Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1862-10-16

The spirit of ruifianism and law-defy-
ing vindictirensss which was exhibited in
this place last Tuesday evening. when it
was known that the Democratic ticket was
successful throughout the county, was cef-
sainly sery humiliating to ell that class of
citizens who love morality and good or
der. The rabble portion Of the party con-
gregated in the streets, and, led by the
successful candidates. reeled around. stag
gering. shrieking and grooming in the most
horrid tones. making the night bideous
with their bacchanalian revelries.
The newly elected office went through
the crowd embracing each and every voter
which they came across. hugging. bowling
and kissing each other in the widest Of
Mandolin enthusiasm Our newly elected
Representative. we are informed, was seen
with two thirds of the brim Of his hat torn
of, standing with both arms thrown a.
round besstly intoxicated Irishman. and
his head resting upon Pats shoulder.
actually weeping in an ecs.acy Of joy
After working themselves up to the high
est pitch Of brutal recklessness. they visit
el the residence of the editor of this paper
and insulted both himself and family by
the most indecent expressions and lawless
thrests-bellowing and bowling like fienis
incarpstc. until the very air seemed to be
filled with spiriss from the internal regions.
They then came to this office, and, after
breaking open the door, INDUCED them
selves in the most devilish threats Of
carrying the printing material out into tie
street. aud tearing down the building: but.
although no one was in the Office, the poor,
drunken. cowardly whelps had too much
regard for their worthless carcasses to ven
snre iaside Of the building. although they
were srmed with knives ana pistols, which
they brandished with freedom more dan
gerous to their friends than their enemies.
Emboidened. no doubt. by their success.
frequent and bitter threats were made to
resist all future drafts in Marshall county,
even though it should result in resort to
arms and general massacre of the citi-
zens. Threats were freely made that If
any attempt was made by the government
to-srrest them they would burn the town
Of Plymouth to smouldering heap of
ashes. They even threatened to interfere
by armed force to prevent those men who
have been drafted, from being taken out of
tho County.
Such. citizens Of Marshall County. is
the banquet to which you have invited
yourselves. In the hands Of such men you
have placed the welfare. reputation, and
prosperity of your country. We sincerely
trnst that the dignity of Office will work q
temporary. if not an entire reform in them.
We have warned the people Of this
county of the smoulLering fires Of disl oval
,ty which slumbered beneath the assumed
garb of loyalty in the hearts of many of
the Democratic party; but they have been
allured from their duty BY insinusting cries
Of "nigger competition" and thigh tax
es." (which were as fallacions as they were
malicious and mischieyous, and have, in
ignorance oft unfortunate results. again
placed the Democratic party in power in
this County. and il may be throughout the
State. We can only thank an sll.wise
Providence that their power is not Nation
al, and that this wicked rebellion can pro-
badly be crushed out. with honor to our
Government. before they can change the
loyal sentiment of Congress and the Sen
ate. We hope our gloomy predictions Of
the results Of this election will not be YER
flied. but it seems like hoping against
hope. 1a sd
