l Terrible Wall Going up From
frightened Men,

The two chairmen of the territorial
committees, George Ainslie of the demo
cratic, and H. NJ. Bennett Of the repub.
lican central committee, have issued O
singulnrily pitifu wall and call for a
meeting at Boise City, to devise means
and ways to hedge the wishes Of the
North. They evidently are alarmed.
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth'
is shown in their case with great dis
tinctness. They know they have nsed
their official position to oppose an limo
cent people who have only asked that
their rights, as American citizens, be re.
spected by congress, and that aftor the
consent of a majority of 5000 Of the
whole people Of the territory, and the
full consent Of the conventions of both
parties, which they claim to represent,
by resolutions, enacted and published to
the whole country. They must aim
their batteries to the people Of the
North, for no other section has ever
asked to be disintegrated from Idaho to
become part of any other state or terri
tory, and both of you great chairmen
know. you lie when you charge to us
auSht else than what the great majority
Of the people Of Idaho, have once grant
I'd. We say to both democratic and
republican parties of the South, give to
he world honest and truthful men as
,hairmcn Of your central committees, and
hey may command our respect, but
hese fellows tremble like King Bel

What Of it?

Dispatches Of tho 10Th inst, inform
us that by the terms Of the lease as tax en-
by the Union Pacific and the Northern
Pacific jointly "the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company will be operated by
the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
companies FOR ninety nine years." So
that in our life time We are to have no
more Oregon Railway & Navigation
company to deal with. But We are to
deal with the Union Pacific and North.
ern Pacific till some other company comes
into our country, as their interests are to
DO joint. 1t is natural to infer
that if any new roads are to be
built that it will be the result of joint
and not separate authority so far as
the country between the Bitter Root and
Cascade mountains, and the same will be
their joint action in running steamboats,
on the Snake and Columbia rivers.
Whether Mr.. Potter will remain in the
authority of both these companies on this
coast, is not made apparent as yet. 1t
may reasonably be supposed that neither
OF these companies will now seek to
cripple the business of the other 60 far
as their joint interests extend. 1t NAV
hasten the building of railroad up
along Snake river, or the building Of
more boats to do the business of the
country along said river. Anything to
meet the wants of the country. We
shall see.
