Il is charging the nom;nee with havj1-
practiced falsehood and deception upon b.,
friends, in order 20 secure the nominai on.
and snch charge should be promptly met,
and the slanderer exposed TO the public
gaze. This we are daily expecting to see
done BY the nominees of the Frankfort Cor
vention and the Democracy of the coun-
try ere becoming impatient at the already
apparent delay.
1t is high time that the State Central
Committee had corresponded with the nom
inees and published their replies. If it
should turn ont that the Convention was
deceived by any one of the nominees the
State Central Committee are authorized to
gil bis place on the ticket. OF one thing
there is no doubt, viz If any know-noth-
ing has been so base as to palm himself
upon the Democratic party, and accepted
q nomination for Office, he will be placed by
the united acclamation of all honorable
men far beneath the convicts of our State
prison in moral honesty and political integ-

intrude on the patience of your columns,
by givingf in an humble way, my acquaint-
ance with the midnight hotelers, known by
the name of Know-nothings. have been
q member of this order, and have met
with them in their secret places Of meeting,
heard them discuss the different questions
brought before the Wigwam, watched their
manGvers, became satisfied Of their OBJ
jects, aud three weeks last Tuesday went
before the Wigwam and asked for card
Of withdrawal, and told them to their teeth
that believed it to be Wing trap
Let me say just here to one gentleman, who
is q member Of this order, and who was
present on this occasion, that | thank him
vcryklndly for the compliment he gave me,
when he said that he thought that |
showed what was composed Of. in coming
there and facing the music" At the time
l Withdrew from that order, / intended to
say nothing about it, for the Democratic
portion Of that order had an understand
ing among themselves, and come to the
same conclusion that did, that it was
Wing trap, and agreed to leave them, aud
II affords me considerable pleasure 70 say
that nearly all have left them. Since my
withdrawal from that order, my veracity
has been questioned, l appeal to the mem
bers Of the order on this subject, aud nov
stand ready to contradict the false accusa-
tion made by the gentlemen. Here let
me say, Mr.. Wiley, for the benefit of
few individuals, that you never solicited of
me any information concerning this order,
and further more that never talked to
any person on the subject, until after the
exposition made by Mr.. Hicks. But now

GentLemca-F For your better information,
allow me to correct statement made by
you in the Puget Sound Courier" of june
2Sth, headed The Olympia Clique" In
that article you say the clique sustained
another defeat when Geo. Gallaher lost the
clerkship Of the District court of Thurston
county" / am at Joss to know where or
from whence you received your information;
perhaps it is through your medium, Mr..
BrosoR. Be that as it may, yon are wrong
ly informed, let the information come from
where it will. On the l4th day of May,
informed his Honor, Judge Lander, that
intended to resign the clerkship after the
adjournment Of the court to which notice
he replied by saying that might do as
pleased about it, named it again on the
l7th day of May. On this occasion the
Judge asked me when wished my resigna-
ton to take effect named the last day
Of May. My resignation was cntersd on
the journal accordingly, and | believe re-
mains there for the curious TO examine
when they wish to be satisfied Of the fact
Now as to the existence Of any clique or
party of men, deny having any interest
or connection with any, except those inter-
ests have in common with the democratic
party. If there has been any sympathy
felt for me ou account of my resignation
by any of those gentlemen You named, l
can assure you and them it was entirely
uncallcd for.
Messrs. Editors, if all your statements
about Col. Anderson and his Mississippi
propensitieS and predictions are equally
true as this about the clerkship, it will, no
doubt affect Judge Strong very materially,
but that the Judge will like the affect pro-
duced, will not be bound to say.
Very respectfully yours,
GEo. GALLAGHER.
