HG- One of the Puritan Fathers"

IA One of the Puritan Fathers" in
forms us that he believes enough money
was collected to pay the hall rent, baker,
bill, and other outstanding bills of the
New England dinner, and paid to the
Treasurer Of the New England Associa-
ton. Ifso, We hope the Treasurer will
not longer delay paying these little bills,
or at least, make a statement of the
condition Of the funds. We shall, as
an act of justice, publish the names of
those who have paid their proportion of
the expenses, if the Treasurer neglects to
perform this duty.

Of the repast. We think Judass price

ANOTHER OUTRAGE-INDIANs " NOT
TAXED."-A friend from Chehalis county
informs us that the County Commissioners
of that county have ordered that twenty
five Indians be placed upon the assessment
roll, that being theirquota of manufactured
voters to be made to the order of the
Gar6elde Executive Committee. This
action is being taken under partisan and
unwarrantablc construction Of the suffrage
act that to tax Indians cndows them with
all the political privileges Of citizenship
What next? We expect that this COM
bination of wisdom will before the close of
the canvass, order that twenty -6vc dogs in
Jefferson county, or fifty cayotas in Kitsap,
be detailed for special service at the polls
Iu these days Of fragrant outrage there is
no act so low, mean or contemplate, that
will cause much surprise. The public can
rest assured that if there is anything dirty
left undone by the Garfelde clique, it is
simply because they have not thought of
it. We do not believe, however, that this
scheme of the Garfelde party has the
countcnance. in any degree, of the Indian
authorities.

IMPoRTATIONs.-The Garfelde party,
it is believed, is importing large numbers
of men into the Territory to vote at the
coming election. \ passenger from Port
land informs us, that when the steamer
was about leaving for Monticello recently.
some half dozen men came aboard, and
one exclaimed: Here goes for Garfelde. )"
One of his companions muttcred in low

resorted to in the coming contest? May

bag officials and imported voters, it is
hoped that the free will of the people will
be crushed, and the best interests of the
Territory delivered into the keeping of the
monied monopolists of Oregon.

Imported Politicians.

Our Territory, although one of the most
remote districts ofthe Cuion. is the noted
resort of broken down politicians Of the
Republican party. No sooner is one OF
these slipping animals defeated ia the
Fast than off goes the head Of some offend
ing official to give place to the defeated
pet, be he Jew or Gentle.
1t is a wise provision which allows our
Delegate to be chosen by the people. al
though experience may indicate that even
with the elective franchise, the people
may sometimes be dupcd, their best inter.
ests sacrificed, the work and expectations
of years defeated. Such lesson has been
afforded by the record of Gar6clde. lie
has violated every trust reposed in him by
the people Of this Territory. He has sold
himself, body and SOUL to ncighboring
State, and now has the eif'rontcry to again
solicit the suffrages of this people. 1t is
the imperative duty ofevery man, of what
ever creed he may be, who has desire
for the prosperity Of our Territory, to see
that this political trickster is not returned
to Congress. lie was one of these g i'm
portations," to begin with, has "boxed the
compass" in political and moral sense,
and he trponed himself from the country
in its hour of sorest need. We look in
vain for word or act showing his sympa-
thies to have been in consonance with his
present professions during all that memoir
able struggle. Notorious as a gambler, is
it surprising that he should resort to all
the tricks in the game to win? DO the
people want any further evidence of his
duplicity, treachery and general rotienncss,
than that afforded by all his past record !:
The Democratic party present Hon. j.
d. Mix, man of acknowledged ability, a
pioneer who has aided in developing the
country, one who by patient industry has
contributed in no small degree to elevate
and advance the objects Of civilization in
the portion Of the country in which his lot
has been cast He is contrast to his
competitor, an honest man, above the
trading tricks Of Selucius Garfelde'
Garicldes supporters, the imported pol
iticians are cracking the Federal whip.
The edict went forth commanding all,
in place, from L. S. Marshal to Chief
Justice of our District Court, that Gar
frldc must he nominated anil elected.
Let the people look at the issue as it is
make. Let them rise above party. Let
them choose between an honest Democrat
and a dishonest Republican, and our in

Catching Spfes.

1t must be admitted, however, that the
Parisans are not entirely without cause
for their apprehensions, and that un-
doubted spies are arrested every day.
