| Vancouver. Walls-walla is too low down
If population is to prevail, it can never bt
safe until you have a majority that you car
depend on, whose interests are the same
If the Sound is sincere in giving you the
Capital, they should have given you an ap
portionment that could control it. Ecr,
liberty is never srfo whilo yea ore in fettsrs
If the Capital is injurious 70 towns on the
Sound, it will be equally injurious to toza;
on the Columbia II it i5 iDjGEicUs to
Claim and jefferson ccIntioS, why not to
IWhatcon. II i. is an eTil cad e Nuisance,
I think on Salmcn river, among tie Ter.
mons, would be an excellent location. II
it is Q good, you c-7rct expect 70 coltrol
it against :najsrity of tho pcoFla.
In the tine of Jeckson's administration,
Col. Web was one Of tho iouAest Gavle7s
for Jackson, and against TIE Bank. His
rockcts got rather light. A minion of the
Bank hinted to him that ho could get
mercy Of the Bank He slipped bis foot
in the trap, was accommodated with a loan
Of City thc sand doi!Gg9. All feir busi-
ness transaction IS a matter Of coIrGe -
IEo Col soon becaE;e Convinced that Jack

Now Clarke county is extremely anxious to
get her foot in the trap; the bait is %
tempting s,io cant refuse it; end then
judge Chenoweth, Col. Wallace, Mr.. Den
ny, .Ir. Hewitt, or soi-e other good man
Oil the SbGal, would be tho best democrat
10 the w0rld-borh 4 democrat, sucked
Cemocratic milk, ard reared q democrat;
end Gov Stevens would be 40 imbecile old
tyraut-e black republican, know-noth-
ing, and anythiIS but clever fellow; and
il the people Of Clarke county we're not con-
Tinced Of that fact, away wonld 60 the
Capital IN fair business transaction as
matter of course. If am correctly ia.
formed, tho measure did not receive 4 single
vote in the Sound country, except disafiect-
ed democrats and black republicans
class Of democrats who wish TO rule or ruin.
They give you the Capital, but hold entire
control over it.
Now, sir, in support, Of ny views, we
have the testimony of the PEga Sound
H,ralFs correspondent, who, l suppose, il
at the Capital, and understands all the
wire-working Of the measure: ,"The nm
trtmmeled democracy of both brsDches,
are fully deterMiDed TO use ell hSnjrable
measures to destroy and rend into frag-
ments an obnoxious manecratic clique that
live and have their being in and around the
present seat OF government; a set Of spoil
seeking and political iutriguers that have
held, since the election Of their God and
Master 10 a seat in Congress, absolute con
troll over the political affairs Of our Terri
tory. Honorable members Of the demo-
cratic party-men standing firmly upon the
Cincilnatti platiorm-because they choose
not to worship at the shrine of Isaac / .
Stevens, have been cut of from all political
preferment, their claims utterly ignored,
aud we hear on every hand that they are
classed as "bolters and sore-heads," aAd arc
only fitted for (as this conclave is pleased
to say Of them,) the black republican
camp" Nov sir, you see who your sup
porters are, and what their views and OBJ
jects are, aud if you take the bribe, you
must fulfill the contract. lam aware there
is no bargain made, it is oil fair business
transaction; so was Col. Webb's with the
Bank If you don't want to feel the screw,
you must toe the mark. Now If the views
and objects Of the "bolters aud sOre-heads''
and blacks are sincere aud honorable, then
it is all right; if not, you can find their
names on your journal.
A word as to local interest down the
Sound. How does it happen that every
locality that is represented by Black, OF
disafected or uRtrammeled democrat, (that
is: one that is not governed by the rules
and usages Of the party, voted fer the bill,
and every one that is represented by a
democrat, voted against. Then again, the
same locality differs in the different houses,
according to the politics Of the different
representatives. To the north Of the CAPT
tai, the untrammeled democracy aud blacks
form one party in all political questions
all went for the removal, all the democrAtl
against it. Hence, in the north, it is con
sidered political question. South, botE
parties went for the bill, hence, in tn,
South, it is local question. But tht
South is not lacking of faction similar Il
that in the North, who desire to "deStroy
and rend in fragments the obnoxious" dem
ocrstic party. Now, sir, il the "cat il
dead" it is because the Capital rat is killed
