OLYMPIA WASHINGTON TERRITORY, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1858

troll the next Congress, strenuous efforts will,
as already have been made, to consolidate
for the race in go The Administration is
much stronger than it was few weeks ago,
and is gaining strength every day, and may
yet overcome sufficiently the effects of party
treason in the last Congress to secure the
next ; if so, the success of the party in 60,
is certain,
As you will learn from other sources, the
Governor has pitched into the Hudson's Bay
Company in very hadsome style ; and it is
owing to his able exposition of the illegality
of their exactions of American miners, that
decisive action was obtained from the Gov
ernment in the appointment of Mr.. JoHN
NUGENT a gentleman eminently qualified
and deserving of the important trust given
to him
STEPToE's defeat created great feeling
here, and our Indian affairs are receiving Sc
rious consideration by the proper officials,
and | doubt not some decisive and effective
policy will be adopted
The election in Kansas came off yester-
day, and there are no hopes expressed Of the
ouOp1iOh VI 1OSo1pIOh WIN OhV lduu OAuAh
ance, which | very much regret, as it may
operate against the admission of Oregon.
Kansas will not then be admitted until she
has population for representation, and Or
egon, not having it, doubts may exist as to
the propriety of her admission until she too
has the requisite population-particularly as
the Republicans will endeavor to form an
other constitution in Kansas, and ask admis-
sion if Oregon is admitted.
There is already a good deal Of specula-
tion rife as to how the emigration to Wash
ington is going to effect her political COM
plexion, as it is anticipated she will soon be
knocking at the door for admission.
Truly your friend, &c,
ONE OF YOU.

plies, and munitions Of war on the several
lines; that beyond this the general gov
ernment should not go; that with this aid,
the whole undertaking should be left open
TO the free competition Of our railroad ge-
nious and enterprise, and that it should be
emphatically the work of the people, and
not Of the government Of the country.
ReSolred, That line of military posts
should be established for the protection of
the northern route In which connection,
it is worthy of mention that the great
rivers of this route, the Missouri and Co.
lumbia, furnishes the means of supply by
steamers. The mouth Of the Yellowstone
and the Great Falls of the Missouri, on the
former river and Fort Walla-walla and
Fort Colville on the latter, are points at
which large posts are Indispensable; and
these are probably the only points at which
large posts are required west Of the State
of-Minnesota, as far as the main Columbia.
The intermediate country can be held by
movable troops operating from these posts,
according to circumstances.
Resolred, That in view of the fact that
the discovery of gold fields in the British
possessions on Frazer river, and the estab-
fishing Of the colony of British Columbia,
will insure rapid settlement of that re-
gion; and in view also Of the fact that steps
have already been taken for the survey Of
a railroad route through English territory,
from Canada to the Pacific, it behooves our
government to be up and doing, and to ex-
tend to our people such aid in grants Of
land, &c, as will enable them to push
line of road through our own territory to
this northwest coast, to the end that the
commercial supremacy Of the Pacific may
be insured to our nation.
ResOlred, That our delegate in Congress
be requested to urge the passage of an act
granting lands to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, incorporated by an act
of the Legislative Assembly of Washington
Territory, passed January 2Sth, 1851, The
Legislature of Washington Territory hav-
ing, by said act Of Incorporation, granted
the right Of way through said territory.
Which preamble and resolution, on mo-
tion of Edmund Sylvester, ESQ., were unani-
mouSy adopted.
On motion of A. J. Moses, said commit
tee on resolutions were continued as an Ex-
ecutive Committee, to call a future meeting,
if deemed best, and were instructed to pro-
cure speakers to address said future meet
ing.
On motion the Secretary was instructed
to furnish the proceedings of this meeting
for publica tion in the PIONEER AND DEMO
Graf.

am not ld,-I cannot be old,
Though threescOre years and ten
Have wasted away, like tale that is told,
The lives Of other men:
am not old; though friends aud foes
Alike have gone to their graves,
And left me alone to my joys or my woes,
As rock in the midst Of the waves:
am not DID, cannot be old,
Though tottering, wrinkled, and gray;
Though my eyes are dim, and my marrow is cold
Call me not old to-day,
For, early memories round me throng,
Old times, and manners, and men,
As / look behind on my journey 50 long
OF threescore miles and teni
look behind, and am once more young,
Buoyant, and brave, and bold,
And my heart can sing, as Of yOre it sung,
Before they called me old.
do not see her-the old wife there
Shrivelled, and haggard, and gray,
Bot look on her blooming, and soft, and fair,
As she was on her wedding day.
do not see you, daughters and sons,
In the likeness Of women and men,
But kiss you now as 1 kissed you once,
My fond little children then;
And, as my own grandson rides on my knee,
Or plays with his hoop or kite,
can well recollect l was merry as he
The bright eyed little wight
IT'S not long since,-it cannot be long,
Ny years SO soon were spent,
Since was boy, both straight and strong,
Yet now am feeble and bent.
A dream, dream, 1t is all dream!
A strange, sad dream good sooth;
For old as am, and old as ] seem,
My heart is full Of youth;
Eye hath not seen, tongue hath not told
And ear hath not heard II sung,
How buoyant and bold, though it seem to grow old
Is the heart, for ever young.
For ever young,-though liie's old age,
Hath every nerve unstrung;
The heart, the heart is q heritage
That keeps the old man young

WIDOWS Poor things for the best
wife in the world may be q widow, and no
fault Of hers-are subject to all manner Of

fines widow as 'one who knows what's

the subject Saucy observation.
