"thc duty Of all citizens to assist the Gov
eminent in the enforcement Of the laws,

State rights was formally avow-d. but even
this slab" was not sufficiently strong to
secure the support Of the redoubtable Ma.
ior, and he carried tho ultra Buchananites
bodily out Of the ring. The Unto" Flag,
the Democratic campaign paper published
at Vancouver, and edited by Mr.. Urban +.
Hicks (uow Mr.. Tilton's chief backer) says
of the Democratic nominee:
"Gen. Tilton says he cannot a. tnenoer o. fhe
democratic party, vote for Mr.. Garhelde.
lie is not member Of the democratic party, and We
ccssionst rs there is in this country. He sympa.
thiscs with the Southern COniedcracy, and 10 one o.
its principal apologists in this Territory.
lie says he is patriot and lover oithc Union.
We have NO doubt JEFF. Davis, Yancey,
Stephcns and 10 Lane would say nearly the same
thing. We arc sure they could with ~ much pro-
pricty."
Four years later this same editor says in
the Washington Democrat. q journal es-
tablishcd and maintained Is Mr.. Tilton's
special organ. that the Major is staunch
supporter of tho Government" having
"in the fall of 1861, clearly defined this
right Ito oppose the Administration in re-
ply 10 slanderous charge Of disloyalty
then made against him." The Democrat
further says:
"In politics, Con. Tilton has ever been staunch
Jackson Democrat unhinchiny in character, and
answering in fidelity to the Union and the Con-
stituti0n.'
Now when we consider these quota
lions in connection, We find discrepancy
which can only BE- accounted for upon the
hypothesis that either the party has gone
over body and boots to MI. Tilton. or the
(" Democratic" nominee has come back
into the party, and this latter conclusion
would seem, by implication, to be denied
in the quotation cited above, "that Gen.
Tilton has evcr been a staunch Democrat"
10 leave no shadow of doubt remaining.
however, that the party has renlly come to
to the Major, after it had ruled him out for
being too ultra.-an "apolosist for seces'
son''-we quote again from the Democrat
ic organ of 1861:
1--WE have no desire to whip him in but ON
the contrary, are glad he 10 o It would have been
torv Il such men as him had Been GU. Of long
ago, and better orthe interests Of Puget Sound II
nc had been out Of tho country, ~ every represcn-
tative from this (Clarks) county knows"
So We take i: as amply proven that the
party now occupies the very position
ascribsd to Mr.. 1'ilton by the Flag in
1861, viz: as being in sympathy with
tho Southern Confederacy" and "its apol'
ogist in this Territory"
1t is true that in consequence Of an ar
rangement said to have been made be-
tween the Union nominee, Col. Wallace,
aud Mr.. Hicks. the latter agreed to the
suspension Of the Roxeev and Democrat,
(anti- GarfeIde) from which journal wages
was due Mr.. H. - compcsitor. and
pledged himself not to lend his upper
story" to establish Democratic cam
paign paper, Mr.. Hicks same did not ap-
pear a. editor Of tho Flag. but it l. we'll
known hcreabouts and 1t Vancouver that
he did edit and control the paper. and re-
csivcd the pay for il. He has not denied
the fact. nor do vs believe hs win have
