arrest some parties interiered and the officer

SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1868.
Spirit Of the Canvass.

Loyal men will be grati6ed to learn that
the prospects of the Union organization
are Frightening throughout our Territory.
Mr.. Raynor, the Union nominee, has gained
friends wherever he has spoken; his frank
and earnest language, and courteous deport-
ment, convince the people that while his pro-
LESSONS are sincere and heartfelt, he possesses
the attributes of true gentleman-a pleasing
contrast to the circumlocutory verbiage and
insulting epithets, which seem to be the whole
stock in trade Of his opponents. We had the
pleasure Of listening to the address Of the I'm
ion nominee, before large audience at Tum-
water, on Saturday evening last. and the
speech Of Judge Lander, in behalf Of Mr..
Cole, in reply, and but give utterance to the
prevailing sentiment of his auditors when we
assert that if the peculiar tactics of the latter
are pursued elsewhere as on that occasion,
our cause is already won. We have not
space to review the Judges remarks, fur.
Their than to merely portray the style Of
harangue adopted by him. which may
be taken as fair exhibit of the equivocal po-
sition of Mr.. Cole. The learned Judge, it APP
pears, has selected the slow comedy" style
Of elocution, and directs his main efforts to
raise laugh at the expense of his opponent,
who he can readily see produces deep inn
preston in his favor. His ill-timed jests on
Saturday evening, however. were received
with but little favor. except by small coterie
Of individuals of eminent Democratic" an
tecedents, who greeted his sallies with ire
mendous "peals of laughter This game Of
the Judge may very probably be denominated
blu6, and is intended to divert the attention
Of his hearers from the more important points,
upon which he and his party accupy a
very delicate position serving as an amusing
advertisement, to the serious there is to follow.

Union Platform.

WHEREAS, In this hour of the nations peril,
when armed rebellion has involved the nation
in the dire calamity of civil war, and defes
with desperate and lawlpss boldness the law
full government Of the United States, we rec
ognize it to be the imperative duty of every
good and loyal citizen to stand up faithfully
for the government, ready to maintain it by
all proper means and at any sacrifice there
fore,
Resolved, That peace with rebels on any
terms except an unconditional surrender to
the national authority. would be dishonorable ;
that the surest and quickest way to vindicate
tho justice aud honor Of our Government is
vigorous prosecution of the war and that be-
lieving the war 80 prosecuted must end in tho
permanent establishment of our Government
over one people, we arc for that glorious COLI
summation at any cost OF life and means.
I'd. Resolved, That while our soldiers
fight under one banner, with one purpose i'll
the field, We should be united in the defense
of the Government at home.
Sd. Resolved, That adherence to aid party
ties in this crisis of our country is impatriotic
and mischievous, and that all who truly love
their country should be united i'll sentiment
and action in its behalf, against all foes, mill
tary or political.
9TH. Resolved, That abjuring for the pres.
ent all partizan interests and former political
ties, we will unite ourselves in one Union
party TO sustain the Administration in its ef-
forts to restore the national authority and to
crush treason and traitors from our soil, with
al that can terminate or support either.
5th. Resolved, That while loyal people Of
this Territory are in favor Of tho use of all
the energies and resources Of the government
for the suppression Of this wicked rebellion
and the restoration of the authority Of the
government in all our borders. they are in ia.
vor Of giving TO the South, as to all sections Of
our country, all therights to which tn" consti-
tuition entities tlem.

there seems to be lack of cooperation b.

to be in associations with civilized and en-
lightened people. They have declared that the
Union with the South was q "co~oNant with
Hell,' and that the South was burthen to

the nation, and could not be kicked out of the
Union
