Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1862-10-02

In last weeks Democrat the Hon. NJ. A.
o. Packard published an address Ito the
voters of Marshall and Starke counties"
This address seems to have been issued
| by MFR. Packard to counteract the inauen-
ces set to work by the publication in this
paper Of copious extracts rom the gentle.
mans speech on the Estate of the Union, %
in the Fl. R., Feb. 1. 1861. -. ...'' -
In the address alluded to Mr.. p. holds
forth in the following characteristic strain:
"Thc NJ. c. Republican, and some of the aboli.
ton speakers, who are traversing the county, in
GLIDING my opponent, Mr.. Parks, are quoting gar
bled and falsely pretended extracts from my speech
on the Estate Of the Unon'' delivered before the
Legislature on the LIST Of Feb. 1861. The BREWER
Legislative Reports, which ere published some
two months after the Legislature adjourned, had
already. in giving synopsis of my speech, which
r. all they claim to do. done me. though uninten-
tionally presume, great injustice, and in some
places entirely mirepresented my views. These
ials6ers instead of quoting from my speech itself,
which was published ut length, and is accessible to
them, take advantage of this imperfect and incor.
rect synopsis to misrepresent my views" %
In this brief extract the Hon. gentleman,
Mr.. Packard. in his usual hot haste, indis-
criminately charges his opponents who adj
vocate his defeat. by writing and speaking.
as a6oliionists and talsifers in other words,
abolition liars! The gentleman has hap
py faculty of trying to dispose of every
thing adverse to what he supposes are his
present interests. by Wholesale denuncia-
ton; and in turn whines like whipped
cur at what he is pleased to term personal
abuse, when his atrocious and dishonest acts
are related in simple and unvarnished Ian
guage. The bad. the INFAMOUS speech he
made-even taking his own VERSIONS
sadly In the way of his reelection to the
Legislature. when the whole loyal land is
ringing with the patriotic war cry-"down
with the accursed rebellion and all who
have sympathies with i.;;''-and to avert
the calamity that awaits him, be with great
force of argument, denounce his opponents
who dare to call attention to full and fair
extracts from his great (traitorous) speech
as they find them in an authorised synop-
sis of it. as Jalsjfersi 81 ri. ya- ~
Mr.. r. complains bitterly that we did
not quote from his speech which was pub
lished at length. We shall accomm odste
the gentleman to some extent in this arti-
Gle. and hope his marmurings will then
cease. ~ $3.50 aaf11s ~ -er'
We had not the slightest suspicion that
in the BREWER Reports sentence, or "a
syllable Of q sentence" was incorrectly at
tributed to him. nor did we know that his
great speech was published at length in
the Daily Sentinel. We believed then as
we believe nop, that Mr.. Packard did
speak the identical words published in
former number of this paper, as parts of
his great speech and that they were cor
rectly reported in the BREWER Legislative
Reports.
The Drapiers of South Bend. publish
ers of the Forum, are old experienced rer-
6atim reporters. They have reported a
large number Of speeches and were new
er before accused of misrepresenting a

the time they reported Mr.. P's great
speech. Democrats, as good as himself
and specially employed to report the do
ings of the Legislature. They were per-
sonal friends of Mr.. Packard, and six hun
dred copies of their BREWER Reports were
purchased by the House Of Representatives
for the use of its members through the d.
rect influence of Mr.. p. himself-he having
offered resolution to that effect which
was adopted. rsaiscas a.ii

No other gentleman of whom VIC know
has complained of their speeches rs re-
ported by the Drapiers. and Mr.. P.'s own
version only differs from the ''incorrect sy-
nopsis." as he calls it. when the sentiments
are too obnoxious for this patriotic region.

affidavit that they in some places entirely
misrepresented his views. as hc says they
did. perhaps then his address may find be-
