The editor Of the Marshall County Re

readers. 1t matters very little to us what
he calls us, or whether he calls us at ALL
We regard him beneath our contempt
When We stoop SO low as to compare a
human being to the brute creation, we
shall expect to be scorned by all respecta-

out of town on a rail- Here is n sample
of the language he uses, from his last pa
per:
''Cenfound that puppy, he will bark up
the wrong tree. He has nj got any sa-
gacity at all, and can't be learnt anything,
whatever"
If the above language had come from a
source entitled to any respect, We should
have considered it a personal insult, and
should have dealt with the writer of it &C
cordingly, but as it is. we pass it by for
the present, to give place to another SEN

don't want the cows to eat him up this fall

The above is his answer to the charge
we made week or two ago. that his state
men, in regard to number Of prominent
Democrats having admitted that the pub
lie interest required change of admins

ment was false when he made 1t, and he
can't give the name of ONE prominent Dem

Republican Convention mt

Messrs EDIToRs.--On Saturday 28th,
inst, the Republicans held meeting for
the purpose of nominating County tick
ct. 1t was TO have been a delegate meet
ing, but they made mass meeting of it.
Twenty four votes were all they could
muster. Scott, hot headed Abolitionist,
was unanimously elected to the chair
The most of the leading Republicans left
in disgust, after nominating their officers,
which resulted in the selection of Howard
Stow for Sheriff, who received II votes;
Stevenson reed votes. Lark was uDan
imously declared their candidate for Com
mis- sioner, and n. McCumber, Coroner.
They tried to get up some resolutions, bat
failed.*
Parks of Marshall gave a speech in re
gard to what was his views of the United
States policy. ..cnd ccnluded with his views
IT. regard to the Wabash Canal; making
the issue between the parties, the Negro
Rights.
Sample of your place made speech,
but forgot which party he belonged to, and
concluded by reading Hammond's speech
Scott closed by declaring that he was a
better Democrat than there was IN Stark
County. His Democracy began in the
days of Jefferson and Jackson. but that he
had got into the abolition party and knew
that they were the only Democrats.
The Democrats have gained at least 30
votes by Scott declaring himself to be a
Democrat. Send few more Republican
speakers to this place Of the sort we have
had, and at the next election we will give
one hundred Democrtic majority. Com.
*The resolutions can be made up here:
they know how to do it.
We should be glad to send you some
more such speakers, but they are doing
good service for the Democracy of Mar

but if tho Democracy of Stark insist on
having Parks and Sample visit their coun

Since then he has grown so thin that it

able shadow"
We gave up beat at tie time, which we
supposed was sufficient to satisfy all who
were interested in the matter But it
seems to afford the editor pleasure to recur
to the matter, and as far as we are con-
cerned, he can refer to it every week. As
for there not being enough of us to cast a
respectable shadow, we have nothing to
say. We happened to live in this country
at an early day, when the site on which
Plymouth now stands was Wilderness
'Mush and Milk, as il was called, and po
tatoes constituted the provisions, on which
soul and body were kept together. There
no Touring mills in this County in those
days. Corn meal had to he brought from
the Wabash country, and often the suppl
was not equal to the demand. One time
a wagon with two yoke of oxen to it, was
dispatched for meal to supply the neghbor-
hood. The road through the Wilderness
was almost impossible, and by the time
the teamster returned, the neighborhood
was almost in a state of starvation The
'muSh pot was put on the fire, and as
soon as the water in it hot, meal was
stirred into it and in few minutes we were
discussing the merits of the Indian meal
We parlook freely of the hospitality of the
'mush pot, and from that time rapid
growth is dated. There may have been
plaster of paris in the meal which caused
us to grow SO tall and slender as to annoy
the editor of the Republican to such an ex-
tent as to bring forth the following poet.col
etfusion from his pen of last week:
''There was a man lived in our town whose name
was Danicl-somcthinS;
He stood in his boots over six feet high, and had
fora head pumpkin"
There, now, if that amt touched OF
with the sublime, we should like to see
some that Is. We would advise the editor
TO publish it again, and enclose the funny
part of it in brackets SO that his readers
can tell when the laugh comes. There is,
undoubtedly, something very funny about
it, but his readers-those have heard speak
of it--are unable to find the point.
The above extracts and comments are
not given for the purpose of indicating
our character from the personal attacks
made upon us by the editor, but to give to
those of our readers who do not take that
paper, an opportunity to read the orgu-
ment, by which the editor is trying 10 build
up the cause of Republicauism in Marshall

Lieutenant Gov. Hammond addressed Il
large and attentive audience at the
Courthouse in this place, "Wednesday af-
ternoon of last week We have heard nu-
merous persons say that it was as good n
political speech as they ever heard. Al
though the Judge does not take any rhe-
torical flights by which one is carried in
to the ethereal blue, TO gaze on rainbow
ancies, he is listened to with as much or
more attention because his speeches are
composed of stubborn facts, such as can
not be refuted; they remain of record
His exposure of the doings OF the Eepub-
lican members Of our last Legislature, was
highly interesting. This portion of his
speech did not meet the appreciation of the
few Republicans who heard it, but as he
did not ask them to take his word for it,
but referred them to the record, they were
forced to grin and bear it,
Just before the speaking commenced,
the Democracy raised a large hickory poll,
Oh which was placed flag, having on it
the names Of our gallant standard bearers.
