A CITIzEN or WALLA WALLA.
Democratic Meeting At Walla Walla.
Tho following letter, giving an account Of the
contemplated meeting above alluded to, is from
another correspondent: ..i........
WALLA WALLA, June 10th, 1868.
You are aware that the county Of Walla Walla
did not send delegates 70 the Democratic COnven.
ton at Vancouver. Accordingly It was announced
with great flourish that the Democracy would
hold ratification meeting which came on to-day.
Armstrong, an old sub-Indian Agent under Blu.
chanan, and an ayowed Copperhe.d, was called
to the chair. Cola, not being able 10 be present,
had engaged Q fellow BY the name OF Dugan to
speak for and represent him on the occasion. By
the way, DuSan was tho chief obstacle 10 sending
delegates to the Vancouver Convention, because,
as he said, those knaves and scoundrels from the
Sound were sure to cheat them. He was down
on the clam-eaters; he did not wish any commu.
MON with them. He said many things funny,
furious, ludicrous, and diabolical Of the clam
eaters, and broke up the Convention in Q row.
But lot as hear Dugan. He said:
"He should not make an elaborate speech, as
so few from the country were in; but he thought

the press, in the writ Of habeas corpus, In those
old rights extorted by the barons Of England
from King John. He believed in Magma Charta,
in the liberties secured to rs BY the bloody foot

he would maintain them at all hazards and 10 the

capacity or honor; for he has, In plain violation
Of his solemn oath, wantonly trampled under foot
every syllable and every letter Of that holy in
