Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-11-27

Gay and to-morrow; it is the great cohser
valve party that holds in check the wild
spiri. of fanaticism, that sweeps over the
land like sirocco. Our advice to all who
value the liberties and privileges that we,
as nation. enjoy, is to act in future with
the democratic party, YOU will then, have
the proud satisfaction of contributing your
mite towardthe perpetuity of those privi-
leges that cost our forefathers so much
blood and treasure.

ETA large enthusiastic meeting was
held on the 18th inst, in South Bend to de-
wise ways and means to build rail road
from Plymouth via South Bend to the State
line to intersect contemplated road from
Niles to that place. There was over $50, 900
of stock subscribed immediately, and some
halfa dozen energetic men were appointed
to solicit stock.
Since the above was in type, we have
have been kindly furnished with the pro-
ceedings of the meeting referred to, which
will be found below.
We understand that there is project
on foot, which, (if those who receive the
most benefit from Road in case it should be
built, will subscribe literally will insure
its speedy completion. Real estate owners
could well afford to give beautifully, ii
case they should never receive cent II
return. only the increased price they would
receive for their produce and the enhan
cling of tie value OF their lands.
This road WILDE very important out
let to Marshall county, and we hope tina
those of orr citizens who are not IN unfor
bidding circumstances, will pun their shout
der to the wheel, and help move 1t along
All can see the importance of a road on TIN
route, at a glance, particularly to the nort'
half of our county; and should this oPpor
tunity pass unimproved, another may no
occur soon again. Success to the Plym
