Inconsistency.

There is scarcely Republican paper
that we pick mp. but what we see some
old. stereotyped remarks in it 10 the effect
that Senator Douglas is the most unpopu-
lar man among the masses spoken of for
the Presidency. This they know to be
utterly false. and the fear of his popular
ity is the very reason why they publish
and republsh this false statement. Their
object in speaking of him in this way is
too apparent to have the desired effect, and
sensible persons will only look on such
silly attempts to lessen the Senator in the
eyes Of the people, as an evidence of the
dishonesty and presumption of thoss who
make these statements. The truth is, he
troubles them IN their dreams during their
slumbers, and causes them to "tremble in
their boots" in their waking hours.

AT no distant day. the lumber trade in
this county il it does not now, will
exceed that tf any other county in the
State. We have about twenty FIVE good
saw mills, and an almost inexhaustlble
amount Of timber The two rail roads run
through some of the best timbered land,
and have very materially increased the
trade. although the price of lumber has
but slightly advanced, except on the finer
qualities, such as Cherry, Walnut, &C.
At this time those who own timbered land
are engaged cutting and drawing logs.
The lumber and wood trade is one that
never fails; it temporarily suspends du-
ring the seasons of very deep mud; but on
the return OF good roads business revives.
In CHASING the staples, lumber and wood
should be ipcluded

Brown and the New York
Tribune.

When the news was first spread over the
country that John Brown had tried to raise
an instruction, the n. Y. Tribune as well
as the rest of the leading Republican pa
pers denounced him in the most bitter
terms. and strehuously denied that he was
Republican. or that the Republican par
ty had the least sympathy with him, but,
as his trial progressed, they began to show
their real feeling in the case, and for many
week. past the Tribune has been devoling
its columns to publishing letters and arti-
cles trying to sustain him in his treasona-
BILE conduct Men that are at heart ADO
litionists, disunionists aid traitors to their
country, cannot do be ter than to subscribe
for the Tribnne, read it and carry out the
doctrines it advocates. If they will do
this. they will be most acceptable mem

Last Friday, John w. Folney, editor of
the Philadelphia Press. was elected Clerk
Of the House. This may all be we'll enough,
but owing to lis course for sometime past,
we are afraid that there ia something about
the matter tainted with Black Republican,
ism. We have not yet seen the vote, but,
as the House is strong Republican, we
fear John has been bought. If he has sold
out, it is to be hoped that he will no longer
make pretensions TO Democracy, and if he
has been elected by Republican votes. there
is nothing more certain than that he has
barganed himself away. and got his price
in the hope of the Clcrkship. We shall
see.
Since the above was in type, we have
ascertained that Forney was elected by the
same votes that elected the Speaker, Mr..
Pennington, and therefore his election was
Republican choice. We hope he will not
advocate Senator Douglas claims TO the
Presidency. We don't want to mix "nary
time

The Republicans DisaP-
pointed.

Before the Democratic State Conven
ton convened, the Republicans of this and
other States anticipated general muss,
and prophecied split in the Democratic
party, but since the Convention has gone
off so agreeable and satisfactory to the en-
tire Democracy of the State. the Repub-
Iicans are evidently disappointed, and are
not half as sanguine of success as they
were before the Convention. We have

about the nominations, but on the other

ten,

Speaker Elected.

On the first inst. the House was organ
lied BY the election Of Mr. Pennington as
Speaker. As we stated last week. the Re-
publicans felt that they were defeated by
the withdrawal Of Sherman, and they
were ready to take any man that they could
elect Mr.. Pennington happened to be the
one he was accordingly elected. In his
election the Democracy have not gained
any thing that they can claim as victory,
only that the Helperites were beaten. and
we hope, more National man than Sher-
man, has been chosen to preside over the
councils of the country.

Since our last issue we have been en-
abled to see how things are shaping them
selves In relation to the DEMOCRAT, and for
the benefit of our patrons. we give them
an ihkling Of what is going on in this town
and County. Some of the prominent
whgets in the Republican party have been
nos,ag about, trying to find out whether
the DEMOCRAT is on a "permanent founda-
ton" and manifest grea. uneasiness about
the matter. Some have ordered their pa
per stopped, and others that were over anx
ious to show their dislike for our paper have
when they were not subscribers. These
ere the actions Of few OF the smallest Re-
publicans in this place, but it shows what
their aim IS. They are trying to create
the impression throughout the County that
the DEMOCRAT is not a permanent insti;u-
ton, and thereby keep Democrats from
supporting it. But we are glad to know
that they are succeeding very poorly in
their undertaking, and that our prospects
are far better than We expected they would
be at this time. Since we have commenc-
ed the publication Of the PLYMOUTH DEM
ocRAr, we have obtained over one hundred
new subscribers, Chose that had not been
taking the MARSHALL COUNTY DEMOCRAT,
and we expect that at The end Of six weeks
we shall have added to our list two hundred
more
So far as its being on a firm basis Is
concerned, we will merely state, that our
means are nearly all invested in it, and that
We allow to publish the DEMOCRAT here
for probably several years. should we be
permitted to live, and these contemplate
tattlers may as well get some other t cine
to harp on, as they a. ec:ilg Lo;ling.
We have given this statement merely to
post our Democratic friends SO that they
would know how to meet these repoIts.-
Their uneasiness is the best evidence that
they fear the DEMOCRAT will be among them
too long.
