Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1857-02-19

Is 1T RIaHr? asked an elderly member
of the Republican party,sspeaking in ref
erence to the action. of the Senate in rela-
ton to the case Of lie Roy w Gods. When
the higwayman presents his pistol to the
head of man and demands his money, is
it right or proper that the honest citizen
should then stopto enquire into the bearing
of the command "Thou shalt not killf? or
must he defend his property and life first?
That is precisely the case with the Republi-
cans in the Legislature: Political highway
men have them by the throat; they must de-
fend themselves. But, every act of the
Republican members has been in strict ac-
cordance with the constitution, the laws
formed under it, and with the decisions OF
the Senate of the United States. n
If joint convention, such as will assem-
BILE to-day in the Hall of the House of Rep
resentatives,. without quorum of either
House of the General Assembly, can sue
coed in forcing the two men upon the peo-
pie of the State as their representatives in
the u. S. Senate, we are ready for "vigi-
lance committee" The proceedings of the
California committee was not more revolu-
tionary than that of the bogus democrats.
