As stated last week, we republish the
volunteer and citizen representations, with
an additional number Of hsmes. 1t may
be that some names are printed twice, but
our time will not permit us to revise them
carefully, and consequently we let them go
as they are, knowing that errors, il any,
can be corrected hereafter. We only re-
mark, at this time, while legal mockery
holds sway-while common sense is being
burlesqued, and the feelings Of the people
outraged, that it is proper time for the

Washington Territory. And am fully
persuaded without grabbing at siraws,
like drowning man, that the day is not
far distant when this section OF country
will meet with a rapid and heavy settle
ment. There are two points by which an
easy ingresS and egress can be had, both
BY land and water, from the waters of the
Sound to this place. Being well conycrs-
ant with the character Of the country be
tween here and Seattle, have no doubt
rs to a road being made from here to that
point in distance forty-five miles, On
the other hand, by simply removing few
rocks out Of the Snoqualhie river, a steamer
of light draught can ascend as far Fort
Tilton at any season Of the year, as there
is at least three feet Of water to be found
in the river at all points, at the dryest sea-
son. This assert without fear Of a sue
ccssful contradiction. This country is in
its infancy-it is undeveloped in fine, it
is unknown, and l think | may say with
dne prOpriety, that the oldest pioneers in
the Territory know but very little of the
extent and topography Of this country,
when millions and millions Of people yet
unborn will subsist upon the productions Of
IFS soil. More anon, in this connection.
Yours very respectfully,

4 few days since, the wings $50 called)
Of Thurston- county held what was termed
mass meeting, for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates to be supported on Monday
next - composed mainly Of voters from
Olympia precinct. Notwithstanding the
movers in this matter opposed the coven-
tion system (Which would, at least, afford
an opportunity for all sections of the county
to be represcntcd), but two or three pre-.
cincts ieere represented, and yet it is styled
a mass meeting-a meeting Of The people !
The democratic party saw fit to hold a
" convention" and about all sections of the
county ocrc represented. This contention
cast thirty-four votes, and the highest vote
cast, if our memory serves us right, in the
whig "p'ass mecting," was twenty-six. 1t
is urged that mass meeting was called to
allow the people protesting to be wings 10

lowed TO answer, We would say that it was
last dying struggle of whiggery The
ichig party did, within our recollection,
hold conventions, but now they resort TO
mass meetings Oh | lohat mass meetings !
1t reminds us Of the coroner's jury, com.
posed of one man, (not the people en- aasse)
who was called to sit upon his own body to
sec i" if he was dead for certain, or only
kind o gin 'eOut." The conclusion in his
case, if our recollection is right, was
" died for sOant Of tcind."
To the remains of this party we arc will
ling to pay oil due respect 1t seems that
its burial has been assigned to the extreme
northwestern portion Of the United States.
We neither hear nor read Of whig organi-
zation in any other locality-we know Of
none in Congrcss-and, consequently, pre-
sumo that it has been transferred to Wash
ington Territory for final interment. That
it is dead in the States, all men know who
read, but it may be that Washington Ter
ritory is destined to revive, infuse new life,
aud rcsurrect it or as PRENTICE once
said of PENN-" He was inferred, but rose
again."
If such has, and is to be the fate of the
whig party, will not nc-gro-ology "gin
'eOut" or die for want of wind" in the
coming election ? Senator WADE made
the declaration near year since, that the
whig party was not only dead, but stinketh p
And if this be SO, how will niggerism smell d?
If ne-gro-ology has sprung from the ruins
of this political stencil, it must, necessarily,
partake Of its putridity, and, not only in
this northwestern portion, but throughout
the entire possessions Of the United States,
the hot summer months Of 1856 will hasten
its decay.

only the democratic. That there exists a

men entertaining national principles, who
neither contemplate nor will admit of a
dismcmbered confcderacy-men nbhorring

will introduce and sustain such principles

Movements Of the Troops, &C.


By the latest adviCes from Col. SAAw we
learn that his command reached the COlum.
bia river opposite WallawalIa on the 30th
Of June, and boats would be had in readi.
ness by the 9th of July, to cross them over
to Wallawala. The entire volunteer force
numbering about 400 men would be con,
centrated in the Wallawalla valley by the
7th or 9Th inst.
The main body of the hostile Indians are
supposed to have gone north. A few strag-
Cling Indians were seen between WaIla-
walla and the Dalles by Messrs. KANE and
CoFFEY who brought the express from Col.
SHAW. The hostile Indians of that region
are supposed to have broken mp in small
bands, and very much scattered, with the
exception of about 800 concentrated at the
head of John Days river.
This side Of the Cascade mountains, no
signs Of hostile Indians have been discover
ed, or anything of interest transpired in the
military service for the last few weeks.
Much credit is due to assistant Quarter
master general HuRD. Judge CusHMAN OF
Quartermaster department, and Capt. Ro-
BE in command Of the train accompanying
Capt. GeFF's command, for their prompt
and efficient labors in fitting out the expe-
dition.
We committed an error in our last weeks
issue in stating that Mr. H. TLroN had
charge Of the pack train accompanying
Capt. GoFF's command, and also in refer
ence to the appointment of Mr.. L. ALExAN-
DER as special agent. Such is not the fact.
The friendly Indians on the different res
ervations in charge of local agents are
peaccably and quietly engaged in preparing
their winter supplies.
Col. WRIGHT according to our latest ad.
vices, was quietly encamped and begging oil

