Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-11-13

gained, has the OPPOSITION to democracy
made such IN efor, TO defeat us, us they
have in the campaign which has just closed
and never were party more sanguine of
success; many Of them would have been
wiling to isk their all Oh the result. The
leaders of the Republican party, were so
confident Of success that they advised their
friends to Jet whenever they had an oppor
uniiy, on the Republicans carrying this
county, and State. Many of the rank and
ile of their party, who reposed implicit
confidence in the judgment Of their leaders,
listened 10 their advice, and staked their
properly and money, and are now placed
in position that they can look at the ques-
ton in different light from wha, they for
merry did. We stated time and again, that
Marshall county would give from 10 to 100
Democratic majority; and tie result shows
that We were under Instead of over the ma
jority. When TIE county gave Governor
Willard - majority on the the 18th ult.,
The cry was raised, that over 600 r. +.
Irish voted, and grea. many Of them lef:
on ihc cars for the west Immediately after
voting, and that the Republicans had been
defeated in this county by foreigners, and
that they had clear majority of the legal
voters. There was one fact that was not
mentioned by the republican papers, when
spcaAing of the go Irish votes that were
polled here by the Irish, which was that
two Of the three Judges at this, and the
Bourbon precinct, (,he only place where
the IRISH voted, we're Republicans, and
were among The acknowledge leaders of
the party, and i; would be reasonable TO
suppose that they would not have permit
ted thcm TO vote Illegally. The Republi-
cans seemed tolerably well satisfied so far
as the county was concernrd, CATER they
had got the impression abroad that it had
been carried by fraud, and that the greater
portion Of tie Irish had left, that they
would carry it at the Pre- sidential election
Tor Fremont; accordingly they went to
work in earnest with Il full determination to
retrieve their fortunes They made speech

ihc other election. bat strange as it may
appear, Notwithstanding a '.great portion
Of The l,isi. were gone" and 10 or GO
4. the eas.pqg; ofthe county, wore not at
the election, and hat there was but two r.
ishn.en allowed to vote in Bourbon town
ship, it Is nevertheless true that Bucham-
ans majority was precisely the same as
Gov. Wizards (l12).
There seems 70 be something myster-
Gus in reference to Willard and Buchan-
ans majority. and The Only way we can ex-
plain tae matter, IS, by supposlngthat quite
a number oi tie Irish ,nus, have voted the.
Republican ticket at The October election,
or that many Chat voted that ticket in De-
,ober, voted for Buchanan on the It'll inst.
II IS now reduced TO a certainty that Plym
outh is 4 Democratic Town, that Center is
a Democratic township, that Marshall is
Democratic county, that Indiana is Dem
ocratic State, that these United States are
Democratic, and have chosen that eminent
statcsman-J ANEs Observation-Disclosures
of whom many who voted for Fremont are
proud if the would acknowledge the truth.
ES Any person TO whom this No. is
sent who are not disposed TO patronize the
"Democrmf' another year, will please re-
turn ii 10 us, without fail. We take this
opportunity to return our thanks for the We
ry liberal patronage that has been extended
to the Democr@ during its probationary
state, and that it Is now established beyond
a contingency, Except fire. We hope,
by publishing a reiioJie sheet, to still merit
a continuance OF the liberal support we
have hitherto received As the elections
are now over, We shall be able to treat our
readers with greater variety of reading
matter than we have Tor the last five
months. Our Legislature will have very
important session this winter, and Congress
will have stirring times. We propose to
keep our readers early advised Of their do
ings.
