Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1860-10-25

sbkE- The TT. Wayne Daily Times gets
off the following drive atthc Democracss
1t has been discovered that the second
Tuesday of October il a holiday with the
Democrats in many Of, the Northern States,
and that it is their custom to observe the day
in fishing and other aquatic sports when
the weather is fair. The Republicans
knew this and while their Democratic
friends and neighbors were innocently in
dulging in their hilarious sports along tho
mossy banks ofsparkling streams and sill
very brooks. they held the election in Penn.
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana. 1t was very
ungensrous for the Republicans to hold ar
election while the Democrats were fishing.
and they must not do it again. as the Dem
ocrats now feel offended and say they will
not vote at the election for President in
November, to spite the Republicans, and
we have reason to think they mean it.

The New York Tribune and other Re
publican papers brand Mr.. Douglas ant
other Democrats as being opposed to pop.
ular sovereignty in the Terrritorics. be-
cause they voted against the amendment o.
Salmon P. Chase. of Ohio. to the Nebras
ks Bill, which amendment gave tho people
the power to prohibit, and did not allow
the right to admit slavery. That is thei,
idea OF popular sovereignty--all on ono
side.-Densocratie Paper.
Mr.. Chase's amendment proposed to give
the peopl, Of the Territories power to in. in
troduce or exclude slavery 1t was inten-
ded to define definitely the ''stumpp' speech
Douglas incorporated into tho Kansas
Nebraska Bill, and pin him to the mean
ing which Democratic stump speakers all
over the North Afterwards gave to the bill.
The above paragraph is but specimen Of
the silly lies with which the Democracy at
tempt to eyade the facts Republicans put
at them.

Allen Still the Banner County.

A correspondent of the Indiana Journ
all. after saying that four years ago the
Democracy Of Allen county were presente,
with prize banner for having given ths
largest Democratic majority Of any county
in the State. claims that it is still the Ban
ner County. for having given the largest
Republican gain at the recent State elec
tion. Hendricks majority was 35S, a Re-
publican gain on Willard's majority in
1856 Of 95S. and on Buchanan's of the
same yesr of 1868. ''.d
Commenting upon the letter of its cor
respondent the Journal remarks:
1.-The change in Allen is one of the most
gratifying incidents of the great victory.
for it is proof positive that the Germans
have followed their freedom loving in
stincts into the only party that advocates
freedom and FREQ labor. To the Germans
the Republicans are largely indebted for
their victory in Indiana, and for the resto-
ration. which we believe now is inevitable,
Of the policy of the Fathers in the Nation
al Government. And the Irish, too, have
been far less devoted to Democracy than
they used to be. In this city. and various
parts OF the State. some of the most eff
cient. reliable and estimable Republican
advocates and workers arc Irish. When
naturalized citizens once understand that
their cause is the cause of free labor, and
the Republican party is the party of free
labor, they will turn to it. and as unani-
mously as they once turned against it."
Some Of the Douglas papers endeavsr to
create the impression that Hendricks was
defeated because the Breckinridge men all
voted for Lane. We do not believe from
all we have been able to learn that one
hundred Brcckinridge men in the State vo-
ted for Lane. In this part Of the State we
hear of some few that cut the State candi-
dates of their tickets, but nine-tcnths of
them voted an unscratched Democratic tick
ct from top to bottom.

California for Lincoln.

The subjoined special dispatch to the
Missouri Democrat was received one day
last week. by telegraph from St. Joseph.
and came through to that point by Pony
Express from San Francisco. 1t adds
immeasurably to the chance now presented,
that Lincoln will carry every Northern

