The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1866-07-07

We shall here make mention Of another
q happy knack of our little man, and con.
clude He seems to fear that his patrons
have no faith in his promises, and hence he
essays to press them into conviction. The
stability of his paper and his most positive
assurances to maintain it where it is, are
especial points to dwell upon. He certainly
has a right to feel some agitation on these
heads We distinctly remember that while
ourself and several prominent Democrats in
Lame county were using every means TO in
tuce, and finally to compel him to keep the
Review there in 1861, he was continually
scheming aud secretly manuvering TO re-
move it to Salem or Portland, or Dalles City
-as he threatened to do. lie even went to
the trouble Of u hurried night journey to Sa
lem, in December, 1851, taking with him
the subscription book of the Review, there
Ito dispose of the list, good will, &e., to the
owners of the Arena, and, notwithstanding
this, he had the effrontery to publish in an
issue of the Review, two weeks subsequent
ly, statement, alleging that certain parties
had falsely rumored that his paper was to
be removed: that there was no foundation
for any such rumor; and that the persons
who circulated the rumor did so from itself
interested motives, And he dared to say
this when he was tho onlv person who had
originatcd, circulated, and given cause for
&bo ,,,,,,,. ls.,..afFt
\ Again, in late issue Of the Review he
Akarls at an Abolition cotemporary for hav-
Ting said or intimated that the Review was
about to stop publication, and assures his
readers of its permaneney at the State Capt..
tall Now, we assert, in the face of this
declaration of the little man in his Review,
that he has himself given good reason for
such a rumor. Weassert that he has during
the temporary suspension Of our paper, at-
tempted TO get possession Of it, and that he
proposed TO leasG the of.iee he has at present,
and to come here and run this paper. Ifhe
proposed 10 continue the Review. why did he
act thus 9
Our object in saying these things is not
out of any feeling with reference to the little
imam himself We know him-know hin,
thoroughly y-and know him to be the most
iincorrigible liar, petty rogue, and migrate,
iit has eyer. been our misfortune to encounter.
But EeSean neither harm nor benefit US.
We fire perfectly Indifferent as to his good or
evilopinions. We are aware however, that
there are many good Democrats in Oregon
who have taken his paper, who ao not know
him. They believe he really edits Or writes
for mis- own papers We can assure them he
does not, because he can not. They believe
him TO lie a Democrat from principle We
can Cite them to host Of considerable saJ.:
tferers in Lane county who viii he ready to
assure them that he has always exaeted
Ipretty round pay for his party services. He
is now on his Inst legs. Because he did no,
get the nomination for State Printer, he yir-
tualiy opposed the ticket. He is totally un-
worthy Of the support of Democrats, on
every proper score. We caution Democrats
against placing any further trust or conf.
denee in hiE. lie has forfeited any claim
he ever had on the party.
