only To read the editorial in his issue of Nov
! 2lst, headed "'Thc Portland .idrcrtiscr an,
the Olympia Postmaster 10 he satisfied Of
that subject. lie takes great exceptions I,
our denuncia,ions of the .Adreyfiser rs So
cession sheet, Whose daily vocation for month,
past has been to circulate the poison Of trca
son, under the hyPocriiical garb of a desire t,
bring abou, n peace on conditions that woult
fix upon every loyal citizen, both North and
South. lasrin. disgrace, besides rendering
our Government, the scorn and scoif Of tn,
who'll, civilized world.
To give our readers specimen o. his high
appreciation of the .idccrt,ar rhe editor oi
which, no doubt, prays night and morning
that G"'! will paral,zr the arm of the rrcs-
l,ni in his efforts to pu, down the rebellion
We quote the following paragraph from his
editorial:
1T is well known in Olympia and else
where on the Sound, that the .idrvt;s,r has
been frum the start the bc-i medium through
which to obtain current news, and To il hav.
our readers been mainly indebted for inielli-
gcncc Of the events TRANSPORTING in the Eas,
since the commencement Of this rebellion.
Not only has i, rendered this important ser
vice as an exchange, hut il has ever been the
most acceptable and popular of the Oregon
press among general readers here"
The scribblcr then goes OH to say that
"oficers of the army" were patrons of that
Unreasonable sheet" Now we do not hest
tate to say tina. any man who patronizes that
vile secession sheet, will be set down, both
here and at Washington, as of very doubtful
loyalty, and would not be trusted in position
where he might by any possibility give sub
stantial aid and comfort to the rebels; and we
are sure that the Government at Washington
would promptly remove from the public ser
vice any man who should be known rs a pa
tron of that paper, or who should give en-
ployment to any man that was.
We have expressed our opinion of the du-
ty which proper regard for the public safety
as well as the perpetuty of our Government
requires of our Postmaster, and if he is not
disposed to adopt our suggestion, but shall
prefer to act in accordance with the expressed
wishes and opinions of the -adrotiser and its
friends, it is his privilege to do so; and we
will not trouble him any further with oursug-
gestions or advice on the subject
PEACE MEN.-Joscph Holt, the noble Ken
lucky patriot, uses the following language of
that species of treason which invokes the Al
mighty to paralyze the efforts of the Adminis-
tration in putting down repetition: "These
men are, morally at least, guilty of the death
of those who fall in the defense of the Govern
ment, just as much as if they had met them
on the battle field. In your railroad cars.
upon your steamboats,, in your tlioroughfares,
in every social circle, disloyalty should be
branded and blasted MS leprous and loath-
some thing. And wherever You meet these
men, be it on change or in the social circle,
and they offer you their hands, look well to
them, for if you have the eyes which l have,
you will see that they are red with the blood
of freemcn, your kindred and friends, it may
be, who have persisted and are pcrshing still
upon the battle field. Turn away from them
with disgust and Indignation"
EFFECTS OF THOSE "APpLE DuMpLlNGs"
Steilacoom cditor said Il few
weeks ago that he was "ncver going to speak to
lis again." In order to break his good rcso-
luton, he assumes that Mr. Evans wrote our
last "lcader." For the benefit of those con-
ccrncd wc state that the gentleman referred
to has not written an article for this paper for
many months. We beg Of the Stcilacoom
man to diet while.
sV Prosch has made wonderful discov-
cry lie states it as fact that our Delegate
to Congress las racated his seat to attend the
remains of Col. Baker to their last resting
place. The noodle of course thinks that us
Congress is in session in January and De-
cembcr it must be in session the whole year.
