38'- W, 11. Anna's, Help, who, it nill
be recullcctetl, issued proposals, in connec
tion with Mr. E. 'l‘. (luxx, {on publishing
a nenspnper nt Stt-ilat'oom, l'ierce county,
has recently returned to this Territory,
from a visit to the Willamettec \alley,
whither he llull repaired to perfect his ar~
rangemcnts to commence the publication
of the Puget Nuunrl Courier. It is Well
known by all uho took an interest in the
establishment of the paper, that its advent
was more or less contingent on the safe ur
riral in Oregon of the large new prdnting‘
establishment of A. Bcsn, Esq., which was
lost on the steamer "Southerner." And
as a report had obtained circulation that
Mr. Ail-'IECK had abandoned his original
intention, we would state that Mr. A. is at
present here, and, in a few days, designs to
start for San Francisco for the purpose of
obtaining, if possible, a new press, type,
kc.
_V-_*_.
3- A correspondent and good democrat
has placed in our hands a communication
detailing the manner in which the Know
Nothings of Steilacoom, attempted to “rope
him" into the wigwam of that place. He
happened to satisfy his curiosity hefore tak
ing the oath, and has furnished as with a
list of the members present at the time.—
The order hereabouls may he assured that

at the proper time.

“There seems to be some tliflerenee of
opinion between the agents of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and the Postal
agent of California, about the responsibility
0 sending the mails on the late Steamship
Southerner. The Postal agent contends
that the mails were placed on board of the
Southerner by the voluntary aet of the
agents of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany. and that neither the Postal ugentnor
the Postmasterrf San Francisco, exercised
any authorityi the matter, as has been
allegéd.”—l’ortland, ( Oregon) Stamford.
All we have to say about the matter is,
that responsibility should attach in some
quarter, and the man that was base enough
to use a rotton condemned old hulk as the
Southerner was known to be, to ship val
uable freight upon—and the company or
authority that was reckless enough to place
the U. S. mails for Oregon and Washington
territories upon her, should be made to
[and for tho outrage, and foot a bill of ten
times the amount of loss sustained. The
mails, in all probability, will never he re
covered, and the individual loss of Mr. A.
Bean, of the Oregon Slammn, alone, is
said to be some 312,000, without the pros
poct of recovering to the amount insured.—
Hanging would be to good for men who
would wantonly jeopardize the liven of pas
sengers and crews, and the loss of valuable
freight, by presuming to infest the trade
with such utterly culls: crafts as the South
srner proved to he.

. ‘- Ths attention of the reader is di
rected to a perusal, on the first page of to
day’s paper, of a petition addrcsaed to the
Canodian Legislative Assembly. asking for
the grant of a charter by the name of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company, grunt
ing the right of way, &c., for its commence
mat and construction through territory
over which the British government exorci
laa jariadiction, and asking for other privi
llges. The petition, it will be seen, ls sign
ed by responsible and influential gentlemen,
aadmay be looked upon as the entering
wedge to the stupendous project ultimately
destined to reach the waters of the Nortlr
In Pacific.

where, in today's paper, “ill be found full
particulars of the wreck of the above pro
peller oil' )chuiey’s Point, on the south
side of the entrance of Esqnimalt Harbor.
The memoranda of the parser, Mr. Tm‘iux
11. Frmrn, will explain the immediate
cause attending the disaster, and the com
munication of 11. lt. Caesars, Esq., detail
iug occurrences, before, at the time, and af
ter the wreck, will be read with interest,
and all the facts, relative thereto, be at
once obtained. it is shown conclusively,
that the vessel was staunch and sound to
the (we, and withstood the breakers that
dashed her on the roek-girt coast, for a
length of time that probably would have
literally annihilated any vessel trading on
the Sound, at a single dash, and consigned
all on board to a watery grave. She
was more than sound—she was emphatically
strung—neri'ed with iron in all her purl-‘3
which fact, but for the unfortunate fate to
which she has been subject, would proba
bly never hare been nsecrtained by those
who had in advance of trial determined to
doubt, and whose curiosity, wish, and dis
appointment nre all now manifestly gratified.
A new boiler was all the “ Tompkins "~ rc
qm, to render her a safe and sea-worthy
ste -r, capable of perfonuing all the hu
siness afforded on the Sound, for some time
to come, and to continue for many years in
the trade after business had induced stran
gcrs to make their appearance amongst us.
It is due to Capt. J. M. llcxr and Mr.
Jens 11. SI‘itANTOX, master and supercargo,
to state, that the steamer was brought
from San Francisco here at their own linz
ard, and to ascertain, from practical opera
tions, if the commerce and business of the
Sound was suifieient to keep a steamer alive
or not. The experiment proved satisfacto
ry. An active business of more than six
months, demonstrated that a steamer could
pay expenses, independent of a mail con
tract on the Sound, which the parsimony
of the Post Master General seems deter
mined to deprive us of direct to San Fran
ciaco. Through the determined energy,
and self-sacrificing exertions of the abhve
named gentlemen, the “ Tompkins ” broke
the ice, established a fixed fact, that by
careful management, prudence, and exer
tion, ita receipts might be made equal
to expenses, and as the pioneers of ateam
navigation, are entitled to something more
than gold thanks, often the only reward
of auceetguladrenturea.
The a . faateutner will now be
most seriously felt. There are, as yet, no
mail routes under contract along the Sound,
farther down than Steiiacoom. The .for‘
mer mode of travel, in canoes and email
sailing crafts, will again hare to be mort
ed to—transportatiou aill hate to find it:
way, from point to point, as heat it can.—
Saiiing reach and tonago of all kind: will
be compelled to bid. the time of wind and
tide, and a darker abode will be added to
the present dullneaa of helium operations.
Who is it that donbta that we require an
ocean steamer on our water: P But we
trust the next one will bring with her A
mail contract, authorizing its regular cou
veyane'e from the head of Puget Sound to
Sou Francisco.
It will be seen that tho oliocra, crew and
passengers were all saved through the good
management of Capt. Hunt, and were treat
ed in the moat hoopitabio manner by the
citizens of Vancouver's Island.

