The selections made by the democracy in
tho counties Of Lewis and Jefferson are
equally fortunate, and we learn that the
conventions nominating them were largely
attended, and their deliberation happily
and satisfactorily concluded Messrs.
HOLDEN JUDsoN and JAMES 7. PmLLIPs,
nominees in Lewis for representatives, are
well and favorably known to the citizens Of
this county, as also in which they are can
didatsS. As citizens, they are industrious
and highly intelligent farmers, and as dem
oerats are above suspicion-unwavering
foes Of prescription and intollerence-of
''kinky-hair equality, aud "oWl" and "bat"
Americanism. We do not know, indeed,
that the party there will have an opposition
ticket to contend against at all. The nom
ination for Councilman, for the counties Of
Lewis and Chehalis, we learn, takes place
tomorrow.
The democracy Of Jefferson county have
Ito use the expression Of one Of their citi-
zons, "put their best foot foremost" in the
nomination, to the legislature, Of Mr.. G.
W. DYER, late a lieutenant on the revenue
cutter Jstg Davis He is a true blue +"
Maine democrat, in whom there is neither
"variabeness nor shadow Of turning" He
is death on all the patent political nostrums,
isms, and herasies Of the day; and should
an opposition nag be trotted out against
him, we will miss our guess II he does not
show up the beauties Of "kinky hair" as
exhibited through "dark-lantern trans
parency, to the Wincing and political
''SOOliOpiHg" Of the "Wooley heads" there
abOuts. The position which he lately re-
signed in the revenue service, is a sufficient
guarantee as to bis intelligence and ability.
Fellow-democrats Of Washington The
recent discovery Of ON extensive gold-bear-
ing region to the northward-in our own
Territorial and in the British possessions,
has already foreshadoWed the dawning Of o
new era upon this portion Of the Pacific
coast Let US meet the approach of other,
and OfSastly different days from those that
characterized the past, under the auspices
and asceDdaney of the democratic party
Let it not be said that Washington Terri
tory, after having been brought into exis-
tencs, and rocked in the cradle Of democra-
cy-adhering with fervent tenacity to the
cherished principles Of the democratic par
ty, throughout infancy and childhood, did
so but to fall into the embrace of black re-
publieanism when about to be endowed
with the vigor Of youth and strength Of
manhood. As the new order of things ap-
proaches-as the WaVes-the elements Of
revolution which are brought within our
borders upon the arrival Of each steamer
from San Francisco upon our waters, ad-
Vances, let us be prepared to march out to
meet it, shoulder to shoulder, under the
good old time-honored democratic banner
and 50 mutually reconstruct and permanent
Iy establish the foundation of the party up
on such q. basis, that its dominancy may be
perpotuated through ages to come-that
''tho gates Of hell may not prevail against
|n.n
P. S. Since the above has been put in
type, we have received intelligence from the
Columbia river by which we learn, that, on
the 9th inst, the democracy Of COwlitz and
Wakiakum met in convention, and nomina-
ted for joint representatives of those coun-
ties Mr. JoHN CAruN, of Covlitz, and Mr.
CHARLES Mccall, of Wakiakum. We feel
assured that the democracy in that locality
will elect them by triumphant majorities. -
Mr.. Mccall is represented as uncompromi
singly attached to the principles Of the dem
ocratic party, aud we knOlO Mr. Catlin to
be young man Of more than ordinary prom.
ise-possessed Of excellent sound sense and
good Judgment, with the accompaniment ol
large fund of valuable information, prac
teal, and otherwise, upon almost every sub
ject He is a son Of our territorial Sage
Of Monticello" and would belle his origin
and parentage did he prove to be aught else
than firm, and steadfast democrat, hon.
est, competent and faithful to the constitu-
ton"
