1t is great query with the people as
litical editorials which at this time appear
in the columns of the Plymouth Democrat
1t is true that few weeks ago the gentle
man whose name still appears as the os-
tensibe editor of the political articles as
sumed the charge of that department, but
the public are unwilling to believe that a
man who once held the position Of an ex-
FOUNDER of the divine teachings of the Holy
Bible. and is still member Of one of the
churches in this place, would be willing to
prostitute his talents for such immoral aud
disloyal purposes as the support of the Sth
Of January platform. and the Democratic
ticket in Marshall County; part of the
candidates on which are avowed sympa-
thizers with the rebels and enemies to the
best interests Of their Government 1t is
thought improbable that gentleman who
once argued SO earnestly the Immortality
of the human soul, could act SO inconsis-
tent with his former calling as to turn a.
round at this time and advocate the doc
trine that it is righteous to barter the
souls Of human beings for few paltry
dollars. and buy and sell mothers aud
their children as we are used to the dispos-
ing of swine with their young. The ques-
ton is. who edits the Democrat?

The Traitor Ca ndidate.

ain conclusion, sir let me tell you, that while
you are Lincoln man up to the hub,'' am not
Il am Democrat-and just so long as God lets
me live will wage unceasing war upon the incen.
diary, reasonable, damnable doctrine of your par
ty. Your party can never get control of this gov
ernment and carry their principles all their con-
sequences and effects without dissolving this
Union, ,,and involving US in civil war, and in tha.
event, when the Northern Abolitionists make war
upon the South, l KNOW VERY WELL
M. A. o. Paekard's Litter.
Is this not a more traitorous sentiment
than the one for which Jesse d. Bright
was expelled from the United States Sem
ate? Mr.. Packard admits he wrote it,
How can any loyal man vote for hini?--
Will any Democrat who has a son, or bro
ther, or friend in the Union army vote
for man who would rather shoot him
than rebel who is trying to destroy our
glorious government without any cause
whatever? Every man who votes for him
endorses the infamous and disloyal senti-
ment. Mr.. P. has done or said nothing
since he uttered it to prove that he does
not still entertain and cherish it in his
heart. The burden of all his speeches has
been abuse of the Abolitionists, and all
are Abolitionists in his estimation who are
in favor of putting down the rebellion by
hurting the rebels. while he talks loud and
long about the Constitutional rights of the
South. Liberty of speech is not Consti-
tutional right of Abolitionists, with him,
but Rebels and Traitors who are striving to
murder loyal citizens can do nothing to
impair or destroy whatever Constitutional
rights they may have heretofore possessed.

A Mendacious Dodger,

Alex Thompson, the Democratic candi-
date for Auditor in this County. is self
condemned criminal. in moral sense. and
he feels il to be so. His conscience tells
him that he is entirely unworthy the support
Of an enlightened community; and, believ-
irg that honest public opinion has already
convicted him of being worthless rene
gade to society. he seeks to forestsll spc-
ciic charges of his unfitness by denying
certain charges which he assumes have
been made against him by the honest judg-
ment of the people. He tells the voters
in the country that he is not a card player
knows nothing at all about the nature
of cards. he says ne never CANDLES with
cards because he has no money to wager on
a game of cards. No one ever accused
him. to the best of our knowledge, of be-
ing a card player; but it is fact patent to
all the citizens of Plymouth that he is an
inveterate billiard player and whiskey
drinker; and if the honest. enquiring voters
want satisfactory proof of the charges,
let them examine the books at Thompson's
fasorite saloon in this place, and they will
have not only good evidence of this gentle
mans billiard playing and whiskey drink
ing propensities, but undoubted corrobora-
tion Of his acknowledgment thst he las no
money to pay for such little "incidentals."
1t then becomes serious question with
the people whether Thompson would be
able to fill the office of Auditor, if elected.
unless he should break off his attachment
for whiskey and billiards. 1t would be
for an honest man, whenever
he wanted to transact little business with
the Auditor. to be obliged to search all the
billiard and whiskey saloons in Plymoc;.in
in quest of the fugitive official

Our Present Danger.

