Reconsideration.

LIVER since the organization of the Re
publican party. Democrats have charged
that the OLDEST and direct tendency of that
party was the abolition of slavery in every
State where it existed, this Republicans
have from the commencement persistently
denied. The H. G. Republican in its is
sue of Oct. % 1860 under the caption
.'Repu5licaisns sceN Sta'ed' renarking as
follows;
The Indianapolis Journol, the State or
gan OF the Republican party of Indiana, in a
leader regarding Rcputlicanism in the
canvass now closing up, ahd in the admin
istration of Mr.. Lincoln. soon to he Prasi-
d, ut, thus announces the faith of the Re
publican party, which will be endorsed by
every genuine Republicans:
The Republican party profess most
emphaticaily to let slavery alone. This is
their great object, the motive OF their or
ganzation the aim of their efforts. To
this all their other measures and purposes
are sab-idIary. They desire that tie Fed
eral Government shall let slavery alone,
that it shall give it neither help nor hurt
by official patronage or policy.
Republicans say" Hands oil, don't
help it, don't hurt it, leave it to its fate,
and it will soon Cease TO be q cause of ma
tonal disturbance. and in time will cease
altogether ny the act of, the States that pos
sess IT. This Is Republican policy in re
gard to slavery.
President Lincoln, since his Inauguration
has on more than one occasion given utter
ance 20 substantially the same views, yet
contrary to his doctrine he has when the
Country was least expecting it, thrown of
AL disguise and with a mere stroke Of the
pen, proclaimed the univ, rsal abolition OF
slavery aud these same Republican papers
with their co-laborers of the Press, and on
the stump all over the land are heartily say
ing Amen. Has Republcanism changed
since l860?-they answer not at all. 1t is
only that circumstances have changed not
We Well then, can some good honest
patriotic member OF that party tell us
whether principles ever change. and
whether their leaders were onest in 1860
and if so, how they can be honest now and
advocate the abolition of slavery?
Did the Republican leader lie to their
followers in 1860, or are they lying now!
and in either case are they worthy of the
confidence OF honest men? No, surely no.

The friends of Mr.. Colfax seem to think
that nothing should be said either through
the press or the stump against him, and
they grow indignant at " hat they call
abuse of and false charges against him.
VIII his friends please to remember that
as soon as his opponent Judge Turpie was
nominated. he was abused, and berated
without stint by the friends Of Mr.. Colfax:
and would it be strange if slr. Turpe
should to some extent realiate in the same
kind?
We have no personal antipathy to Mr..
Collax, on the contrary We are his person.
al llend, but when we see him advocating
measures which we believe are runous to
the country, we feel it our duty to hold
up his record that the people may see
the danger of re-electing him to Congress.
If Judge Turpie does the same thing,
shows to the people that Mr.. Colfax is in
favor OF taxing the people to buy slaves, in
favor of SURPRISING freedom OF the Press
and free speech, in favor of suspending
the writ of llabeas Corpus, and of depri-
wing the people of the right of trial by ju-
ry, in favor Of the Pre-, ident'S Proclama-
ton freeing the slaves, in f',o of arming
the negroes. II Judge Tu;pie We say shows
these things 10 the people as he does, is he
not entitled to credit for so doing, instead
of relieving the malediclions which are
constantly being heaped upon him? could
he as an honest man. do or say less?--
Should he as the friend OF his country
keep silent when he sees the very life blood
of the Nation being extracted by fanatics
in order TO perpetuate for little longer
their hold upon place and power? Do the
friends IT Mr. CUifax call this abuse? Is
he SO pure, so patriotic. SO devoted TO the
cause of liberty, that his acts are rot to be
examined in the light Of reason and con-
rights, under pain Of being de-
nounced as disloyal uupatriotic and abu-
sive.

LUTHER JOHNSON, the Republican candi-
date for Sheriff has been fer some time
past engaged in the dirty work of peddiing
from holSe TO house, scuriilous produc-
ton viii h eminated from the flee of the
NJ. c. Republican entitled Facts for lie
people,
We caution our readers not to believe
the false and slanderous charges contained
in that dei;lmatory production; there is
nothing whatever in them. No high mind
ed honorable man could under any cir
cumstances be induced 10 become Colpor-
ter of such trash, and we ale compelled
to say that Mr. Johnson by assuming the
task has very materially lessened himself
in our estimation. If Mr.. johnson has the
requisite talent for a good Colportuer he
had better decline the race for sheriff and
engage at once in the business for which
he is admirably qualified, and go to dis
trbuting tracts of another kind. We CON-
mend him to his own conscience.

JUICE TURPIE's ABUSE OF Mr.. CoLFAx:
The Republicans complain bitterly OF
Judge Turpic because they say he abuses
Mr.. Coliax.
Now the fact is that Turpie does hold
up the congressional Record of Coliax in a
manner not at all pleasing to him or his
friends, they at least given chance TO
see themselves as others see them. and the
mirror which Turpie holds up before Col
fax does not reflect back the beautiful lm =
re that Mr.. Colfax' friends expected TO
see. The naked deformily Of the image
thus presented alarms them, aud they cry
out persecution, abuse. DC. DC.
The man who in time like this fails 10
hold the servants of the people to strict
accountability is no true friend of the peo-
pie. this Mr.. Turpie is doing for Mr.. Col
fax and chats what's the matter'-Na-
than said unto David, thou art the man;
and So says Turpie to Colfax.

