The "Hyer Guard named in honor of Mr.. Thomas
Hyer, the widely known pugilst, gave ball az MD

the attendance was quite slm-there not being over
one hundred men and sixty women present. Inc

the remainder were scqusintsnces and friends OF ny

but none OF them were especially prominent IN then

inventions of desperate and shameless set
of opponents, to secure the defeat of the
man with the principles. But the man
met boldly the Preparations Of these foul
schemes, and caused their shafts to rebound
with deadly effect. With clear con-
science as n man, and pure principles as a
politician, he gained triumph over Know
Nothingism and its cotcmporaries which
We will never forget
In Washington the same schemes were
attempted, with very similar result. The
secret weapons of this bandit party were
brought over from Oregon, and were soon
placed in the hands of whig leaders to he
used in the late canvass. These leaders
had much confidence in their skill and
arrangement" They knew small number
of votes changed would alter the result.
This dark-lantern idea was the very thing.
They thought fifty or q hundred unwary
democrats could. easily be found who were
sufficiently unsuspecting as to be caught in
their trap. Accordingly " Pine Wigwam,
No. l." was established. The skill ond
management " of all whigdom in, around and
about Olympia was put to work to entice
and inveigle the unsnspecting democracy
into the snare. The sequel has shown
what success their skill and management "
had. They secured the election Of three
wings to the legislature out of seven, and
did that By chance. Thanks to the un-
flinching democracy Of Thurston, they did
no more. Yes, they are disappointed, ter
ribly disappointed. They expected more,
much more success with their "skM and
management" So they were disappointed
in Virginia and Oregon. So may they be
disappointed in the results in Texas, Loni
siana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina and
Georgia. So.may they ever be disuppoint

Know SOthlngS-Thslr Creed.

We publish on the first page Of this
issue, portion Of the constitution, by
laws oaths, and ritual Of Know Nothings.
1t Is taken from the Oregon Statesman, a
highly creditablc and reliable paper. In
reference to the pamphlet copy from which
it is taken, that paper makes the following
remarks:
1--WE have printed ii entire, and word
for word us II is in the pamphlet, putting
roman, italics, caps and small caps, us'we
found them. Of the gehuinencss Of the
document there is no doubt. Know Moth
ings WHO have withdrawn tell us it is genu-
ine-and Know Nothings who have not
withdrawn have told us that there was no
doubt Of itsgenuineness, that it was idle to
deny that. II will be noticed that the
grips, signs, passwords, &c, are not given,
that there are stars (*) where they should
come in. That is the same in the PAM
phlet copy; those things are not printed
there, but are given to the candidate"
We publish this more as a matter Of
record than for any other purpose, The
wrong, the shameful fraud and the ruin
Gus and destructive effects Of such politi-
cal organization have hecn plainly demon
strAted by the Democratic press through.
out the Union, and justly rebuked by the
Democratic party in tho recent elections.
We believe the order is now emphatically
dead without mourners, aud can lie un-
buried without offence" Those who have
left the order will not, and those who are
still in it dare not mourn over its untimcly
death. But that the uninitiated may see
the real creed Of this dangerous or
gauizatiou, that those who have judiciously

Good Democracy.

The San Francisco Placer Times and
Transcript expresses the following purely
democratic sentiments in an article ou.the
Democratic State Convention of California
1t is with such sentiments, such principles
and such feelings that tho democratic party
must meet the combined forces of ism, fac
iiolrand fanaticism, to succeed. There is
not true democrat in America whose
heart will not give a willing assent to the
sentiments expressed in the last paragraph
Of this extract, though he may differ with
the writer aS to the Importance Of the
question mentioned. We trust the democ-
racy Of the Eldorndo State will not let
such sentiments go unhecded. The opposi-
tion there will bring every gun to bear
Meet them at the polls as your organ
meets them with the quill, and you will
have a Wise victory a'' '. ar
"There is no issue Of more solemn i'm
port, Of more vital result proposed TO the
American people than this one Of the Ne
braska question. We hold it as the test
point Of our popular effort-we hold it us
the turning point of our issue-wc look
upon il as the great question which is to
determine whether the democratic voice Of
the people, or some prineely mandate Of a
military dSspot shall rule the dcstinies of
our beloved country.
"When the Nebraska bill was offered in
Congress it met with opposition from many
who have since become its warmest adyo-
Gates. 1t was the embodiment mean
ing-the substance-the wholepurport aud
summing up Of the new point created by
the exigencies Of the period in meeting the
best interests Of a people whose local preju-
dices had cngendered IN ohtagonisic SEN
tinlent, based upon sectional interests.
1--WE consider nothing of more vital i'm
portance than the issues Of great ques-
tion which threaten, in certain localities,
a dsuhion Of these, our united States
We believe that all the issues upon this
material question ought To be maturcIy
considered by the people Of California.
We arc no shareholders, nor are we aboli-
tionists. We are no free-soilers, nor are
VIC medium men---we are democrats This
term defines our position. Locality can
not affect us, because principle governs us,
and wherever the broad shield Of our Re
public may overshadow, there we will go
and breathe the same sentiments, regard
less OF cline, Of latitude or soil, whether it
be the sunny south or the frigid north IL
is principle, and principle alone, the great
estimate of popular equality, which rules
us in our solemn resolve, that all men
shall be free and equal which induces this
expression" $50 w - ..

Fort CoIyilIc Gold Mines.

The impression now seems to be general
that there are gold mines in the ncighbor-
hood Of Fort Colville. Numerous new re-
ports, and confrmations of old reports seem
to settle the question. As far as we are
concerned, all these reports are second
handed. We have seen no one who has
dug the gold or seen it dug nor have we
communicated with such q person. Yet
we Jeliere the reports, and our community
generally believes them, Notwithstanding
they have heard of the Gold Bluffs" the
Yakima MincS,r the "St. IIelens Dig
gings,7 and such like. The consequence is,
many of our best citizens who have seen
the Elephant" " in California, are preparing
10 see how the huge Jeast looks up in the
cold regions When We hear from them,
We will give positive Information about the
mines. In the meantime let us look at the
map and see the mines on paper.
Fort Colyille is trading post Of the
Hudson'S Bay company, situated on the
east bank of the Columbia river a short
distance below the junction of Lewis and
Clark's river. 1t lies near lat 4So 40 Ion.

" in Washington territory There are at
present three routes by which Fort Col
Vile is accessible from this region of tile
country. One route is that up the Colum-
bia rivcr-or rather It is up the river and
the river valley--a portion of the way by
water. the balance. on land. From the
Dnlles OF the Columbia to Colyille it seems
to be about $50 miles on straight line.
OF the practcability of this route, We haze
no positive information at present.
Another route and the most direct one
from the Sound we presume, is through
the Snoqualmio Pass. This route from
points on the Sound seems to he almost
straight, aud to cross but few streams
