RrNoRS CONNECTED WITH THE LATE EIEC'
rloy.-It is currently reported in this coun-
ty that IHurstOn, at least has elected SIX
democratic representatives in connection
with a councilman. Rumor has it that
Clarke county has elected democratic
councilman and four members Of the assem-
bly,. 1t is generally understood that Mr.
J. S. NJ. VAN CIEAyE, (dem.) has been
elected to the position OF councilman from
the district embracing the counties Of Cow
litz, Pacific, &c. Also, that Mr.. JoHN
CArLIN has been elected to the House in
the county of Cowlitz, and better selec.
ton could not have been made. Levi,
county, we are informed, has elected Messrs
JuDsoX and MILEs for the House, thereby
defeating all whig opposition. From pri
vate correspondence we are advised OF the
fact that the result of the election in Pierce
county was obtained through downright
fraud and corruption. We are in possess
ion of co ommunication or two on the sub
icct, which will appear hereafter. Mr.. j.
5. SMITH has been elected to the House in
Island county, if we are correctly informed,
and on the representative ticket, King
county has redeemed herself by electing
three democratic representatives. Mr.. A.
A. DENNY, (fusion) has been elected to
the council No further returns received.
General particulars next week. The de-
mocracy, "any how all right.

B6F- From Col SHAw's command We
have received advices Of a late date,
brought to us by Mr.. I. HueHEs. At the
last advices received, Col SHAW was en-
camped on Mill creek" in the vicinity ot
Grand Ronde-within q few miles Of the
eastern base Of the Blue mountains. AS
far as appearances are concerned, it would
seem that Gen. Wool has effectually tram
melled brave and generous U. s. officer,
to wit: Col. WRIGlr, and, we might add; q
large proportion Of captains and subalterns
rank and fle--of the 9th Infantry: Our
people havc one consolation at hand: this
state of things cannot last always-al-
though slow, universally, justice is certain.

We clip the following summary Oh iate
news from the New York Herald:
Secretary Marcy's letter to Lord Clar-
endon, on the Central American question,
communicated to congress on Friday, Is
published in ertenso in tO-days HERALD
The main points discussed in this document
are the difference Of opinion. between the
British government and that Of the United
States regarding the construction and ef-
feet Of the convention Of April 10, 1850,
popularity known as the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and the proposition TO submit to ar
bitration for settlement the question in dis
pute. Mr.. Dallas is instructed to ascer-
tain, in the first place, whether the existing
differences cannot be promptly terminated
by negotiation; and, if they cannot, then
to discuss the conditions Of arbitration.
A message from the president, inform
ing congress'that he had ceased to hold in-
tercourse with the British Minister, and q
despatch from secretary Marcy to Mr..
Dallas, replying to the letter of Lord Clar-
endon of the 30th Of April, on the enlist
ment difficulty, were presented to the sen
ate on Thursday Mr.. Marcy states that
the president is much grati6ed at the con-
cilatory spirit Of the letter Of Lord Clarcn
don, and by the desire expressed to adjust
existing differences, and preserve and
strengthen the friendly relations between
the two countries. The disclaimer Of any
intention to violate the laws of the United
States, and the expression of regret that,
contrary to the intention and direction oil
the British government, there has been
such infringement, are satisfactory, and tue
main complaint, so far as respect her MAJ
esty's government, is thus removed; Dut
the president extremely regrets that nc
cannot concur with Mr.. Clarendon IN tne
opinion that Mr. Cramptou aud the eonsulS
at New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati
ii are not implicated in these proceedings
Regarding those who have no connection
with this government he has nothing to
ask of her Majesty's government; but in
the cases of the individuals mentioned, he
deems it.proper that their relations with
this government sshould cease. In taking
this step, however, he does not intend to
cause any interruption Of the diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Great Britain; but on the contrary, is desi'
rous of keeping the two countries on
friendly footing. Mr.. Crampton's with
drawal was asked expressly on the ground