DEMOCRATS, don't split your tickets
next Tuesday. We have reason to believe
that the Republicans Will attempt the game
of swapping off some of their candidates
to secure the election of others All sorts
of false stories will be put in circulation
against some OF our candidates, in order to
help them in the trading of votes Already
we have heard OF quite number Of these
false and slandcrous charges-pay no at
tention to them, they are trumped up just
on the eve Of election TO catch votes.
Vote the straight Democratic ticket, and
all will be well. The ticket is as good a
one as has ever been placed before the
voters of Marshall County much better
than The one which Republicans ask you
to support.
Our candidates are every one well quail
flied for the several Offices for which they
have been nominated.

For the Democrat,


Mr.. EDIroR:- Knowing the desperate
measures to which the opponents Of the
Democratic party are rc~orting, l feel like
giving my D mocrilc .iel.4s last warll-
ing, concerning the nrmerous fa.sehoods
that are now i'll circulation about the vari-
Gus Democratic candidates now before the
people of Marshall County for their sufIra-
ges, and also to put them on their guard
against the ISLANDERS that will doubtless APP
pear in this weeks Republican. HAT they
are false every sensible and honest man
will see and acknowledge, from the fact
that they have been kept back until 1t
would be so late that they could not be re-
fuied until after they shall have had their
effect upon the election.
Democrats you may look for anything
to be said about your candidates between
this time and the election, SO be pref AIRED
to denource these vile SANDERS as they &C.
serve. Denounce them As coming from
tha. unpripcipled individual who sought
TO disgrace your County by reporting that
it was SO behind Its quota Of troops, when
if he hal searched into the truth of the
matter, he should, most undoubtedly have
reported the County clear Of tie drctt.-
Denounce his falsehoods as coming from
man, who, three days before the draft
was to come off, had received instructions
to credit to the vai ious Townships in the
County all those whose names had not
b zen returned By the enrolling commission
ers and who never said one word to any
person Interested, about having received
such instructions, or that any credit would
be given, deuounce his ISLANDERS as coming
from heartless wretch who would have
taken many OF you from your families and
business, when your County had already
furnished It's quota Of volunteers; denounce
them as coming from the unmanly, cow
artly and malicious being who gave : :.
). Police Officer the names of Democratic
candidates, in this County III order that
they might be arrested and taken out of the
way of tie Republican candidates, that he
might still retain the County patronage;
and in short denounce HIM as beir, just
what he is: one OF the most unpiiuci lied
viiliiers that ever disgfaced and cursed d
decent community.
Do no. sp,i. or scraich Jolr ticket next
Tuesd.y, if You should do 50 and thereby
elect any one Of their candidnies, they will

Mr.. CoLFAx. heretofore when "a candi-
date for Congress pledged himself not TO
vote in favor of abolishing slavery in the
District of Columbia, unless a majority q
abolish it, Yet he did vote In favor OF
that very measure, and refused TO submit
the act TO the approval or rejection of the
people of the district.

the servant rising above his master, and
he is now asking to be continued in place:

Jisloyai Practices and the II. c.
Republican,.

Since our exposure OF the meanness o.
the editors Of the Republican, in endcavor.
ing to procure the arrest OF certain Demo
Gratis Of this place, to crafty their vindict-
i've partizan feelings, they are trying &c
back out and shirk the responsibility oil
their nefarious acts We understand that
they deny having furnished the names to
the officer who was here, and they will
probably do the same thing in their paper
ihis week. Last week they charged that
the officer was an impostor and X. q. G..
himself, and that he went to loyal men here
TO find out who were suspected Of disloy-
atty, in order to warn them of danger
The facts were, tina: he came 10 town dress
ed in Military garb, inquired COR the Repub-
lican office, went there, conversed with
both tie editors. procured the names Of u
number Of Democrats here. three OF whom
are candidates; and he protested to have
auth rity to arrest persons who were guilty
OF disloyal practices. Now it makes no
difference whether he had authority or not,
so far as the editors of the RepuJlican are
concerned, they evidently thought he had,
and SO embraced the opportunity to place
a few Democrats out of the way if possible
until after the election.
They need not now, after failing and be
ing exposed, try to sku.k the responsible
ty of their own conduct.
Lieut.. Linden when here, told Mr. Shook
that he got the names at the Republican
Office. and this can be proved.
We believe that che Of the editors, in
addition to furnishing the names, also point
ed out at least one of the men to ,he officer,
we know that we saw him standing around
for some time in front of the reel uiting of
fee here While We were making speech,
to persuade men to enlist, and he only left
VIXEN called upon to speak, which he re-
fused TO do. Immediately after the speak
ing We saw the officer for the frs: time,
who informed Us of the nature of his bust
ness, and of his establishment at finding us
thus engaged, after hearing what lie had
about us. We repeat. that SO far as the
motives of those who gave him the names,
are concerned, it makes no difference
whether he was really an officer or not
they thought he was, and gave the names.
We have no words sufficiently expressive,
to describe the dastardly meanness Of men
who would stoop to do so foul deed, the
men reported were loyal, and they knew
it, were, and had been, engaged in trying
to raise recruits, and they knew it, had
never uttered disloyal sentiment, and
they knew it; had given freely Of their
means to aid in every way they could the
Gauss of their country, and they knew it;
all this The editors of the Republican well
knew, and yet to crafty their own hellish
malice, aud perchance TO control the APP
preaching election. they clandesiinely re
ported the names of their neighbors to the
military authorities as disloyal. We will
only add that We have good reason TO be-
lieve that this is part of conspiracy ex-
isting among the leaders of the Republican
party ha ing for its object success at the
coming election. will the people indorse
the deed
