The words to this beautiful air ar
as follows:
How doth the busy candidate
His gentle voice attune.
To chin the humble logger man,
November's coming soon.

Pomery has 100 voters, and taking
this fol u basis, has population OF
500.
The hay crop in Klickitat county
is unusually poor this season. The
lightness of the crop has sent up the
price. The going rates at this time
are $40 to $l2 per ton.
Two res aurants are the only hotel
accommodations at present in Colfax.
The Thielsen house, a brick hotel
7Ox90 feet, three stories high, will
be ready for the reception of guests
in about month.
According TO a census bulletin
just issued there are in the United
States-the Territories not counted
-12,S7O,11 persons of the male sex
over twenty.one years of age. The
enumeration is supposed to have
been made in 1880, SO that it may
fairly be compared with the election
in November Of that year, when g.
2O4 ,428 ballots were cast; so that
3 ,465, $50, or nearly 80 per cent. of
the males of voting age did not go
to the polls.
The members of the colony now
at Whatcom, on Bellingham Bay
are steadily though slowly making
Roadway. Starting with nothing, as
they did, they have many difficulties
to encounter, but are gradually over
coming them and increasing in con-
fidence of the ultimate success of their
undertaking. They have erected q
heavy and substantial frame found
alton for a grist and sawmill, to be
operated by water power, and at last
accounts had nearly completed a
large ditch for a fume to convey
water to the mill. A fine stream
empties into the bay near the mill
site; this, at some distance from the
shore. they will divert to their fume
and thus utilize the water that is now
wasted. 1t is said that four hundred
members of this colony, with an ex-
cellent outfit and considerable cash,
are now on the way from Kansas.
Their arrival will greatly strengthen
the hands of the pioneers, and there
can be no doubt that all will then go
we'll with the Kansas colony if it con-
tains no discordant elements.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON TER.
OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING OClOBER6, 1852
The Voice OF the People.

The Voice OF the People.
The ticket nominated by the Peo-
Piles Convention, last Saturday,
seems to be as perfect as it was pos
sible for large number with conflict
ing personal interests and prejudices
to nominate. As stated in a former
ssue, it would have been absolutely
impossible to select the first choice OF
each individual for the many offices to
be filed. This fact seemed to be real
lied by those who participated in the
Mass Convention, and the effect was
observed in q cheerful acquiescence
in the result of its deliberations.
The nominees are, without excep-
ton, acknowledged to possess the
Jacksonian test Of honesty and cap
ability. Further than this, nothin G
more is needed to sway the judgment
of the voter than a full realization
Of the important interests at stake,
and which must be decided by the
election or defeat of the ticket nomi-
mated for this spe cial object of re.
form. The citizen who has true
appreciation of the situation, does
not now regard his choice as based
upon preference of individuals, but
upon the principles enuneiated by
the call, of which the nominees have
become the living embodiment.
Their platform is: Economy and
efficiency in the discharge of all
public duties; representation. in the
law-making power pledged only to
the people for their acts and votes
upon all public measures; officers
who will discharge their duties with
strict fidelity to the public interests,
and Q CONSCIENTIOUS regard for law;
officers whose experience and success
in private life demonstrate their
ability and sound judgment on all
matters affecting the financial stand.
ing of the county, with view of
reducing our present burdens of
taxation; officers who are free from
ring rule or dictation; men pledged
to "no party's arbitrary sway"
whose highest ambition will be to
discharge their official duties in &C.
cordance with their sworn obliga.
tiona."
Many of our best citizens have cut
loose from long maintained party at.
filiations to support this movement.
They have freely and voluntarily
subordinated preferences based upon
the creed of lifetime that their in
fuence might be made effective.
This is no common sacrifice. 1t
requires no ordinary decision of
character to make it, and probably
q less important emergency would
not justify it. But the administra-
ton of county affairs affects more
directly and keenly than national
matters. 1t goes straight down iuto
the pocket. The extrsvagance, the
proaigacy, the wauton disregard of
popular rights, must be checked.
It is no time to raise the shibboleth
of party. The rottenness has eaten
to the core. It must be removed at
all hazards. In such a cause there
can be no middle ground, nor can
there be any such word as fail, if the
people are but true to thems elves.
The peoples efforts so far have
met with nothing but cordial SYM
pathy from all who are not directly
or indirectly under the party lash,
and the reception accorded the
ticket has been so cordial that it
leaves but little doubt of the complete
success of the movement.

better control of his feelings, and
yainly exhorted his devoted adher-
ments to "away with melancholy

tor probably realized, as fully as any,
the truth of the adage, Hope long
deferred maketh the heart sick,
but having perfect knowledge of
the human anatomy he was better
able to control that unruly organ.
