recent success in this county, we are credi-
bly, informed that paper is forthwith to
be established in Olympia, with a. view to
disseminating the true principles Of repub.
licanism, generally believed to be but i'm.
perfectly understood by the members Of
that party in this county. The leaders Of
that orga9jz&Non are known to be highly
incensed'at the irreconcilable variances ex-
isting among the several factions constitut-
ing the present republican party Of the ter
ritory, the inconvenience Of which, in the
many contradictions and disputes among
the tutors of that political order as to what
are, or what are not the doctrines of the
republican party, has been source Of seri-
Gus annoyance to candidates in the field in
giving catechistical answers to the plaipest
interrogatories For instance, whilst Judge
HAYS has published it as his opinion that
Congress has right to legislate upon the
ques ion of slavery in the territories,
(Which, of course, comedies the right Of
Congress TO establish or prohibit its intro
duction thereiR) though be doubts the er-
pediency of the exercise of that right by
Congress, the resolutions of the Chicago
Republican Convention unmstakably de,
clarcs it to be not only the right, but as
serts it to be the duty of Congress TO ex-
crcise that right, but, mark you, only con.
fers the power to prohibit its extension, for
reasons given therein and satisfactory, we
suppose, to themselves. To reconcile or
modify this platform, so as to have it coin
eide with the views of Judge HAYS in the
matter of the powers possessed by Con
gress, or curtail the same in the latter until
it agrees with the views Of the former, will
be the first duty Of "The Republican" 1t
will next deyolve upon that journal to Sc
cnre a recognition, by Congress, of the
right Of the people Of territories to legislate
upon the question Of slavery, power now
denied it, unless, we suppose it be to pro-
hibt power declared by that convention
to be vested solely in Congress, bnt onlv for
lis erelmsion. To admit the power to vote
mo" on this question, does not concede
the rigM or power to vote Eyes" This
would SAVIOR too much of Doughsism,
hcresy not to be endured in members of the
republican party. To ferret out such, aud
prevail upon them to adjure this heretical
Douglas dogma, will all devolye upon the
political class-leader who is to preside over
the destinies of ".The Republican" The
resolution man Of the republicans of Thurs
ton county has planted his party firmly up
on this platform; its late convention unani-
monsly adopted the same, and it is not to
be expected that the republican party of
Thurston county will consent TO forsake or
change their platform, not even for the
sake Of harmonizing with the Chicago reso-
lutions. Upon the quill" of "The Repub-
lican will also devolve the duty Of proving
that Pacific railroad is alone and solely
the darling measure of the republican par
ty, and see to it that not the least credit
of its early construction shall rebound to
their opponents. Also, when its political
presiding elder shall have clearly shown
the vast advantage to accrue to the people
Of the Pacific coast from the passage Of its
hobby measure-the homestead bill-by
Congress, under the condition Of a five
years' residence upon such homestead, then,
not till then, may we hope to be enlightened
as to what are the true principles of the
republican party of Washington Territory
The name df the enterprising foster
father" of the contemplated journal has
