Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1861-10-24
Patriotic and Manly Language.

The New Albany Ledger quotes the ex-
tracts below, and follows them with an in.
dignant and manly rebuke. which we copy
with feelings of deep qualification. While
the true Democracy of Indiana follow the
course indicated by the Ledger. there will
be no fear of rebellion ever obtaining the
mastery of the nation:

trying to abuse the Republican party, for

We call particular attention to our new
advertisements. Two Of them appeared in
our local column. last week. as editorials,
unfortunately. and. no doubt many per-
sons were led to believe that they were the
reflex of the views, or sentiments of this
paper. Such is not the case We refer to
the alulatory notices OF Jim Slack, (who
for has treason 10 the Democratic party was
appointed Colonel Of the 47th regiment,
by the Black Republican Governor of this
State. and of Jehu Swainder. who is rails
ing company for the war.--Huntingto
Democrat.
Marshall and Huntington were among
the few remaining Democratic counties in
Northern Indiana. Of course we are not
surprised to hear that when the professed
"organs" of the party in these counties put
forth such sentiments as the above, tie
Democratic party was beaten at the late
election, and the county offices thereby
pass into the hands of the Republi cans.
The treason to the Democratic party"
Of which Senator Slack is accused. consists
in accepting Colonel's commission in the
Grand Army Of the Union fr m Governor
Morton. If Col. Slack is q "traitor" to
the Democratic party. so also, of course
are Generals Mcclellan. Rosencrans, But
Ter. Dix. Reynolds. Wallace, McClernand,
Stevens. McCook. and Sprague; and so
also are Colonels Manson, Davis, Walker.
Sanderson. G. l.. Dunham. Graham n
Fitch. of Indiana. Col. Logan. of Illinois.
Col. Boone. of kentucky. and a host of
others whom we might name; and so are
the thousands of Captains. Lieutenants.
and non-commissioned officers. and the
tens of thousands of brave and patriotic
Democratic privates. who have shonldered
their muskets. and risked their lives in de-
tense of the Union cause.
Yesl according to these professed Dem
ocratic editors up in Northern Indiana, all
these men arc 'traitors" to the Democratic
party because they have accepted commits
sions from Republican Governor or Re-
publican President. to fight the battles of
the nation and save the Union from dcs-
truction. When men are denounced as
traitors to the Democratic party because
they oiier their services and their lives to
their country, we are not astonished that
the people in their vicinage turn from the
candidates put farth by that party in loath-
ing and disgust. voting even for Black Re-
publicans in preference.
But, thank God. these editors and the
cliques which surround them do not speak
tor the Democratic party. as they will dis
cover to their sorrow. That glorious old
party is still true to the Union and the
Constitution, and will yield hearty sup
port to the government in its efforts to
suppress this Infamous rebellion. That il
sciR DO suppressed we believe as firmly as
that just God rules over us. Such mon
strous crimes as those Of which the South
ern rebels have been guilty will not be
permitted to go unpunished Never!
We must. however. be psrdored il We
give our Democratic friends . word of
caution. That an effort will be made to
commit the Democracy of Indiana to
policy in opposition to the war for the
Union there can be no question. We see
evidences Of i all around us. It is such
