delegate from this territory, and with that
slop to his friends in Iowa, he is greatly
mistaken. We do not calculate TO take
such nm explanation as the foregoing of Il
no-party mans platform and intentions
We would quite as soon have faithful,
industrious, clear-headed man that we have
tried, as to risk "grecnhorn" man such
as he represents himself to be, who, We
think, lacks Il sufficient amount of energy
and tact to even gain clear case before
n common Justices court, one time out OF
ten, if he has to face any opposition
Why, sir, does he suppose that the intelli.
gent voters of Pierce county are going to
give their votes to man who can hatch
up no better explanation Of his position
than the foregoing, and whose only quail
fcation is that of clever story-tclIcr and
mimic ? Sir, such faces and mouths and
contortions of body you propabIy have
never seen, as was made by this no,party
man in his fete before crowd Of several
hundred persons in this place last Satur,
day. | suppose lie thought he could not
convince their judgment, so he would take
their fancy. He succeeded very well, so
far as the children und greenhorns" were
concerned, in the latter +; but failed, so far
as the votes Of Pierce county are con
cerned, very signaly in the former. Aud,
sir, if he supposcs, after bis foregoing ex-
plantations, that this county will give him
anything like the support it did Aber
nOthy, he is greatly YdeceiVed, Tor We under
stand him too well| down here We are
aware that he has but small sprinklug
Of this worlds goods in this territory and
the probability is, to say nothing about his
own explanations, that he would never re-
turn to this territory il he was once elected
to Congress and further, if he should go,
he woud say nothing there only ''et ceier0," !"
which word he used in his said speech God
only knows how many times, for nobody
else could have kept count.
| expect this weeks issue Of our Chamel-
ion editor will try to fix up the no-party
mans eff'usion Of last Saturday, but it will
not go down in this quarter. Oar editor
is also too well known. He is the mau
who moved all Steilacoom, if he did not
the heavens and earth, to organize a city
government, and after nearly consummu-
ting his object, turned in with the fag ends
of the place and assisted in its defeat. In
a like manner he is dealing in politics.
Quite lately he said to different persons, at
different times, that his paper was pledged
to the support of the interests Of Washing
ton Territory, and consequently he should
have to support the present nominee of The
democratic party for our next delegate
But 10! and belIold! what do we hear him
say now2 Those fifty campaign subscri-
bers from Island county obtaIued by an
ex;judge, speaks loud as to the cause Of
his having shifted sides. think the
model editor had better stop talking about
bribery in Oregon and look q little nearer
home.
Mr.. Editor, hoping that the great and
good principles Of the democratic party,
which are opposed to sectionalism, fauati
cism and prescription, may be well consid-
cred . the free and independent electors
Of this territory before they poll their
votes next July, | will close this commu
nicaton, which | have already made much
longer than | intended when [ commenced
penning it.
Respectfully yours,
ELECTOR.
