Local PrnsnerIfY.

There is nothing which can properly more
commend itself to the consideration Of our
people than the subject Of local prosperity.
This phrase includes everything which can
possibly contribute to to the advancement
of the country and its people. There are
amongst US those who contend that all which
is said in favor of this country is too highly
colored; and there are others who complain
that the pen fails to enumerate half enough
in praise of the resources and the facilities
it offers to those who are seeking wealth.
So far as the Press is concerned, if it is
honest, it should speak truly. Its interests
are iudelibly connected with all the interests
of the country. Ii cannot afford to under
value our material resources any more than
it can afford to exalt them unduly. If true
to its own interests, the Press of the Pacific
Coast will not strive to make it appear that
this is a country to be Stunned by those 10
search of fortune; neither will it assert that
it is the land to which all adventures and
fortune-hunters should direct their steps.
We have here neither an absolute paradise,
nor yet a Gehenna. But it does offer to
those who do not expect miracles, better in>
ducements than are offered by any other
country; yet it cannot be pretended that it
offers quick fortunes or certain bliss to all
who seek its shores. 1t cannot be denied
that we are experiencing good-a more
than ordinary-degree of local prosperity.
Thousands who have made money here by
hard toll are investing their all in the future
of the Territory, and the developments of
every month demonstrate the wisdom of this
course. A few, says an exchange, who have
no regard for the welfare of any community,
but who have made more money here than
they ever dreamed Of possessing, gather to.
gether their earnings and profits and hurry
off with them to other regions, there to be
wasted in scenes of dissipation. The example
of the latter should not-as it too often is
be held up as evidence of the lack of local
prosperity, or the resources of local wealth.
In every locality there are birds of passage
who look only to gather food from flowers
supplied to hand. They are triAers. If
they fill their stomachs without trouble,
they speak well of the country over which
they have fitted if not, they speak i'll of
it. A country can only be judged of from
the testimony of the actual working bees,
who have thoroughly explored all its hooks
and corners, learDed its capacities, and are
willin to stand by it, and have shown that
they can gather honey from it, for present
uses, as well as lay up stores for future con-
sumption. Disappointed men underrate the
country; successful people perhaps oVerrate
it in some Instances. But between the re-
presen atious OF both extremes is the true
mean The Pacific Coast is prosperous, and
offers to sell-reliant and economical men
better inducements than they can find else
where.

COlville Correspondence.

CoLvILLE, W. T., June 3, 1861.
EDITOR STATESMAN Our usually dull and
quiet little town has been all life and animation
for the last few days. The big political guns of
the Territory are in our midst, and also Judge
Wyche, who opened court to-day. On Saturday,
the lst., Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Garfield undertook
to enlighten US upon the political issues of the
day, it being the first time our county has been
honored by visit from any of the candidates
for Congress. We regarded it as a mark of re-
spect and the people of the valley turned out al
most to man, anxious to see what kind of a
looking creature a candidate was. Many of the
old settlers were very much surprised to find
that they possessed no pecuiarity in appearance
from the rest of mankind. Prompt to the ap.
pointed hour, the coprt house was crowded.
Mr. Clark led of with a speech of an hour and a
half which WAS listened 10 with great interest.
Mr.. Garfield was then introduced his speech
was highly interesting, especially TO those of US
who never had heard him before. Every thing
went off very quietly, with, however, but one
little exception some Of Clarks friends, headed
by Captain Shulock, of walla Walla, who had a
little too much Clark whiskey in them, undertook
to create little disturbance 10 the street in
front OF the court house door, during the time
Mr.. Garheld was speaking for the express pur.
pose ot annoying him, which conduct was a dis
grace to the parties concerned in it. and made
no friends for Clark.

CoNTEMPT1BLE;-On Monday night last,
placards were posted around town, in which
the name of respectable citizen was used

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE IA, 1867.

