Ilfll A Barnes, and they will come into ftoll possession of the name, good will, te., f. the State Rights Dbjuickat on the 11th day of Au gust cneuin;?. I bespeak lor them at this earl v d&y the confidence and patronage or the Pemoc Mcy of Linn ennnty particularlvaml of Oregon generally, t an commend them both as sterling, excellent young men, good Democrat?, superior printers, aiid in every wy capable of conducting a Democratic ntwspapcr. They have both been employed In this office for mouth past, and. du ring ; my aWenco for the fire or six weeks I was engaged in the late canvass, they labored faith felly and far beyond what was expected of them, to keep np the quantity and character of reading (natter, and to maintain the paper worthily and well. They have earned my gratitude, aDd I am tore they will earn and receive the support of all Democrat?, by their fidelity, assiduity to business, and high worth. The paper has been a success so far, and it will undoubtedly continue to be so to increase in circulation, worth, inflnencs and note. In a short time t will take my farewell of the paper, as I am about to engage in the publication of a purely business newspaper in Umatilla to be called the 1'jhtim.a Tijies, and pubii.-hed scmi weeVly. Meantime I respectfully ask old friend;" and all Democrats to yield a fair share of their patronage to the State Rights Df.mocoat. nnd to aid in sustaining it jts the best and most faithful organ of the party in this Valley. The paper will ubcrre their interest. may it not expect their faTor? Messrs. II ill A Barnes will fulfill all order. for subscription to' far sent to me, and are now authorized by me to transact any business in tho interest of the paper. Jas. O'Meara. Albany, July SYlSCfi. TOOIRPATROXS. The temporary suspension of the Dem ocrat since June 9th, has been seized upon by the enemies of the paper as an occasion ; to. vent more of their chronic falsehoods, against it. They declared it had died, given up the ghost, and was beyond the hope of resurrection. This number will assure readers and patrons particularly how foundation less ' is the first part of that story, and we further assure them that the latter part is equally false. The Democrat is, and will be maintained a lire, payinrr, nourishing Democratic journal. It will prove itself ttbe as long-lived as any of its cotempo riea, we are very certain, and is much more substantially founded than any of them, of either party, in this Valley. ;r THE LITE EL.ECTIOY. ;Thc final result of the late State elec tion is not yet known, nor will it be until the very important contests growing out of, it hall be decided by the Supreme ensuing September sessions of both bodies. 1 he figures published as " oincial in the Abolition organs we can positively assure our readers, are not tjie correct returns from some of the counties, and we are as sure as we can be of anything which is to happen that the correct returns, when finally determined, on the contests which will eertainly be made, will elect the Dem- . ocVatic candidate for Governor, and pos isbly our candidate for Secretary of State and State Treasurer also. Of the clcc tie of Hob. Jas. D- Fay by the honest, legal i13 f tne State, wfe entertain not Aade "of doubt, yet unless the next Con gress fehall be composed of men of honor and principle, of men totally unlike the Vast majority of the present House, it will be folly for him to attempt to get the ecat be is fairly entitled to in that body. Te have great hope, however, that the Congressional elections in the 1 various States during the present year will result iri Democratic victories, and, if they do, 'Mr. Fay will most, assuredly obtain his seat in the next Congress. It will please Democrats generally to know tlfot Cpl. Kelly has already served legal notice upon Geo. L Woods that be should contest the declared election of the latter to the oSce of Governor.' 'And, from vcrJ accurate information in tho premises, we can assure our readers that lucre. jaareij a uuuui as w wji. xveiij s obtalnraent of "the . office. The many and the Abolition Judges of Election in Grant, Union, Baker, Multnomah, Marion, Yam-" bill, Polk, Benton, and Jackson counties are -known, they have been inquired into. i and will form ample and very formidable grounds of contest in the matter of the office of Governor, and contests for other State offices also. it uue uj. j.u; cut uticui is buun u agatusi . . v. it J - 3 lia, uur iJitfijf lias reaiijr acuieveu a jiruuu an J most important triumph. We have gained seven counties, with full, tickets, besides "the three counties we "before held, And bid &!r to have three' other counties declared for us' bv contests.

