and candidate of the democracy for deie-
gate to congress, would thus be made be-
fore the assembling of the convention !;
and all the convention would have to do
after assembling would be but to canvass
the Instructions of the delegates, ascertain
the choice of the party through those
instructions, and render a reroiia accord
mg'g. y ~.
In conclusion at this time, on this sub
iect, we will repeat what We have before
affirmed, that'we are in the especial inter
est of no man, either directly or indirectly,
pledged TO use either private, personal, or
whatever influence this Journal may pos
sess for the purpose Of assisting toprccure
for him a nomination at the coming CON
ven;on. TIE aomia1e of He e5nreniion,
fcirly and A0noraJiy made, Is The candidate
of our choice and it matters not to US from
whence he may hail, whether from the Co.
lumbia river, the extreme north or the cen
ire. Neither "fear, favor or affection"
shall influence our columns for or against
any aspirant for the post of delegate, pen
ding the approaching convention. The
heighth of our ambition in this respect is,
that the party, north and south, stand firm
ly and unitedly together with the centre,
and that the deliberations Of the conven-
ton be conducted tremendously and ter
inmate satisfactorily.

the inhabitants Of both territories require
the country east of the mountains for 'iock

Willamette valley suffering the most SER

Waving further notice Of the many
absurdities contained in the above, as well
as in the body of the TriJHnes comments

marking that we presume our farmers and

MAIL SERVICE BY OCEAN STEAMER
Somerhat Encou0ging.-It will be seen
by the subjoined paragraph, which we ex-
tract from q letter Of Washington cor
respondent of the San Francisco Alta Cali
fornia, that our citizens may entertain a
Hring hope, thpt Congress, prior 10 its ad-
ournment, viii direct the Postmaster Gen
eral to carry into effect an act of the pre-
yious Congress, outhori.iRg mail service
between Puget Sound and San Francisco
1t will he known in few weeks whether
Congress has perpetrated any favorable
legislation for our Territory, or whether
the rights of our people, and We might say
the eristenee of our Territory, has been
ignored
"The bill Of last session. which is still pending
directing the Postmaster General TO contract for the
transportation Of the Mails from San Francisco to
Puget Sound in steamships, to touch ut all the inter
opinion Of the California delegation. The bill is
grardedy worded. It directs the Postmaster General
II It simply authorized him 10 contract It would
amount 10 nothng, as postmaster 6enefal Campbell
has much greater aptitude for embarrassing, than
facilitating the postal service of the country
1t would appear from the above, that it
has become necessary that the Postmaster
General be kicked into discharge of his
duty, and q recognition of the acts of Con
gress. Well, if the wishes of the people of
this Territory could be gratiied, President
BUCHANAN, after his Inauguration, would
kick him out of the cabinet, and so high,
that when he reached Terra yfrmG again, his
head would swim for the balance of his
natural life. The course of Mr.. CAMPBELL
as Postmaster General is almost uniycr-
sally complained of and after the 4th Of
March he will retire to private life, we
trust, politically, as far as national affairs
are concerned, to be forever forgotten re-
only as an er-Postmastcr Gen
eral, repudiated by the people for his mar
row-contracted parsimoniousness. We look
for better things for our Territory from
whoever may Be his successor.
