Suppose the rebel army of Virginia
had taken a fancy to put Gen. Mead at
its head-which would have changed its
policy, Mead or the rebel army? How
much would Charles Frances Adams or

do for Republicanism, with the whole
Democratic party and minute fraction
of Republicans to back him, and Cab

THE RESOLUTIONS.
Judge Steele, from the committee or
resolutions, submitted the following =

ResoIUed, that first we cordially approve and in
dorse the present national administration and COM
mend 1t as distinguished among the best of our
history for ability integrity, economy and fidelity
to principle,
Second-The first preference of the State is for
the nomination of Grant and Colfax, and we wish
our delegates to regard that preference SO far as
upon consultation with the delegates from other
states they shall lind that preference consistent
with the harmony of the republican organization,
the welfare of the common cause and the success
full and permanent establishment of republican
principles. To these candidates all others should
yield.
Third-We deeply regret the detection of repub-
iicans from the regular organization We believe
that the objects of reform protested to be right bv
the liberal republican movement are mainlV such
as can be secured only in the republican party,
while the only practical result Of the movement
Will be to strengthen the democracy.
Fourth-We deprecate the restoration of the
democratic party to power as endangering the
equal laws which, against the opposition of that
party, have recently been engrafted upon our sys-
tenn, as preventing any further progress in the
same direction, and as likely to lead to the allow
ance of unjust and excessive southern war claims
against the government, which would greatly in
crease taxation and severely impair the national
credit
Fifth-We pledge ourselves anew in this, our
first State convention for two years. to the great
leading aims OF the republican party,-namely the
most complete liberty and the most exact equality
of right under the law for all men throughout the
republic the promotion of the education, intelli-
gence and thrift of every class, and especially Of
the laboring class of population the most
strlct observance or the public faith both toward
our creditors by the payment of the national debt
and toward our veteran soldiers and sailors by 9

ITS REAL OBJECT.

1t is '.a wheel within Wheel" and
its real object is to prevent the adop-
ton by the larger Convention of any res
olution in any way favored with pro-
lection. Should anything prejudicial
to the free trade interests occur in the
larger Convention, the president of this
side show, Judge Ranney, will endeav-
or to protest, and will claim that respect
for the edicts of his little institution
which the Council of Ten used to com
mend in large assemblies of the Sons of
Malta.

THE REUNION AND REFORM CONVENTION
Which is side show to the "Beat

amounted to much. Only nine out of
the seven-and- thirty states, to say moth
ing of the Territories, were represented
at to-days session, and some of those

lures of his which Bierstadt took to New
York were conceded to be the best still
life pictures ever seen in New York, of
course I don't mean to include Rosa
Bonheur's Horse Fair-for that, you
know, can not be said to be still life
painting--for the horses are trooping
along the road, and one, the central fig
ure, is rearing up frightfully.
Then there was also sprinkling OF
poets, among them joaquin Miller, and

said he reminded her of his poetry,

think, because having just read his book
of poems, I do believe there is some
thing trife bright about him. though
he does not show to advantage.
About the pictures, I meant to have
said before, that there were few only,
which could be called good, and a great
many quite the reverse. The party was
success however, and there Is a grow
ing interest in the public mind in Ar
matters. CARRIE.

and hence the present party organ

Up-SOund Items.

APPOINTMENTS. Dispatches OF the
past week announce the appointment OF
Jos. F. Legget, of Kansas, as Governor,
and of J. M. Carey Associate Judge, In
this Territory, the latter probably super
seding Judge Kennedy, of the first Ju-
dicial District. Gov. Salomon, weiare
now convinced, did tender the resigna-
ton of his office several months ago, but
the President did not just at that time
find any of his relatives out of Office,
and hence held the request in allegiance.
We observe with regret that there is
disposition in certain quarters to make
political capital out of the action of the
Governor, by giving currency to the re-
port that he was removed at the instance
of Mr.. Garfield. The Governor is a
strict partisan, and may have his faults,
but that he has labored with super
human energy in behalf of the interests
of the Territory. none will deny

