Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1857-11-26


The South preserved IA nniform and om-
nous silence upon the subject of its incon
>istencies But in the last number of that
journal We find IL brisk fire opended upon
the Delta because we said that some of the
Virginia Democracy was being Abolition
lied. We are accused of casting unjust
imputatiouS" upon the character of the
old Commonw ealth, and our statement of
facts denied The silence thus broken by
the sound OF our cotemporarv's gun. we
again bctake ourselves to the unpleasant du-
ty OF showing up some of the fallacics and
Inconsistencies OF the South
We cannot agree with it that everybody
appreciates the Importance of maintain
ing the appearance as well as the reality Of
confidence and courage among the cham
pions of the South
There is nothing in this worthy of APP
probation Boid, rjgorpus, dofam actioa
IS whot ue require. Mere appearance of
harmony in the Southern Rights camp Is
not the thing. Lukewarmness Is criminal
at this coniuncturc. because thou art
lukcwarm and neither cold nor hot" said
the Apocalyptic Angel to the Church at
Laodicca. Il will spew thee out of my
mouth" Let the South pursre similar
policy; let her cast out all who stand with
folded arms and placid face while the Free
soil and Abolition hosts are laundering at
our gates Give us advocates VINO have
something of III. Spartan Instead Of the
PartiIlan nature.

We did not "attaint til old Dominion
