Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1859-06-09


keep up terrible howl about the Two
Years Amendment adopted in MassacIIu-
setts. but say nothing concerning the a
doption of an act precisely similar in the
intensely Democratic State Of South Car
DINA. They content, notwithstanding
al the prominent Republicans as well as
all the Republican newspapers throughout
the Union denonnce the measure as incon-
sistent with and contrary to the principles
of RepublicaniSm. that the party is respon-
sible for the measure. / so, does it not
follow, as matter Of course. that the
Democratic party is equal y responsible for
the South Carolina law? Yea, they are
much more So, because they have not dar-
ell to protest against or denouncc the con-
duet of their Southern brethren, knowing
that they would be commanded to keep ST.
lent and not exhibit any of their imperti-
nence or impotence, but to 'lemean them
selves as ahject menials should to their SUI
periors; whilst, before and since the adop-
ton of the Amendment" the Republican
press anil Statesmen all over the country,
in Massachusetts,. as well as elsewhere,
have not hositatcl to declare their hostility
to it. Such being the true state of the
case tho Slaveocracy are welcome to all
they can make ont Of it. We are willing
they sh Il agitatc the matter as much as
they may feel disposed. Whilst they are
twice as deep in the mud as the Republicans
are in the mire as far as that matter is con
cerned, every blow they strike will rebound
upon themselves with terrible effect;- -all
the arguments they use 20 make the Re-
publicans responsible for the Massachu-
sets Amendment" being twice as appli-
cable to themselves. IS
The foreigners are not such fools as the
Slaveocrats take them to be- The time
was when they could humbug and mislcad
them with their sophistry and falsehoods;
but the Tcutons especially are generally
educated and intelligent, and having pa
pers of.fheir own have the means of ACQUIRE
ing correct political knowledge, and con-
sequenty read and judge for themselves as
freemen ,shonld, and being sincerely in ia
4 vor of free labor anil free territory, for free
/ men, they will hardly suffer themselves to
be dclulled into the support of party that
is striving to degrade the former and make
slavery a universal institution, in States
and Territories alike, which will be accom-
4 plished if the people sustain the bred

Nay, they know their interests too well to
be guilty of such suicidal act. Let those
