Opposition Meeting.

We publish today, (and there should
have been a resolution in the proceedings
to show that we do so by request, as such a
resolution was adopted), of what pnrports
to have been "a large and enthusiastic meet
ing Of the citizens Of 7Hurston county, fa-
rorable to The election of COL W. H. WAL
LACE, thc PEoPLE's candidate far delegate 10
Congress-" 5-c. As to its having been o
large meeting, We are informed-.we were
not present-that there were not to exceed
thirty-fve or forty persons in the room at
any one lime during the evening; the room
was not~very large-the meeting having
taken place in the one over the saloon Of Mr..
L. ENSIGN, and the single set of seats tina,
were paraded around it we're far from being
occupied That many more attended out
of curiosity, occupying the seats and stair
way, than participated in the proceedings,
is evidenced from the fact, that not to ex-
coed half a dozen persons, at any one time,
voted for any Of the motions or resolutions
offered The allegation of enthusiasm" "
is equally unfortunate, as in fact, with but
few exceptions, the stamping and cheering
was confined to the speakers themselves,
(four in number, as they were respectively
"trotted out" and back again. That it
was a meeting of the citizens "or ThurstOn
county" we reply, that if Olympia is Thurs
ton county, as the proceedings would seem
to assume, then it was Ifnot, then not
for we have authority for saying that not
one-half dozen voters were present from
the country.
The real object Of the meeting was to
harmonize the "sOre-headed" democratic and
oil other disaffected clements with the
black republican party, and to adopt meas
ures for the more thorough organization
throughout the Territory, to promote the
election of Col. WALLACE to the delegate
ship; as also, to get up opposition county
ard district tickets, generally, against the
regular democracy at the coming election.
And although OstenSi6iy it was "no,party'
meeting, but for local and special object,
, 1859-06-10

the principal speakers could not cover up
the disguise, or keep their feet out of M
tional politics, but indulged in 'shrieking"
for the "niggerP aud Wholesale abuse Of
the democratic purty-its principles-men
and measures-national and TERRITORIAL
Even SEWARD could not have desired a
more taeit endorsement. of his "higher-law,"
disunion sentiments of forcing the country
into being "eithsr entirely slare,hOldiHg na-
lion, or entirely a frse-labOr nation, /" than the
earnest to that effect given by most Of the
speakers. The meeting was regarded as a
most sublime 6zst, and we have too much
confidence in the intelligence Of the people
of this county to believe that they are in
favor of the election of the blaekrepublican
SEWARD, caucus candidate for delegate to
Congress, or that they can be otherwise
influenced in the coming election by the in
sane rantiDgs of such negro-worshipers as

convincing indications Of QuArtermASter General W.
W. MLLER, and Quartermaster Sergeant c. H. Arm

Treasury in bis report concerning debt. Their
straightforward statements speak for themselves ren.

u.s. entirely valueess. The reader cannot fail at once
to discover by perusal Of the defence Of each how
unjust and unounded the aspersions attempted to
be cast upon them by the official of the treasury allu

the same unctonary have informed that they would
also clear up their public record from attack from the
same quarter Believing that they fully able 10

reply was a mastery and telling speech,
abounding IN plain, substantial facts and
arguments. and at once convincing TO The
people
Thus fellow democrats Of the territory,
was the ball opened. We have a candidate
Of whom We may well feel proud, occupy
Ing, as be does. high position in the
hearts Of the people. His opponent, the
candidate Of ibe black republican, fag-ends

winter, Is certainly not The mnn to repre-

the nominee Of our party, as an influential,

cal, be would be bat ns n mole-hill 10 o

can pie-bald, speekled and spotted caucus
nominee is now merely carrying out the
programme laid down for bis guidance last
winter He says be IS an indepsadenl, and
not party candidate, and he comes before
Us advocating no principles at all without
il Is opposition to the democracy and by
taking this course he doabtlcsS expects to
catch all the floating and disafected vote Of
the territory. His speech here was more
Ct Tor the bowling Of GREELEY, in the New
York Tribune, than for the people Of this
territory. He certainly manifested poor
opinion Of the intelligence Of bis audience
IN the positions he assumed. The poorest
intellect could not fail to see that his OBJ
iect was to misrepresent, and to demagogue
and pettiiog the people out Of their votes.
Bot If he succeeds no better in other eoun-
ties than he will in little Sawamish, he will
have started out a fools errand aud will

