Republican Territorial Convention.

< Territorial 6onvrttie,t- Will be held the
Town of Olympia. on MONDAY, MAY 20, 1851,
for the purpose of nominating a REPUBLICAN CANDr-
DATE FOR DELEGATE TO CONGnRss, to be supported
ct the general election. on the second Monday. OF
July next. The basis Of spportionment adopted is
two delegates for each Representative in the Ter
~ritorial Legislature, according to the arportion-
mcnt of 1861. but securing to each county at least
one delegate in the said Territorial Convention.
This will slightly increase the number of delegates
above sixty. but will secure q more general repre-
scntation of sentiment. The respective counties
WILDE entitled to the following number ofdclcgates
Whatcom 2, ! Island ,. Snohomish l, Clallam 2,
Jefferson !, kitsap .. King 3, Pierce D Sawamish
2, Thurston s, Lewis .. Chcllalis ?. Cowlitz ,, Pa
cifc ., Wahkiakum, !, Clark 8. Skamania !,
Clickatat |. Walla Walla s. Spokane 2, Missoula
!. Shoshonc /.
The committee agreed that S:wainish was cnti-
tied to a member of the Legislature, and have
therefore given to that county the Representa-
ton to which she isjustly entitled.
Republicans are urged to perfect their county
organizations at once, and to hold their county
meetings at an early day in May to nominate dele
gates. While all counties are urged to send dele.
gates in person, proxies may give the vote in the
Convention to which the county is entitled.
BY order Of the Republican Central Committee.

ton after "Island." On motion of
Mr.. Ferguson referred to special COM
mittcc consisting Of the Thurston Del
egation.
The House indefinitely postponed
the bill from Council making appropri-
alton for expenses Of transportation of
Territorial arms.
The House took up the bill to pay
r. NJ. Walker for certain services. The
sum allowed was 800, the time EN-
ployed thirty-fve days. The work done
was a tTanscFiiptff o the use Of the Fer
ritory's Delegate, of the accounts and
correspondence, touching the Indian
war. No juster claim has been pre-
scented during the session ; none in
which the amount charged was better
earned N performed, intended to
benefit Us many of our people. Mr..
Walker, however is q citizen of the
prescribed county, and Mr.. Bowles
moved the indefinite postponement Of
the bill, on which the ayes and o
we're ordcred--motion lost by a vote
of 8 to 90. Mr.. Hale moved to send
for Gen. w. w. Miller to give testi-
mony-carried. That gentleman know
ing his testimony in its favor would de-
stroy all chance Of the bill passing the
House, and having testified before the
committee, declined to attend. The
bill was then read a third time, and on
its final passage the House of course
killed it.
The report of Gay Hayden Esq,
Pcnitcntiary Commissioner, for the
year ending 1860, referred to a special
committee consisting of Messrs. Tay-
lor, Hastings, Cunningham, Cannady
and Coupe. Then adjourned.

PETER P1NDAR AGAIN.-Corrcspon-
dents desiring their articles to appear
in the STANDARD must address the edi-
tor. A friend has handed to lis, for
publication, a second letter over the
above signature. Both the corrcspon-
dent and the friend we would like to
oblige, but it would have been impos-
sible to have inscrtcdit this week, upon
any considerations, in consequence OF
the desire to make a finish of the Leg
i%slativc reports, to give room to the ia
vors of numerous correspondents we
have been obliged to delay.
While there is much in the letter
which ought to be understood by the
people of the Territory, too much of it
is devoted to a neat little family row
among Democrats in Pierce county.
Justice and fair play would demand,
that were we topublish charges against
one party or section, an equal privilege
of reply and counter-charge should be
given the otller,-Mnd where would
this end? There are interesting adj
dresses and speeches from the East our
people arc anxious to read, and we feel
unjustitied, as a Territorial journalist,
to fill up our columns with local coun-
tv quarrel. Besides, the man who Pc
ter Pindar labors SO zcalously for, after
threatening terrible disclosures, has re-
tired ingloriously from the field. If he
has no grievances he dare assert, why
thrust upon him the crown of martyr
dom?

