The Democratic Territorial conventim met in the Court -House. in Helena. 01 last Wednesday, mid the Proceeding Were harmonious. The nomination Martin Maginnis tor Delegate to Coll• gress was iii eat made. This re- sult was looked for. and the announce wilt will be reeeived by the Democratie. party of Montana Territory with more or less satisfaction. We are not in the business of man -wor- shipping, but are advocating Democratie principles, and will support and adhere to the regular nominees of the Democratic party with an tualinching firmness. In the Democratic ranks !here are 111:111 prominent men who we could have a: heartily suiported and indorsed. Haul Word, Spratt, Stapleton, Dixon. Naptoi or any other Democrat received the nom- ination we would have as readily aegis, - e and workuti for his election. THE CAPITAL QUESTION - HELENA'.. DEMANDS AND BEAUTIES. As the time approaches for a deeiqns, of the Capital Question we have abund- ance of evidence of a settled sentimeni among the masses of the people of Mon- tana in tityor ef letting the Capital re- main where it is until time develops the most convenient point. A majority oi the voters of the Territory entertain the belief that by letting the Capital sta) where it is for a...couple ot years longer, that the interests ot our whole people will be better served. The arrogating oe all Territorial interests for the local ben- efit of Helena is awakening every day :. stronger feeling of resistance and tirinei resolve not to permit the men of Helena. who represent but a le.w thousands °Ned - hers oh floating capital, to make us all the subservient tools of their pet measure - one that WaS'conceived in t•ratiel, and one that is attempted to he fastened on Moo - taint by the lavish expenditure of the al- mighty dollar. The inducements held out by . Helen.. are not allitrin!r enough to sway the thoughtful voter, and make him lenu his aid in perpetrating an outrage, whien ti could possibly prevail. wouid result to :lie detriment of a developing and progis-s- sing people. Capitals are not seiecteo solely on aucount i)t geogiaphical meas- UrellIellLS-nor are capitals located at the most populous towns or cities by shopl) taking into consideration a preponeser- anee of population. The a.ssertion that Helena is Justly entitled to receive her Ur- geut demands because she teinporaril) possesses inure people than any other town in the Territory, is daily loosing the little toree it at first pos.susse..el, liu an examination of the 1114 of the 1111011 will settle Use point that large cities, sit- uate on thr otitsisiffsi of State or riat . limits, are never matte capiials. The greed of lleleua i. ta.adily advanc- ing. Every in:crest oh Montana Tt•rrhu- ry is held by Ilelenaites as secondary to Ler monopolizing propensity to devour and appropriate all. without regard to even a decent respect to the balauce oi our peoples' rightfid claims. All mus. be . nd in humble submission to Helena.

AMID TO EMS TIP - ROD MAT SMOTE MEL _ The people of Deer Lodge wanted the Capital in the ' year 1872. The question was submitted to the people.- Lewis itud Clarke count - voted as fidlows: In favor of Virginia City 1,613 In favor of Deer Lodge City 291 The citizens of Deer Lodge are now asked to kiss the hand that smote them.\ Will they do it? How much nearer and dearer is Helena to Deer Lodge in 1874 than in 172? The smart Ephraim who grinds out the heavy stuff for the Helena Independ- ent, has become unusually bl pearl\ of late. In Ins attempted reply to our ar- ticle on the Capital question, last week. he is particularly brilliant. Hear hitti: '• The Diamond (R.) propose to transport the paraphernalia oh the Capital from Vir- ginia to Helena for nothing. How many times more than that, Mr. MADIsoNIAN. el•if you say it would cost to fit up offices ? Give us figures. We like to have some cer- tait ty about things of this sort.” Great guns, what a stunner! And he wants figures! Well we would say, at least, considerable, at first and more af- terwards. Answer us this, please. II the moneyerats of Helena propose to re- move the capital paraphanalia \ gratis. what has that to do with the appropria- tions which Helena would ask for in ease lie capital were removed to that place? Helena never asks for anything. A nother out-crormi mu - s•“• - l'hAm4:' tad addled imagination Is shown in his reference to the recent survey of the boundary liii, between Madison and Gal- latin counties, by charging that the sur- rey was called for by this county for the purpose of affecting the vote on the cap- ital question. We give it as a matter of information to hat benighted individual that that stir- , - ey was made at the request of Gallatio sot of Madison county, not to afteet the. ilde on the capital, but as a matter by , vinelt these counties alone were directly o be 'affected. ::.EPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR DELL GATE TO CONGRESS.

Be it resolved by the Democratic part of Deer Lodge County in Convention as - 1st. That we place our confidence in the intelligence of the people and a uni- versal desire to have our offices tilled ‘vith men who are honest, effieient and capable, and in recognilion thereof wt• refer with pride to the management of our county indebtedness and county al- fitirs by our Democratic Board of County Commissioners, in that with only a small taxation they have annually decreased our indebtednes, during their administra- tion. 2e1; That we re -assert the principle that local self-government is the. bcst pro- tection to the liberties. industries, and permanent prosperity of every. section of our country, and we demand asa right under a rtpublican government that our officers -owe:wive, judicial and Dtinister- ial--should be elected by the peii . ple, and not selected by the Nafilinal Executive from among the Spavined pentiCia us of the East (with but few exceptions; and sent among Us to eat up our substance and ride with whip in hand over the laws of our Territory. As an instance of the necessity of the above demand, we refer to the insulting and insolent action of the present Secretary of the Territory. who prides •hinisell, on account of the \dignity\ of his position. in being above our laws and the enactments of our Leg- islature, which we deem a gross outrage to the dignity of the sovereign people of the Territory. 3t1:- That we denounce, in unmeasured terms, the reckless regard of the -present Admiaistration for holiest) . and efficiency in office, in- that it retains ,in important positions, men proven guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors ; and we cite as an instance that the Secretary Of the Treasury, after havi iig -been- driven from 'that - position by public'ophiidn, was ita- Mediately appointed and confirmed to an importaat Judicial position. 4th. That we congratulate ourselves and the people of -time Territory upon the fitet that Republican politicians and car- pet baggers ean no more- attempt to an- noy and deceive the, people - with the idea that a Republican tan - obtain - our needs awl wants as a Territory. from The National - GOVernment.

We make no War upon other po- litical organizations but ask the 'people to support - our notuineen for the -interest, welfare and prosperity of our county and Territory, with the • asSurauce that -each and all we nominate will work therefor economically- and- honesty.

Each successive Radical congress does some great and glowing act that perpetu- ates its name in the memories of the peo- ple. For instanee there was the Fortieth - it is known to fame as the Credit Mobilier congress. Then the Forty-ticat - it we the liu-klux congress. Then there was the Forty -second -it emblazoned its mime high tip on the rolls of immortality as the Salary- grab congress. And now here is the Forty- third, upon whose bright escutcheon Grandpa Poland has inscribed with that same old inspired whitewash -brush the proud legend that shall transmit it to the oncoming cycles of time as the Press -gag congress. First we had the letters of Schuyler Colfax and Nesbit, the philan- thopist. Last we have lettres de cache -I. Tru- ly the world moves. What greatness is there in store for the Forty-fourth?