An Indian Attack upon Light HSuSC
KeeDer,


Keeper.
Since the menace Of the indians upon
the Blunt's or Smiths Island lighthouse
mentioned last week, we have conversed
with a gentleman, direct from Port Town.
send, from whom we have obtained the fol-
lowing further particulars relative to the
affair. 1t turns out to have been a more
serions matter than we gave it credit of be-
ing last week.
IT appears that on the End inst Maj
VAN BoKKELIN received dispatch from
Mr.. j. X. APPLEGATE, assistant keeper Of
the lighthouse referred to, informing him
that two days previous, two shots were fred
at him by party of five or six northern
Indians, as he was passing one Of the win
dows in the tower; that he returned their
fire with two shots-wounding one of the
party, as he was afterwards traced by
blood to the beach; that they then made
of; that Capt. Vail, the keeper, and his
wife had returned; that two large canoes
were then in sight, and urging Maj. VAN
BoKKEIIN to hurry up reinforcements.
On receipt of this intelligence, Maj
HALLER, U. S. A, with his usual prompt
ness, chartered the bark Mary r. SLade,
which had just arrived from San Francisco
the day previous, and started a party of
twenty soldiers for the Island. The Maj
intended to visit the Island, in person, and
station file of soldiers there to protect
the light. He also intended to leave some
men on Whdby's Island.
The following is Capt. jones' version Of
the matter, upon which our statement of
last week was predicated. That on the
29th ult, whilst between Victoria and
Smiths Island, on board the schooner Car
Olinia, he met three large canoes filed with
Northern Indians; that as they passed the
schooner, he inquired Of them where they
were going to which they replied, ito
Smiths Island, to hunt ducks" that half
breed Indian, OH the schooner, informed
Capt j., that they were going on an err
raud of mischief; that upon receiving this
information, be pnt the schooner about for
the lighthouse, where he arrived just in
time to get the keeper, Mr.. VAIL, and his
wife on board as the Indians we're landing
the assistant, Mr.. APPLEGATE, prcferring
the risk of taking care Of the light; Capt
JONES then proceeded TO Port Townsend
where party Of Is volunteered for the
relief Of Mr.. APPLEGATE, and arrived at the
Island next morning, where they found
three canoe loads Of Indians, who, as soon
as they discovered the schooner, made off
in their canoes. Capt. Jones afterwards
encountered them, by sailing round the
Island, when they informed the party on
the schooner, that if they wanted to fight
they were ready. They had annoyed Mr.
ArPLEGArE oil night, wanting to get bin
out by pretending that they wanted water,
which be refused.
| s.. Since the above was in type, the Mary F.
Slide arrived here-discharged her merchandise and
started her return trip to San Francisco before
were able to Obtain any additional particulars. We
have made no further hostile demonstrations in that
direction

shipping, ete.-The steamer U'iison g. Hunt,
Capt BURSs, arrived at Olympia wharf direct from
Victoria, Semabmoo and intermediate ports at 81
o'clock on the evening Of the Sd nst with the U. S.
mail, freight and passengers. The British steamer
For1cOOd had arrived at Vietoa with papers brought
to San Francisco by the overland mail, containing
several days later news from the Atlantic States and
Europe. To the captain and purser Of the HiSOn @.
Hunt, Capt. Burns and Mr.. DANIEL b. FOSTER, we
are indebted for files Of San Francisco papers Of
June lst. Messrs. I. N. REED and &. F. WHIrwoRTH,
Of WELLS, FARGO 4 Co. and FREEMAN & Cos ex-
presses have Our thanks for late New York and st.
Louis papers. Capt. Cove aud Judge YANrIs also
have our thanks for late Victoria papers. The HunI
made the trip from Victoria to Olympia in II hours,
including stoppages at intermediate ports.
We regret to say that the press upon our columns
this week ha crowded out all mention of the news
the most important item of which is that general
in Europe seems inevitable and that this, in all pro
liability, active hostilties have commenced Ibetween
France and Austria.
But few vessels had arrived in Puget Sound since
our last report.
The news from Frazer river gold mines is anything
but encouraging. Hundreds Of miners arc leaving
Victoria for San Francisco upon every steamer.
P. .S.-Since the above was in type, the IPilsOn G.
Hunt has performed another round trip-returning
here at noon on yesterday with the U. s. mails. Capt
BURNS and Purser FOSTER have again placed us un.
der obligations to them for late Victoria papers.

to Mr.. H. X. WHITE for the following report for the

IndieatIons.-From oil directions, we are reeeiV-
ing the most encouraging assurances that not only
will Gov STEVENS be triumphantly elected a. our
delegate to Congress but that the different regular
democratc county tickets will prove generally sue
cessfu. This is no idle boasting, for effect but an
opinion which the arrival of every mail tends to con-
firm as a fact. " Large bodies move slowly" and
such being the condition Of the democratic party Il
but natural that little time should elapSe
before the masses could be properly warmed up to
realization Of the Importance Of the pending election
On the other hand the republican opposition being
limited in numbers, and the field Of its operations
confined to prescribed circle Of wire-pulers, sud
denly upon given signal from the "high priests"
the whole body ighited-became pillar Of fire.
by nights now luxuriating at the eliminating
point Of its enthusiasm and the by time the democracy
have become fairly aroused the opposition will have
run its brief career Of humbuggery and demagogpS-
ism and have winked" itself out. Since the AhvAsa
opened we have received letters from almost every
county in the territory giving assurances that "Al h

Oregon Space this week will permit to give
but few lines Of news from Oregon. Rumor has it,
(but we find 40 statement in the Oregon papers Of
the knd) that the legislature has adjourned without
eecting U. s. senator. 1t is also said that in the
democratic caucus of the members Of the legislature
Hon. DELAzoN SMITH was nominated for that position
by cHe majority. The Congressional election takes
pace on the the fourth Monday of june the 27th inst
