by any streaks Of good fortune, or favor
able adyeptitious circumstances, but sole
ly by industry, and tact, and economy,
and good business management. So, we
it will be here in Linn coun-
ty. Like causes produce like results.
All we ask of the public is to have faith
in our enterprise, aud to support us in
every legitimate business manner.
In order the more certainly to insure
success we have associated with us, in the
publication of the DEMOCRAT, NJ. V.
BRowN and JouN TRAvERsE--both
Democrats Of the straitest seet-both
good practical printers, and industrious,
economical, temperate, energetic men
and citizens and the public will ever
find them at their posts--attentive and
affable, and always ready to attend to
business.
A few words on one other point and
we close this already lengthy article. On
cursory examination of the old sub.
scription book, We find goodly number
of subscribers who have paid in advance
and whose subscription will not expire
for some time to come-amounting in the
aggregate to some hundreds of dollars
Although we are under no moral or lega
obligation, either expressed or implied
to fulfill any of these subscription con
tracts, yet we have concluded to do so oI
our own free will and accord. We trust
the public will discover in this fact {
pledge that We will fulfill all our opn con
tracts made with them; and that, the
Democracy of this and adjoining coun
ties will rally to our support, in the mat
ter of advance subscriptions, at least III
promptly and efficiently as they did to oul
predecessor. If they viii do this-i
they will do their part promptly, We vii
do ours. We ask our friends to put theii
shoulders to the wheel and help Us along

fess to love, Let every friend 20 Il

The National indebtedness.

Our esteemed ncighbor of the Journal
the State Printer clect-says that the
democratic party is responsible for the
burden Of debt that weighs so heavily
upon the people" He states, also, that
it is simply impcrtinenec" to pirate
about high taxes"
There YOU have il, taxpayers The
Radical leaders expect you to pay enor-
nous taxes, but you must not say word !;
you DO il Is considered ''impertincnce.
If you dare to say tha: you don't like to
pay taxes for the support of the negro
or the rich bondholdcr, these leaders
deem it piece of :impertinencc. What
they want is that you bend your back to
the burdcn-sweat and toll, day after
day, and earn money with which TO pay.
without word Of complaint, such taxes
as they may impose. The alpine ass,
while staggering under his load, can
bray; but the taxpayer is not allowed
even this poor privilege.
We cannot, for the life Of Us, see how
the Democratic party is responsible for
the burden Of debt that weighs 50 heavily
upon the people. When Lincoln was
inaugurated the public debt did not ex-
ceed sS0O00,000 When he died it was
not less than four billions Of dollars at
least FIVE hundred times rs much. II
is well established rule in political
ethics that an administration is response.
bic for the public debt created while in
power, and we know no good reason why
Lincoln's administration should be an
exception. They had it in their power
to avoid the war by compromise upon
the basis Of Senator Crittcnden's resolu.
ton. After war was inauguratcd they
. had it in their power to close it out some
two or three years sooner than they finally
did but old Abc's political interest.
iWOuId nave suHcIeu III sucH an event
and accordingly the rebellion dragged it
bloody carcass along for over four years
So far from its being true that the Demo
cratic party is responsible for the present
national Indebtedness, the Radicals abso
lutely stole more annually from the pub
lie treasury than any Democratic admin
istration ever expended during its entire
term of office A more venal and cor
rupt party than the Radical never existed
since time began.

INDIANA DEMOCRATIC CovENTIoN.-
At the Democratic Congressional Con
vention, which met at Albany, Indiana.
recently, and which renominated Hon.
NJ. c. Kerr, resolutions were passed ac-
knowledging the justice of the late war
for the preservation of the Union de-
claring uncompromising hostility to suf-
frage for negroes; endorsing the Presi-
dents vetoes of the Freedmen's Bureau
and Civil Rights bill; opposing an in
crease Of the rates of duties on imports
warmly approving the restoration policy
of the President; opposing any amend
meut to the Constitution at present; de-
claring that none of the States were ever
out of the Union during the late rebel
lion; opposing the exemption of three
thousand millions of the wealth of the
country from taxation denouneing the
Legislation of the Radical Congress, and
demanding of the next National LegisIa
ture thai every species Of wealth shall
bear its equal share of taxation.

DowN on ABoLITIoNIsTs.- cor
respondent of the San Francisco Eramt-
ncr writing from Chico, furnishes the
following amusing anecdote:
Net hundred miles from this place, a
colored gentlemen, or American citizen
of African descent, called at a hotel OF
boarding house and desired supper. Sup
per being prepared, the bell was rung
and the colored gentleman made his ap-
pearance at the table, fortified with the
conscious innocence of being unmolcsted
by any of his white "brudcrs." But 10
on sitting down to the table to take his
peaceful supper, he behold on the oppo
site side a white gentleman with black
principles also seating himself The
''nigger," in vulgar language, thus then
held forth in wrath: "Look here, mis-
sus Ito the landladyl dis nigger pays
for his supper and wants it 'stinctly lln
derstood, he doesn't acant to be disturbed
Jy any id Abolitionist."

KENTUCKY ELECTIONS. Kentucky
has just gone Democratic by 10000 ma
jority. The 'Ofieial paper of the State"
raises terrible howl, and says the John
son men of Kentucky are chargeable with
the defeat of the Union party in this
election. In 1865 this State gave a small
"Union" majority, and the "Oficial pa
per" wonders why it didn't 60 "Union"
the other day. The only reason why it
ever went for the Radicals is that the bay
onet was held to the breasts of its voters.
Take that away and they vote their SEN
timents Other States will do likewise.
Fear of the bayonet, together with most
shameless prostitution of official power
working through the Union League
and furlOughed soldiers, were the prime
causes of Lincoln's reelection in 1864.

Exeursion III, nj. Hood.

The editor of the Vancouver (W. IT,
Register, lately asccnded to the summit
of old Mt. Hood The following is an
extract from his account Of the trip:
"The summit of the mountain is cir
cular ridge Of three or four hundred
yards in length, having lis outward curvc
to the north. On this ridge there are
three or four emincnces rising few feet
above tie average of the ridge. The
highest Of these is the one to the east,
though it is only few feet higher than
than the others. We passed along the
entire ridge and over all these elevations.
The snow upon them was from six to ten
feet in depth, and only 10 ono place did n
single rock project through it, That was
the extreme summit Of the highest point
of the ridge. On this rock, covering
them with large fragment broken from
it, we left as mementoes Of our visit, two

2lst. 1866, with the names Of the party
written upon them aud some pieces Of
silver.