Of prosperity again shine upon us.
Ladies aBd gentlemen, before l close

up the glass which picrces futurity, and
take peep through the vail into the vista
of coming years. And methiuks that all
over this goodly land | behold the bless
ings which flow from high state of civili-
zation, showercd around in rich profusion.
These immense forests have disappeared,
aud in their place behold well cultivated
farms, adorned with fields Of golden wheat.
Around our numerous waterfalls, hear
the hum of machinery, converting the vari-
ons products of our forests, our soil, and
our hocks, into the comforts of life. MI
merous steamers are ascending and descend
ing our numerous rivers, and l hear the
shrill whistle Of their engines as they lay
along side of the many flourishing towns,
which have been built along the banks, to
discharge or receive freight. At different
points on the Sound, and near the mouths
of our rivers, l behold large cities, with
their numerous spires, glistening in the rays
of the morning sun, their streets teemng
with busy thousands, and their numerous
wharvos crowded with immense steamers
and ships from all parts of the world, re-
ceiving and discharging their immense car
goes. | turn my eyes eastward, and be-
hold an immense train Of rail road cars

Cascads AS l am anxious 10 get the news,

with the passengers. From them learn
that in consequence of an accident which
occurred on the summit Of the Rocky
mountains, they were detained three hours,
in consequence Of which they have been
ifty-two hours coming from Washington
city.

which they bring, from which l learn the
following news n
Ist. That the descendants Of Gen. Wool
have made an application to congress for
the donation of township Of land, some
where in the state of Washington, in con-
sidcration of the distinguished and brilliant
military achievements acquired by that Of
ficer, in his campaign against Kamiakn
and his warriors, in the winter Of 1856.
AS some doubt existed in the minds Of the
honorable senator's, on the subject, COM
mittee of inquiry was appointed with pow
er to send for persons and papers.
I'd. l learn that South Carolina, the last
state in the union to abolish her peculiar
institutions, has just passed law, by the
operations of which, all her slaves will be
free in twenty-five years. The intelligence
Of the passage of this act caused universal
Joy throughout the union.
Sd. l learn that the terrible beast saw
in the south, which had been pining away
with consumption for long time, breath
its last just at the moment the Legislature
of South Carolina passed the act of eman-
cipation. The he-goat of the north had
died several years before of disease Of
the head, probably induced by too great a
development of the brain.
"These beasts being dead" says one Of
the papers, "our country is saved and the
union preserved. Our republic is the mod

B0r Unfortunately, it so occurred at the
last issue Of our paper, that we were alb
sent from our sanetum, and, as is fixed
principle with US, to endcavor to do no per-
son injustice, our natural tendencies oblige
US to ask pardon of Col. W. II. WALLACE,
of Pierce county, for an interrogation con-
veyed in letter from a personal friend
and political supporter, and gentleman
for whom We entertain the highest regard
and respect, (GILEs ScRoGcIXs, Esq but
whose unfortunate interrogatory, with re-
gard to habits, &c, received publicity in
our absence. 1t is due to Col. WALLACE,
as far as common report goes, that for
moral uprightness and rectitude of life, he
will compare favorably with large majori-
ty of the county to which he belongs.

In our files relating TO Congressional action on the
subject Of our Indian War.'-Orcgon Times, July IL.
A gentleman, at present resident at
Washington City, writes to us,over date
of May Is, by which we IRE advised that
our indefatigablc delegate in Congress has
been alive, since the organization of the
House, to the interests of our people and
the Territory. 1t is generally understood
that Hons. j. Parton ANDERSON and Jo.
LANE give "neither sleep to their eyes, nor
slumber to their eyelids," so long us the
Territories they represent stand in danger
of being depopulated by the savage. We
are led to believe that the respective CON-
mittees Of the House, to whom was refer

our Territory, for the objects specified in
the bills, 'oM poss-perhaps with slight

favorable reports have been obtained
for an appropriation Of $3.50 for ocean

Of the Sound (0lympia) to San Francisco

$4,000 per annum. Also $4,000 for
public buildings-tbat is, capitol and penl-
tcntiary. The amount asked for originally
for the objects specified was lO7, ,OOO-in-
cluding University. The committee, we
learn, struck out the University at the sug-
gostion Of Secretary Guthrie, for want Of
precedent = ssOneyed appropriations never
having been made for that purpose. Ifall
these bills do not pass, it will not be the
fault Of our delegate.

recognizes the great Importance in politi-
cal and commercial point Of view, Of q safe

of popular institutions in the Old World

sacred duty has devolved, with increased
responsibility, upon the democratic party Of
this country, as the party of the Union, to

and to sustain the advance among us Of
constitutional liberty, by continuing to re-
Sist all monopolies and exclusive legislation
for the benefit Of the few at the expense Of
