TERRITORIAL CoNnnTTEE.-The action of
the Territorial Central Committee, at their
late meeting in Olympia, in ignoring the
abstract issues that demoralized the party
in the Presidential campaign, was exceed
ingly wise and just, answering satisfacto-
rily the earnest hopes and wishes Of every
true democrat
Those points Of dissension never indeed
amounted to anything as a true cause Of
difference, and the only effect Of their ag-
itation will be, as it ever has been in every
local and State election, to divide and de-
feat us. 1t is humiliating thing for q
democrat to wear the badge Of any leader
when be goes to battle, not as the repre-.
sentative Of q principle, but as expressive
Of personal devotion to the cause of some
one man. Let the dead part then bury the
dead, and the war-cry of Douglass" or
Breckenridge" be forgotten.
Any ambitious leader who strives to gal
vanize these dead issues into life, in order
to keep himself before the people, or his
place in front Of . faction, will richly de-
serve political condemnation. One thing
is certain, il we unite we can gain the vic
tory; another thing is certain, if we divide,
we suffer defeat. The 18th day of next
May is designated as the time for holding
the Territorial Convention at Vancouver,
for the purpose of nominating democratic
candidate for the Congressional Delegate
ship.

A meeting of the Democratic Central
Committee Of Washington Territory was
held at Olympia, on Saturday, January
10Th, 1861.
Present: Samuel S. Woodard, Of Cheha-
lis, L. Van Vleet, proxy for Patrick
A'Hern, Of Clarke county, and J. ]. H. Van
Bokkelen of Jefferson.
On motion of L. Van Vleet, Esq, ]. ].
H. Van Bokkelen was appointed chairman
Of the committee.
On motion Of J. ]. H. Van Bokkelen, it
was decided that the apportionment of del
egates to the Democratic Territorial Con.
Vcntion should be two delegates to every
representative, as per apportionment bill Of
the Legislature of lS60-6l.
On motion Of Mr.. Van Vleet, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
ResOLred, That we urge upon the democ-
racy Of Washington Territory, that in their
election Of delegates 10 the convention, that
they use all exertions in the selection of the
same, to have the democracy fully and fair
ly represented.
On motion of ]. J. II. Van Bokkelen,
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolred, That in view of the existing
dangers to the Union, cansed by dissensions
in the democratic party on issues maintain
ed with less regard TO the long cherished
principles of democracy, than to individual
aspiralions-issues that have no practical
Importance in this Territory-that we look
alone to proper remedy, by the sustaining
Of those paramount principles that in the
past have elevated our common country,
now threatened to be degraded by disuniOn
and fraternal strife.
Your committee feel assured that every
democrat will now abandon the petty
quarrels that have divided our strength in
the late Presidential campaign, and 60
heartily into the work Of nominating and
electing q Delegate to Congress that is a
democrat in faith and work, and one true
to the interests of the Territory.
On motion of S. S. Woodard, it was Or
dered that the convention be called to meet
at Vancouver, on Monday the 18th day Of
May, A. D. 1861.
On motion Of L. Van Vleet, the chair
man was instructed to forward copies Of
the proceedings of this meeting to Warren
Cove, Of Pierce county, and Charles Plum
mer, Of King county, absent members Of
the committee, requesting their sanction Of
the same, and on receipt Of their sanction to
issue the call for the democratic convention
for 1861.
On motion Of L. Van Vleet, the com
mittee adjourned sine de-

b that the destinies Of the old world and

E~The Cincinnati Commercial cores

tion of Iverson's fiery speech in the Senate,
when he said that some "Brutus" would
arise and assassinate Sam Houston:
douglas sat scowling in his seat. South,
ern men looked COOL The Northern men
were calm and collected. Crittenden was
profoundly moved, and the galleries were
astounded. JEFF. Davis, in a quick, decis-
i've way, said be came as q Senator of the
United States. While there is yet no dec
laration of war against the States Of which
we are mere ambassadors, be would dis
charge his duty as Senator, and would say
nothing on the subject. Wigfall talked
Senators out Of their seats, but he said one
good thing. He said that he disagreed
with Hale. That Senator had said the
Presidents message was neither one thing
nor the other. Wigfall thought it both one
thing aud the other Salisbury, Of Dela-
ware, made an earnest and eloquent plea
for the Union, which was received with
thpnderS Of applause in the galleries. He
said Delaware was the first to come into
the Union, and would be the last to 90 out.
She would use all her power to preserve the
Union. The disunion speeches were re-
ceiyed in profound silence"

BURcHs LETTER.-We people on the Pacific coas
have been recently favored by the Hon. J. c. Burch
Of California now a member OF Congress, with let
ter in favor Of Pacific Republic. His ideas are rather
dreamy and he don't feed US on any facts and figures
entirely disregarding all such mnutin as square miles
population and taxes.
The production is very weak composed Of the same
kind Of material as Gen. Lanes letter on secession
mere assertion, without any weight Of proof.
1t Is stated by Mr.. Burch that 1t Is hoped and ex
peeted North and South that VIC will form q Pacific
Republic. We are sorry to disappolnt any expecta.
tiOns that may have been formed although we cannot
imagine upon what action Of ours the North and
South" could base such anticpatOns If our repsen-
tatves have thus misreprsented u.s. they will certain.