We shall "have a maioritv of . : . . . t least 'cae and possibly of four in the Iiower U3se, and, in case of a Joint Cctiventioa fr the election of an'U.'S. Senator, we eag surely prevent the elec tion ef a Eadical ftr Abolitionist of any grade. If we eaasot elect a Democrat li'thongh we believe it possible to do so we can at least prevent the success of our ' enemies. . .: ..." - 'Bat the best part of pnrtriumpb is the Tbcfc of the election upon the common fete. The party which has been in power daring tlio. past, few years is virtually dis- kaEafii., : The late election ha demoral ited a.o.J disorganized the Abolitionists. TKr-y "hare.foBglt their last fight as a par- u vregon. iiie contest ct leus wiiJ . Jiiil the great. m;htj, swelling, .resistless hosts of Democracy in firm, solid phalant on ne side, and opposed to them will be the odds and ends, the rag, tag and bob tail of all the factious, isms and schisms opposed to Democratic principles, which can be brought or bought or leagued to gether for spoils and baser considerations ; but there w ill be no organized great party like unto the late Abolition party in this State, to battle against ih. The Democracy of Oregon have done handsomely and nobly. They have as good as redeemed the State from Radical, corrupt, oppressive rule. The enemy is scotched it not killed the next blow will be. the certain death stroke. The cam paign was ably conducted. Besides the t-aluable services ef effective speakers like Smith,' Ilaydeu, Wait, Stout, Page, Gates and Shiel, the Democracy received the masterly aid of that gallant, ever faithful, ever zealous champion of the common cause Hon. John B. Wellcr, ex-U. S. Senator from California. All praise and honor to each and all of these gentlemen for their voluntary, very beneficial service in the campaign. Our cause is again re stored to its pristine vigor ; our party in Oregon is again dominant, and so it will continue to be for vears, unless the suicidal policy of dilutiug our immortal principles with the temporary and ephem eral aud perishable nostrums of the day shall be resorted to. Democrats need simply to go on now in the old faith, true to the polar star of that faith the sub lime teachings of Jefferson. They have but to follow out the examples of the em inent apostles of the faith4, from Madison to Buchanan, and prove their integrity by their works. ,.- :v -Weil Done. The Democracy oflda ho have re-nbminated their talented and very assiduous young-champion, Hon. E. D Ilolbrook,' for Delesate to Congress He has. in his single term of office, prov ed himself ope of the most influential representatives of any constituency in Congress, and richly merited the renewal of the confidence and support of the Demo cracy of Idaho. Of bis election we have not a doubt. " The opposition have -pitted against him J. M. Fitzpatrick, who is somewhat known here in Albany, and who runs on a sort of omnibus platform, on which "all kinds opposed to Democracy negroes, Chinamen, anti-Irish, and eve ry othe mongrel or base class can find a footing. Holbrook can and will beat his striped opponent. The Montana Trade. It is now re duced to a certainty that the vast and profitable trade with - Montana will 'full; lo this slope. 'The route by way of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers cannot successfully compete, neither in time, seasonablencss, nor cost, with the Pacific slope route. This has been successfully demonstrated, and the fact is patent. A new field of enterprise is now open to our merchants and farmers, and to all branches of trade and labor generally. The heav iest merchants of Helena and other cities in Montana have thi3 season bought their stocks on this coast. Another Abolition Lie. The Ab olition organs of the State continue to lie about us. They lately declared that we had gonejo the office of the Secretary State, there taken the " test oath," and drawn the warrant due us for advertising for the State. The facts are, that we did get our pay, for the work performed, but we did not take the : test oath," or any other oath. We have never taken the " test oath." The Secretary of State was accommodating enough to pay our bill without exacting any such ridiculous for mality. The Dailt Mail. II. W. Corbett.of Portland, th contractor for the daily over land mail frpm Sacramento to Portland, took possession of the route on the 1st instant. He has made material reduction in the fare over the line, and will soon put on entirely new coaches, wagons, and other equipments for the service. We are giad to see that he retains the old and experienced employes of the late company. - ' Good. We are informed that steps have been legally taken to contest the election in Benton county. There is no doubt that Ben. Simpson voted a schooner, load of San Francisco sailors, some half breeds and even Indians; at the polls at Yaquina Bay more than twice the ma jority the Abolition ticket is claimed to have in that counly" , Good News.- A friend just from Sa lem this morning informs us that the re sult of the Polk county electiorf contest before Judge Eo'se will very surely be the election of the whole Democratic county ticket Representatives and all. The Abolition frauds are' plainly shown up in 'the investigation.' A similar re sult is expected in Yamhill county. - i . . . WooLtx Factory.

