The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1870-12-09

The Quincy Oils. Herald truthtully
observes that If the election which has
just ended in a sweeping Democratic
triumph throughout the country, Is in
structive upon no other point, it at
least teaches o valuable lesson to
Grant and his advisers. It speaks TO
them in thunder tones, and tells them
in language short. sharp and decisive,
that baycnets have lost their sway in
this country, and that freemen will
maintain their rights. regardless oi
federal interference and usurpations.
It was reserved for the great state .oi
New York, with her matchless politi-
cal chieftains and unterrifed masses,
to sound the death-knell Of tyranny in
America. The voice Of the Democra-
cy Of the Empire city has reverbera-
ted throughout the Union. and with
one acclaim the American people mp.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

BY our dispatches it will be seen
that the French cause, but few days
ago apparently SO hopeless, seems to
be looking up" Heavy fighting has
been In almost constant progress in
the neighborhood of the beleaguered
capital OF France, and it appears that
General Trochu and Durcot have
forced their way out of Paris with a
strong army, have penetrated through
the Prussian lives which surrounded
that city, and are now striving to
form a junction with the French Army
OF the Loire, which would, if effected
raise the seige of Paris and place the
French cause in more favorable con-
dition than it has been since the surren-
der OF Napoleon. There are hundreds
OF thousands of patriot Frenchmen vet
willing and anxious to fight for the
honor oftheir country, and we would NOT
be much surprised to soon learn that
the Prussians were forced to adefensiye
position. At leastwe may safely assert
that the war will have no immediate
termination if the French even hold
the advantages which they have recent.

RADICAL REPEATERS IN NEW

AS our radical exchanges have dis

exception turned to New York City.
hoping to find consolation in reviving
the cry of "repeaters.
They figure reduction in Hoffman's s
vote of 1870, from that of 1868 and
thereupon set up universal howl of
fraud, corruption, &C., against New
York. The Hartford Times, referring
to these attempts to malign the De-
mocracy of the Empire city. thus
shows up the other.side and explodcs
the fallacy of the sham theories upon
which radical small potatoes figure

opponents. The Times says:

THE ELECTIONS.

Lying about elections seems as easy
as stealing the public money to Radi-s
cal politicians. We are daily in receipt
of Eastern Radical exchanges, issued
since the late elections, which, in the
face of their Waterloo defeat, come
out with "Great Republican Gains"
"Cause for Congratulation." and SIM
liar headlines, to cover up dismay,
disgrace and defeat. Where are the
"gains9" What is the "causeY In
Illinois the Radicals have lost 40, 900
votes in two years. Robinson elected
in the Eighth District, and Hawley's
majority cut down to mere nonentity
in the Fourth. Ingersoll defeated in
the very heart of Illinois Radicalism
by the Democratic candidate, Stevens.
Is this a Republican "gain?" Is it q
"cause for Republican congratulation"
that the little mountain-bound State
of Nevada has cast off the Radical
yoke and fallen into line with the
White Men of America? Do they ICON

time in yearsp Is it because in the
glorious old Empire State the last
plank has beep swept from under their
party by the Democratic food of No
vember, leaving them to be swallowed
|up in the maelstrom of '72? Is it be-
cause Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama,
West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsyl-
vania are redeemed from the enemies
of Justice, Right and Honesty, and
have once more taken their stations in
the old Democratic column?
Verify, another such Republican
"gain" in conjunction with such Radi.
cal "cause" will annihilate the party
whose ''gain" is now like the Irishman
who "won q loss," and their successes
are similar to the Hibernian who, bay.

THE OREGON SENATE.

The Mercury says that Messrs.
Mosher, of Douglas, and Newby, of
Yamhill, though elected to fill vacan-
cies, are yet hold-over Senators. The
principle of law laid down by Judge
Boise, in the Linn county Judgeship
case, and affirmed by the Supreme
Court settles, this question. The doc
trine was laid down in that decision,
that, under our Constitution, the
County Judge is elected for four years,
and though elected in the middle OF
term made vacant by death, resigna-
ton or other cause, his term meas
ured by the Constitution, is four years.
The hold-oyer Senators are, therefore,
Messrs. Fay, Mosher, DIR. Patterson,
Strahan, Hoult, Crawford, Brown oi
Marion, Moores, Newby, Powell,
Brown of Baker, Lieuellen and Bald
win-13 in all-and ten of whom are
Democrats. The Democrats will elect

Polk, one in Wasco, and one in Union,

So the impossibility of the Pagani

disband ere the next general election

OUR CITY ELECTION.

Hon. N. Fl. Cranor, Democratic
candidate for Mayor, received six or
eight Republican votes, which. if cast
for Mr.. Foster, would have about

two parties in this city-a tie. Mr..
Cranor's majority being fourteen. 1t
is safe to say that there are not
ten votes difference between the par
ties in Albany, nor have there been
for fve or six years past. The Demo-
Gratis have generally elected majori-
ty of the ticket heretofore because
they were better united and more
adroit managers than the Republicans,
while this year the reverse was the
case. Personal pickering and petty
differences absorbed almost every
other consideration with large mum.

city, and many of our candidates were
sacrificed on the altar of personal
hatred or feudal cliques. Josh Bill

FIFTY MILLIONS.

It costs fifty millions Of dollars per
annum to maintain the army and navy
Of the United States, and the only use
to which the army has been put since
the close of the war is the work Of in
timidating voters and carrying, or at
tempting to carry, elections for the
Radicals.
Are the people willing to submit to
this style Of proceeding? Letting
alone entirely the outrage thus inaict-
ell upon popular liberty and republi-
can government unparalleled before
in the worlds history. are the work
ing people Of this country willing to be
taxed to the extent of fifty millions
per annum as contribution for the
support of Radicrl power by means Of
force and intimidation, in defiance OF
and in opposition to the popular Wills
This question is one Of no little inn
portance-one which will enter into
the issues of every political campaign
in every State in the Union until an
other Presidential election shall have
been holden, and the final and conclu.
sive answer rendered. We have faith
to believe that it will be answered In
the proper spirit, and that the tyran'
nical usurper OF the White House will
receive at the same time the condeIh
nation he so richly merits.