attend to the legitimate interests Of their constituents
and not attempt q solution Of questions Of govern
ment that only be settled by the people in their
primary sovereign capacity.
II our Republic would have nothing TO depend on
better than Mr.. Burch's appeal to the enlightened
nations Of the earh, its foundations would rest in
quicksilver.
The most Of US remember how the mighty nation
Of France took virtual possession Of the Sandwich Isl
ands because that poor weak state refused to take
their brandy and was only dislOdged by the emphatic
and protests Of other great powers

R9-A letter in the MoHntaineer, dated
Both November, from Fort Owen, in the
Bitter Root country, makes an earnest ap.
peal for protection against the Indians in
that vicinity,-within l6O miles Of the Fort
there are 200 to 25O lodges of Indians
The Palouse, Cour d'Alene and other tribes

are not to be trusted A petition has been
circulated, that the Commander of the De,
partment order troops there at the earliest
practical moment, but as all such things
must now be arranged in California, there
is no telling how long it will be before the
matter receives the proper attention; not
probably before some Of our citizens are
murdered.

The view Of affairs taken by our cores
pondeat Jefferson" is more hopeful than
anything thing else We have seen. This
gentleman has rare opportunities for obser-
walton, aud the manner in which be treats
his subject is second to none.
The date Of the letter, 18th December,
Is as late as anything could be written for
the Pony Express, and therefore gives the
very latest news at the Federal Capital.
We do not agree with this writer in all bis
views, but can recommend them as well
worthy Of perusal. He is no sensatiouist,
but gives his honest opinions, with no other
motive than q desire to be correct.
Il seems to US that it would be the best
thing'that could be done to call convention
Of the States, and then and there settle the
differences between those sovereign powers,
BY patriots fresh from the people, who now
see things as they are.
Experience has shown that the senators
and Representatives who were elected in q
time Of hot partiEan warfare, and upon is
sues that now would be ignored by both
sections, are incapable Of treating these
questions with patriotism or moderation.
We want this affair settled by the peo-
pie. not BY such bitter politicians as Wade
and Iyerson. whose vulgar and violent
ordinations are only worthy Of some insane
red republican.
TOombs. Of Georgia, has suddenly be-
come more conservative, and now It would
appear that be sought for constitutional
redress within the Union. We mast not
lose sight Of the fact that ToOmbs and
Cobb are political rivals, and it may be
that since Cobb has taken such strong dis
union grounds, TOOmbs fnds it necessary
on personal grounds to be in opposition.

Political Speaking.

Mr.. Garfelde delivered a2political speech
at the Capitol, Wednesday evening, on
squatter sovereignty. A speech on this
subject, either in favor or against it, at this
time, can only be a rehash Of the stale, fat
aud Improbable examinations and re-crim-
nations that defeated our party in the
Presidential contest For our part, we
are heartily sick, tired and disgusted with
the pros and cons Of the whole subject, and
cordially endorse the highest official demo
cratic authority on the subject-the central
committee-in their resolution, that such alb
stract doctrines "are maintained with less
regard to the long cherished principles OF
democracy than TO individual aspirations" !"
and that they are tissues that have no prac-
teal Importance in this Territory" These
sentiments ore good enough for us. The
speech was eloquent; but according 10 our
views, had not the least reference to any
living issue. The ingenious word.mechan-
ism SO elaborately wrought out, reminds US
of those curiously carved Chinese balls cut
within one another. We admire them as
curiosities, but regret that so much talent
and time is wasted on q labor that answers
no purpose Of use.
4 After Mr. Garfelde concluded, Judge
Strong vindicated the truth of history" in
a few remarks, defending himself from
charges that had been preferred against
him.
Subsequently, the "pensive public" made
loud and repeated calls for General Stone,
Judge Watson, "Furg," and others, but
the General kept what be knew closely to
himself, the big Gun of Spokane had a
cold, and the others were studiously reti.
cent in reference 10 the political issues of
the day, concealing their thoughts in q
deep silence. ~
The next speaker, if there is to be any
more political speaking, would do well to
deliver a careful production on the state of
the Union. A judicious treatment of liv-
ing issues and facts would be received with
eager interest.

ers Of Carter, not long since, came to Dew
ips Head, about eight miles from here, and
made settler there write TO Olympia about
them, at there dictation, they holding a
loaded gun at his head while be was wri.
ting. They stated that they wanted to
give themselves up, and would be back in
abOnt ten days for that purpose. First,
though, they wanted to communicate with
Capt. DeLacy, in whose employ one Of them
had been, for "they knew" they said, "that
be would speak right"
They stated also that old Phames was
dead. Messrs. Summers and Nixon went
to the Devils Head to get the Indians, but
they were not there, according to ngree.
ment. Carter, it has since been ascertained
was murdered while sitting on bis bed. Th,
murderers, two in number, sat one on each
side Of him, and at the same time, plunged
their knives into him. He was found dead
with bis eyes wide open, aud a pool OIL
blood beside him.
There has nothing yet transpired to show
that this murder was anything less than at
unprovoked act Of hostility on the part oi
the Indians against the whites.

D0- We find statement, in an opposi.
ton paper, that "there is no doubt but
that Gwin, Lane and Stevens" are trying
to get up Pacific Republic. We no not
believe that Senators Gwin and Lane favor
this, although it may be that they are Sc,
cessionists. As far as Gov Stevens is con,
cerned, we feel assured that the statement
is not SO, and as a simple act Of justice to
that gentleman, who is seven thousand
miles away, and has no opportunity to
even hear of these reports, we feel called
upon to deny it. He is a strong Union
man.
