mcmbered that the first No. of the Courie,
that made its appearance, published the
fusion platform with the omission of this
particular resolve. The candidates started
out with this first No in their pockets, and
in an address in the direction Of the Colum
bia river, Col. Anderson alluded to the
omission referred to, which he was certain
had been passed by that convention. Judge
Strong, finding the resolution in question
left out in the Courier, made it convenient
to deny the truth of Col AS allegation
declaring that no such resolution had been
passed. At their next speaking, the same
charge was made by Col. Anderson, and
the same protest entered by Judge Strong,
who insisted that lie was present and that
no such resolution had been adopted and
to cap the climax of the joke, Strong, on
that occasion, to give quietus to the mat
ter discoursed as follows: "You say such
a resolve was passed, deny it. Now to
settle the matter, am willing to adopt the
platform as it now reads, and without the
resolve against slavery and upon the plat
form as it now stands, will plant myself
Of course, Col A. was obliged to submit ;
but in short time afterwards, the second
No. of the Couricr made its appearance,
iclh The missing rcsOired restored TO The plat
form, aud the Judge was compelled to
"crawfsh." After such all exhibition and
exposure, we would ask the whig free-soil-
crs and abolitionists, how they can take the
Judge into their embraces? What conf
dence can they have in his sincerity?
Another very humiliating exposure was
made of the Judge in the matter of section
oiism 1t was openly charged, and not de-
MED by him, that on the Columbia river he
had endeavored to arouse sectional feeling
in his own behalf and spoke there openly
of Puget Sound and its interests as oppos-
ed to those of the Columbia river. We
are gratifcd'to know that our candidate
has made no such invidious appeals to the
prejudices Of the people of the Sound. In
the discharge of his duty as our represen-
tativc in Congress, he will do justice to all
parts of the territory alike-the coast-the
Columbia river and the Sound.
The speech Of COL Anderson was bold,
frank and manly effort, aud we congratulate
our fellow democrats on the fact, that we
have in him an able advocate and exponent
of the principles Of the democratic party
one fully equal to the bearing of our ban.
ucr on to glorious victory Let us then
with united energy, roll up majority fol
him, proportionately as large as that given
by Oregon for Gen. Lane. Let Gaines
and Strong, who came round the Horn in
the same ship together, be shipped to the
head waters Of Salt River" Let those
who have been united in life, not be separ.
ated in death. The free-soil vote Of this
county tciH not, VIC have reason to believe
be given to Judge Strong I; neither do W,
believe that party in other counties, car
be humbugged into his support Col. An
derson left most favorable impression OF
the audience, by his address, and no one
of any party, seriously doubts his election
The democracy have concluded that Col
Anderson will do to "tie up to" and "sweal
by" as our next delegate to Congress, and
from their decision there is no appeal. The
democracy of other counties may rest as
sured that Thurston is right On the goose,
and that Sam has "winked out " beauti
