The Congressional Canvass.

On Saturday afternoon, the citizens
of Olympia and vicinity assembled at
the Capitol building to listen to the
merits and dement's of tho respective
candidates to represent this Territory
in tie Congress of the United States.
We were not present at the speaking,
but learn from those who were, that Mr..
Garfelde, the nominee of the late Demo-
cratic Convention, led off in fine, Aow-
cry style; he appeared to have heavy,
uphill load to carry, especially in his
defense Of the fairness aud honesty Of
said Convention, and of tho means and
influences brought to bear to effect his
nomination; and also in his efforts to
prove, and indoctrinate his audience
into the mysteries Of the mythical dog
ma Of sqnatter sovereignty. We don't
think he effected either of his objects,
though he evidently understands tho
use of the sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal.
Next on the stand, stood forth the
gallant old resusciated Judge, Edward
Lander, who, after long and severe sui.
fering, reappears on our theatre of &C.
ton o. the selfnominateG and extraor-
binary Union candidate. The Judge
pitched into and handled without gloves
Mr.. Gar6elde, in all that relates to the
honorable proceedings Of the Conven-
ton Aforesaid; alec proving conclusive.

Mr.. Gardelde was no longer tenable,

lett some open sores on the person Of
his popular sovereignty opponent.
The nominee of the Republican Con-
vention, Col. w. H. Wallace, not hav-
ing yet returned from the East, he was
very efficiently represented on this oc-
casion, and is being represented thro'-
out the Territory, BY Mr.. Nwood Evans
of Olympia. Mr.. Evans was very hap
ny aud successful in the exhibition, Of
the truth, strength and justice of the
cause he advocated, and of the para
mount claims of Col. Wallace to the
SURFACES and cordial support of all OF
our fellOw-citizcns who acknowledge
merit and usefulness, and who are not
too deeply dyed in tho wool Of rank
and stultifying Democracy, to consult
their own interests and those Of their
Territory, by voting for the most avail
able gentleman, who has been favora-
bly, known to them longer and better
than either Mr.. Gar6eldc or Judge Lam
der, and who beyond all question will
have it in his power, and will exert
that power, to act moro advantageous
ly for the material benefit of our Sec
ton of country than either or both Of
his opponents.
If we were to say all that we really
think and feel on this occasion, we
might possibly be accused of putting
our friends Wallace and Evans, but
not being so disposed, but preferring
to deal simply in facts, we will con-
clude by rcmarking, that the Republi-
can representative has manifestly the
inside track-has all the elements of
success on his side, and will to
moral certainty be elected. We there
fore cordially invite all well-wisEers of
our common country, all who feel the
glow of honest pride in the glory and
perpetuity of that country, and arc will
ing to proof it by a steadfast maintc-
nance of our constituted authorities, to
join us in voting for Col. w. H. Wal
lace on the 9th day Of July next.

The following, from the pen of the Hon.
DE- Thompson, we 6nd in the editorial
columns of tho Green Mountain Freeman:
The circumstances of the union from
which sprung the illustrious American
statesman, Thomas Jefferson, have never,
we think, except in such general terms as
would convey no definite idea of their Pc
cuIar character, yet reached the eye of the
public. But having reached them from the
aged neighbors of Mr.. Jefferson, during
former sojourn in Virginia. and being well
convinced of their entire truth, we will veD-
ture to relate them for the amusement OF
our readers.
Mr.. Jefferson's father was poor, bot an
industrious and intelligent mechanic and,
as society was constituted ia Virginia, be
was wholly excluded from the ranks OF the
aristocraey, and could have had no hope OF
forming family connection with them, but
for the following incidents:
One Of the proud and lordly Randolphs,
wishing some repairs to be made upon the
doorsteps of bis mansion, and having heard
of the expertness of the young carpenter,
Jefferson, who resided 10 the same parish,
sent for him to come and do the work. In
this family there were several beautiful and
accomplished daughters, who were the ac-
knowledged bellies of that part OF the coun-
try while one of the sisters was so far be-
hind the rest either In accomplishments or
the faculty of showing off to advantage,
that she was subject to notifying neglect
by the young men who thronged the estab-
lishment, being generally left at home while
her more favored sisters we're taken off for
the constant round of parties and pleasure
excursions in vogue among the wealthy
families Of the place. 1t was during one OF
those instances of neglect that young Jeifer-
son happened to be at work on the steps,
and the respectful attentions he then had an
opportunity OF paying the slighted girl, so
strongly affected her with the contrast with
those she had been accustomed to receive
from all other gentlemen who were admit
ted to the house, that her actions soon re-
vealed to the quick eye of the ambitious
young mechanic, condition of heart that
he thought be might improve to advantage.
And, acting on that belief, be persevered,
and so we'll pro6ted by his opportunities,
that within few days mutual engage
ment was formed, and runaway match
cOncocted aud carried into effect. There
was, to be sure, terrible rumpus kicked
up by the proud Randolphs when II was dis
covered that one of the family had disgraced
them and herself, as they esteemed 1t, by
running away with and marrying poor
mechanic. But, finding there was no help
for 1t, and learning, upon inquiry, that the
young man was as smart as he was bold,
they at length recalled the truant daughter
with her husband, installed them into the
family. and gave them their patrimony.
From this match sprung, we believe, two
sons and several daughters, part of whom,
like Thomas Jefferson, the subsequent states
man and President, strikingly inherited the
intellectual characteristics and enterprise
of the father, and the others quite the ordi-
maryland commonplace traits of the mother.
