We have also discharged our duty to the l"o-
pie of this Territory and the Administration
at Washington. hy condcnning the acts Of
Government officers where we believed them
to he wrong, without regard to personal con-
sequences Ia oursclf While We have not
panicuIorIy crnsurcd our Postmaster for re-
fusing TO grant the request preferred by every
Government official then in Olympia, together
will, other prominent friends of the Govern
mcnt, to refuse to deliver that base trcasona-
bic sheet, and thus declare TO the world de-
termination not to aid in the circulation Of
paper that glories in giving aid and encour-
agement to the rebels, by every means in its
power; still We did feel called upon to cx-
press the opinion that our Postmaster omght
to have complied with the earnest request of
his most prominent and loyal friends rather
than the wishes of the Adrcrtiser and it's pa
irons, and, for having done this, it seems we
have lost the patronage Of one of our extern
sivc merchants, rcry near ncigh6or of our
Postmaster.
We feel assured that our course, in this par
ticular, will meet the unqualified approval of
the Administration, as we believe it does of
every Government officer and honest Rcpub-
lican in the Territory.
We would suggest to our mercantile neigh
Dor that we have never made it condition
of our dealings with him or anybody else,
that they should think just as we do, and
give expression to the same opinions of men
and measures; but in the present condition of
the country, however, we do require that they
shall by the Use of means in their power aid
the Government in putting down the rebellion,
and, with this assurance Of their loyalty, we
care not how widely they differ with us upon
other subjects. But if our ncighbor is dis
posed to apply different rule to us, and our
friends, he will not, Of coxrse, complain if the
same rule is applied to him. The game he
intends to play will not be all on one side, as
may be supposed by him.
