The result Of the election in New
Hampshire last week is not yet def
nitely known, the vote between the
parties being so close that it will re-
quire the official returns to deter
mine. Sufficient, however, is known
to insure the election Of one Repub-
ican and ono Democratic Congress-
man the other District being in
doubt. There being three candidates
for Governor in the field, and no one
having received majority of all the
votes cast, the election of Governor
is thrown into the Legislature, where
the Democrats are reported to have
secured q sufficient majority to elect
their candidate If the doubtful
Congressional District has elected a
Republican, the result of the New
Hampshire election isabout the same
us last year. Indeed for many years
past the contests in that State have
been extremely close, though since
the war the Republicans have goner-
ally succeeded by very small MAORI
ties. From 1864 to 1870 New Hamp.
shire went Republican In 1871 the
Democrats came into power by 8
small majority, In 1872 Grant car.
ried the State by majority of 5,443
and the Republican candidate fol
Governor was also elected, beating
his Democratic competitor by l ,41t
votes. In the election of 1873 thu
Republican majority was reduced tC
22S; and last year the Democrats
won by a plurality Of 1,4G5, there
being three parties in the field,

An old Democratic friend the other
day warmly congratulated us on the
continued independent, outspoken
and fearless tone Of the DEMooRAT,
and very justly, as we believe, as
cribed the enyiablo success and grow
ing influence Of the paper more to
this cause than to any other. 1t is
not so much the long-winded, nd
jective-pointed editorials which os-
tablish the character and standing OF
journal, as it is the candor, frank
ness and consistency with which its
career is marked from year to year,
both as regards men and measures.
The newspaper should be more n ve-
hicle Of information than the expo
nent Of tho peculiar views aud dog
mas of its conductors that is, If il
claims to be newspaper at all. For
so much a year it undertakes to in
form its readers what the world is
doing. In its own corner II takes
the opportunity to preach its daily
sermon which some people take the
opportunity to read, but its business
is to relate facts, just as often as it
makes an unintentional misstatoment
il loses confidence. It's business is
to tell the truth, IIonorably con-
Quoted and trustworthy, a newspaper
may outlast parties, men, generations
and governments, and exist so long
as the tendency to read prevails; but
whom it fails to do that and lends
itself to grinding axos, il ccOses
10 deserve confidence, and il will not
bo very long before confidence de-
sortsit, Hence the numerous deaths
in the realm Of Journalism, and in
iorgetiulness Of this fact are deyel-
opod the careers Of the putting odi-
tors.
The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1875-03-19

A lady on the east of Maryland
happened to make sausage meat and
mince pies on the same day. Being
called to the parlor to receive com
pany she returned to find to her sor-
row that the cook had put the wine,
spice, sugar and plums into the sau-
sages, while the mince meat received
its compliment of sweet herbs, salt
and pepper. The lady magnanimous-
ly bestowed the whole stock on the
poor, since which she has never been
troubled by the sick and demoral-
lzed paupers who were her victims.
