The lying scoundrcl, in the same article

Whea the Mattingly tribe get eornered j,
they forthwith tell their readers that Eat

loon" imbibing sundry horns of brandy
'dc.. believing that course to be the most
'effectaa way to injure the reputation of the
Democrat
The Msttingly tribe can pitch in to
stAelr hearts content, as far as we are con-
cerned. Our character for truth and So
'briety is fully established in Marshall
County.
We shall not have occasion to refer TO
these charges made against us. without
the shadow of a foundation, again through
the columns OF the Democrat, but shall
take more effectual mode of stopping the
mouths of these villaineus slanderers.

NEWSPAPER THIEVES. There are a few
men in town--wealthhy men, too, some Of
them are. who are so stiugy that they wont
take the Democrat even at dollar year
yet we see them every Thursday morning
around the stores and business houses,
where the Democrat is left, the first men
to peruse its columns. Shame on you!
If you don't like the Democrat take it be-
cause you don't like it; if you do like it.
take it and pay for it; take it whether you
pay for it or not; we would rather give it
to you than have you do without it. But
don't steal from us by reading our subscri-
bers papers.

Where thew Stand.

1t IS q very easy matter to tell where
the democratic and republican parties now
stand. or it would if the last named were
not just now in state of transition. They
are fast leaving the old position of ..no
more slave States, and no more slave terri
tory" against which all their Congressman
voted last winter, and are making haste to
get upon she new ground marked out by
Mr.. Stewards 1t is "antagonism." cit is
an irresistible conflict between opposing
and enduring forces" and it means that
the United States must and will, sooner or
later. become either entirely slavehold-
ing nation. or entirely free labor nation.
In other words, the North must war upon
the South. or the South upon the North.
This is soon to be the position of the re-
publicans, if it be not already.
The position of the democracy is best
stated in the resolution adopted at the three
Baltimore conventions of 1914, 1848, and
1852. Ii was democracy fourteen years
ago. ten years ago. and six years ago; it
was democracy two years ago, is now and
ever will be:
Resolved, That Congress has no power
under the Constitution to Interfere with or
control the domestic institutions Of the
several States, and that such States are
the sole and proper judges of everything
appertaining to their own affairs, not pro-
hibited by the Constitution: that all efforts
of the abolitionists or others made to in
duce Congress to interfere with questions
o: slavery, or to take incipient steps in re-
lation thereto. are calculated to lead to the
most alarming and dangerous consequent
ces: and that all such efforts have an in
evitable tendency TO diminish the happi-
ness of the people, and endanger the sta
bility and permanence of the Union, and
ought not to be countenanced by any
friend of our political institutions"

public generally
Particular efforts will be exerted to keep up a
complete miscellany of Neps. In this department,
