Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1858-09-09

EBFrom what we have heard sin ce our
last issue, the Republican will be frighted
with denunciations Of the Democrat for the
remarks contained in the Gipe article last
week, the information we received came
from one who heard the remarke, and who
is a Republican, too. We give it as we
got it. and hnow that this kind of talk we
spoke OF is "going the round," in one part
of the country, and all the denials the Re-
publican may make, or any member of the
Republican party will not change the facts
in the case. We have not ncr DO We in
tend to charge the Republican party en-
masse, with circulating this report, for the
mole rational portion ofthat party, would
not be guilty Of circulating report which
has not even the semblance Of truth.

Speech by Hon. T.. IL. Vallan-
GigfsARll.

The Dayton Empire gives sketch of
the remarks of the Hon. G. l.. VALLANDIG-
HAM, the present member of the Third
District, at Doyton, Saturday last. Mr.. V.
enters the canvass as candidate for Con.
gress, nominated by reclamation by the
Democracy of his District, with the formal
ity of a Convention. AS he is undoubted
ly the most able Democratic politician In
the State, the subject of this Dayton speech
will be read with interest. He declared
that the Republican party was going to
pieces while the Democracy was triumph
ami. A ''loose fusion Of sand and gravel
without cement was taking the place Of the
Republican party" The Democratic party
was "a compact and homogeneous mass"
CoRwIN was throttling CHASE. CLIPPINGS
was thrown overheard even in benighted
Ashtabula, Campbell had been turn e
loose in the dcestrick" without platform or
principles, and the new Opposition par
ty" was but mere image OF part iron and
part clay, and could not stand for dav
against the solid and compact Democratic
mass which would be hurled against it,
As TO the Kansas question, he declared
that on the Cd Of August, the people of
Kansas had voted to stay out of the Union,
and he rejoiced that they had SO voted
Topeka was dead; Lecompton was dead;
Leavenworth had never lived; and Kansas
must, there fore. come in under some con-
stitution Jet to be framed. 1t would be an
impossibility for a constitution to be framed
and submitted to vote of the people be-
fore the last of next February. By that
time Kansas would have $4,000 people,
Therefore, the question whether he would
vote for her admission was not practical
BILE one; but to silence the cry of discrimi-
nation between free and slave States, he
would state his position as to Kansas and
her admission into the Union. The Dayton
Empire gives the language as follows:
Whenever that Territory shall present to
Congress Republican form of constitu-
ton framed by a convention assembled and
acting under any valid law of her Territori-
al Legislature and submitted to and rati6-
ed by fair and honest vote of the people,
and shall ask admission under it. she
shall have my vote for immediate admiss-
ion under such constitution whether she
shall have few thousand more or less
than Just ninety-three thousand. (Im-
mense and long continued applauses.) No
sane politician, no wise statesman, will ever
upon point like this, and especially Just
prior to Presidential election, permit even
the ghost oflthe ''Kansas Imbroglio" to be
evoked though for but one more shrek,
from the grave, where its miserable car
cass is now fostering in corruption and
gangrene. Whenever Kansas shall fulfill
these conditions and present herself natur-
ally and IN robes of peace and comeliness
BETTING younger member Of this great
sister-hood of States, depend on it she will
be admitted without delay or question.
The rest of his remarks were concerning
his contest with Campbell, and local poll
tics in general Cincinnati Commercial.

We have read FIVE or six articles IN the
Lndianian of last week, aimed as daggers
at us, and have concluded to continue
the publication of the Democrat as usual,

A Forged Letter.-TO The
public.

A letter was brought to this city some
time since, which l am compelled, though
reluctantly, TO notice. alt is said' to
have been found in Westvile; to have
been, written on the 18th day Of August
last, and to have my name attached to it.
It is addressed, "they say" TO Mr.. Galezio,
and requests that gentleman to arrange for
the distribution of large number of men,
to be imported to this district previous to
the election. &C., DC.
The letter in question was submitted to
the Republican Central Committee of La
port County, on the 18th day of August
it was pronounced forgery by, persons
acquainted with my chirography. But
now, too cowardly publish their battling,
the persons engaged in this disgraceful
transaction are, l am informed, secretly
circulating copies of the letter throughout
the remote portions of the District. The
circumstances attending the history of the
letter in question--being found by a Re-
publican, upon the street--brought by Re-
publcans to LaPorte-discussed by Re-
publican Central Committee in secret con-
clave, &C., DC, head irresistably to the
conclusion that the fiction was gotten up
by certain members of the Opposition at
Westvil, and that the copies and falsehoods
connected with it are circulated under the
direction Of the Republican Central Com
mittee of the the County of Laport.
am willing to make affidavit to the fact
that did no. write the letter referred to in
this article-that the letter is a forgery.
written, of course, without my knowledge
or consent-that the matter attributed to
me by its statements are false, and that
never heard or dreamed of such pro-
duction until informed by friend that
the epistle in question, was in the possess
ion of certain parties in the city of Laport.
| will give ONE HUNDRED DOL
LARS REWARD. for the apprehension of
the person who attached my name to the
letter herein described.

