Their WeaDOBs.

Never we said last week, within the brief period
Of our territorial existence do we believe has there
been such complete Organization OF inscriptions
aspiring politicians been banded together coveuented
for the overthrow of the democracy Of the territory
than that which at present directs the affairs Of the
opposition. We are of opinion that not even the
know-nothing order, which expired four years ago
could possibly have had its modes of attack SO well
ystematized, its drill perfect and its field exer
cises 50 fautless, as have the opposition managers
and wirepullers in the present campaign. 1t may al
most be said to be contest between political aspi
rants, disappointed ofceseekers. and the Masses o.
the democratic party. We have 1t from good outhori
ty that their plans Of operation were concocted here
last winter, when it was determined by the leaders
that the republican party Of two years ago. should
for the time being, ignore that name that they
were promised the cooperation, the aid and com
fort Of a few Unaffected democrats, in the bringing
out Of any for delegate, regardless Of his polt
cal antecedents as an Independent candidate against
Gov. STEVENS, provided he should receive the nom
nation;--that Col. WALLACE was considered the most
apaiiabe candidate, inasmuch he, having been beat
two or three times for that position would be better
calculated than any other after defeat to again play the
lphilosopher;-tla thus was the nomination made IN
secret caucus for the sole object Of breaking down
Gov. STEVENS and some Of his supporters. And nov
we have this caucus candidate verifying in part the
truth Of the foregoing by proclaming from the stump
that "he is not the candidate Of the republican party
noof any other party" that "he is not the creature
OF any convention" that he Is not tied down to any
platform of principles but that "hs occupies the high
position Of being the Independent candidate of the pso

become candidate, except the "one-horse" eaueu,
to which we have alluded, and those with whom IT
correspondent Such are the people" of whom be ia
the candidltel
Bat as we have before said, the opposition are thor
oughy organized, and under training of experienced
drill sargeants; and it becomes the democracy to be
stir themselves and be prepared to meet and coun
teract the one-thousand and-one "rOorbacks" which
it to be expected will be cOncocted in the camp
the enemy during the campaign. Their mode Of war
fare has been distinctly chalked out, and the pro
gramme is that they to keep up constant series o.
attacks without stopping to make any defence;-pri
Vate chara fer-reputatOn is to he assailed-an in
cessant outpouring Of Misrepresentation are to bt
made;-a constant cry is to be kept up that WAL
LACE is bound to be elected '-this will be done Il
intimidate, and catch wavering votes;-every efor
will be made to ALLEVIATE members from the democrat
ic party-to create indiUidai bitterness and strife
induce dissentons in our ranks and, If possible. st
up general mutiny. As evidence OF the CORRECTNESS
OF at least portion Of the foregoing see two comm
ncations in the May 27th, also the "INPRNATURE'
article in the last number of the Puget Sound Herald
The review Of the actual proceedings Of the territora
oe1ycnton is incorrect in every essential particular