TRANSPORTING THE MA1Ls.-On We'd
nesday last, about noon, Hon. J. w.
Brazee left Portland by a steamer that
had been especially prepared for cut
ting her way through the ice, with q
large amount of mail matter, nearly a
ton, for this place. After some diff
culties the boat reached Kalama, and
there Mr.. Rrazee procured hand-car
on which he loaded the mail and started
again for Monticello, which place he
reached, ferrying the river, and de-
livered the mail in 611a hours from Port
land, about average steamboat time. 1t
was this lot of mail matter that reached
this place on Saturday and Sunday
nights. The ice had formed entirely
across the Columbia at the mouth of the
Cowlitz, about an inch thick, at the
time Mr.. Brazee was there.-Echo.
LIVELY TIMEs.-It does one good to
notice the stir in our streets Outing tho
past week. What with the arrivals of
steamers loaded with freight, and the
consequent quick movements Of innu-
merable drays and wood wagons, lum-
ber for new buildings, side walks and
plank roads being carted in every di-
rection, and the farmers, who have been
taking advantage of the fine weather
and improved condition of the roads,
to come to town with their produce,
and return laden with dry goods, gro
ceries, implements, &C., our business
streets present lively appearance, and
and make the hearts of our merchants
happy in the anticipation OF large in
crease i'll their business from this time
forth. They will not be disappointed.

AHEAvY WINDrALL.-By private let
ter, received in Olympia day or to

Bellingham Bay, has fallen heir to a
handsome fortune in the East, by the
death of near relative. The legal ex-
ecutor of the estate has notified the
Captain of his good luck, and the lat

session. He will probably come up on

Illuminating Comparison.

A shout article on the outside of this
paper. copied from the Oakland Ne,os,
leading Republican paper in California,
comparing the successful candidate for
United States Senator, A. A. Sargent.
with Mr.. FELTON,, the defeated candidate
for that Office, is full of food for rehec-
ton to all thoughtful well-wishers to
their country and its Republican form
Of government. The facts stated are
not only literally true, but like incidents
are of common occurrence in both polltl-
cal parties. It is fact which cannot be
successfully controverted, that those
qualifications which best fit men for the
proper discharge of official duties are no
longer regarded in party nominating
conventions or popular elections. The
questions are no longer asked Is he ca
pable ? Is he honest Is he devoted to
the best interests of his country when
candidates for office are to be selected
but the main consideration with those
who manage primaries and manipulate
conventions is, who will best serve theil
own personal purposes, and with the
mass of voters, is he on the regular par
ty ticket? Thus we see at every cleo
ton men nominated and voted for by
those who would greatly prefer their op
ponents in the management of any bust
ness of special importance to themselves
As, for example, ninety-nine intelli
gent men out of every hundred knowing
the two men, would concede the vas
superiority of FELTON, over Sargent in ev
cry attribute of statesman, lawyer, schol
ar or gentleman. The party politics O.
the two men are the same. Then why
should the superior man be rejected and
the inferior man selected for an Office o.
the greatest dignity and distinction il
our government There can be but one
answer to this question. Private, in
stead of public, interests control the par
ty politics Of the'country, through the
machinery of caucus and conventions
and the discipline of party, which is al
present the paramount evil of our sys
tenn, running through all its ramitica-
tions from the highest to the lowest
The same system of intrigue, bargain,
sale AMI ring combinations, which con
troll in the nomination of President,
or the election of a Senator, prevail in
the selection of all the minor offices,
clear through to village constable
Every State and Territorial capital, ev-
every county town, and nearly every
crossroads hamlet has its ring of party
politicians, who secretly manage the par
ty machinery exclusively in their own
interests. Immediately preceding every
popular election of whatever description,
these combinations of self-constituted
managers may be found in secret consul
tation from time to time and selecting del
egates and dividing up the nominations,
while the mass of the voters, the real
custodians of political power, are nc
more consulted, or their rights more
cared for than SO many cattle. A well
administered dimperial government would
be safer, better and more certain to at.
tain the ends Of justice and persona,
rights, than a popular government thus
controlled by political gamblers.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-In the q. S.
Senate, Jan. 25th, the Judiciary Com
mittee made report on the memorials
claiming the right of women to vote
under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments, and they say that the
Committee are unanimously of opinion
that said amendments do not confer the
right of female suffrage. So the logic
of Miss Anthony and the Establishments
of Mrs. Woodruff were of no avail.
This quiets the question in the present
Congress.
