The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1868-03-28

y Az OLD DExocRAT.-Last week a gentle
man, BY the name of VIM. M'Bride, called
on US. and we were much gratified with the
interview. Mr.. NIB. is eighty-two years
old yet he is hale and hearty, straight as a
man of thirty. and is six feet high in his
stockings. lie crossed the plains in 1864,
and stood the trip well. In politics he is a
Democrat. The first man he voted for, for
President, was Thomas Jefferson and he
has voted for every Democratic candidate for
President from that time down 70 the present,
except Mcclellan. He did not vote for him
q because he had no right to vote at the pres!-
Dental election in 1864. We fervently hope
Mr. N ride may live to vote for another Dem
cratic candidate for President; and that he
may live to see him inaugurated, and our
country once more enter upon a career of
prosperity and glory ike that enjoyed I'M
der Jefferson and Monroe. Madison and Jack
son. We instinctiyely honor and love a
man who, ike Mr. NIB, has 50 tenacious
~ eIung to principle for so long a time,
amid all the yicissitudes and changes tn
which the Democratic party has been sub
jected within the last seventy odd years.
