"We odo not desire our patrons to infer that we have become rich in the pub lication of the paper. We have made a living out of it, andw hatever we hare made beyond th.it, we have put into the improvement of the paper in giving our patrons an increase of reading matter. "We now publish more than double the amount of reading matter that was published in the ExTEr.i'KiSE w hen we took charge of it, and it shall ever be our aim to keep up in its various departments fully to the support given us. It has been our aim to make the Enterprise a good reliable local and general j news papes, besides a true and con sistent Democratic organ. It has been our object to do justice tlrst to our county and State and then the politicians. That we tire proud of the success with which ' we have met and the many encouraging endorse ments wc have received from our patrons, we do not denr,nnd we trust that in the future, as in the past, we shall be deserving of their confidence and support, assuring them that we shall 'always endeavor : make the , paper a welcome visitoi;. The En terprise shall be in the; future what it has been in the past, an independ ent Democratic paper, representing no cliiiuocpr faction, but the party and its true friends throughout the State to ask from any quarter, and eunse rpiently can act free and independent on all questions. "We shall always claini'the ri$iit to express onr opin ion freely in regard to aspirants for political preferment, and claim the privilege oDopposing the placing in the lead any and all men who have not a true party record or who may be otherwise objectionable to the masses. "3 l'rlose IU represent fihe people, and not the .politician. "This we claim to be the right and privilege of every newspaper, and if they will rxerei.se that duty, there need be no fear but what we shall always have good and true yen placed in the Held as our standard-bearers. If the press submit, or remains silent on the questions, politicians are apt to lead the "people as t ray for personal ends, and parti9s soon become cor rupt aud oppressive. It is our pur pose to conduct the Kxiy.r.ri'.isr. in the future as we. have in the past, , always reserving to ounVlves the right to eondem or. appro; e the ac tion of our own party or efficials as well as that of our opponents. "We are independent of the eon..ol of pol iticians or cliques, and this independ ence, we shall exercise in accordance with our judgment to the best inter ests of our State and party. "We re turn our sincere thanks to our adver ing and subscription natrons, and assure them that wtVnall ever aim to j deserve their good wishes and sup port. "With these remarks, ve enter into servieo for another ;ear, and hope that our relations witli all our patrons at the close of the present volume may be as pleasant and agree able as they are at the commencement.

Having been on this ceast since 181'J, and being but a small boy when we arrived in California, we could hardly remember anything of the country east of the Kooky Monntains, and naturally had much curiosity to see that great section of our Union. The difference in going and coming this time was quite a contrast from that made in 18-ith That time Ave were just nine' months some noteel lawyer. The opinion in the Louisiana ease was written by Butler. Moreover Mr. "Williams went to Washington poor, with an ambitious wife and a certain position to maintain. His salary has not been more than enough to support his ex penses, yet he is now regarded as a rich man worth, probably, half a j million.

One ef the great est draw-backs to Oregon is, that the his no through connection for trav el. Had we a railroad or cthor means of cheap travel our State would rapidly settle up. There are thousands who would com' if it was not for the fact it takes nearly their all to pay their way out here. The people back in that country have but a faint idea of our State. Few know the beauties of our rich and fertile' soil, our magnificent cl-i mate, ond our moans of commerce'. But those who ".o, have a strong de sire to come. We are satisfied that season.

The result cf the Ohio election must bring joy to tin; heart of every ! true patriot and Democrat. It is not of so much importance thai the Democrats elect thei Governor, as it i.i that they secure the ra-electiou ef Sen. .tor Thurman.

Thompson any satisfaction in this regard, so the only tiling for him to do was to hold Myers responsible for the article. This he did in n most appropriate manner as the fe.llowing account of the affair will show, taken from the On-jouutn of last Monday: Forest Grove was the scene of a very exciting sensation yesterday, quite unfrequent for that peaceable and order-loving hamlet. The affair which created such an excitement, was a personal rencounter between two well known individuals, both in this vicinity and in other portions of the State. Thes parties were Mr. Y 'illiani Thomson of the Salem .Vr- Mays is Master and Mr. " r,y. and Frank Myers, recently of is Secretary of the new the Forest Grove inl--inih'nt. The difficulty grew out of an article which appeared in columns of the Jmbpciol t'tt, reflecting in the strongest man ner em tlie character and so-i:..l stand ing of Mr. Thompson.
