Election IN CrceOn.

II with feelings Of pride and pleasure
rather than in n spirit Of vain glorious
exultation, that VIC would refer TO the tri'
unphant reelection of Gen. Lane as the
delegate for Oregon, by the recent election
n that territory. When 1t is remembered
int every clement that disaffection could
sfFurd, and coalition could embrace, was
brought into the political canvass, and
welded with the most deadly effort against
the nominee of the democracy, and that
Gen. Lane has overcome all opposition by
q majority, as is claimed, of 1000, such a
result cannot prove otherwise than inspir-
ing, in the highest degree to the democracy
of this territory, in the approaching >elec-
ton. Let but the democracy of Wash
ington preserve the firm and unbroken
front which their brethren in Oregon has
Just exhibited, and Col. Anderson will tri-
umph over all opposition by majority
proportionally as large as that given by
Oregon for the Marion of the Mexican
War"
The following arc the majorities of Gen.
Lane, 50 far as heard from taken from the
Oregon Tines of June 9th:

anything about it, What have we to do
with Know Nothings, except to let them
alone. l care nor who are Know Moth
ings-it is none of our business. 1t is
euough TO know that our candidates are
DemocratS,respectablc, and competent to fill
the stations, with credit, we expect them
to occupy. l am willing (and presume
all the candidates are) to subscribe and
be governed by the rules aud usageS of the

it as much the duty OF MIN who represents

interests Of his constituents without regard

way, (provided the means are honorable. }
With little modification, to be governed
by circumstances, think, this motto ap-
propratc for our banner, Our county
may she he always right, our county, right

dertake it unless they have faith TO believe

the lump is purely vegetable, there is no
danger of salvation. In conclusion, |
will remark that this address is not i'll
tended to apply to the Territorial convcn-
ton in any manner. There being but
one opinion regarding the choice OF that
convention by democrats generally. That
Col. Anderson received the nomination
fairly, is self evident, and it becomes the
duty, therefore, of every member of the
party throughout the Territory to support
him. Certainly no one will charge him
with being Know Nothing Col, Ander-
sons nomination, it is believed, comes
nearer suitng every individual member Of
the party throughout the country, than
would that of any other man. 1t is the
county hoket that is the "eye Sore" and
Justice to myself demands that l should

Psi5- The spirit manifested in the following
article, is IN index TO 4 more general feeling
than we would have supposed it possible
could have been awakened by our mild and
as we believed and still believe, appropriate
allusion to the county ticket last week. AZ
ter truthfully assigning reason for the cause
Of the silence on the part Of the paper since
the nominations were made, giving our rea-
sons why we should give an unequivocal sup
port to the ,chOie ticket, we alluded. in as
delicate manner as we were capable of. to-
a rumor, which, if nOt explained away, or
counteracted, would be- likely to operate pre-
iudcialy in the coming election. The sug-
gestion was wholly and entirely our own
We were Influenced in making it, by none
other than number of the candidates them
selves ; We consulted none others; and if
our views OF propriety in The matter, happen
to coincide with Others, it is the result Of
accident, and not Of collusion. We have
no connection with any cliquc-knoY moth
ing of the existence Of any-are influenced
or controlled by none, and we challenge the
production of evidence to the contrary.
The suggestion was made through the best
of motives-with IN object that all might
take advantage of it that thought proper,
without, as necessary consequence, seeking
to prejudice the prospects of those who did
not wish to do so. We have sought to es.
tablish no confessional, as some would wish
to torture our suggestion but some Of the
candidates, not wishing to smart under the
imputation of belonging to the order Of kior
nothiHgs, have signiied their wish to have it
made public, that they do not Jeiong 10 that
order. Is IL right that the people should
know 'cho are not, if they cannot find out who
are members of that order? Dare not the
subject be alluded to- in any shape, without
giving offencc2
We honestly believe that the order has
been broken up, and that their wigwams are
about being abandoned in this territory. We
believe that nearly every democrat who was
unfortunate enough to be caught in this whig
gull-trap, regrets the error, and feels sore in
consequence, and that all such will now vote
for Col. ANDERSON. Let the democrats of
Thurston county then, stand by the nomina-
tions--let them vote the straighioNt tielet,
from COL anderson dotcn-let know-noth-
ingism cling to whiggery, and let that party
cling to it, as did the Spartan boy to the sto-
len fox, but let all good democrats escape
the consequences.
We have made no SPECIAL charges with
regard to this matter We have given the
order an honest opposition from the start,
and will die opposing the pcrnicious doctrines
inculcated in its teachings. We have no
compromises to make with prescription and
Indifference We have nothing to take back,
and no regrets to offer for our former course
Our conscience acquits us with having been
governed from principle and q sense of right,
aud being thus, selfapproved, we are willing
to abide the issue. ~ r'lt

To the Democracy of ThurstOn
II yal@YIof County. lIN1uNn"

y
Being candidate Of the democratic party
for the high honor of seat in your legis-
latiye halls, / have been induced to pen the
following from a knowledge Of the singular
and unwarrantable course taken by certain
professed members of the party against
some ofthe nominees and tocitly connte-
nanced by the editor Of tho democratic
organ. 1t will he seen by referring TO an
article in the Pioneer and Democrat Of
June Sth, headed Democratic County
Ticket" (Which by the way is the first time
the county ticket has been mentioned by
that paper) that the editor is feeling for
knoiO ROthings among the candidates He
says, however, {" the matter is foreign to
theSubject," :" no public accusations exist
against any Of them "-''tkey are nomi-
nees OF democratic convention of the
democratic party p" recognized members
of it -" good and substantial citizens y
gentlemen Of intelligence that it was no
fault OF the convention that nominated
them, &C." What more does he want I?
What do the people want moreH Why
this inquisitive spirit : Why not inquire
if any Of them read Andrew Jackson Da-
vis' writings, or the Tribune, attend won
ans rights conventions, or has been in love
with pretty girl dressed in the Bloomer
costume Z If il is believed that the nomi,
nation was fair one-that the nominees
were the choice Of the convention, (which
all who participated do know why seek
for further evidence Of their democracy
Each no doubt feels a consciousness of
having done his duty on the day of the
convention-now let them do what they
feel to be their duty at the polls, and my
firm belief is that the cause of democracy
will have lost nothing. If any one feels
that he canuot consistently vote for certain
men on the ticket, let him not do it. For
nv part, do not wish to force myself upon
the people they knew me, well when they
nominated me, and l presume done it un-
derstandingly, aud they will, if they do not
wish me to go to the Legislature, bid me
stay at home and dispense saplil to the
multitude" To come out and declare that
we are not Know Nothings would be Of no
possible benefit to the party or to ourselves
it would satisfy no One-we would not
be believed, for it is very generally credited
that K. N. will swear that he knows
nothing of such an order, or that he is not
member. 1t is also said that those who
denounce the organization and rail out
against it in the most vociferous manner,
are the first to be suspected of belonging
to il. / am inclined to think that the hos
