Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1860-12-20
Letter from Arkansas.

We have a long letter from an intelligent gen.
tleman i'm Arkansas, urging that Mr.. Lincoln pub
lish his views upon the questions now agitatinc
the country, in advance of his Inaugural Message.
The writer says the most deporable ignorance cx-
lists among the Southern people relative to the
principles OF the Republican party. and that the
politicians in those States have infamed the masses
by the grossest and most caumous misrcpresen-
tations ofthe opinions of Mr.. Lincoln and those
who have elected him. We give the concluding
portion of the letter:
1t should not satisfy Mr. Lincoln or his friends
that he has thousand times in his speeches de-
cared his views and sentiments, and that hundreds
of papers have published them. We all know
that not one Of these papers or extract Of ais
speeches (exceptin garbled forms) has ever been
published or permitted to circulate in the South
The only extract have seen conectIy-quoted and
circulated in this State was the one used by Mr.
Benjamin IN his speech in the United States SEN
ate against Douglas (as used by Mr. Lincoln in his
debate with Dauglas) and that brief out citation did
Mr. Lincoln so much good in the South, that the
speech OF Benjamin had 10 be suppressed in many
parts Of the State. The Republican platform,
venture to say, has been seen by one person in
a Thousand in the South, and at the same time rep
resented by the dsunionists as the embodiment Of
everything abhorrent in despotic 6naticism, lcer-
tiolssness, aDdcTimc- You would hardly believe.
If stated TIE half that has been said OF Mr. Lin
coin, and believed by the masses. They have
been taught that Lincoln intends to use every
means to instigate revolt among the slaves; that
the Republicans are organized into military com
panies and intend TO march aoainsf The South undrr

Farmer G. Planter.

We are pleased TO see itstated shat over three
hundred NAMES have been added to the list Of sub
scribcrs the last month"; n'to this excellent home agi-
cultural monthly.
The liberal premiums offered by friend STOKES has
stirred up sensation among some folks to work for
the paper.
Query. Couldn't the same Efforts be mado in behalf
of this excellent periodical, aotou the inducements
offered as premiums by the Proprietor? 1t looks hard
that so good work, and so clever and industrious a
man as Mr. STOKES should be obliged to give away so
large share of his proiils-at best but moderate,-
for the purpose ofinducing those wSb ought to be
willing to work in such cause without pay, where SO
little sacrifice is required. However, It is no concern
of ours if Mr. STOKES gives his profits away that
his look out and no one else should complain
The Farmer d Planter ought to have ten thousand
subscribers and that without having to Luy thcm.

Esaig Rand to Lancaster,

The Columbia Guardian says: We are gratilicd
to learn by private correspondence, that the people Of
Lancaster District are determined to secure Rail Road
connection with Charleston, BY running road to
Camden, or to some other favorable point, Eighty
subscribers in that district have already put their names
down for the handsome sum. Of 100000.
This is truly encouraging, and we are glad to hear
as favorable tidngs Of the Railroad enterprise As we
statedn our last the people ofLancstcr arc determined
to have road and they are right Independent of
aid, they could build it themselves, but this ought not
to be expected for there are those Immediately OIL the
line of the Road, who will DO Immensely benefited
and who ought and will aid in the project We know
of one gentlemen at least who will give $4,000 or
perhaps $4,000, towards this enterprise, and there
are others ready to respond.
We have argued this proposition long ago., the ar
rpcnt has been exhausted and il the people of Camden
and Kcrshaw intend TO show their faith by their works,
let them begin ut once else decide their ie for all
tirro to come, aud see another Road built perhaps
around Camden. leading III quite different dircc-
ton.
But our opinion, as in days Of yorc, is that the Road
must Lc built from Camden and we have learned that
Mr. CALDWELL the able President of the South Caro-
lima Railroad is in favor ofthis project and will give
material encouragement to the same.
We do not intend to write lengthy articles in favor
of this cntcrprsothc reasons why the road should 0c
bnilt are too obvious to need ahored argument, and
we shall only occasionally adduce thought Or two as

If 'thc people Of the State are so decidedly in favor
of South Carolina being represented in the National
Convention at Charleston as some would have lis be-
lIevc, why is it that such profound indifference" is
manifested upon the subject.
With the exception ola very few at the several Court
Houses where meetings have been drlmmcd up by the
Conycntionists, who have assumed to think and act r
the people, we have had expression Unpopular op-
ion upon the subject and it is, quite gratuitons and
considerable stretch of the Imagination to assume that
ne people are in favor Of measure about which they
have shoSu the greatest indifference
The State Rights Anti-Cosvcntion party in South
Carolina have cared but little whether the State was
represented or not at Charleston, for Cu5oao migls
well be asked.
If the Convention party were anxious to lave n
place i'll the picture they had the right 10 60 but tc
assume from the showing which they have made that
the people are in favor of the movement simply because
of their Indifference is to say the least oft not very
modest assumption
Upon this subject tic Bcnncttsvie Son Of Temperance
remarks:
The fact is the masses Of this State habt,allv re-
gard all the political movements of the day with .pro-
louG indifference" and let the politicians have it all
their own way for the most part.
But, occasionally the people will presume to differ
with those who desire to Miak and act for them in
federal politics especially and why not on the Convcn.
