NORrHERS lOAHo.-rbe information iI our
possession warrants us 10 saying that the annex.
alton of Northern Idaho is forgone conclusion.
The memorial adopted by the Washington Ter,
ritory Legislature, and which passed both Hou.
ses by over two third vote, cannot fail to in>
huence Congress in favor of the measure. In
addition to this we have the fact that our Dele
gate in Congress, Hon. Alvan Flanders, is a fast
friend OF the movement. Hon. D. Holbrook
Delegate from Idaho, also favors annexation,
and with the influence of these two gentlemen
II is quite certain that we shall gain a large acr
eession both Of Territory aud population. In
our own Legislature prominent gentlemen of
both parties favored the proposed annexation,
and thus the measure is relieved Of every thing
like partisan aspect. The annexation of the
"pan handle" section Of Idaho is important as
paving the way for the admission Of Washiugto
as State in the Uuion-a measure that cannot
be much longer delayed.

The Bond Debt.

There are strong and irresistible rea.
sons why We should commence paying If
the bond debt now in greenbacks, and
complete it as speedily as possible. These
bonds continually drain the money from
the people, and tie up and centralize cap
ital. Whenever an enterprising citizen
makes one or two hundred thousand dol
lars, instead Of building railroads, ,impro-
wing our farms or towns, or purchasing
produce from the farmers, he will make
an Investment where he will run no risks,
and can entirely escape the burdens of
taxation. He will invest in these bonds,
whereby in perfect ease and security he
can retire from responsibility and duty to
society, and as inevitable as fate draw his
six or twelve thousand dollars per annum
in gold as interest. You cannot tax him
to support State, county. or town. or to
keep up the roads on which he travels
If he has children his neighbor may be
taxed to educate them, bu. you cannot
reach him. Such system cannot be de.
Tended. Those who try to fasten it on
the country will soon hear the thunde:s
Of an indignant and aroused people.

The Third Congressional District.

Hon. G. L. VALLANDIaHAM has been
nominated for Congress in the Sd Gen.
gressional District. The District is com.
posed of the counties of Butler, Mont
gomery, Preble and Warren. The vote
in 1866 stood, SoHENoK l5,027; Ward
13,96O-Radical majority 1867.
! In 1867 the vote for Governor in the
District stood: THURMAN 14,940; HAYES
IA, 462--Democratic majority 47s. Dem
ocratic gain in one yesr 1,545.
ScHENcK is VAL's opponent, and we
predict that his Congressional career will
terminate on the 4th day of March, 1869.
His political laurels in this campaign will
about equal his military renown, won by
charging earthworks with passenger
trains over in Virginia.

in Congress, and he is one.
