w that we take our leivt of the
patrons ef tba paper On the 3rd
day of June, 1807, mere than fifteen
leag year ago, we first entered thia
office at "devil" while Abbott, BrewB
A Travers were proprietor, and
nave teen eoaaected with it ever
alaee ia the capacity ef either com
poaiter, foreman, business manager,
editor or proprietor.. .Iany have
keen the change which hive occurr
ed since that time, and the old aaao-
eleUons make even the material of
the office dear te u. The circulation
was at first am ill, but we have eeen
it Increase quire by quire until it new
exceeds that ef any ether weakly
ejawapaper In the State outalde of
PorUand. We have became person -aity
aoqnatoted with a majority of
the subscriber, and ia apeakiug te
:iy through the aper, and
to give them what they
wished ia the line ef new, we have
learned to love the medium through
which we cen versed with them, and
it la now almost like parting with
one of our family when wo give up
the D mot rat. Wo weuld not novo
had not oar other businees
such that it prevented us from
giving the) paper as muoh attention
as it should receive. The members
of the now firm of Chamberlain k
Stives need no introduction from us
to the readers of this paper. They
eiiiseeai of our county for

acquaintance throughout the entire

been cenneeted with a newspaper
but wo can vouch for their ability
integrity, energy and Democracy
and aa experience will soon fallow

And now, wishing the patrons ef

Oa the ova of fotnj to press with
our iet iaaua, C IL Stewart, who for
ee many jeers has shared ia the
fal management and control of the Dene
oust, severed his connection therewith,
and it now oomee out noder a partially
now management. In asiaming con
trol ef the DaxoCRiT, we have eniv
to my thai we shall endeavor to make
it in every respect a newsujer worthy
of aha patronage it baa s long enjoyed
at heme and abroad.
Far a little over seventeen years,
the iTRMeoRAT has been aa anwaver
tag advocate ef the principles ef the
Democratic party. Io the future as
in the peat, the Democrat shall oe as
naawervingly Democratic as enr knowl
edge of the tenets, and love of the doc
trines ef that party, can make it. The
ad veeaoy ef the cause ef the tax-ridden
people of our common c mntry will
ever he oar higheat aim, and the main-
of Democratic principle our
imbttion, and if we fail in any
ef heae purposes, it shall he from a
wont ef ability rather than a lack ef
intention.
We eelieva firmly ia the doctrine ef
a strict construction of the constitution,
of the restriction of the growing tenden
cy te the c mtraliz ttioa of power in the
Government, of reduction of
namW of federal office-holders,
and the laductiwi of the eaormeoa
taxes directly aa 1 inlirec'Jy levied
epon the laboring maae of the country,
and aa occasion requires, it abail he
oar aim to fearlessly discuss these mat
ters fro.o ear etandpeint. But ia enr
feeble endeavors to further the cause
of the D imecrncy we shall net lose eight
ef the interests of onr yet young 8tate
of ear county, and enr city. Situated
as we are in one of bs finest agrieu 1
tural districts in the world, our farm
ing interests are among the most im
portant, and the Be OCR AT will always
give a hearty we'eons1 to correspondence
from the farmer and we shall try te
make its col inns ef interest te them
by fell market reports and all agri
eolteral news items ef interest.
We dial I oa careful to collate and
give piece in our columns to all import
ant news item ef the week an 1 be
sidee austaiuing the reputation the
Dsuxjrat be asqntreJ as one ef the
hoot paper ia the Stat, we will en
deavor to make It second to none.
In return we desire to ask from the
assay patrons of the Democrat the
kuadlv aid and co-operation they have
tr . -
extended to it in times past.
It requires money to m ike a success
of any enterprise, and a newspaper is
no exception to the rule.
There are many responsible men wht
are indebted to the D smocr at for t wo

Ths scenes enacted at Salem, at tan
daot upon the attempt of Bepablioan
members of the legislature o elect
United Sutee Senator, are a shame and
disgrace to the people of the State.
Charges and counter charges of bribery
and corruption are freely and openly
indulged in. The cheeks of dwuetit Re
publicans are nude to blush with shame
at the attitude which the party has
been made to aeeome in consequence of
theeeiltagraeeu! scenes enacted by the
oheaan leaders and tepreeentativea of
the party. No wonder, thoughtful
Republicans are beginning to inquire if
the nartv has uot outlived its day of
usefulness, and should not go lute
liquidation. These bickerings nnd
strifes are the natural outgrowth of the
workings ot a party U at hae oast off
and deserted all principles of go tern
mental polity, and devoted it whole
strength nad power to the acquisition
of the spoils of office. They are the
counter part of the exhibitions enscted
at Albany, Near York, when the friends
of Conkling and Piatt attempted to se
cure their reelection sfter the resigns
tion of these gentlemen, if rand, for
eery, and deception ware the chief
means used by the friends of Kelger
to secure hie nomination for Governor
by the late Republican convention
Now York. Regular and ay stem a tic