tanned, almost unanimously, by the citizens
of Thurston county, and the volunteers in
the field, from oil portions Of the territory,
that certain persons in the county Of Pierce,
had been engaged in aiding and abetting
the enemy, contrary TO the rules and arti'
cles of war. See John O'Bryans on
American Military Law and Courts Mar

ARTICLE 51.-" Whosoever shall be con
victed of holding correspondence with OIL

The same authority, page LAG, closing

allied to treason. The 56th article is Sc
explicit as to need no calculations. It en-
acts that, Whosoever shall relieve the en-
envy with money, victuals or ammunition, ol
shall knowingly hOrbor or protect on enc

bDUELLING.-The following is an excellent
burlesque upon this worse than foolish prac-
tice:-
Two mosketoes, one morning met on a
leaf in the garden. Both were filed with
blood during their last nocturnal deprcda-
tions They were silent and dumpy, cross
and savage. One Of them run out his sting
aud wiped it on his fore leg. The other
thrust out his sting, and pointed it toward
the first mosketoe. This was considered
an insult; and the offended mosketoe steps
UP to the other and says:
Did you turn up your sting at me 2"
l run out my sting; you can apply it
just as you choose"
Sir," says the first mosketoe, "you are
very impertinent."
Answer-"Sir, your remark Savors Of
rascality."
Hap exclaims the other, "a downright
insult I No gentleman mosketoe will sub
nit to such treatment without demanding
satisfaction Draw, villain, and defend
yourself at once "
They rushed together and running QUO
another through the body, died "honOra-

The WAY JoAS CHINAMAN Fixes HIS
DEBroR.-A Chinaman in San Francisco
was recently observed with one side of his
face painted sky blre, presenting most
ludicrous and grotesquc appearance, in con-
trast with the dirty yellow on the other
side. A gentleman passing stopped him
and asked the reason he painted himself so
singularly. The Chinaman told him it had
been done by creditor whom he was un
able to pay. When asked why he did not
wash it of, he replied 80 long no payee
money, so long no washec off," and he pass
cd on apparently resigned to the punish
ment the custom Of his country had impos-
ed upon him.

THE DEMOCRATIC PREsSO ON GOV,
CHASE,S WAR MESSAGE.


We have been not a little amused and
gratifed in reading the comments of
some of our eminent Democratic cotem-
poraries on Gov. CHAsE's Kansas War
Message. GRAY. of the Plaindealer,
.pronounces it a Presidential trick. ROB-
INsoN, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is
numerically severe, and literally uses
up the Governor on every point. The
Dayton Empire insinuates that the
Governor has been making spiritual
Communications to the Legislature. The
Statesman, however, eclipses them all,
and ridicules the Message thus
"The wal whoop? sounds from avery
village and hamlet! Women and chill
dren startlc from their dreams of securi-
ty, and open their eyes but to witness
the mangled corpses of their fathers,
husbands and sons, of Is years and up
wards Sweethearts mingle their mai
den tears with the life's blood oozing
from the veins of their beloved! Grand
fathers too old to go to the field of bat
tie and ga free fight )" stand leaning
against the lightning poles to catch the
news as it fits along the wires. The
watch-dogs howl at midnight the token
of desolation that is upon us! The war
god throws his stream of red light
athwart the heavens and prophets proph-
ecy President Chase subscribed fifty
dollars for a fight in Kansas, and for
fear of losing his money, lie issues his
war proclamation, that will be found in
our paper Of this morning! Therefore,
ResolUed, That every mothers son of
us purchase, forthwith, M of Sharp's
Rifles, and shoot somebody Provided,
always, that the Black Republican Ma
tionoL Convention of a part of the
States, should come off at Pittsburgh
on the 22nd inst. MuSicS-" My hearts
in the Highlands" &c.
The Statesman also says hat it has
not yet been decided whether the five
regiments " will rendezvous in the PEN
itentiary or the Lunatic Asylum, and
assures the owners of huekster wagons
and washer-women, that they will find
steady employment and prompt pay, as
long as the money lasts. 1t also makes
a good point in the following paragraph:
"CHAsE's BOUNTY LANDs.-In an
swer to inquiries about the Bounty
Lands that Gov. Chase intends to give
for fighting under his orders in Kansas,
We can only say that we understand each
soldier enlisting for the WAR, will re-
ceive a piece of land sic feet by taco-
free of government taxes, provided that
the entries are made in juxtaposition :"

invitation from our Lyceum, and the
