were charged by some of the officers aud
almost universally by the volunteers and

peared to be determined to effect their re-

to; therefore be it
Resoired, That we, the citizens Of Sa-
vanish county, do fully, frankly, and freely
approve, in the most emphatic terms, of
the action Of the Governor in the premises.
Resoired further, That we believe if the
Governor had not arrested the citizens re-
tcrred to, and proclaimed Martial law over
the counties OF Pierce and Thurston, that
he would have had host Of far better men
down on him, than those who are apparent
y taking sides with our common foe aud
showing disposition to oppose the action
Of the Commander-in-Chief in his efforts to
save the lives of our citizens.
BE IL further ReSoired, That as McCloud
did on the 25th Of December last, feed aud

himself, and published in the Pagct Sound
Courier, and still remained on his claim
until ordered in, and after being in, did re-
turn in violation of law, and the orders of
the executive.
Rcsolred FURTHER, That We have the full
est confidence in the ability Of Governor
STEVENS to discharge the arduous duties
assigned him as Governor, as Superintcnd-
ent Of Indian Affairs, and as Commander
in-Chief Of the forces of this Territory, and
that he has the will TO do so ; and that his
best energies are devoted night and day,
to promote the best interests Of Washing
ton Territory and that his removal from
office, under existing circumstances, would
be disastrous to the public interest, (of

ment have always thought, heretofore,
that the American people were united
when their country was involved in war
with any other nation. But here sec q
different state of affairs, which deserves
the most rigid condemnation. Well, these
things, ere long, will be known throughout
the area that our history extends, and
these noted characters will blend the pages
Of future history with disgraceful marks.
Rather than lay back in my sofa, or easy
chair, (as some men have done), and place
myself in opposition to those who have
been defending me, and fighting the bat
ties Of my country, / would choose to be q
dog and hey the moon"
Then look at Gen. Wool's conduct to-
wards Oregon and Washington Territories.
1t has always heretofore struck me, that
the army Of the United States was organ
lied and supported for the express pur-
pose Of defending our common country
against our enemies. But on the Pacific
coast it appears different-the commanding
officer deridiDg our misfortuRes, and the
unhappy people Of two Territories, charges
them with being outlaws and murderers,
just merely to clear his unfortunate blum
ders. Now, oil those who are working
against our unfortunate people, are trying
10 stop any appropriations being made by
Congress 10 defray the expenses Of the war,
aud indemnify citizens for their all, which
has been stolen or burned by the Indians
and should this be effected, then, say, for
one, we can fight the battles of our coun-
try, even though we be neglected. We
must maintain our just rights. had rath.

fend my country, than desert her in time

The following resolutions were prepared
to submit to the convention, held Saturday,
June 28th, but were not introduced 10 con-
sequence Of the immediate adjournment Of
the convention, after completing their prop
er labors. We publish them as matter of
information, for the democracy elsewhere;
and have no doubt, that they, if submitted
to the meeting, would have been adopted
unanimously. They read as folIows:-
Rcsolred, that the democratic party Is the
only political organization that has a his,o-
ry or future, a national or steady policy,
and is therefore the only party in the hands
Of which, the affairs of our government may
be committed with safety.
Resolrsd, that the principles of selEgov-
ernment contained in the Kansas Nebraska
bill, by which the source of the laws for the
territories is taken from the hands Of non-
residents, and left with the people for whom
the laws are made, is the genuine doctrine
Of republcanism, and he therefore who un-
der cover Of the name Of Republican makes
wal upou uOOAlluC udo olOitu tilo NV
cry of heaven in which to serve the devil"
ResOlred, that the so called know-nothing
order, being composed chiefly of out.casts
and renegades from other political pattieS,
without political principles or dignity of
character, is therefore the most dangerous
and corrupt Of all the isms of the day, there
fore the nominees of this convention by ac-
cepting such nomination, are thereby pledg-
ed if elected, to use all honorable means to
defeat the objects and ends of said order,
and to rid the country of the curse Of its
existence.
ResOlred, that of the political measures
and bold and able state papers of president
Pierce, by which the fundamental principles
Of the democratic faith have been ilustrat.
ed, we give our cordial approval.
ResOlred, that we seek no alliance, and
accept no compromises, but rely with the
utmost confidence upon the intelligence and
patriotism Of the masses for the final and
triumphant success Of the national dcmocra

Mass Meeting al OLYMPIA,

AT mass meetlng convened pursuant tC
public notice, in the town of Olympia, tc
take into consideration the course pursued
BY the executive Of the territory, and the
emergency which caused him to declare
martial law in Pierce county; b. +. Yantis
was called to the chair, and J. W. Goodell
appointed secretary.
After some remarks relative to the OBJ
Ject of the meeting, the following commit
tee was appointed to draft resolutions ex-
preSsive Of the sense Of the meeting, viz:
Hon. Victor Monroe, Wm. Rutledge
Esq, Chas. L. Weed, H. d. Morgan and
AndrSW-J Chambers.
The committee retired and shortly re-
ported the following preamble and resolu-
tions:
Whereas, in the prosecution of the exist
ing Indian war in Washington territory,
certain settlers in the county of Pierce are
strongly suspected Of affording aid and
comfort to the enemy, aud certainly did re-
main in safety upon their farms whilst all
other settlers in the vicinity were, either in
block-hOuses, or if found by the euemy were
massacred:
And cheyeas, the above suspected per.
sons did in our opinion furnish provisions
and Information to the enemy, melting the
continuance Of the war and when ordered
into the towns Of Steilacoom or Olympia or
to Ft. Nisqually, did in defiance Of orders
from the executive, and the general sense
Of the citizens, return to their claims to re-
establish intercourse with the enemy; and
also when the said settlers were arrested
and placed for safe keeping in the hand
Of the commanding officer of the IT, S. gar
rison at Ft. Stelacoom, preparatory to u
trial by military commission, writ Of
hdbeds corpus was applied for to relieve
them from said confinement, which would
have had the effect to turn into the thea
tire of active military operations band Of
active Indian sympathizers and probable
spies, net only rendering abortive the mill
tary operations, but leading TO civil war
and bloodshed: and,
Whereas in view Of these facts, the exec
utiye Oh the Sd day Of April, 1856, pro-
claimed martial lap in the county of Pierce
and afterwards enforced it by the arrest Of
the Judge and clerk, in their attempt to
hold the usual term of the court. There
fore, be it
Rssolrcd, that martial law havi,g been
proclaimed it became the duty Of the gov
eruor to enforce IL.
ResOired, that we approve Of the course
Of the executive in enforcing martial law.
Resoired, that the question is simply as
expressed by the governor in bis " Vindica-
ton" dated May 10th, 1856, whether
the executive has the power in carrying on
the war, to take summary course with
dangerous band Of emissaries, who have
been the confederates Of the Indians
throughout, by their exertions and sympa-
thy, can make, to great extent, the mill
tary operations dbOrtive," it is a question
whether military power, or public commit
tees without law, as in California, shall see
that Justice is done in the cause.
Rcsolred, that we will sustain the execu-
tive in enforcing martial law. at least until
the trial Of the suspected spies and Indian
sympathizers.
After considerable discussion the pream-
BILE and resolutions were passed.