A Mr. Shoemaker of Polk county was ktelj robbed of $4,408 in gold dust by x road agent?' while on his wav down from Idaho. THE U It A XT i'OVX To illustrate to our readers the daniniug character of some of the outrages perpe trated by the Abolition canvassers of votes, we will instance the case of Grant county. Tli is county was under the rule of Gov. Gibb's appointees all Abolition ists, of. course. Tho Coufity Hoard ap pointed the places in eaet precinct for holding the polls, ami two Abolition Judges to one Democratic Judge to hold the election in each prccinel. The Board denied the petition of Democrats for pre cinct polls in two places whcref to allow to voters the opportunity to exercise the right of" suffrage, polls should have been established. These were Democratic neighborhoods, however, and by failing to establish polls there the Abotition Board well knew ihat many Democrats would be necessarily prevented from vot ing. On the returns being finally opened in Canyon City by two Abolition Justices of the Peace Whitson, and another whose name is forgotten and the Aboli tion "County Clerk, on the prescribed teuth day afler the election, the vote of five precincts were rejected. Theseprc cincts had given an aggregate vote of 759, with a majority for Col. Kelly of 119. The vote jf the other five pre cincts of the county were received, which gave an aggregate vote of 571, and Woods a majority of G.I. The pretence set up by the rascally Justices who thus took it upon themselves to disfranchise nearly three-fourths of all the legal voters, and more than three-fourths of the Dem ocratic Voters of the county, was that the returns were informal or irregularly made up.. When Col Kelly cited Whitson to the decision of the Supreme Court in the ease of an election contest between Day and Kent in Douglas county some years ago. reported in 1st Oregon Reports, and pronounced by Chief Justice Williams (thelpreseut Senator,) in which the judg ment of the Court was emphatically against such action as was taken by the Grant county Board of Canvassers, the Abolition Dogberry, Justice Whitson. replied" The fact is. Col. Kelly, I . i don't think the decision of the Supreme ; Court very good law." The arrogant ass and knave thus undertook, in his c-apaci-j ty as Justice of the Peace, to set aside! aud reverse the decision of the Supreme j Court. The Board threw out the votes: of four precincts because the certificates accompanying the returns were not made out exactly in the form and language prescribed by law, although they were each and all substantially what the law requires. The fifth precinct vote was re jected because the returns were sent iri" securely tied, but not seah-d, as the law directs. The Supreme Court says these and other mere informalities of Judges and Clerks of election shall hot invalidate or destroy the rights of the voters j the Dogberries of auyon City decided other wise. But while they were thus fast in rejecting the vote3 of the Democratic five precincts for informalities in the returns, they admitted the vote of Camp Watson, which gave Woods 101 to 14 ygtes for Kelly. The County Commissioners had appointed the poll at the Rock Creek House, and appointed .as one of the two Abolition Judges one Thornbury, a Sut ler at Camp -Watson, and an old political trickster from Siskiyou county, Cab Camp Watson is an U. S. military post. five miles distant from the Rock Creek House. Early on the morning of elec tion Thornbury called at the latter place, where the poll books had been left by the proper county- officer, and demanded the surrender of these books from the person to whose charge they