readily agree with Us, that as eommander-inchiei Of
our territorial volunteer service-Whose name is af
fixed to all the scrip issued during the war-who Is
Thoroughly familiar with the character Of every
branch in which service was performed, whether gen
era, special or ndividaal-in view Of these facts
submit whether or not Of natural necessity, Gov.
STEVENS Is not likely to know infinitely more about
the details Of the debt than COL WALLACE, or any
other one man in our territory. What does Col WAL
LACE know about the war debt or what explanation
could be make on the floor Of Congress- or elsewhere
concerning any details Of it, without making refer
ence % the Sd Auditors report lhat report being
his textbook in this present campaign, is it not
likely that the next Congress will bring it up in ndg
ment against next delegate confirmation of its
correctness-as local question here in which, nu-
merically very respectable section Of the people
supported q candidate for delegate who impliedly
gave sanction to the correctness Of the report Of that
oHicerg It is a poor rule that will not work both
ways; and IL Mr.. GROVER was the right man in the
right place" for Oregon, upon the one question we
have referred to, Gov STEVENS is certainly the mau
for delegate for this territory.
Bot, say the opposition, Gov. STEVENS has served
one term in Congress and has accomplished moth
ing;'-tha "the next house of representatives will
probably be republican, and that hence Col. WAL
LACE would have influence N procuring favora-
bic legislation for US than would Gov. SrEvENs;"-
that Gov STEVENS is without influence at Washington
City, &C., &c.
In reply to the foregoing, we would call attention
to the fact that prior to the election Of Gov STEVENS
this territory has bad two delegates in Congress- and
that it their good fortune to serve the people at
a time when the United States was possessed of an
oyerowing treasury; that growing out Of the nscesS
ties Of territory at the time Of its creation, it nva
riably follows that more liberal aqd general appro-
priatons made for its benefit for the isrt few
years than subsequently. Thus, during the admins.
tion Of Mr.. PIERCE II larger appropriations were OBJ
tancd for u.s. than have been thus far granted under
the administration of Mr.. BccHAxAS, we can point to
an oyerfowng instead of a depleted treasury on the
hand, aadto the fact that government is invaria.
bly, the most liberal towards territories for the FIST
few years Of their existence. The election Of Gov.
STEVENS had scarcely been announced when news Of
the financial crash in the eastern cities reached these
shores-at boggaring the United States treasu.
~ and from the effects Of which the country has just
commenced recovering. Since that time, oil our
readers know that the government has been Obliged
