W. Goolell was called upon to address the
meeting, which call was complied with"
but in a manner not at all satisfactory, mas
much as he assured the meeting that he
had pledged his word TO support the wLig
nominees and it might have been added
that after the nominations were made, judge
Yantis was likewise called upon for an od-
dress which proved equally unfortunate in
meeting the appreciation of the convention,
and had tendency to cool the ardor of
those who called upon him.
The fact of the matter is, the demonstra-
ton was complete and unqualified fail
ure in every essential particular, and in the
most favorable light in which it can be view
cd, it could but be designated as very res
pectable and intelligent little caucus, as
somblcd 10 defeat the regular nominees and
dictate candidates for the support of the
people, with that object in view.
The representative ticket has beeR ar
ranged with considerable shrewdness-
heaviest in the centre--Messrs. Moore and
RoundIree serving as ballast. But all the
sharp-sighted cuteness displayed will fail to
steady the already sinking craft, or rescue
the fated parties from that shipwreck which
on Monday next will be proclaimed from
the ballot-box.
But the most unfortunate feature in the
whole affair, is, that the nominations, lex
cePt those on the regular tickets), have been
productive of more general dissatisfaction
than either those of the whg or democratic
parties. Six months hence, and those who
have been foremost in seeking disorgani-
zatiOn Of the democratic party will seriously
regret the course they have pursued, and
will refer to the matter but with shame and
reluctance.
The prospect Of the complete success OF
the democracy in this county, is infinitely
more favorable now than at any time since
the nominations were made, and il the
party win but stand firmly by the side Of
The regular nominees, and vote the pAolc
ticket, all coalitions and unnatural alliances
with Whiggery will be scattered 10 the four
winds on Monday next.

Mn. ED.ToR-Il is thought necessary BY
some Of MY fri,nds that should reply
through the medium of your paper 10 lhe
charges that are in circulation in Olympia
and elsewhere in the county in regard TO
myself The charges are, so far as have
been able 10 ascertain, as follows: lst.
That | have through clandes,iue means
procured nomination on the union ticket,
(bcing at the same time regular demo-
cratic nominee.) ID. That | am opposed
to Olympia. 81. That voted for Colum-
bIa Lancaster in the Territorial convention.
lth. That | was in the whig convention
held at Olympia, and heard Judge Strong
assert that he did not fine a juror, and
did not contradict him. This last charge
am informed is extensively circulated in the
country. But if it was my duty TO have
contradicted him, presume shall be par
doned for not having done so, when it is
taken into consideration that was at the
! Cowlitz Landing at the time, sixty miles
distant. The third charge, that | voted
for Columbia Lancaster, have already
publicly acknowledged, and in so doing
thought at the time, and still think, that |
was doing the best could for the party
and Territory. In regard to the second
charge, that l am opposed to Olympia, |
am at loss to conjecture upon what it is
founded. From the best information can
get it seems TO be founded on the inference
of certain individuals that | am opposed 10
Olympia because do not take the same
means to build ii up that they do. have
always endeavored to promote the prosperi-
ty Of the town, and if any act Of my life has
had different tendency or result, it has re-
suited differently from my wishes and in-
tentions. The first charge, namely, that ]
sought the nomination on the union ticket,
or used any means or efforts 10 get it, ut
terly and wholly deny. had no under,
standing with any man in the union con.
vcntion Of any kind whatever, and my
nomination was without my connvance,
request or expectation and no man who
was in the union convention, or elsewhere,
will or can contradict me in this statement.

SOMETHING NEw AND CoMMENDABLE.-
One of the most striking evidences of the
improvement in the moral atmosphere of
our salubrious town, is the organization of
a "Sawing Circle" by the energetic ladies
of the place. Unwilling that an embryo
city, and community so prosperous and
hourishing in other respects, should any
longer be destitute of suitable building in
which public worship might be conducted,
we understand that the ladies have deter
mined TO take the matter in hand, and in
tend with the proceeds of their own work,
(and such "material aid'' as the "sterner
sex" see Fl 10 bestow, 10 build neat, and
commodious church, for The accommodation
of all who think proper to attend. A more
commendable undertaking has not marked
the annals of Olympia's vigorous growth
and, like all other laudablo enterprises hav-
ing for their object the amelioraton of the
condition of mankind generally, this takes
its rise in the warm and philanthropic bo.

NO. Gov. STEVENS has just returned
from an excursion down the Sound, and ap-
pears 10 be favorable impressed with the
Improvements and "go.aheadativeness " Of
the people belonging 10 our northern por-
lion of the Territory. He has visited Van
couVer's Island, and tho Islands in the Ca
nal de AFRO, with view Of taking Ameri-
can ground, if necessary, in reference 10
the northern boundary of the United States
dominions on the Pacific, A census of the
numerical strength of the various Ind ian
tribes along the Sound he thinks can be OBJ
tanned with but little trouble, and with
very considerable accurateness. A propo-
sition for the purchase of their lands and
the total extinguishment of the Indian title
will be proposed 10 the government in due
season, as it is confidently expected with a
satisfactory result, and with an amicable and
equitable understanding,
With regard 10 his reconnaissance in con-
nection with fixing upon some favorable
point for the depot Of the Northern Pacific
Railway, he is favorably impressed with
the harbors pres cnted by Sleilacoom, Seattle
and Bellingham Bay-eilher Of which would
secure every purpose for the object cOntem-
plated.