The Republican says that c. H. Reeve
is totally devoid of common sense. MI
Reeve has lived here nearly fourteen years
and has, during that time, done more pro-
fessional business than any other one man
in the Circuit, and more successfully. He
was nominated by the fullest vote on first
ballot. that was ever given candidate TO,
tie same Office here before.
The Republican editor pays good com
pliment to those who nominated him.
1t has been less than two years since
the editor of the Republican came here
During the time he has been here. he has
done nothing but scurilously abuse all who
differed with him in opinion.
We leave the people TO judge what his
opinions are worth.

TaX.EaterS.

The Republicans are making a great TO
do abou. the tax -eaters-about our County
Officers running their arms into the Coun-
ty Treasury; about their stealing the hard
earnings Of the oppressed tax payers, &c.
These charges. like all others they make
against the reputation of our officers, or
candidates, are made as though they were
self-evide entity true; not one particle of ev-
idence is brought to prove them--nothing
but the irresponsible statements of petite
al street gabblers.
Until they bring some evidence for the
purpose OF proving their charges to lie
true, we do not feel called upon to make
any reply!by way of refutation; but there
Is one thing connected with the tax eat
ing department. that we wish to make
mention Of
An examination of the County records
will reveal the fact that four of the Repub-
lican candidates in this county are delin-
quenG In order that those who have not
had an opportunity to post themselves in
regard to the matter. We will give their
names: Austin Fuller, n. II. Oglesbee,
0. NJ. Barnard. and o. w. Norris. ca ldi-
dates for the highest and most responsible
offices in the County. And these men,
who refuse to support their Comfy gov
ernment-who fail to comply with the req
uisitions of the law-whO would impose a
double burden on their already oppressed
neighbors--who berate the present officers
of the County, charging them with squan-
dering the peoples money, when, in re-
ality. they do no: furnish one cent of it.
These are the men, who, having refused to
discharge their obligations to the law and
the community in which they have their
residence. are now asking the taxpayers
those who support the County govern
ment-to place them in the highest offices
within their gift--to trust them with their
hard earned money. and furnish them a liv-
ing and respectable standing in society
after having failed to bear their portion Of
the tax burthen.
If the people desire such men to admin
is:cr the County government in preference
TO those who have enough interest in our
County sffrairs to pay their taxes. we very
much mistake their sagaci!y.
1t is poor policy to give the Management,
of public affairs. to mel who have proved
themselves incapable of managing their
own.

Col. Walker at Rochester

We attended Col. Walkers meeting at
Rochester last Saturday, were much pleas
ed with thu enthusiasm manifested by the
Democracy of Fulton County.
There was a very large turn out Of the
Farmers, considering the busy season oil
the year.
Bloomingsburgh, as it always is on
such occasions, was fully represented by
the Democracy in that locality.
Speaking commenced at 2 o'clock. The
large and magnificent Courtroom was
lam full, and many had to go away for
want Of room. He was introduced by
Dr. -ot Fulton County, in the follow
ing language;
"Fellow Citizens: I have the pleasure
of introducing to You. Col John c. Walk
er, our next Representative in Congress. y
Three deafening cheers went up for Col.
Whereupon he commenced, and in an able
and eloquent speech of over two hours in
length, gave true picture of the mis-.
called Republican party-of their doings
in Congress, and other places-of their
course in regard to Kansas--the bred
Scot disadvantage equaliIy-the Maine

The Democracy were we'll pleased with
the speech. They promise Col. Walker
from one to two hundred majority in that
County. and no one acquainted with the
zeal with which they pitch in will doubt
for moment that they will not be as good
rs their word.
