The present is the Goth No. of the Demo
crat. We have now published it regularly,
every week, for six months past-iust as we
substantially promised we woulddo when we
commenced. Thus far we have scrupulously
redeemed all our promises made to the pub,
lie and what we have done in this regard
should beS guarantee as to our course in the
future. When we took hold of the Demo
.crat, last August, we found that many sub
scribers had paid o'Meara in advance, and
that their time was Notwithstanding
in the aggregate to several hundred dollars.
In other words. he owed scores of subscribers
from fifty cents II S. each-monies which he
had received from them on advance subscrip-
tons, and whose time he hadnot filed. Dur
ing the past six months we have sent the
Democrat to these subscribers-thus paying
these debts contracted by him. We were
under no legal or moral obligation to do so;
but we want to convince the public that we
will act honorabiy with all those having deal
ings with our Establishment. Our business
Is conducted on such a basis that it cannot
fail, at least so long as ordinary health is
vouehsafed to the firm. Instead of being in
debted TO every other man we meet-as is
the manner of sOme we could mention-we
eve but few persons. and not a great deal to
those few; and we now have the public in
debted to US between one and two thousand
dollars in the aggregate. Under these cir
cumstanees it is safe to say that the STATE
RIGHTS DEMOCRAT is on as secure a basis as
that of any other public journal in Oregon.
In conclusion, we hope our friends through
ont the country will take hold now in earn
est. 1t will pay them as well as us to act
as agents for the Democrat.

New FIRx.-Messrs. Montgomery & Arm
old have recently taken charge of the old
metropolitan Hotel" on the corner of
Washington and First streets, in this city,
and have ~overhauled. repaired and re-ftted
the house throughout, and have also procur-
ed the services Of A No. l cook, to whose TT
ness for the post We can amply testify
These gentlemen are determined to keep a
hotel of the first order, and we heartily rec
Ommend them to the travelling public for
their patronage. This house will hereafter
be known as the ''City Hotel" For p~articu-
lars, see card in another column.
The WEATHER.-We are indebted to DIR.
Gray, of this place, for the following facts
relative to the weather during the month of
January, 1867: Ten days rainy Ii days
showery 9 days no rain, and 1 day snowy
Is nights rainy Is nights no rain that
could be noticed 1 night showed. Six of
the nights wherein no rain fell were frosty
and six nights were cold enough to freeze ice
from the I-I6th to inch thickness. Depth
of rain that fell, 3 inches.
Touch BoY.-Wednesday morning last,
as we were on our way to our office, we met
boy eight or nine years old, perambnlating
the sidewalk bare-foeted and bare, headed =
the snow at the time being an inch or two
deep. We inquired if he was not cold
"coIdl GolIyi-nor' was his replyJ He
ought to pass for a tough boy,

IA In noticing, last week, Mr.. Kirkpat
rick's recent arrival here, we spelled his
name, through mistake, Fitzpatrick. We
don't want to kilIhim, nor have anybody else
kill him, yet awhile. He is too good a feI-
low, personally, for that. He is naturally a
Democrat, but somehow he isn't yet aware of
his misery.
The WHARF.-Beach & Monteith's wharf
building was considerably injured last week
by the sudden rise of the Willamette. 1t is
aIledged, however, that it can easily be re-
paired when the water falls.
The editor of the Radical paper at Portland,
Oregon, thinks that we are anxious to be the tail
of the fre-eating party. We can't call him the
Radical party's tail. He is something under that.