Col. Forney writes to the Philadelphia
Press:
l know there are those in the free States
who will resort to every artifice to turn the
Presidents proclamation into a means of
injury to the common cause. Attacked by
traitors in the South, betrayed by ingrates
at the North, our Government now
needs the service and support of her chill
dren. Will not her many sufferings a.
waken the fire OF affection in the hearts of
thoss who have heretofore been deaf to her
appeals? A strange nation. in the condi-
tion of the free people of this country,
would excite the sympathies of these SYM
pathizers with treason. But they are in
different - the cause of the mother coun-
try that bore them. on whose breast they
have grown rich and great. Out of every
act of the Administration to protect and
preserve the Governments. these wretched
partisans fabricate new elements of strife
and dissention. There is-there must be
"a limit to this atrocious treachesy in our
midst. The people should see to it. or
they are lost IF the authors of the rebell-
ioa. the advocates of Breckenridge in 1860,
and Of his new reasonable doctrines in
1851. are now permitted to sow the seed
OF q new yeyolt-in fact. to lay the ground
work of q peace that will breed unending
wsr--six'm months more will fini the loyal
States broken into fragments. the depen-
dance Of q united South. and the prey of
the Jealous monarchies OF the Old world
There is way to anticipate and crush
this great danger. The people must re-
buke the shameless demagogues who. un-
der the cloak of loyalty. are toiling on the
side Of rebellion; who opposing Mr.. Lin
cons Administration. expect to see that
of Jefferson Davis taking its place. The
Presidents proclamation will give the
|sympathisers with secession in Pennsylva-
MIA and elswhere chance to show their
hands. May it also teach the people that
the federation of such treason is the GER
tain forerunncr Of the overthrow of the Re-
public! 80 g -

They Don't Like It!

The contents of our paper OF the
18th ult., seems to have somewhat dis
turbed the equsnimity Of the ex-parson
who presides with SO much ability and diy-
nifty over the columns Of that veracious "
sheet called the Plymouth Democrat. We
supposed they would have that effect. and
are, therefore, not astonished at the male
dictions which he hurls at the senior edit
or of this paper. Following the example
of his candidate for Congress. for want of
facts and arguments with which to refute
our damaging expositions of the acts of
the Butternut candidates for Congress,
Senator and Representative. he gets down
into the ditch and wallows in his own
filth and excresence. Had our statements
been untrue. he would not have thought it
necessary to resort to personal abuse for
an answer. but pursued the course we did
in answer to the mis-statements and mis-
representations OF his candidate for the Le-
gislatnre.
We shall not stoop now to handy epi-
thets with the parson. If he thinks there
Is any thing to be made by abusing Us
personally. we are more than willing that
he shall do so to his hearts content. We

feel that it is not in his power to iniure us
a particle, BY such course, in the estima-
tion of any man whose good opinion we
value. and are therefore perfectly willing
he should write himself down vile Sian
derer. liar and biackguard. if he wishes.
We have heretofore spoken Of him cour-
tsously. and hoped to pass through the
canvass without giving him any cause to
complain of our Wa. of courtesy. but,
because we exposed the asrocious acts, and
published the tres sonable record Of bis
candidates for Senator and Representative.

ET Colonel Forney says that since the
appearance of the President proclamation.
he has reasons to know, many of the most
distinguished officers of the Army and
Navy have endorsed it. while others had
expected and asked for it. Among those
he names Generals Hooker, Banks. Wads-
worth. Heintzleman, Sigel. McClernand,
Logan. Sickles. Meagher, Hunter. Butler
and Phelps. In the navy Admiral Du-
pont is quoted among the earnest advo-
Gates of the policy of Emancipation. A.
mong the officers expected to oppose the
proclamation is General Mcclellan but
Colonel Forney says he has the best rea-
son for knowing that the expectations Of
rebel sympathizers Of aid from this quar-
ter will be disappointed. The conserva-
tive Generals will fight in obedience to
the acts of Congress and stand by the Ex-
ecutive. whatever their present opinions
may be. There is, besides class of pub
lie men, not in the army. and not Repub-
licans. who give the proclamation their
warm, cordial and grateful sanction.--
These are Governor Tod, Judge Jewett,

inson, Tremain. and Busteed, of New
York; and the well known independent

A Speech From Lincoln.

