Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1859-11-24
From The Goshen Times.


We stated some weeks since that our
first choice for a candidate for The Pres.
idency. is tie man rho can carry Pennsyf-
panio, and expressed our belief that Simon
Cameron was probably the man. Since
then the election in that State has tended
to confirm us In the opinion that he pos
sesses more of the element Of strength IN
the Old Keystone, than any other of its
eminent statesmen. In no State probably
has the personal merits. acquaintance, and
citizenship of the candidate so much TO do
with his success as in Pennsylvania. This
alone gave the State to Buchanan in the
last campaign.
The popular sentiment in that Common
wealth Enthusiastically points to SIMON
CAMERON as the standard bearer of the Re-
publican host in 1860. Thus the Pitts
burgh Gaze1e one of the most influential
organs in Western Pennsylvania says:
1.-The name of Gen. Cameron has been
so intimately associated with the politics
of his native State that it is difficult to sep
arate the one from the other Had he
been, IN his own person, candidate before
the people at the late election, the result
could not have been more in his favor than
it was on the Second Tuesday of October
last. All the counties in the Common
wealth that have thus far expressed pref
erence on the Presidential question have
named him as tie man for the station, thus
leaving him without competitor and in
full possession of the field, as far as this
State is concerned. For year previous
to the late election. his name was constant
ly before the people, and identified with all
the fortunes of the campaign. Let the
voice of Pennsylvania be needed by the
Republicans of other States, and we have
no fears for the result of the great contest
which threatens to agitate the nation Q
year hence. 1t has been said that the vote
OF this State is necessary to elect Pres
ident. Let Cameron be the Republican
standard-bearer, and all doubt as to its
future position will be at once removed,
while glorious victory will crown the
efforts of the friends Of Freedom and Pro-
tcctionl Large as the majority is now,
when Cameron's own name is presented to
the people thousands more will be added.
Party lines. under its potent influence. will
be broken down, and old prejudices and
antipathies forgotten"
Following up this sentiment an able ar.
ticle appears in the Northern Lndianian,
from which we clip paragraph:
The question recurs, who can carry
Pennsylvania and Indiana? / will not
undertake to decide this question-that
being not the object Of my communication,
but one name has lately been suggested ss
the Republican candidate for the Presiden.
cy. that may require some notice. It ia
that of Gen. Simon Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania. Gen. c., has for many years been
a leader of the tariff wing of the Democrat
ic party Of his State. On account of his
manliness, and his straightforward and un-
spotted course a politician, he has long
been terror of those minions of his par
~, who arc driven by the lash OF tho South.
For the last five or six years, he has acted
with the Opposition and be is this DAY IN
Pennsylvania, what that staunch Repab-
lican, Gen. W.. ii. Keim. is in Berks
County-the strongest man in the opposi-
tion ranks, tho only orc who can carry the
State. u
B We must have rcsonable prospect Of
carrying Pennsylvania or the campaign
will be spiritless, and the result fruitless.
If our personal preferences wcre to control
the matter, we are free to say. that there
are othor men whose names we should pre-
fer to see emblazoned upon our banner
but we fight for succcss--and we hope for
victory. Connect with Cameron the nsme
Of Lincoln,-give US Henry s. Lane for
GoverHor-and we shall carry Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana. Illinois and the Unioa--
and on the Fourth of March 1861, man
rate . Republican Administration.
