Letter from the "Suge Of Monticello"
MONTICELLO, Dec. 25, 1850

Editor Pioneer aud Democrat -
DEAR SR:-I have received a number o.
communications on the subject of the re-
moval Of the Capitol aud take this method
Of answering them all, if you will be kind
enough to give it publicity. When the
Sound country, and the adjoining counties
were so kind and disinterested as to volun.
tarily give Us the Capitol, it was with q
great deal Of selfdenial We could refuse il
for it would certainly he much more conve.
nivnt for Us 10 transact our public business
at Vancouver than Olympia. But such a
remarkable and sudden change of disinter
ested benevolence set us to thinking Of the
effect, the cause, and the motive, and see il
there was not ''cat in the meal tub" II
was urged by those opposed to the measure
that it was TO break down the Democratic
party. But we thought if measure is just
and right in itself, and for the public good
aud its effect is to break down a parry
that the party must be wrong, and the
sooner it is broke down the better; so we
laid aside all party considerations and con,
slider the public good alone.
While any measures local in its nature
aud influence, it should be so located that
the greatest number may partakc of its
benefits or burden; that is: it should be as
near central as possible to the population
Now, il the representation in the Legsla.
lure is any indication Of the population, the
Sound and contiguous counties have two
thirds-and sec by II new apportionment
bill, that they continue to have the same
proportion Of representation. Then if
am right in my proposition. (Which think
no one will controvert) it indicates uner-
ringly where the Capitol should be, and that
it is in the right place; and whether bur-
den or favor, should remain where it is
unless the object is to put it on wheels and
move it to oil parts Of the Territory, so
that each may share its effects But would
that be policy, or promote the public good?
We have an example Of that in Oregon
They moved The Capitol from Salem to
Corvallis. and commenced the session at the
latter place The Secretary, under instruc.
, 1860-01-13

Now to sum up. Start from any given
point on the Pacific and you can wend your
way, by the only true natural rOnte, 10 Port
land by steamer, or direct TO Vancouver
The latter place possesses a genial climate
free from big trees-good water, fine citi-
zenS. intermixed with polished ladies. They
have lager beer manufactures, and pota-
toes, rye, oats, corn, barley, and plenty Of
meat. They have plenty of good jobbing
houses, where boots, shoes and clothing for
the multitude eau be furnished in as good
order, as cheap, if not cheaper, than Stella
COON itself; besides putting you on steam,
er that will take you to the Lower Cas-
cades, distance of As miles from Port
land, on the Columbia. A railroad of about
one and one-half miles can be either walked
or ridden over; you then take from the Up.
per Cascades the steamer again, which
lands you 40 miles higher up-you then
have arrived at the Dalles; from thence, a
portage Of Is miles over a good open prai
rie road lands you at Des Chutes, where II
steamer or schooner will land passengers
at Old Fort Walla Walla or at the Priest
Rapids, about 90 miles; you are then in
about two or three days easy travel of the
FL Dorado of the Similkameen." BE not
alarmed. No scalp are taken no bodily
injury received; aud you all are on the
ground with your provisions by about a
year earlier than the Sound man. Plenty
of good horses can always be found on the
congenial plains Of Walla Walla.
Gen. Palmer last June started from tue
town Of Dalles with train Of heavy loaded
OK teams, and Travelled over the road to
the 0kanagan and Similkameen country oil
IL road that man, save by nature, has never,
from the old Hudson's Bay fort WalIa
Walla, lifted spade or shovel to grade
and clean out. Mr. Rheigart has estab-
lished ferry at the only bad passing point
on the Okanagan river. Lieut. MuIlan,
and other systematic gentlemen, can vouch
for the accuracy of good unobstructed
road, and free from Indians. Gen. Palmef
has also carried up several very large pack
TRANS to the Fraser river country with
equal success over the same road.
like to forgot man can travel oil
alone from the Dalles, via Des Chutes, eth
er by road, or on steamer or sailing craft
The steamer Col. Wright will, by the time
it is fit travelling season, be cordeled above
Priest Rapids, and will take you to Kittle
Falls if you wish. If you do not like that
route, you can get off at old Hudson's Bay
fort Walla Walla and 80 up to the town
of WailIeptu, mile from the new post
which is about thirty miles over good
wagon road; you then have q good road
for oil practical purposes to the Similka
meen mines, only about three days travel,

tain King called James, who ruled over
great land afar of, sent his mighty General
Winfield to allay a great tumut that baJ
arisen relative to great continent called
San Juan. Now therefore this act OF Kiug
James and General Winfield caused great
resolution TO be introduced, by which lbs
world was shown from whence all diplo.s
matte power is derived, and King james
and General Winfield are taught not to in.
terfcre and act without the advice, consent
and aid of this vast assembly. For it il
written, woe be unto the man that raise,

thereof.