WASHINGTON, Sept "a, SCI.
There was grand popular ovation this
evening, over the Presidents proclamation.
The crowd first assembled at the execu-
tvs mansion, and serenadcd the president.
having been cheered and called for, he ap-
peared at an upper window, and spoke as
follows:
THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS.
Fellow CITIZENS: ! appear before you to
do little more than to acknowledge the
courtesy you pay me. and thank you for it.
l have not been distinctly informed why it
is you appear to do me this honor. though
| suppose it is becarse of the proclamation.
Cries of good. and applaus. What I
did, / did after very full deliberation and
under very heavy and solemn sense of
responsibility. l can only trust in God L
made no mistake. Cries of mo mistake
call right" | shall make no attempt on
this occasion to sustain what L have done
or said, by any comment. 1t is now for
the country and world to pass judgment
upon it, and may be to take action upon
it. l vii say no more upon this subject.
In my position am environed with diff
cultics, yet they are scarcely so great as
the difficulties of those who upon the bat
tie field are endeavoring to purchase with
their lives and their blood the future hap
piness and prosperity on this country
[ Applaus. long continued.l Let us never
forget them. On the 14th and 18th OF
this present month, there have been battles,
bravely. skilfully. and successfully fought.
We do not know the particulars. Let us
be shure that in giving praise to particular
persons. we do no injustice TO others. 1
only ask you, at the conclusion of thess
few remarks. to give three hearty cheers
for all good and brave officers and men who
fought those successful battles"

Like Master Like Man."

To show that some of Mr. Turpie's sup
porters are determined not to be outdone
by him in barefaced lying. we quote the
following from the Laporte Democrat, cred
tied to the Plymouth Democrat The
number of the Plymouth Democrat con-
tanning the article, for some reason, has
fa;i ed to reach us. 1t is hardly necessary
to saS that there is not a material state
ment in the whole article that is true:
"In joint discussion at South Bend it
fell to Judge Turpie to make the closing
speech. Mr.. Collax having been complete
ly demolished in argument. concluded his
pitiful abolition effort, by an attempt to
traducc the personal character of his op-
poncEt.
Judge Turpic wished to close up in
fifteen minutes speech. in relation to the
cowardly ISLANDERS of Mr.. Colfax. on that
subject. When Turpie arose to reply a.
bout 80 armed Bullies and Rounders, hire
lings of Colfax, attempted to prevent his
speaking. One of them caught the Judge
by the leg and pulled him down from the
stand-another raised his cane to strike
him. but was caught by w. II. Drapier,
Esq, and the assassin's blow was averted.
Judge Turpie appealed to Mr.. Colfax
to have his friends cease their Interrupt
tions, but he refused TO interfere. Order
however, was at length restored by the in
terposition Of Capt Gwinn and other Of
fcers Of the troops present; who after hear
ing Judge Turpie atteRtively to the end,
adjourned with three yells and tiger for
Turpie."
Since placing the above in type we have
received the Plymouth Democrat. and we
find that some of the language used in its
article was too low-lived and contemplate
for even the not over conscientious Editor
of the LaPorle Democrat to copy. In
place of "but he refused to interfere" as
quoted by the LaPorte Democrat, the ar
ticle in the Plymouth Democrat says. "but
the di>graceful sneak refused to interfere,
but was very ostentatiously engaged in
snuffing boquet which the colored ladies'
of South Bend presented to hm as to-
ken of their regard" The Italics are the
Plymouth Democrefs. nor ours. After
the close of the article as quoted by the
LsPorte Democrat. the Plymouth Demo
Graf goes on. 1.-THE shout was taken up on
every street and Hon. Schuyler Colfax
sneaked heme like whipped puppy"
The article is signed Eye Witness. -
Turpie's style and instincts stick ont all
over the article. and if not written by him.
it was written by very close imitator.-
We have no knowledge that any person
from Plymouth was present at the discus-
sion. but we do know that Mr.. Tnrpie left
here the next day en- route for Marshall
County. But whoever the author is, we
trust that South Bend is not disgraced by
the residence Of one who is capable of be-
ing SO utterly false and contemptible.--