The Topeka Record, speaking of tn,
suffering in Kansas. and the apprehenied
famine. says the charge of Incidence and
unskillfulness made against the farmers i,
most unjust. and it certainly shows very
{ plainly the injustice Of it in the following
extract:
Stripped by the Administration of the
last dollar to pay for their lands, they art
left penniless to battle with famine, at q
time when they had hoped to begin to re-
alize the fruits of their years OF toll and
suffering. Yet in this they have displayed
a remarkable degree of fortitude and in
dustry. and added renowned lustre to q
character already established for bravery,
for enterprise. and all the cnnobling attri.
butes of manhood No labor has been
spared. or effort withheld. to help them
selves, and place their families in q posi-
tion above want, and above even the ne
cessity for even friendly assistance. Du-
ring the fall of SO, thousands of acres. in
addition to what had formerly been cultiva-
ted, were sown in wheat Every farmer
was bouyant with hope, that another sea.
son, like the one past, would relieve them
OF their existing disadvantages. and place
them on firm and comfortable footing.
Hence every available acre was devoted to
this cereal. in the confident anticipation
that their labors would be crowned with
plenty. But they were destined to disap-
pointment. Then srca alternatives as
seemed to offer the surest relief, were
adopted. With the opening Of Spring,
another seeding. Of that variety was made.
That failing. by the continuance of the
drouth. corn was next resorted to, and a
great degree Of confidence was felt that
the lossiof the two wheat crops that had
been attempted. would be amply made up
by the immense breath of corn that was
then planted. This, too, failed; and the
last hope Of the farncr--buckwheat, tur-
nips, &c., &c.,--wcre resorted to as a for
lorn hope. conscious that If these. also,
failed. some agency. then unforeseen, must
stand between the people of Kansas aad
the sterility of Nature. or untold suffering
must ensuc.
1t will thus be seen that our people have
not been idle, or remiss in their endeavors
to procure subsistence from the soil. by
the most unrcmitting exertions. Not less
than four different crops have been planted
npon the same ground. All have cultiva-
ted with judgment and industry. yet with
out avail, and in the face of these facts,
there are those who indulge in sweeping
criticisms upon the efforts and habits Of
this farming community, and yet have
themselves no practical knowledge what
ever of the business.

EF The State Sentinel, after charging
upon the authority of the Cincinnati Ga.
zete and Louisville Journal. that Bright
Fitch and other friends of Breckinriiae,
voted the Republican State ticket. settles
the matter, at least in its own estimation.
by saying that the indianapolis Journal ad

Sentinel must be hard run when il is com.
PEELED to draw upon two Republican and
one Know Nothing paper for its proof, to
sustain such a charge We wonder who
made the Indianapolis JouRsAL the conf

JoURSAL knows Just as little about the
matter as the Senfinel-- Old Line Guard.
The Sentinel inferred its statements from
tho caption. Very True" which we put

it was justified in the inference. But we

Breckinridgc men voted onr State ticket
or not. we don't know. We believe two

voted no State ticket at all, or voted the

ofthe State the returns prove most conclu-

his sleeping apartment, ard it is said he
slept in sitting posture, reclining against

. leader regarding Republication in the
canvass now closing up. and in the admin

ident. thus announces the faith of the Re-
publican party. which will be endorsed by
every genuine Republican:
'.The Republican party profess most
Iemphatically 10 let slavery alone This is

ganization the aim of all their efforts. To
this all their other measures and purposes
are subsidiary. They desire that the Fed
eral Government shall let slavery alone,
that it shall give it neither help nor hurt
by official patronage or policy. They de-
sire that-no State shall Interfere with it.,
except within its own borders. They dc.
sire nothing in regard to slavery, but to
ent the Federal Government loose from
supporting it. patronizing it. and rccogni-
zing its nationality. Beyond that the Re-
publican party is willing to let the institu-
tion take its course unmolesied. If it can
grow lawfully let it grow. If it don't
grow. as it most surely will not. it can get
no help from us. Republicans say
Hands of, don't help it. don't hurt it.
lesre it to its fate, and It will soon cease
to be cause of national disturbance, and
in time will cease altogether by the act of
the States that possess it," This is Re-
publican policy in regard to slavery. No.
body cares for the active interposition of
Congress against its extension. simply be-
cause 1t will never be needed il we have q

Does this look like Negro Equality"

ny stumpers in this county assert?

We hear this same note sounded BY

in 1856. when the most shameful and bare

~ achieved by tho aid of these frauds.-
But. it is their bull that is gorcd this time
and their Lamentations are most pitifnl.--
To hear them talk one would suppose thew
were the most honorable party that ever
existed, that they scornctl to carry elec-