‘for which we are contending Not having
‘nny principles of their ovrn, other than arci‘
iconceivcd itt midnight conclave, which they;
iund their co-adjutors dare not discuss or}
‘crcn openly uvow, the regulnr democracyi
lwill be driven to assume an entirely defen-i"
lsive position—and we now put the question I,
l—will the true and faithful members of our ,
.party make one united effort to overcome!t
a hydra-headed opposition, or will they 'y
ground their arms, and calmly permit clique, !,
caucus, and moral treason to the party, tol
assume a dictatorship, and betray the de~ I
mocracy into the hands of the most deadli- ‘
est of cnemies—«lcsrrtcrrfmm the house-hold
of (It: true faith .7 ,
For one, we will not yet despair of suc-‘
cess, although well aware that every efl'ort 1
will be made, which an oath-bound alliauccl‘
of heterogenious elements can invent, to ‘
place the power and reins of our Tcrritori-li
nl government in the‘ hands of a masked t
inquisitorial tribunal—dispensing its farorsl
to its political “ Danite " assassins, in pro- l
portion to the amount of injury inflicted on
the party opposing its plans and plottings. ‘
In this county, in Pierce, King, and Lew- ‘
is, at least, a desperate eflort will be made 1
to secure the triutnph of know nothingism,
in some shape. Are the old veteran natu- t
ralized democrats of Pierce and Lewis pre
pared to support for oflice, men holding to
‘t‘tllt‘ll anti-democratic and anti-republican
tdoctrines as is inculcated in the teachings
‘of the know nothings? Are stteh men as l
T. M. Chambers, Esq., J. R.Jackson,.E i, ‘
Messrs. L. Smith, M. l’. Daugherty, Hugu
ry Murry, John Bradley, and many others,
disposed to witness the triumph of a partyl
which would deny the rights of foreigners ‘
to exercise the privileges of freemcn, with
out a residence of twenty-one years—ex
lcluding lhem—disfranchising them forever ‘
ifrom holding cities 1' The bold pioneers of
civilization and settlement in this Territory
can never, we think, be induced to endorse .
such prescriptive doctrine—so opposed to
the spirit of our institutions.
But if we are to be defeated at the bul
lot box, We are willing to abide by the re
sult. For one, we have no desire to tri
umph tltrough mid-night conspiracy, fraud,
or double-dealing. l! we are ever success
ful in doing any good, we prefer to do it in
day-light, without the aid of secret oaths,
mysterious grapples. and lnid-night con
clavcs. Our advice to all who are now, or
intend becoming members of the secret or
ganization, is to ”do nothing within the
order, which you would be ashamed to ac
knowledgewithout it.” You cannot enter
it, and come forth clean in your own sight.
You should not attach yourself to any cott
fraternity from which your escape is impos~
sible. If the object be to refor‘ present
political abuses, an open course is the speed‘
iest and surest. But if persons are bent
on doing wrong and cheating their fellows,
they will surely become miserable and dea
pieablo in the subterranean caucus—their
resort for evil doing.
We nre, in every sense of the word, op
posed to the institution, and we expect in
return to have visited on us the united op
position and anathemaa, secretly, publicly,
and personally, of the order in our midst
and adjacent. Did we seek to steal in
' to public favor for cities, or otherwise, we
would seek to become amember. But we
are honestly opposed to the spirit which
gave it birth, and the object of its exist
ence, and are not prepared to foreawaar our
allegianca to the democratic party, or '
“ Band the supple hinges at the has
That thrift may (allow fining."
We consider the organisation at large,
a daugerom weapon, and that the main
wires, directing its pulling operations, are in
the hands of unscrupulous, uuprineiplod po
litical eharlitaus, and "ground and lofty
tumblers,” who, being cast oil, and kicked
out of all parties, have made avirtaa of
necessity of leagueing together in a secret
association; and who, having nothing to
low, will use it for the worst of purposes
when an opportunity presents itself. And
although a proportion of the rank and file
of the order hereabouts, may be honest,
_ sincere, but dem'mi as to its ultimate teu~
dency, they should remember that treache
ry and falsehood, inculcated in their ritual,
will never succeed in the end ; and we will
not yet despair of the success of the party
although its members ride rampant through
out tbe whole length and breadth of the
- territory on the back of this formidible as
sociation, goaded on by the leaders of the
whig party—their aids and comforters.