JUBlLANT.-Our republican friends are
iubiant over the election of Mr.. Flanders TO
Congress, and are even more than usually
demoustralve in their expressions of joy.
On Thursday last they chartered all the
.stages and carriages that could be had at
Walla Walla, and to the number of sixty,
including a sprinkling of democrats, repair
ed to Walula for the purpose of paying
their respects to their victorious leader. Mr.
F. had made all suitable arrangements for
their reception, including ball and cham
pagne supper. There was full delegations
of ladies from all parts of the county, and
certainly Mr.. Flanders victory was celebra>
ted in priucely style. In the capacity of
chronicer of local events, we were present,
and only regret that the lateness of the hour
precludes anything like full report of the
festivities. OF the distinguished persons
who were present we noticed Governor Bal
lard, of Idaho Territory, and Hon. S. Gar
field, Surveyor General of Washington Ter
ritory. In response to toast, Mr.. Flanders
expressed his determination to represent the
whole people of the Territory, and not any
mere party or faction, and pledged himself
to use every exertion to promote the in
teress of the people who had honored him
so highly. Mr.. Gar6elde was called out,
and responded in one of the happiest dinner
table speeches we have ever listened to. Mr..
Newell spoke for the democrats present, and
said they were there for the purpose Of
paying their respects to Mr.. Flanders, as
the elected representative of the people, and
not for the purpose Of celebrating partisan
triumph. As a man aud citizen they ap-
preciated Mr.. Flanders, and now that it had
fell to his lot to represent them in Congress,
they would give him that moral support
which would enable him efficiently to repre- =
sent the interests of the Territory in Con-
gress. As democrats, they had opposed his
election, hut as citizens they would render
him every assistance in the discharge of his
high duties. The speakers were frequently
greeted with applause, and altogether, the
reception, the ball, and the supper were
eminently creditable to the liberalily of the
distinguished gentleman. In the proper
place we omitted to say that at about ten
o'clock in the evening, the Dalles boat ar,
rived, bringing large delegation of ladies'
and gentlemen, who came to pay their
respects to Mr.. F., and helped to swell the
throng of joyous guests.

INCREASE OF THE PUBLIC DEBr-It is stated
that there has been large increase of the put,
lie debt during the last few months. This is the
natural and inevitable result of radical legisla-
tion. The enormous demands upon the treasury
to meet the profigate appropriations of Con.
gress, have exhausted the current receipts, heavy
as they were. These demands are caused bv
such measures as the increase of their own com.
Pensation and that of the employees of the gov.
ernment the numerous investigating commit.
tees sent out to inquire into negro riots and
petty 'outrages )" the vast standing army scat,
tered all over the South, and the thousands of
Freedmens Bureau officers employed to sustain
the negroes in idleness and protect them in
crime; the vast sums voted to favorite "con
tractors who did net make money enough by
their army contracts, aud the millions souander.
ed upon private enterprises, upon party favorites
upon fraudulent "rings," and upon partisan
schemes. Ia these and scores of other ways
money has been wasted like water, until the
enormous revenue of the government has been
exhausted the treasury drained, and the pu bIic
de0t Increased. At the same time, and as a
necessary consequence, taxation has been in
creased, and these shameless prodigals are zeal
ously laboring to discover new subjects of taxa.
tion and to invent new modes by which more
money can be squeezed from the people to meet
the constantly increasing demands upon an ex.
hausted treasury. How long can the laborinv
classes stand the excessive burdens heaped upon
them by radical Congress2

THE DELEGATE Elsewhere
we give place to an article, copied from the
Portland Herald, in which the blame for
the defeat of Clark is clearly fixed upon the
"bolters' in Wala Walla county, and dis,
affected democrats in Clarke county. Where
ever the blame rosts, the result is certainly
humiliating, and would seem to indicate that
there is something radically wrong in the
democratic organization. Even republicans
admit that there is a democratic majority in
the Territory, and yet, with this fact con-
ceded, at the end Of vigorous and we'll
contested canvass, the democratic candidate
is defeated. Conceding that the "bOlt" in
this county weakened Clark, still the returns
show that he received from the country
east of the mountains very nearly the vote
that was expected. Admitting that we have
not accomplished all that was desired, still,
had the counties west of the mountains done
as well, the democratic candidate would have
been elected. The primal responsibility for
the defeat, we take it, rests upon Clarke
county, aud next upon the unpopularity of
the candidate himself in his own section of
country. Pierce county-the home of Frank
Clark-we were told would give him one
hundred and fifty majority. Instead of this,
he carries the county by only 81 votes. In
making the canvass, Clark assured us that
he would carry the Sound country by a
handsome majority, and all that he desired
of the eastern counties was that their
vote should not show a majority against
him. His friends here gave him all that
they promised, and having done so, feel
that they are not responsible for his defeat.
Had others worked as well, success would
have been achieved, bot lacking this CO..
operation, it was impossible to avert dis,
astrous result In another canvass it is
hoped that democrats will work in a kindlier
spirit, and instead of warning among them.

WASHINGTON ELEcTIoS.-The latest returns

election make it almost certain that Clark. the
democratic candidate for Delegate, has been de-
feated by small majority, and that Flanders

connected with this defeat is that il was ac.
complished by the spiteful treachery of professed
democrats.
