Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1858-01-07

printed in the southern part of this State,
attempts to show that the Republicans
in applauding Mr.. Douglass course are in
consistent with themselves. 1t says:
I'm the very teeth of all they have ever
said or done on that subject, we now find
the same party applanding and gloryfyinS
that same Stephen A. Douglas for advoca-
ting that same doctrine even to its most
extreme and ultra lengthp'
And why don't you applaud him as you
formerly did? In trying to prove the Re
publicans guilty of Inconsistency in order
to make out your case, get caught in your
own trap, and prove beyond doubt, that
you yourself have faced about, whether
any one else mas or not. Tic ulrvi, l.,.d :"
so confused that they will certainly, as did
the herd of swine the scriptures tell about,
run violently down a precipice and drown
themselves in the lake God grant that
such may be their fate. AS Com. Pauld
ing writes, their punishment would be
tribute 10 humanity"
The Republicans have not changed an
iota in regard popular sovereignty. >
They entertain the same views to-day they
have heretofore held on that subject. The
Republicans have always been in favor of
an enabling act by Congress, to authorize
the inhabitants OF territory to elect dele
gates to frame a Constitution. This is
what Douglas now proposes. Shall we
refuse the 'aid and comfort" Douglas and
his friends propose to afford us, merely
because they did not before cooperate with
Us? That would not be wisdom in us,
whatever you may think about it, Mr.
Duchananlte. In opposing Mr.. Doug las
enabling act, under the circumstances,
when Its passage would restore peace and
harmony to the country, by providing for
fair and honest expression of the will of
the people of Kansas, only adds another
proof to the thousand already in possession
Of the country, that tie Buccaneers have
really no attachment or love for popular
sovereignty" but merely pretend to be in
favor of it, that they may thereby deceive
the people and be enabled to spread slave
~.
The same print concludes the article
from which the foregoing extract is taken
with the following paragraph:
no ont .toip M
hope that We may never be called upon by
a sense of duty to make choice between
two rival factions Of the glorious old Dem
ocratic party; but if in spite of our prayers
to the contrary, that time shall ever come,
ere shat certainly choose Maf one ichich as
tie tnftesi remored IA principle and SYM
pothy from tie aJominaJie doctrines Of
Bink Rtpabtican;Sm."
Nothing was created in vain, it is said,
and this hater of liberty may subservc its
friends useful purpose, by marking him
on their political chart, as the mariner does
sunk rock or a maelstrom, that they
may steer their vessel clear Of the danger
Gus locality. lie sees that his party is a
Republican party as the author of all his
woes, his nialignity becomes intense, BIT
ter a. gail and vcnomous as a viper.

held at Paris, Ill.,, Oh last Tuesday week
The Prairie Beacon says when the resolu-
ton complimenting Mr.. Douglas was read
Mr. Tanner, one of the untcrriiied, moved
TO insert the names also Of William II
Seward and Horace Greeley, (great sensa-
ton Mr. Tanner insisted, inasmuch as
Douglas was acting in conjunction witt
Seward and Greeley. in the premises, i
was proper to associate their names to-
getller in the resolution.
