Good for Washington.

Good for Warrington.
The Washington Territory LegislatIre has
adjourned The few Blacks in thaE assembly
tried to commit the people to . support Of
l.incolnism and 4" Grecley's Abilities War"
By series Of carefully worded rssolatieas to
that e1sct. They were voted down b. more
ihan two to one. Every DsnoeEas h the
body voted against them. Jhs Dsaoc.ey
Of Washington want NO fusion" With Adolf
ti0nism.
The Olympia &asdavd (Rspub.) speaking
Of this insult says:
The most disrcyutablc action sf IL Leg
islature was their deliberate refusal 10 sndosss
the Government, or the ADM. istratioo of the
Government. in their e6ors to put down r.
bellion. by rejecting Mr.. Griswold's resolu' ions
in the House. by vote Of sixsers to eight.
and in the Council. similar resohtioaa, by Q
vote Of fire to Mvev."
After giving the resolutions. the genius Of
the Ssssdayd continues:
"Nothing II party character in the fore
going resolution. and yet every man in the
HOUSE calling himssf q Ds1.oeuat voted
against them! dur D<0oer.tic

but afirr voting down sssrh resolutions rs the
fowgoing. and adjourning without directing
single dollar to b. paid. the Governmst at
Washington will know how to appreciate
their professions ofloyalty."
Washington Territory Democrats know
how TO distinguish between John Brow nism.
and the constituiionally administered Govern
lnent Of the United States. They cant be
l,umburg,d by hypocritical Abolition howl
Of Union." nor terrified by the false and ina
lignant, and slandcrous cries about "traitors
and scccssionists.'' The country is waking
up to know the true Union coin from the
false.
The above article and caption are from the
Orrgo~ Uxios, an avowed treason sheet. pub
lished at Corvallis. Oregon. Whatever Of
loathing and contempt We may feel for those
who array themselves against their Govern.
ment. we can but feel some little respect for
the men who come out boldly and defend their
treason, and who resort to no subterfuges to
cover up and conceal from the people their
unholy purposes. The editor Of the Union
was at no loss to understand tho intentio~ Of
the Legislature in voting down the resolu-
tons, and no has tho manliness to express in
plain and unmistakable terms tho effect Of
their action, and for this frankncss we tender
him our Acknowledgements. Such papers rs
the Union arc far less mischievous in their i'll
fuence than those that claim in ,cOrds to be
friends of the Administration, while their acts
all tend to discredit it with the people. We
would commend tho extract from the Cxiox
to our contemporaries Of the Telegraph, Press
and Herald, that they may know how the
cours" Of the Legislature is regarded by avowed
secession organs in Oregon. If they arc really
loyal to the Government, they will cease all
further efforts to defend the action Of the Leg
islature in refusing to endorse the war meas.
ures of the Administration.
If our contemporaries have not yet realized
the inconsistency Of men who are loyal at
heart stepping forward promptly to defend
such open acts Of hostility to an Administra-
ton, that is straining every nerve to it's ut
most tension to save tho Government from
overthrow, we think the following extracts
will open their eyes. If it does not, and they
shall continue to join issue with us in our e.
forts to sustain the Government, they will
have no cause to complain Of our entertaining
doubts of their loyalty. and more especially
SO. when we find them in such cordial fellow
ship with men who openly avow their oppo-
sition to tho Government, and their sympa-
thy with the rebels.
The same number of tho Uxiox which
gloats over the action Of tho Democratic por.
ton Of the Legislature. is filled with glorifica.
tions Of Jcffdom, among which VIC find a
string Of rhymes. entitled IAN Original Dix
ie." lauding Southern rights and Southern
valor. and decrying the Northern people. We
give stansa to illustrate:
"southrons hear, your country calls you,
Up! lest worse than death bssalls you

Let oil hearts be now united
