Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1862-05-08


The movement inauguratei by members
OF the late Legislature of New York for a
Union-war party, with confscation and
gradual emancipation included. finds great
favor with the press and people of that
State. Some ninety members of the Leg
islature. including such Democrats of the
olden time as Thomas G.. Alvord, Lemuel
Stetson. Royal Phelps. Noah A. Childs.
etc.. Tin all. twenty-five Democrats. have
signed an address in which the platform of
the new party is broadly laid down-sup-
port to the Administration, no compromise
with traitors. and . line Of policy that
shall finally exhaust the institution OF sla-
very. Twenty Republican members refus-
ed to sign the address. and some effort will
be made to maintain straight Republican
organization; but the new movement car
ries with it large majority Of the people.
aud forces an issue at the polls. The
straight Republican will take "higaer
ground. and the vallandigham democra-
cy lower; and what success the Democrs-
cy gets IN the next election will be so in
fnitesimally small that it will hardly be
worth the pains OF getting.
