vention Of the democracy of Washington

the object Of a general celebration and mu-
tual congratulatiou Of the members Of the
party, consequent upon the recent demo
cratic victories achieved in Virginia, Ore
gon and Washington territories, over the
foul conspiracies aud isms of the day. The
proposition before us suggests the 18th day
Of September next, as suitable time, and
contomplates the invitation, by the, democ.
racy of this territory, of Gen. Lane, and
the democracy generally of Oregon. The
proposed convention isendorsed by Many
Democrats of King county, and meets
with favorable response from Thurston,
so far as we have heard an expression on
the subject The place proposed is conve-
nient for an Ossemblage from both terrific
but few miles removed from

mocracy Of the two territories to determine
whether the proposed convention shall