further doings Of this vast assemblage is

Editor Pioneer and Democrat:-
\ notice in the columns of your last issus
Il smart little retort of the Hon" VIII
Wood, Of Pierce county, in reply to the re.
port of the proceedings of the Democratic
Caucus, held Immediately prior to the or.
ganization of the House, as published by
Mr.. Shead, Of Thnrston, and certified to by
Doct Willard, who was chairman Of the
Caucus. 1t appears that there is q ques-
ton Of veracity between these two gentle.
men us to what did actually transpire in
said caucus, aud an Outsider" is led to the
belief, thereby, that none of them seemed
to know exactly what they did, or what
they wished done, unless he was "posted:p
however, it is fair to presume that some.
thing iras done, and something left undone,
thereby creating "udeaum" Now wish
simply to state to my friend Shead, that
know Of no man better capable OF supply,
ing that vacuum" than the gentleman from
Pierce, as the fact has become notorious.
that there is not another member in tie
House who is possessed Of more rauneies
than he isl Shaffer, Of Chehalis, not
excepted consequently, you Do not, per.
hups, see his design. 1t seems, too, that he
has affirmed his statement upon "Holy
Writ"-(God forgive him for tbe-sacri-
lege.) Query:-Is mans oath to be be-
lieved when taken upon the Bible, if the
person taking the oath does not know what
the Bible is ? or, does on assertion-"as
true as Holy Writ"-cause undoubted be-
lief, when it is known that the person max
ing the assertion, does not know what is
contained in Holy Writ?
But Mr.. i.ditor, think that this dis.
crepancy between these two gentlemen
arises from desire on one SIDE to misrep-
resent, and on the other to tell the truth
that is: Mr. Wood wishes to mislead, while
Mr.. Shead wishes to direct Gright, THIS
being the case, it is easily seen how the
discrepancy arose. Mr.. Wood being one
of the Gopher (aaiiy," it is to be expected
that he would have desire to underaine and
hide from view his real intent and purposes,
while Oh the other hand Mr.. Shead is de-
sirous Of digging the gentleman up and ex-
posing him to the light. Well, | think
see tile gentleman, and he has quite long
Preamble" attached TO him which hope
nobody will tramp on. Verify, Mr. Wood
has immortalized bis name-HA ia la

LIEUT.. MUILAN-From the DaLies Jour
nal we learn that adViees from Lieut.. Mul-
lan's expedition have been received up to

Missouri, and reached point about mid.
way between Fort Walla-walla and Fort
Benton 1t is the. intention of Lieut.. N.
to spend the winter months on the walters
Of the Bitter Root River, during which
time he also designs giving special atten-
ton to the depth Of snow at many points.
Still later news received, (up to the SSd
of Now informs US that the road party
had been overtaken in the Bitter Root
mountains by snow storm, from which
many animals had perished, and the men
were frosted by the severe cold. The snow
was eighteen inches deep, covering all the
grass from the animals, and still falling.
The ADVANCED party had reached the Bit
ter Root river, three hundred miles from
Fort Walla-walla.

NhANAER VA
1t came to pass in the seventh year Of
the history of this nation, and on the fifth
day Of the twelfth month of the year, that
there assembled together at certain great
city called Olympia, oil the law-givers and
great men Of the nation, even the judges
thereof And it is further written Of this
vast assemblage, that none other such had
ever assembled even in the history of the
nation, and that the great intellect and
beauty thereof caused all the maidens to
sigh and desire to join them and accompany
them even to the end of life And it came
to pass that this vast assemblage became
divided into three great tribes: one from Il
rich land many leagues South, and that
this tribes name was Chuckiehead-and one
tribe resided in the center Of the world
aud its name was Fin6dck; and this tribe
had powerful king called WILLIAM and
the third tribe lived in the North, along the
shores Of mighty seq containing great
fishes which tribe was called the Watson
Family. And it further came to pass on
the third day of the meeting Of the assem-
blage, that the Chuekleheads and Watson
Family united and became as one man, and
elected young and beautiful Prince of the
South to be made orator and it is written
of this yonng Prince that his beauty was
so great that the old ladies Of the city for
bade their daughters visiting the Assem-.
blago for fear they would fall in love with
the Prince.
And it came to pass after the election of
the Prince, that there was great rejoicing
among the Chuekleheads and Watson Family
by reason of their triumph, and great was
the waste of wine on that occasion. And
it is further written that there was great
wailing among the Finbaeks, and that they
cried aloud, "eHehered euehcred euchered p
And it is further written Of the noble
Prince Of the North who had aspired to the
moderatorship, that he calmly gave up the
fight, aud said if he could not be Lord
he would be q Tenant. and that he now
labors daily for the good of the great ma
ton, and that his beauty is even greater
than the Prince Of the South by reason Of
bis black eyes.
And it came to pass after this great
collection had started giving laws to the
nation and Strengthening up the world, that
in the midst OF the fair city of Olympia
there existed a certain clique of evil design,
and that this clique was of the tribe OF
FIn6aeks Aud it is further written that
the other tribes believed this clique ruled
the land and must be demolished, and King
WILLIAM must be beheaded. Aud it fur
ther came 10 pass that the tribes of the
North and those of the South got great
cable called popular sentiment, and tied il
to the South end of the fine house in which
the vast assemblage met, and cried aloud
that to break up this clique aud behead
King WILLIAM, they were going to haul
this great building, with all its splendor,
to great and mighty city Of the South
called Vancouver. And it is further writ.
