Bion F. Kendall's Nomination." Indc.
pendent of Caucuses' y! etc.

b. L. Kendall now wearing the alias of
Bon. recently collected fire of those who er.
pected to have been nominated by the Tum-
water Democratic convention, and failing in
that, had their names submitted to the Union
mass meeting held at Olympia. But the late
Superintendent of Indians, now the great
leader Of the Democracy of Thurston county
who oppose the Government, with Alonzo, the
man of the Press, encouraged very strongly
by a Federal official who was very active in
getting up said meeting, (but who appears to
have regretted his movements as it failed to
meet the appreciation Of Kendall tried to force
an adjournment of said mass meeting without
a nomination. In this, too, they failed.
Then these candidates retired from the I'm
ion meeting, and .fre Of them agreed THEY
WOULD CALL EACH OTHER OUT TO RUN, and
Kendall standing by said that it would be a
good joke, and he would get Obadiah" the
anti.corcioaist, to head the ticket Kendalls
friends thought that would do. So they got
up a flaming handful, (hesc FIVE disappoint-
ed, now self-nominatcd, candidates, trained by
Bon and his brother sore-hcad,) and got
Alonzo to print it in gilt letters, "Indepen-
dent Of CHqaes, Bogus Mass Meetings or Con-
vcn.ions"! and then induced jealous (!) Re-
publican to run for the Legislature to show
that "all parties" were dissatisfied with the
Union Mass Me- ting. Bion the Wise says
seven does MT make clique nor constitute a
bogus mass meeting! "Do you scc!'

JUDGE MCFADDEN' S GRATITCDE.-We
have it OH the authority of men Of nn-
questioned veracity that Judge McFad-
den, in addressing the meeting at Cla-
Quato which nominated him for Coun-
Gilman, said, "Thurston county, and
especially Olympia. had ruled the Ter
ritory and its people long enough; that
a clique was centred there which tried
to manage everything, and they were
determined to put stop to it. True,
Thurston county had the most people,
but Lewis had the best men, and they
owed it to themselves to assert their
rights. This is beautiful language for
him to apply to a people which has
done so much for him. If the people
of this county aid in clecting him to
represent them III the Council, they
will deserve to have their Capital inter
est sold out to Vancouver or Wala
Walla, as it surely would be, for NOM
nation for delegate to Congress.

The Candidate for Council.

We are informed that the citizens of Lewis
county held a mass meeting OH the evening Of
the fourth of July, at Claquato, and nomina-
ted Hon. q. u. M'Fadden for the Council.
While We hail with delight the return of the
late chief justice to loyalty to that Govern
ment from whence he has received so much in
his eight years of oficc-holding in Oregon
and this Territory, we cannot forget his sen-
timcnts against coercing the Rebel States, so
loudly proclaimed in this town, within the
last twelve months, nor do We forget his UNI
firing and unwavcrng opposition to every act
of the present Administration in the conduct
of the war for the supremacy Of tho Consl;u-
ton. We defy Judge M'Fadden to name a
single act Of President Lincon's Administra-
ton which he has not unsparingly ridiculed
and found fault with. On the strength of his
proclivi!ics and syu.pa,hies for the rebel
States, his opposition to the policy of the
Government since the war began, his favor
ing peace with the traitors, tho enemies of the
Administration, and several who openly prate
secession and favor the rebellion, have select.
ed him as Meir candidate. Resolutions sini-
lar to those adopted in Lewis county were
adopted by a Union mass meeting inthis coun-
ty, and Judge M'Faddcn is the opponent of
the candidate nominated by Union men I'M
der such resolutions. Indeed, we are pre-.
scented with the anomaly of u Union candidate
of one county, being the candi late of the OPP
ponents of Union in the next ljaccnt county /;
of his being the candidate Of the friends of
the Administration in one county, and the
candidate of its enemies in another.
Those who know the Judge will have no
difficulty in reconciling this matter. Desire
for Office makes men of even higher moral
tone sometimes grossly inconsistent. But it
will not Ito just now. His Homo, with allhi
readiness for being on two sides at one and
the same time, cannot win at such transpa-
rent game. BE advised by the short polili-
cal career Of Judge Waite, of Oregon. He
tried the same dodge, but the people caught
him at it, and hereafter he will wal hopelessly
for the confidence OF his fellow citizens.
Union men! be not deceived by such tricks !!
Stand firm Vote for the Union candidate,
Hon. ID. II. BiGELow, who throughout the
district claims only the votes of the friends Of
the Union and Constitution; who is not Tn
ion in one county aud the reverse in another;
who is and has been for the Union, the Gov
ernlnent, and tie War, without the shadow OF
turning; who is an old jackson Democrat,
and vencrates the old hero most for that cX-
preston of his indomitablc will which he ut
te.ed rs he cocyccd South Carolina into sub
mission 10 the Federal laws" The UNION
SHALL DE- PRESERVED y