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Commits
sioncr of the General Land Office, in
reply to a letter from Omaha, Nebraska
Territory, inquiring whether that Ter
ritory could sell or lease sections 16 and
36, forpurposcs of deriving revenue for
schools, says that there is no law au-
thorizing such acts. The title to these
sections is merely rcserred, and remains
in the Government. In the Act admit
ting a Territory into the Union rs a
State, it has been usual to make a grant
to the State so admitted, of said lands
for school purposes. In the absence of
Congressional legislation, a Territory is
powerlcss to dispose of school lands.
NEwspApoRIAL.-Wc have received

r~ertiser has also made its appearance.

Amy Cloth.

It costs something to clothc an army
and navy, computing the soldiers and
sailors (as we may for this year. 1t 6OO,-
900. We are told that full suit takes
Z IA yards, and that three are allowed
per year, making q "a yards to each
man, or exactly thirteen millions for the
whole. At the present price Of army
cloth, including making and trimmings,
the cost OF all suits required would be
forty millions Of dollars year-a little
more than tour times % much as it took
TO carry on the whole Government under
John .. Adams.
This cloth, when honestly furnished
according to the requirements of the
War Department, will measure yard
and halt vide and weigh twenty one
ounces to the yard, be all wool and dyed
indigo blue iu the wool.
1t is stated in the New York Com.
merc'al that in consequence of a re-
monstr ance from New England manu-
facturers against purchases Of cloth 10
foreign countries, an Investigation was
made into the capacities Of our domestic
mills to furnish the quantity required.
This Investigation resulted in showing
that there are in the u uited States only
dozen mills which can produce more
than one thousand yards per day, and
only thirty mills tn at can make tbou.
sand yards daily. Adding to these mills
oil others, it is estimated that the total
could, working to their full CAPACITY
turn out three hundred thousand yards
aweek, or fifteen million six hundred
thousand year. This would be ample
for the demand, but it supposes the
manufacture Of army cloth to monopolze
81 the wooden mills in the country. and
the civilians must get their cloths from
somo other source than the home sun.

made to our wooden mills.

taken to the slaughter pen. All consid-
erations Of humanity aud mercy are to
he forgotten, and, fend-Iikc, the work Of

even to total determination. 1t makes
the very blood run cold to think that
any branch of the human family has be-
come 80 reckless and deviIish az to pre-
sumo upon any such course.
But if the people Of South Carolina
select such a course, let them take the
consequences. There is only one way 10
deal with such insatiatc monsters in hui
man form. Our soldiers understand
what their duty is in such an awful
emergency. 1t will incur fight OF des-
peration-the utter destruction of citles
the laying waste Of the entire country

1t is to be hoped that the rulers of
that revcngeful and blood thirsty CON.
munity will consider we'll the step they
propose to take, and weigh the conse-
quences before the flag Of death is thrown
upon the breeze. We cannot believe that
the masses OF the people OF that State
coincide with the proposition. They
must know that the mission Of our ar
mics upon South ern soil is not one OF
butcheIy aud death, but one of peace
rathcr-to establish and maintain the
Government, against which they have
seen fit to raise their hands. The Gov
ernment entertains no idea of laying
waste that country or taking away an
identical right guaranteed to it by the
Constitution. Their property, whether
in money, lands, slaves or Of any charac

thereof in return respect the laws Of the

Let them beware how they conduct
themselves. Better were it for them
that the entire State sink like Sodom oil
old than that they take the rash step
contemplated. 1t would be virtually
throwing away all chance for sympathy
which other nations or people might en-
terrain for them, and losing forever all

never carry the black proposition into

COMING TO IowA.-We notice with
pleasure, the constant influx Of emig,an.
wag ons into this State. Steadily, day
by day, these migratory vehicles, laden
with the family, and such household
effects as may be convenient, cross the
river at this point and proceed towards
the interior. We can see much good
sense displayed in coming into Iowa
now to make q permanent home.. The
land is cheap and all facilities for get
ting a good substantial living are jest
as good as they were when land for
farming purposes commanded four times
the money that it does now. Iowa is
greatly increased in population. The
war in Missouri, has crowded the people
OF that State into our borders by hun
drcds and Thousands, and from the far
East, and the States Immediately ad-
joining, are constantly coming forward
in q continuous stream, the sturdy men
who are to break up and till the rich,
wild lands so plenty here. Iowa is
bound to be the Garden State Of the
West. Nothing can prevent it.-Mar-
