His whole character was an admirable
blending of strength and gentleness. He
was essentially man Of great resolution,
daring, enterprise and purpose, who ad-
hered with great inhexbility to his deter
limitations, yet be was so gentle, so kindly,
so courteous and so disinterestcd, that his
strength did not fully appear in ordinary
intercourse. He was also remarkable for
his discretion, and was emincntly trust
worthy in confidential capacity.
To his friends, his death is bercave-
mcnt which time only can obiterate. His
memory will be precious-his Afe an exam
pie. His bright and pure spirit is now in
the heavenly mansion.

Territorial Convention.

We understand that fault is found by
some of the members of the democratic
party, in one county, at least, as to the time
by the central committee for the
meeting of the democratic territorial con-
vcntion. 1t was the intention Of the com
mittee in fixing upon the time, to consult
the convenience of the whole territory. 1t
was thought advisable that the convention
shonld be called at least as early as the 9TH
of May, and it was feared that by postpo-
ming the call until later day, the waters
of the Columbia, Cowlitz and other rivers,
would be swollen so much as to seriously
interfere with the attendance of delegates
from the southern portion of the territory.
In view Of the above, and from the fact
that the call has already been published
two weeks, the committee fear that the
making of any change now, might lead to
serious embarrassment and misundcrstand-
ing in the party.
An early appointment of delegates is
desirable in the persons of democrats who
will be sure to attend. 1t is desirable above
all things, that every county should be full
" and fairly represented, in order that no
dissatisfaction may exist after the nomina-
tiOn shall have been made.
