DISPOSED to GrumbIc.

THE Republican party has always taken
to itself great praise for the unity and
harmony which pervades that organization.
To be thoroughly united in good cause,
and harmoniously working together for its
advancement, is condition Of which ev
cry true patriot may well be proud; and if
a perceptihle vein of egotism should char
actsrize their elf-glorification, to withhold
a full and complete pardon would be man.
ifestly unjust. We think tue "Republ
can," or Opposition party. has neither
a good cause. or harmony in its ranks. It's
pretensions are no solution of its intentions,
and if we would acquaint ourselves with
the latter, we have but to look at actions.
1t pretends to labor for :he good of the
country. when in truth it ignores the ex-
istence of one half, or. if it recognizes it
at all, it is but to outrage and wantonly
abuse. The harmony which has hereto
fore pervaded their ranks was attributable
to their lack of power, and not from any
virtue that might be supposed to exist in
their cause. Now. that they feel their
strength, the murmurings of dissatisfac.
ton which have heretofore been stitled for
the good Of the party, begin to bubble on
the surface. The heterogeneous mass
which compose the active elements OF the
party. can no longer be kept in subsection
from motives Of propriety. If such an in
congruous conglomeration of the refuse Of
all defunct political organizations could
long continue in harmonious condition
thus proving that they were actuated by
principle, and not merely opposition to
Democracy,-then, indeed, Is the tenth
wonder upon US.
The latest instance Of dissatisfaction
that has come to the public eve, is occa-
stoned by the appointment of the Chicago
Convention at such late Date. The South
Bend Register, which. when it cannot
lead IN the affairs OF the party. iSone olthe
tractable elements in its ranks, in its issue
of Feb. 2. says:
The Republican Press all over the
country, with scarcely single exception,
are earnestly urging the National Com
mittee to change the time of holding the
Republican National Convention from the
18th Of June to at least a month earlier;
and ir. this respect the Republican Press
undoubtedly represent the wishes Of more
than nine -tenths of the Republican party.
We know it is the case in this vicinity
The National Committee certainly ought
to pay some respect to the wishes Of the
great mass Of the party, but thus far they
have given no indication Of willingness
to do SO; and we fear the time set will be
adhered. to the great detriment and injury
of the Republican cause.

Job Stout, Of Lafayette Co. will be y
candidate before the Republican Mass Con-
ventIon, for Auditor Of State. We hope
job may be nominated, for, whether he
be elected or not, he will be sure TO run

If Mr.. Stout's knowledge of the geo
graphy Of the State does not exceed the
Indianian editors, it is very probaole he
would run out of the State, or into WarSow
County. We do not wish to NEEDLE with
the affairs Of the Opposition. but we would
suggest that hat editor would be a good
delegate to the Mass Convention. His
would be selection eminently proper to
be made.

EE- Thanks 10 our friend John A.
Rhoads, at Argus, for list of six more
subscribers and other names that were al
ready on our book, and promise to contin-
ne his efforts in our behalf. Mr.. Rhoads
was formerly an old line Wing, but could
not go the Niger in 1856, and modern Re-
publicanism was too narrow minded 10 ac-
cord with his ideas of genuine Republi-
can form of government, and he natuaral-
ly and scnsibly withdrew from the Oppo-
sition party and is now sound National
Democrat.
May others seeing his good works be
constrained to do likewise. Friends LET
us hear from you.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION CHANGED. -
Since the outside was worked off, We have
concluded to make the subscription terms
of the Democrat uniform, to-wit:
One dollar and fifty cents per year. with
out any additional charges if paid within
the year, if not paid within the year. TWO
dollars. We have done this to favor some
honest Democrats. that were not able to
pay for the paper in SO short lime, and were
afraid Of its accumulating. We hopc. how
ever, that there are but few of our patrons
that will not be able to pay us in something
within the year at least

We hope our Democratic friends through

the fact that they should be prompt in pay
ing for the Democrat.
We have made the subscription price
uniform, and hope none will take advantage
of our liberality.

MARSHALL CoUNTY.--Asidc from the
valuable Farming land which may be
found in this County, the excellence OF
its Timber--the large amount--and great
Railroad facilities for shipment, is now IN
ducing large investments, not only III the
raw material, but in first class Steam
Mills, to fit it for market. The steady
home demand for lumber is large, and
must continue so, as long as our Coun-
ty improves AS it does at present.
Investments, not only in Mills, but in 9th
err kinds of enterprise, are coming in from
abroad, increasing in proportion, as the
advantages of Marshall county become
known.
In connection with this subject we
would state, that Messrs. S. IL j. Post,
recently from Ohio, are now erecting a
first class Steam Saw Mill, some two
miles from Alden Post Office, in this
county. They have their yard already
well stocked with logs. Their Machinery.
we understand, is of the best kind, and
no doubt they will do a thriving business.
Success to you, gentlemen.

meetinr of Congress.

We are informed by the Geographic dispatches
that Congress assembled on Monday. The Repre-
sentatives are reported to have been excessively
Merry on the occasion. We suppose these merry
gentlemen have perfect right to indulge their
humor, when and whenever they please. Yet we
must contend that it was an unseemly and hollow
exhibition of pleasantly and in very marked con-
trast to the feeling and expectations of their con-
stituents. We are tempted to illustrate it by the
hackneyed example of the Emperor who iddled
while Rome was in flames. Be this as it may, other
dispatches from the Capital Enthusiastically indicate
that there is but little cause for even comfortable
feeling among the the earnest men of the country
The links which bind together the COnfederacy seem
TO be almost broken. 1t is evident now Tat at
east four States will follow South Carolina out of
the Union, Georgia, Alabama Mississippi and Fori-
da. These the direct effects of the madness and
fanatcism of the North in waging hostility against
another portion Of the Confederacy. We doubt
whether this certainty of dismemberment of the

While GREELEY, though opposing coercion against the
South rather ntensiies his rufianly abuse and in

The New York Times warns the South that they
cannot secede without war.
Lieutenant Governor MoRToY, of Indiana, has
made a studied speech, in which he denounces the
seceders traitors and advocates the policy ofopen
war upon them by the Federal Government, thus
upholding the barbarous policy Of completing by
bayonets the conquest of the South, and changing
the Southern States literally from Sovereign States
to conquered provinces of the Northern States
This gentleman thinks the whole South will not
aid in the defence of the assailed States. We
trust that neither he nor any of his cOnfederates
will ever attempt TO carry out this brutal and
bloody policy If they do they will find the entire
South ready to invite them with bloody hands to
hospitable graves 1t is well that they should
know what to expect before they enter upon any
