The Canvass for Delegate.

The Canvass for Delegate.
The Old Henry clique, of which Scran-
ito is the tail, have now got things arranged
to their satisfaction, and they calculate
with entire confidence on reaping the re-
ward cf their schemes. Perhaps if the pre-
cincts of the internal regions were raked
with fine tooth comb it would be difficult
to find mates for some cf the loafer politi-
clans who have been engaged in butchering
up the noble domain of what was once
Washington Territory for no purpose of
public utility, but only to secure the cleo
ton of some understrapper of the old Hen
ry clique to the office of delegate to Con-
gress Even if no one of the lately i'm
ported ofice-holders should be found avail
able as a candidate, there are still several
old acquaintance of Mr.. Lincoln's who
have been living for years on this coast,
now holding Territorial offices, who stand
ready to be elected to that lucrative posi-
ton. Among them A. G. Henry may be
looked upon as the leading man,-and one
whose politics have the scrofulous faint
which should condemn him to the political
pest-house at the head of Salt river, or to
place much better fitted to his deservings.
We have no fears that he will be elected
to The delegateship, but mention him as
one who is willing to be elected,
Notwithstanding the fact that the politi-
cal managers of the Old Henry clique deem
their game secure-in spite of the veners-
ole trickster who has been sent up to man
age Idaho-in defiance of all the patronage
of Government and the INSCRIPTIONS arts
of the whole tribe of Olympia swindlers,
we can yet elect man TO represent the
people of Washington Territory, if the in
habitants of this section of the Territory
are united. Having nearly half the votes
in the Territory east of the Cascade Range.
enough honest men, who have not consort-
cd with the Old Henry clique, can be found
to make a majority. 1t is true that men
who will connive at murder, which they
were too cowardly to execute with their
own hands, will not sickle at stufing bal
lots, but the whole matter will come before
patriotic House of Representatives which
will not allow justice to be tramplcd
under foot-men who will break the power
of the thieving office holders who are rob-
bing the nation, with professions of patri-
otlsm in their mouths.
The Old Henry clique is as much hated
on the Sound as here, and honest people of
that country feel that through the instru-
mentality of men connected with that ne
farious clan, murder has been rendered
venial ofense, and public robbery elevated
to the dignity of patriotic practice.
To rebuke these men-to defeat their
rascally schemes-to disappoint their hopes,
at the moment of apparent fruition,-to Sc
cure to the people of this Territory a rep
resentative in fact, and to forever discour-
age the practice of importing politicians to
manage the local affairs of this Territory, it
is only necessary for the people to will it,
and to act This we arc assured they will
DO at the proper time.