Union! Review the movements of those
who have been SO loudly and hypocriticalIy
denouncing party and conventions for the
past few weeks; those who stated openly in
convention Mt Tumwater on the 2lst inst,
that no nominations would be made simply
because they would bc beaten if they acre
made
There cannot possibly be difference in
the platform of unconditional Union men.
No terms in the English language can be
used meaning at one and the same time In
ion and disunon. The Tumwaer convention
adopted erasirc resolutions which it took
hours to concoct. They rejoice over Federal
victories, it is true, but where is the uncondi-
tional and wlole-souled endorsement Of EV-
cry EFFORT of the Government in sup
pressing the rebellion Was not the only
resolution endorsing in unmistakable terms
the measures of the Administration voted
down? With the assertion inthe preamble to
the resolutions staring them in the face that
they adjourned without making nominations
solely from "pa:riotic motives" members Of
the convention did assert that it was only be-
cause they would be beaten if nominations
We're made, that they did so. Do we require
further proof that the latter assertion made i'll
the convention is correct !-cramiae tie "n0
party" nominations. They knew that two
parties, without a shadow of difference in
platform could not exist they knew that if
their platform was varied from the Union
platform by I" ifs" and "ands" that they
would suffer defeat They would therefore
swallow all former professions and doctrines,
if it did cause some of them to make wry
face when it passed down their outlets, to
guard against dcteat upon Mcir conditional
platform! "Just the thing" said one after
the Tumwater convention, "wc have rcpudia-
ted conventions and mass meetings, we can
60 into the mass meeting on Saturday and
carry an adjournment and if we should hap
pen to fail in that, our candidates can an
nounce themselves, and not be bound by any
party platform" This was the manner the
thing was "cut and dried" and the sequel
shows that Bion's grand scheme, conceived,
born and matured under his especial care,
is the only opposition we have to the success Of
| the Union ticket.

TWEEpLEDuM AND i'WEEnLEDEE.-'Bi on'
+. Kendall, the advocate of the "No-Party"
Clique ticket, while endeavoring to break up
the Union Mass Convention, drew Il broad
distinction between support Of the Govern
ment and support of the Administration, not
withstanding the conservative policy of Pres
dcnt Lincoln, and that his only measures
have been for the suppression of the rebellion.
This has been and is the iavoritc argument of
arowcd secess;onists throughout the North.
Judge McFadden holds to the same doctrine.
Can ourloyal yeomanry be deceived with such
apparent unsoundness before them! Let us
declare on Monday next against such cvasive
policy-a policy which caused tho rejection
of the Union resolutions by the last Legsla.
ture; let us declare against midnight caucus
es and dark lantern associations. The issue
is narrowed down to simply this: While true
Union men are unconditional in their support
of the Union, the Constitution and the laws,
the disunionists have rcceded from open adj
vocacy Of secession and content themselves
with finding fault with the Government, and
rendering negative aid to treason. Let us
elect men who will not disgrace us by eva
sive trickery, and who will aid in keeping our
Territory "whero she righ,fully belongs" firm
in her allegiance to the Government.