of strength used by the friends of HeteO

it u becoming uy more sen wo
a vexed question as to what constitutes
the ptiuolple oCthe lUpubttcan party.
In the Statu of New York, if they have
lately exhibited any well defined princi
ple, it was that of making a corrupt
bargain with Tammany, by which they
were enabled to control the organisa
tion of the legislature of that State, and
r few unimportant and iniignineasst"
clerkships. The honor end proud name
of the party wee thus stigmatized and
burdened with reproach aud shame in
order to be able to diattibute a few
clerkships to the faithful followers.
Siaoe which time the party in that
State seems to have fallen into the
hands of ths worst snd most vicious
element of the party, aa shown by ths
circumstances attending the nomination
of Folger for Governor by their conven
tion, lately held at Saratoga. Judge
Robertson, collector of diatoms in New
York City, was a member of the Repub
lican State Committee, which was called
to meet at Saratoga on the day preced
ing the meeting of the Republican Con
vsntion, but, owing to sick uses iu his
familv, was unable to attend the meet-
o 9
tug of the committee,
When the committee met, Comioia
siooor French, a Stalwart, pieeented s
telegram pur(orting to he from J edge
Robertson, authorising French to set as
proxy for him at the meeting of t h- com
mittee, lie ess admitted to the meet
ing aad by Lis vote the Bute Conven
tion wss organised in the interest of
Arthur's sdmiuisl ration, end, as a con
sequence, the President's candidate,
(Folger,) was nominated (for Clover uot.
When it a as loo late, it was feuad that
the dispatch, presented by French to
the con van tion, authorising him to eat
far Robertson, was a forgery, and it
was thus through forgery, that the
administration was enabled to control
the Republican State Contention of
New York, through the influence of
which, PrenJ ut Arth ir and his friends
hoe to pave the way for hi renom
i nation to the preaideucy in lftftt. It
wiH he remembered that J udge R d tart
eon is the great If alf-breed leader of the
State, through vli.se active energy and
political sagacity Coakliug and lialt
were defeated in the Naw York legis
lature for United States Senators aft- r
they had reeigned their seats, brcaoee
they ould not control the Federal pat
rena w ef tLetr State. So that the only
iaaue presents 1 by the Itta tors of th
Republican part; iu X -w York is real
ly ae te who shall bo cl ined with the
eScial power and patronage of the
State and Federal governments. This
is no partisan statemer.t ef the ooudi.
lion of things in New York, but is such
aa is gathered from the Ripnbltcan j r-an
of that State.

and we are met with the aame condition
ef things. There a m.st bitter and un
relenting warfare is being waged be

Bet to the thinking man it ia evident
that thj animus of the tirht is the
loaves an 1 fithes. Bit the question
arises how can the leader of that prty
retain their power ovet, ami hold on,
the devotion of their followers, if tby
have become dovaid of principle end bare
sunk to the level ef mere political ad
venturers and scrambler for place and
power 1 We have faith enough in the
keety of porpeee, aad love of right
and fair dealing among the great rank
and file of the Republican party, to say
that we believe that party muat change
ite leaders and place iuelf squarely be
fore the people of the oouutry as their
friend and advocate, or it muat iuarite-
bly pes into oblivion covered with th
anathemas of its former aupKrter

We turn te the republic in psrty of
Virginia, and there we find it tbecoa l-
utor aad supporter of the men
who hsve mad repudiation ths esta
blished policy of the State goremraeut
n North Csrolins th-y have fused with
all the ism in the State with th-
hope of securing the offices, without the
least regard to the principles of the
various factions which compose the
party. And altho igb that party claims
to be hard money men, yet iu Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, West Virginia, Ale
ut, Georgia and several other States
they have united with Urco'tbackors to
secure ollice.
It would be an imult to the ltrge
number ef heuotable and honest men
who make up thi great voting element
ef the Republican ptrty to say or inti
mate that that party can continue ite
hold upon the country while it baaie of
action and conduct remaius the s i me as
now. True, if the Democratic party
had to go before the country, suhject to
the same criticisms that now attach
to the Republican party, it would be
crushed out at once, ani th tt by ite
own followers, but whatever hold the
Ripublioa i party has upon tho coun
try now, is that given and maintained
by the influence of the spoils ef ofiloe.
The New York Tribune speaks of
the Democracy of that State a a
ptrty without a leader." It looks as
though the Republicans might bo
described as "leaders without ti ptr
ty." Foloer had better be looking about
for a soft place to fall. Toe tumble
from a position in the cabinet to the
shade of private life will j r hie old
bones cons! lerahly.

is that he is now beaten. Unless
