to speedy completion.
Already about three hundred feet, in
distance, of piles have been driven, and the
work of Gaping and planking progressing.
The power used for the construction of the
wharf is capable Of driving fully twenty
piles per day, and some fifteen or twenty
houses, we learn, will be erected as soon as
circumstances will permit, by capitalists in
California and elsewhere. That Mr.. Gid
dingS 1ciH succeed in the completion of the
wharf to a point where the largest mer-
chant vessel can safely moor, there can be
no question, and that the project will, in
due time, be consummated, none will deny.
Mr.. Giddings and the class Of men engaged
in the undertaking, are Of the proper stamp
to carry out their object.

WING County Convention.


The Wing party Of Thurston county met
in Olympia on Saturday last, and made the
nomination of their ticket for popular suf-
frage at the approaching September cleo
ton An organization was effected under
the auspices of c. c. HEwETT, Esq, as
President, and DR.. G. A. LArIIRoP as Sec
retary. Inasmuch as We desire that the
people generally should be advised how
much respect was entertained by the con-
vention for the expression of the voice OF
the several precincts in making selection
of candidates, we will take the liberty to
observe, that ont of nine precincts, there
were four from which there were no repre-
scntatives that the committee appointed
to determine the proportionate numerical
strength of each precinct, as entitled to n
voice in the convention, decided that, al
lowing that ten residents of the county
should be allowed one vote by delegate,
introduced recommendation, which was
adopted, that Olympia precinct should cast
ten votes, and all the balance of the county
be represented by but ten-tteenty being the
sum total of the delegation-thus making
Olympia precinct equal in Importance and
consideration to all the county of Thurston.
Whether or not there is anything like
equality about this manner of procedure
in political affairs, we will leave for the con-
sideration of the masses of all parties. The
question of whether "Paris is France" as
far as the relation of town and county are
concerned in this new Territory, is one
which might as well be determined at the
approaching election as at any other time,
and we hope the democracy are ready for
the issue
PersondHy-we have not, nor ne, er could
be induced to urge on objection against any
Of the candidates chosen by the Wing Con-
vention, but, polieaiiy VIC are opposed to
any such unjust arrangements as char
acterized the action Of the opposition party
on the occasion referred to, and would for
ever war against the principles which begot
federalism and now incite their descendants
and warm them into political activity.
The following list of candidates is the
result of the ratification meeting" which
the party from the country have been called
upon to sanction, and in the nomination OF
which, few of them have had any instru-
mentality, and over which, according to the
terms of the convention, they could exercise
no control. We ask, the farmers, me-
chanics and laboring men to ponder well
upon the axiom, whether it is not more
easily to guard the threshold than the
altar" and whether it is not better to nip
faction in the bud than overcome it in a
monster of power and corruption-in read
mess to subvert their liberties, enchain their
limbs and trample on their rights as freemen

Tho Democracy.


This being the day appointed for the
meeting of the Democratic Convention to
make nominations of Legislative and county
officers for Thurston County, we presume
that we would not be retailing any imteili-
gence in remarking that every precinct in
the county has held their primary meet
ings and made selection Of Delegates to
express the will of the party in this county,
in denomination of candidates which they
are about to make Having no desire, in any
way, to dictate, influence or instruct the
several delegation in the performance of
the duties before them, we are content,
simply, to register their names as they have
been furnished, and hope, for the general
good, that when the "roll is called" all may
answer to their names, and pledge to each
other an unyielding devotedness in the
faithful performance of their trusts, as they
might expect, from a neglect thereof, to be
answerable to the tribunal of the party in
the future political history of the Territory.
According to the terms of the primary
meetings, the following persons have been
selected Delegates from the precincts emu
merated, as follows:
OLYMPIA PREcINT-Wm. Ruiledge, c.

We received by the last mail from Hon.
Columbia Lancaster, copies of official let
ters addressed to him through the Post
Office Department creating the following
new Post Offices and appointing the Post
Masters below named
Henry G. Morse, p NJ. at Columbia
City. Morris H. Frost, p. M. at Stella

pia. A new Post Office has been establish
ed at Castle Rock in the County of Lewis

another has been established at Tarlitt in
Pacific county-Thomas Martin as P. NJ.
The following is an extract OF letter
from Judge Lancaster, dated Washington
City, June sth.
"The Congress and the whole country
are still under the greatest possible excite
ment in relation to the agitation of the
Slavery question, and the trial Of a fugitive
slave lately, in Boston. These great and
absorbing questions seem to swallow oil
others up, and renders it doubtful about
obtaining much legislation for Washington
Territory this Session. 1t seems as though
the fates were against us, and no help at
hand. Commotion at home, war all over
Europe, and the secret plotting against
Cuba, take thought and interest away from
Territorial Legislation"

DB- Wei been favored with speci-
men of Coal from Seattle, WI We have
not as yet attempted to burn it, but it has
the appearance Of good Coal and is said to
be superior to any discovered at Bellingham
Bay. The brig" Harriet Thompson" has
taken on board about 800 tons, and other
vessels are loading with it. The bed is
said to be Of great extent Portland
( OregOn) Standard.
All men of intelligence, who know the
resources of Washington Territory for coal,
agree that we have an abundance within
our limits to supply oil needful present and
immediate prospective purposes for the
manufacture Of steam, &c. The only rea-
son which can be adduccd for the necessity
Of importing the article, is to be found in
the fact that capitalists are somewhat
wary of investing their means in making
suitable initiatory preparations for engag-
ing in the getting Of it out on a sufficiently
extensive scale for progress in the future.
The coal at Bellingham and Duwamish
Bays has been pronounced by competent
Judges to be Of an excellent quality, and
it but requires properly directed capital
and labor to forever put quietus on its
introduction from the Atlantic side. Both
the places above referred to, independent
of their coal resources, are destined to oc-
cupy important positions in the future des-
tiny Of the Sound and Territory. Seattle,
situated on the north side Of Duwamish
Bay, is improving rapidly, and the country
around it settling up with hardy and in
dustrlous population. Whatcom, Belling-
ham Bay, is in the immediate vicinity Of
one of the most magnificent water powers
in any country, on which there is erected
an excellent saw mill and when manufac-
turers once commence operations on the
coast, with the coal and timber resources
which surround it, will necessarily make
the Bay place of vast Importance,
Gov Stevens, before his departure east,
made reconnaissance Of Bellingham Bay,
amongst others, to determine its practica-
bility as a depot for the western terminus
Of. the Northern Pacific Railway, upon its
construction to our shores, whenever that
day should arrive, and understand was
favOrably impressed with its entire adapta-
tion for that purpose, from its cOntiguity
with the sno-quakme pass Of the Cascade
mountains.

sufficient encouragement to justify the haz-

beeh subscribed some $4,000 of reliable
stock capital, and that there was but little
doubt but that the Major Tompkins "
