The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-03-31

A Registry law exists in all or
nearly all the New England States, and
all parties approveit. Who over heard
even the Locofocos Of those States de-
nouncing the law or asking for its re-
peal, and who ever heard of fraudulent
voting there, except in the wilder por.
tons of Maine, where if in any New
England State, there is no Registry
law. But we suppose the Lccofoco
editors in this State who so fnriously
assail our law, attribute the universal
prevalence of Republicanism there to
obstacles their Registry laws throw in
the way of illegal voting, and that such
a presumption is the foundation of theil
bitter opposition to it.

To our Friends.

In three weeks the present volume
of the Republican will close, at which
time we have large amount of money
to pay out, and at the same time we
wish to make some additions to our
office, which are absolutely necessary
i'm order to accommodate our custo-
mers. But to do this we must have
money, consequently it is necessary for
those of our subscribers who have not
vet paid us, to do so Immediately. We
have on our books from $50 to 200
names of persons who have not paid
us one cent as yet. This amount would
place the Republican on sure foun-
dalton, and give us the time that we
now spend in" shining" around after
money to meet our necessary expenses.
to devote to making the paper more
acceptable to our readers. Beside, II
is our due, and we ought to have it.
We have furnished you paper fol
almost a year, and now we ask You to
come forward and assist us, in this time
of need, by paying us, that we may
paw those whom we owe. Will yor
do it.

FADED FLowERs.-It causes sad re.
Elections to take up a boquet once smil
ing with beauty, and gaze upon its
withered leaves and faded colors. But
how many faded flowers do we see on
the great boquet of humanity; men
and ladies, too, whose beauty has fled
with almost the lightning's speed, and
whose forms are sinking with prema-
ture decay. What pity it is that all
such do not know that ere disease has
taken hold Upon the vital parts, a sim
pie preparation would restore them to
health, to joy, and to beauty. Such a
preparation, for instance, as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which drives away
dependency, strengthens the weaker
parts, and restores the whole system.
1t is recommended by physicians, and
commended by all who have used it.
Sold by all Druggists, Grocers, and
dealers generally.

CONTESTED SEAT. - The Detroit
papers are now full of evidence now
being taken in the contested seat OF
Howard as. COOPER in the first Con-
gressional district. The testimony thus
shows badly for the Democratic candi-
date, and exhibits in a striking degree
the necessity for Registry law. One
man alone testifes that he imported
twenty persons into the Second Ward
in Detroit to vote the Democratic
ticket.

w Governor Brown, the late Post
Master General, was an amiable but
rather weak man, with little refinement,
but great hospitality. His household
expenses at Washington were at the
rate of 100000 per annum, which he
could well afford. He was candidate
for the Presidential nomination, and
had already published his biography,
which he distributed literally to his
friends and adherents.

BAD News FOR EMIGRANTs.-Latest
advices from the frontier says that the
Platte river is rushing down in flood
full nine miles wide. Hundreds of
early emigrants, bound for the gold
mines, were encamped on its banks
waiting an opportunity to cross. Fort
Kearney is surrounded by water, and
the Missouri, under the influence of the
flood, is higher than ever before known
thus early in the season.

the most frightful tragedy of the age
recently took place, has discovered that
it is self-defense to murder an unarmed,

he would kill those who killed hin: ... !.
Upon this theory noindictment is found

BEWARE OF UNION TICKETS
dom has there ever been a spring cleo
ton held in Michigan when there was
not a" Union Ticket" presented to the
electors. Republicans we urge you to
have nothing to do with them. Some
old croaking democrat will be the pro-
jector of such scheme to draw you
out of your path of duty, and to throw
you off your guard.

BOTTLES FOR PoIsoN.-The English
druggists are about adopting hexan-
gular bottle with deep fittings, to put
poisons in which are sold by retail.
This is to prevent persons making mis-
takes by getting hold Of the wrong
bottle. AS an additional security, the
neck of the bottle is so contracted that
but drop at time can be poured out.

On Monday next the electors of Cass
County will be called on to vote for or
against the respective candidates for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, put
in nomination by the two great politi-
cal parties, besides voting for the usual
township officers. Important as the
latter are in many respects, the election
of Chief Justice is, in much higher
degree, important to the State at large;
and it is especially so to the interests of
the Republican party.
In view of this fact we wish to ask
the Republicans of Cass if they are
ready to meet the foe. Are all your
organizations completed. Are you pre-
pared to show the President and his
minions at Washington that the peo-
pie of Michigan do not approve OF
bred Scott decisions, nor vetoes of the
Agricultural College bill and the St.
Clair Flats appropriation, nor the defeat
of the Homestead bill which gave one
hundred and sixty acres of land to the
landless.
If every thing is not ready attend to
it at once, and see that every School
District in your town is thoroughly or
ganized, and that your people are
thoroughly aroused to the prime impor'
lance of the Judicial election.
The Lecomptonites arc earnestly at
work, and are making the most siren.
nous efforts to elect Felch. Caucuses Of
the most prominent Locofocos through.
out the State have been held in Detroit
to compare notes and perfect action, and
they have pledged themselves to the
leaders at Washington to effect his
election at all hazards. They hope to
do this by quietly swapping off their
own candidates for Supervisor, Treas
urer, Justice, &C., for Republican votes
to benefit Felch. Let no Republican
stultify his principles by asserting te
such bargain. The Republicans are
strong enough to elect their achole ticket
without any assistance from such {
mode of trading, if they will only bt
vigilant and united. Democrats never
seek the help of men of other parties
except when they design to fool then
or cheat them.
In this connection, we ask every Re
publican in this county to read the
following extracts from the Detroit
Tribune, and then act upon the sugges
tons contained therein:
There are in this State near abou
1000 voting precincts. Relying upor
the well-known fact that almost every
man can control one or more votes, the
Democrats have made arrangements
by systematic designation of person.
to attend to it, to change in every ont
of these precincts FIVE votes-to get il
other words FIVE Republican votes fol
Felch. AT first sight this appears te
be small thing, but in the whole State
lit would make a difference of 10000
votes, and probably defeat Judge Mar
tin. This is what the Democrats cal
culate, and they are straining every
nerve to accomplish this object.
We have before stated how thew
Expected to accomplish this. For in.
stance, Feeble is Republican, but he
is an easy accommodating man who
can seldom say no to request. An
influential neighbor of opposite politics
approaches him, knowing that an old
friend of his in whose success he is
warmly enlisted is up for constable.
He says to him: "There is no politics
involved i'm this election. II ia simplv
