i » W 'l'enlerlal Convention. i
i In Our advertising celnmn- this week;
'will Le found the all of the nlmoeru'iel
central eo-mittec. [or s lf‘rl‘itoriul . omen-l
ition ior the nomin «ion of a democratii- enn
;iliilnte {or congress. We referred to this
{subject several weeks ago, it will he remenr
,horcd. specifying the time, place, 5:0, (le
lterminul utou by the central Conimiztre
‘for the meeting of the convention.
l llszw's Mills, in Lewis county, was fixed
inpon no the place, because it was CO‘lSldL‘r'i
led that that locality was cquully .13 near,
‘if not nearer, the centre of the population i
lot the territory, 11: Olympia. An olijee-i
‘tion was also urged against the meeting of}
the convention at tho eupi tail on the ground}
(Wllll’ll we believe to hare been without'
ffonnrl’ntion, however,) that the ontxiilc pres-j
sure or influence, it was Ippl'ehclltll'tl,;
‘would enter more or less into the controll
of its deliberations. We were not only
‘lienrtily satisfied at the selection of the
pluce designated, but gave it our aupport.
It now remnlns for the democncy of the
several counties to select their dolegntel,
in due time, of loci: men n will be sure to
Ittend the convention. Nothing ll so set
iefnctory in an assemblage of our party’s
representatives for the purpose of making
nominations, u that it be fully Attended.
A full uttendance of delegates at conven-
tions not only inspires s confidence of suc
cess, as showing that the masses are urons
ed and awake to the importance of the
icontest afterwards to ensue, but it also
itends to disarm distrust, us to the fairness
with which nominations may have been
made. The democracy are ever and right
fully jealous and exacting in the matter of
delegated authority ; and as they will not
tamely acquiesce and submit in having
nominations forced upon them, obtained
through intrigue, fraud or deception, ncilli
er can they be expected to give the same
full, free and hearty endorsement to anom
inntion, made by a mere skeleton of the
ipnrty’s representatives, however fairly and
‘honornl-ly cwdueted, as they would had
isnch conrcn on been attended by a sum
|cient number of delegates to fully repre
iseot the party.
We spprshend,’however, that there will
he s full—s general attendance of dele
gates; and ot the present time, more than
at any previous period in our yet brief ter
ritorial history, it becomes and behooves
the democracy not only to stand firm by
their principles and the usages of the party,
but also to slamlfirmly and Mimi/y Ingdh
er. All must be prepared cheerfully to
yield their privste preferences us to men,
to the end that the principles of the demo
eratlc party may be kept in the ascendeut
*upheld, sustained, vindicated. The de
moerscy will be required to meet an enemy
lot the next election, that they have never
here before been called upon to grapple
with in force. The black republicans nre
quietly yet persistently- bnsy in afiectiug a
thorough orgsnizntion. Their trained
bands are already in the new, want-t the
inns recruits, survivors of defunct know
nothingism and all other isms, are being
constantly drilled in ” awkward squads"
all over the territoryrby experienced Kun
sas “slu-iekers," preparatory to taking the
field. The permanent organization of the
black republican party in the territory at
this time, will no doubt (lrnw into its em
brace n lsrge proportion of the former
“ dsrk lantern” gentry, n portion of tliei
former old line Whig psrty, sud also atl‘ordsn
most favorable opportunity for the disnti‘ec
ltod in our own ranks, to bid as an adieu
l‘md go over to the enemy. If the demoe
irney entertain the belief that the coming
ielection for delegate will be carried with
iout a struggle—if they expect victory to
tperch upon the democratic banner whilst
ithey nre snpinely resting upon their ears,
‘we worn them that their craft is on a. tide
‘ that will carry to certain—to inevitable do
:fent.

ihsve been sequieseed in nnsuimonsly, hsd .
the subject been thought of in time that t
the entire committee might have been con- i
snlted,) thst in the selection of delegates t
to the convention, at the primsry meetings 1
throughout the territory, each voter plsce 1
upon the back of his ticket the name of |
:the person he would prefer to have uomi- i
tented for delegate to congress, we regard ‘
i” altogether is good and wholesome sug
‘gestion ; and if universally acted upon, iuli
‘eonnection with the selection of delcgntes,i
we think could not fail to prove entirelyil
satisfactory. The recommendation is ccr-i
tninly tlcmccralic in the fullest sense of the’t
word, inasmuch as it would be the mass of t
the party that would decide who should be t
the nominee and candidate. It would bcjt
instructions to the delegates of the plain-. 1
est, most unmistakable character from the!
fountain head of power and authority, filllli‘
if such instructions were honestly and faith-1‘
fully executed by tin: semrnl delegatu, 1,
the routing nonreution would be but an il-f:
lustrution of an electoral college in the:
choice of president and vice president. Thei l
derision us to who should be the nominee 1
innd candidate of the democracy for dale-i

Mm on the Sound, u. l
Our fellow townsman, .\lr. Jas. K. “can,
returned during the present week from aul
excursion on the Sound, having proceeded
as far north as Port Townsend, visiting
mast of the intermediate puns. No lmiiani
disturbance or outrage had occurred at any.
place on the Sound for some time. 'l‘hel
Indians generally appeared to be quiet ;‘
and as far as he was able to observe and
determine, were disposed to remain so.
Mr. “Van gives a most flattering account
of the revival in the lumber trade, and lin
business and enterprise generally on our
waters northward. Ile estimates that
tlrere are now in the Sound at the various
mills, and otherwise, than fifteen to twenty
vessels, all taking in cargoes of lumber,
timber, km, for San Francisco and fore gn
ports. A gentleman residing on Whidby‘a
Island informed Mr. 11. that a. person dc-I
sirous of going to almost any foreign port,
would scarcely ever be delayed an unrea
sonable length of time in finding u vessel
on which to obtainn passage. The amount'
of lumber manufactured at Capt. KELLER'S