had been entrusted. On receiving them he left word that when the other J udgos came to hold the election there, they should be told to re pair to Camp Watson, where he had re solved the election must be held. The election was accordingly held inside that military camp, where none but soldiers and employes of the Government could enter except by permission of the officer in command. Two soldiers, neither of then qualified electors, were appointed to act as Clerks, and the polls were abso lutely under military surveillance all day The few citizens of the precinct who were permitted to vote there, and who were Democrats, were subjected to insult, abuse and outrage, by the soldiers and officers, and several were deterred from voting their party ticket. The soldiers j were permitted to vote for both State and County offices, although several of them were minors, and not one ot them was entitled to vote the county ticket. Capt. Williams' company had been pushed through from a far off post to reach the polls, and had not been even forty-eight hours in the county. Yet their com mander insisted that his men should vote, and, his order being absolute there,' the votes of bis men and himself were re ceived. Two soldiers who voted there declare that they gave to Thornbury Democratic .tickets ; . yet their names are registered as having voted the full Aboli tion ticket. By means of this kind the vote of Camp Watson was made to swell the Abolition vote, and yet, fraudulent and illegal as it was, the very honest Justices who canvassed . the returns and threw out five Democratic precincts, saw nothing wrong in it, and received the full vote of the soldiers of Camp Watson. It is not known that the certificates and re turns from the accepted five Abolition prccints were according to law. It is only knowu that the rascally Justices. W Whitson and his mate, received them;. At tho time 'of the canvass, Judge Wil son "was holding a term of the Circuit Court in Canyon City. TJie matter was brought before the Court, and the Judge, after hearing the cast ordered that the canvassers recount the returns, nnd count the votes of the five rejected procincls. This order was equivalent to a decision that the returns from the rejected pre cincts were lawful, and would have elect ed the whole Democratic county ticket, even with the fraudulent Camp Watson vote. Tc defeat the will of the voters of the county, the Justices refused to obey the order of the Court, and at once ap pealed fhe case to the Supreme Court, where it will be determined in September. It ought to be added that Geo. L. Woods was the individual who planned and en gineered this whole base transaction ; he employed counsel to attend to the ease in Court, and offered money to at least one lawyer of his own "arty who had too muchjionor to appear in such a case, and who accordingly declined Woods proffer. Woods' object was to secure, himself against k defeat in case of contest. He assumes that the Abolition Legislators will, before deciding upon any of the eon tested seats in their owu respective Hou ses, determine the Gubernatorial contest, and, us the Abolition County Clerks will issue certificates of election to the Aboli tion candidates claiming to be elected by these fraudulent means they will be "iveu seats at once, and, before trre'ir own contests come up. will have decided in favor of Woods against Kelly. We think the base trickster reckons without his host. A large number of respectable Republicans, who know the rottenness and dishonesty of Woods, in both private and public life, and who also know of thejt Senate Mil granting aid for the const , . ,. , . .

