SAwAMsH CoUNTY,-In another eojn6,
It will he seen that the democracy OF thu
county have held their county conveat,on
and nominated WM. NJ MORROW, Esq. for
representative, and candidates for otA.,
county Offices. The resolution pledgine 70
Col Anderson the support of the demOcra !.
cy of that county for delegate to congress.
is but another evidence oflthe pOpularitxo.
that gentleman with the masses, and ,ba
certainty with which his election NAV. \.
regarded over all opposition. The silly
stories and false charges that have been
made against Col. Anderson the effect
that he designed leaving the territory in
case he had failed receiving the nomination
for delegate to congressional be would
remove from the territory il not elected,
and would never return to it Il elected, and
other small potato gossip, will have no
effect with the people, and but serves to
show tlse base resorts 10 which whiggery,
in its extremity, is driven for material with
which to operate against him. Col, A.
thought proper to resign the post of Mar.
shall of this territory. and enter upon the
practice Of his profession, because his Legal
requirements guaranteed to him respect
able subsistence, which his official position
did not All his interests are identified
with the territory, and he has never inli-
mated desire to leave it, otherwise than
as his friends and the democratic party
have now determined upon, in the character
of representative Of this territory ia con
gress. Sawamish county will give him
handsome majority, and elect the entire
democratic ticket. ''' h@i

In the same article in the Courier, tC
which the foregoing has reference, several
inouirics are made about the action Of the
gentlemen placed before the democratic
convention. We will answer them briefly
Governor Stevens withdrew his name be-
cause he thought it right and proper to do
so. The slnrs attempted to be thrown at
Gov Stevens, in the questions asked by the
Courier, will prove as harmless as they are
silly and childish. Judge Lancaster was
not nominated by the democratic conven-
ton, because there was not majority OF
the delegates in favor of his nomination,
and Col Anderson icaS nominated because
there loas majority Of the delegates in
favor of his nomination. There is full an
swer to your three-fourths of column of
yerbosity. And we would here remark
that if the editors of the Courier expect us,
al Ibis time, to enter into discussion of
matters relative to our own position to-
wards Judge Lancaster, or any person else,
foreign to the matter of the approaching
election, they will find themselves sadly dis
appointed. We will attend to our own af-
fairs when the affairs of others are disposed

The DEMocRAcY AwAKE.--We have just
received cheering news from Chehals and
Pacific counties. 1t is as9we expected.
The population on shoalwater Bay, and at
the mouth Of Columbia river, are an active,
energetic and hard working people. They
know their interests too well to be found
voting any such ticket as that put out by
the wings, Notwithstanding the boasts Of
that party that Judge Strong would carry
the whole river and lower country. We
will stake our sagacity on il, that Pacific
and Chehalis counties will be close up in
the contest for the banner. Let us see. 1t
is said that Col. Anderson is Asying Judge
Strong within an inch of bis life " in that
direction. .a au
, 1855-06-15
:" In Conscious Strength there is Danger"


LIT the democracy in our territory re-
member this in the coming contest. Let
them all turn out and work. The wings
are on the alert and will make desperate
struggle. They will take every advantage
of our confidence, and seize every opportu-
nifty to use that advantage. Not stone
will he left unturned. We would urge
earnestly urge our democratic friends to be
on the ground early on the day of the elec-
ton, and see that your neighbors are there
to cast their votes uninnuenced. Keep a
close watch lest some foul ISLANDERS against
our candidates may be used on the day OF
the election without contradiction. We
have majority in the territory, and it is
the duty of all to see that our full party
vote is cast. And in our county, We would
most earnestly urge the democracy not to
bolt. Vote the whole ticket There is no
a man on it that is not better suited to Gil
the Office for which he is candidate than
his opponent Let us at this election set
aside oil doubt that Thurston county is
democratic, by giving to Col. Anderson
and The tehOie tieket clear majority of at
least 10 votes.

b6rThere is something obviously wrong
in the management Of the post Offices, or
in some way connected with the mail ar
rangements between Cowlitz Landing and
Shoalwater bay along the Columbia river.
The Pioneer and Democrat is mailed regu-
larly every week, yet our subscribers in
that direction are making loud complaint
that It IS not regularly received at either
Pacific city, Chinook, Tarlet, Monticello,
Oak Point, &c, &c. Copies of the laws
Of the last session Of the legislature were
mailed to the several county Auditors Of
the different counties yet in some instances
weIearn, (Chehalis for one). they have fail
ed to reach their destination. Where does
the fault attach ? Who can inform us!

There were four out Of forty-seven who preferred
Col Anderson."-COurier.
If the Courier had said there were seven
ont of forty-seven members Of the terrific
rial democratic convention who preferred
Col. Anderson on TIE first ballot, the record
would probably have sustained the asser-
Ttion. But let us see how it was in the
whig convention. On the first ballot,
Judge Strong received l6 votes, nine oi
which were cast by brother Jeeues," and
one by Hon. VIM, Strong, (by proxy y
Then, even on that lay out" Col. Ander'
son has the advantage. He had no broth
er in the convention, cast no vote himself
and received seren votes on the first ballot
whilst Judge Strong only received sir votes
besides his OioH and his brothers nine. The
Courier ought not to say anything more
about the two conventions. The compari
son, correctly drawn, would make the edi
tors stare The editors of the COurie,
cannot be ignorant Of the fact, that Judge
Strong literally bHLied the convention into
nomination Of himself-offered the whip
party for sale to the abolitionists-in SC
many words saying to Judge Hays, if you
are nominated you must make the rae on suol
terms as I shall dicfOte-yOp must endOrs,
such doctrines as IshaH prescribe. Aud how
was it with Col. Wallace, the next strong,
est candidate! Did not Judge Strong
create foul suspicious between Col. Wal
lace and bis friends, in so for as to prevent
that gentleman's nomination. And what
was his course towards Mr. Denny, and all
the other candidates before the conven-
ton We contend that he bUliied that
body into his support.