Wall tt a, W. T., June 20. W. DiTon Democbat: Alas, how the mighty Radical party in Congress have fallen ! How these blatant scrap-book statesmen, have dropped .'bock into their wee small holes located at the small end of their horn. A few. months ago nnd th.0 addle-brained, crooked-legged "Thai" boldly assumed the position thai Congress should -confiscate all property south of" MaSoh and Dixon's line, aud parceMt out among the negroes of that region of country ; that the right of sufTrag? should at once be giveii the negroes and for ever withheld from persons (white only) wh participated in tho rebellion. Jhat if this was not dtme immediately, then the war had been a failure, and the prestTut Cougreas would be forever disgraced in the eye3 of the world. ' Thad's " marshaling, drilling. h rang ing, bawling, and howling at what he con sidered his forces in Congress, and his dis astrous failure, is only cquallel by the m- mwlals, N. P. lank, and Ben Bottle But ler of military fame, .who. with nil their howlinr, negro stealing and eotton bagging, would get whipped. Congress, seeing that if something was not done soon " Thad" would lash them to death, appointed the great Committee of Fif- teen snnpiy mat iney migni gei nu 01 ms nigger drivers' w.uip for. the time being. This Committee was intended to be a Little Congress, where the pros aud tons could be i talked over and feelers thrown out as bait to! the people. .Time was to be taken by Eaid Committee for them to Ascertain how far they could go in a wrong direction and be supported by the people for not- having been elected on this issue they did not know where they (tho people) stood. They felt aud acted very much like they had a new party to form, and that party was to be formed at the expense of Congress. Their first intentions wero to clinch everything political for the next generation, to leave nothing undone that would perpetuate their power and make awhisky drinking Con gress superior and independent of the Exec utive and Judiciary that is to say, centralize every power of government within them selves. But alas for their statesmanship, they had aone among them to shape their ends. "Thad," their leader, could tell them liko Banks and Butler did their soldiers what he wanted done, but could not tell them Aowto do it; consequently the patient died whjle the quacks were holding their consultation. Something must be done, however, if for no other reason than to show the people tbey could Ua-something. After several moiitha hard labor, they sat and hatched the groat Civil Bights Bill and what is tlTo result? Tttcv trotted oM their bantling, and lo and behold it "won't fight " don't fill tho bill. The small guhs swallowed tho "Civil Bights" bait, took the name for the .thing itself ; but they now find that tho provisions of the bill annuls all law Constitution and all ; and that the only way the Civil Kights,liul will bo ot service to mankind (colored) is to engraft it into the Constitution. ' For six months this great Congress were framing amendments to our Constitution, to bo voted on by the estates, and m loss limn a month they frame and pass a bill over the President's veto that annuls the plainest provisions of that Constitution, . Poor 41 Thad," ho is flat on his back again has abandoned his colored brethren in the South, for the present, and his last effort was to get np a counter current in favor of the poor .Mexicans., Have you seen Thad's last " Radical Battle " in favor of strictly enforcing the Monroe doctrino against Max? O, you ought to see that. It is intended as a " sop " for Seward . and Johnson. Thad got into such deep water with his first Radi cal break (he came near swamping) he is now anxious to get back under the lee of Seward and Johuson. All this proves that the Reconstruction gate must turn on the Seward and Johnson pivot or not turn at all, during the 'session of this Bump Congress. You can consider tho Radical slata "wiped off ' for the present. 1 he entne3 on u were so poorly written, and wero in such a jumbled condition, that those who dictated the items couldn't tell anything about them.

J. n. PAYN'E. CASH PAID TOR BUTTER! THE undersigned intends paying particular attention to patting np Butler for the Port land and fan Francisco market, and in order to secure a good article wonld eail the attention of the butter makers Of Lisa county to tha fact that he will pay the highest market price in Cash for Good Batter. The eorow on practice wi!h merchants of pay ing tha same priee for all grades of hotter is unjust to tiyr ths least ; and the depreciated ralne of Or egon butter in the fan Francises and other mark ets, is attributed more to this practice than any ether. Good butter is a staple article of trade in all countries, and commands its equivalent value in cash in all other plaecs except ia this valley. And as Ion? as tho merchant makes no difference between a good, choice article and a mixture of coarse salt, butter-niilk and half-churned cream, so long will Oregon Batter be below par, both in our own and in other markets. In order to remedy this eril and placs Ore-ron butter upon a par with anv butter whih comes to our market, it is neces sary that some inducements should bo offered to stimulate a desire to excell in this branch of profit able industry. And believing that cash instead of store-trade, for a GOOD MARKETABLE Article is the best means nf acquiring these desirable re sults, I would solicit the attention of Dairymen tn the fact that when they got cash for their butter hey ar more inucponuent, antf are- at liberty to tr.-ide where they cau make the best barcains.
