THE PLYMOUTH WEEKLY DEMOCRAT

We presume the Republican office will
issue circular, on the eve Of the election.
containing false charges and absurd SANDERS
against cur candidates, charges and SANDERS
that 1t dare not, fox decency's sake, insert
in the columns Of newspaper. We pre-
sumo so, from the fact that it pursued
that cou Sc last year, and Is accustomed to
do so. We hardly need warn the public
against such lying publications. Every
man knows all charges made in such
form are false, otherwise they would have
been spread before the people in the col
umns ofthe Republican, and investigation
courted. No charges dcrogatory to the
honor Of fair-dcaling and business capacity
Of our candidates, can be substantiated.
hence the Republican has not dared to
make them openly, for fear of the reaction
IN public sentiment when its Ellsehoods
were exposed. Its strong point is to wall
until the eve election aud then secretly
circulate such documents as we have re-
ferred to- trusting to avoid exposition un-
till the election is over
Democrats and honest men. generally,
Spurn Ill such circulars. and expose them
when they come to your knowledge

to-day that cur opponents are
determined to steal it, The circulars We
have referred to are Il poor compilation of
abolition lies, and it is not worth while for
democrat to waste time with them. So
far as the influence they may exert, from
any truth in them, we wish every voter in
the county could and would read them !;
but we warn democrats against the lies
given in the name of Democracy.
Our =. NJ and others about town are
busy distributing the things and hope for
great results All we ask of our readers
is to remember from whence the papers
emanate. and give them no credonce for
their false caption. Do not permit them
to throw the weight of the Democratic
name into their scale of wickedness.

Democrats. Beware!

AbOlltlOnlsm resorts to undetermined
trickery as naturally as duck takes to
water. Instead Of making fair canvas in
our county, they have held midnight SEES
sions Of their Union Leagues, and whis-
pered plans by which unwary democrats
might be trapped into supporting their
ticket at the coming election Placing no
reliance upon the justice Of their cause,
and having no faith in the principles they
advocate, they lean upon cunning aud
trickery for their hopes of success. One
of the tricks resorted to is to circulate alb
clifton documents, bearing the title of Adj
dresses to the Democracy of Indiana, and
purporting to be signed by democrats
These documents are secretly circulated
amongst democrats who are supposed to be
a little ak-kneed, and who may be inhu-
ments referred to. One is an appeal to
the Democracy of Indiana issued by the
indianapolis Journal Company, also an
"address of the Union members Of the
Legislature" signed by the principal aboli-
ton members of the late Legislature. The
documents are both pointless, harmless
things, and arc so evidently gotten up for
the purpose of dccoiving few democrats,
that they defeat their own object. Yet it
may not be out of place to warn our read
ers to beware Of all Democratic Docu-
ments" handed to them by known abof-
tionists. Democrats distribute democratic
documents, and abolitionists abolition
documents. The name Of democrat Is so

When the draft occurred in Marshall
County last Fall, the enrolling commits
soner for Polk Township omitted to pro-
cure credit for eight men who had volun
teered from that township, and twelve
men were drafted whereas four were all
that were due. Mr.. J. c. CUsHMAN as
certainea and reported these facts to the
enrolling commissioner Of the county, and
claimed correction in behalf Of the men
who were thus wrongfully drafted. The
commissioner, AIr. Mattingly, claimed that
after the draft it was too late to rcctify mis-
takes whereupon Mr. CusHMAN appealed
10 higher authority and tclegraphed to
the drafting commissioner of the State.
and finally procured an order for the
correction Of all such mistakes, by which
order some twenty or thirty men were re-
leased from unwilling and unlawful service,
from cur county, under the draft Mr.
CrsIINAN incurred quite expense in his
effort. which. many Of his grateful neigh
bors desired to reimburse him with. But
he acted from desire to sec justice done,
and fair play shown his neehbors, and
received his reward. in the consciousness

intimidation.

The abolitonis1s in our county, as in
every other locality where elections are to
be held this fall, are playing the game of
intimidation, very extensively. With the
aid of their Provost Marshal, and the pre-
cedents of arbitrary and unlawful arrests,
they are endcavoring to frighten demo-
Gratis from exercising their right of speech
and right TO vote In pursuance of this
policy, or programme, seven good citizens
were recently unlawfully arrested in our
county. and threats were freely thrown out
that many more were to be arrested soon
In fact there is scarcely township in the
county where from ten to twenty men have
not been threatened with arrest And on
this weak reed the abolitiOnistS of our
county lean for thor hope of SUCCESS
Now it is hardly necessary for US to say
that this Is all gammon, that they d0re net
attempt to make the threatened arrests.
Even if they dared to make the effort it
should but stimulate democrats to renewed
and bolder efforts The man who would
be thus intimidated is base craven who
should not be permitted to vote the demo-
cratic ticket TO freemen liberty Is dear
er than life, and when an organized and
systematic effort is made to prevent
men from voting, then all lawful voters
should exercise the right, though strife
cnsue and blood be she'd Let us teach
any who may seek thus to wrong us, that
there is danger in the path, and if the
consequences are fearful, they alone are
responsible
We apprehend no trouble; the threats
are made for effect. without doubt. but if
not, then every true man must feel it his
duty as an American citizen to claim his
rights at any hazard, and rebukc the ty-
rants boldly to their faces. Though we
may not fully realize it, yet it is true that
if We permit our elective franchise to
he taken from us, we acknowledge and
submit to an abolition monarchy, of the
most odious description. and give ourselves
up to slavery ten times more abject than
that sought to be imposed upon our fore
fathers by Great Britain, and rather than
submit to which the freemen of olden
times took up arms and vowed to resist to
the death. We are not degenerate, let Us
not be careless. Our liberties are at stake
and to preserve them we must fully feel
the Importance of the contest. We be-
seeh every democrat to do his duty next
Tuesday. Threats should but stimulate to
greater cxcrtion.

The Crisis,

If rejecting men will but think what
they are choosing between, at the polls
next Tuesday and act, upon their candid
conviction, FIR the public good, the demo
cratic majority in our county will reach a
thousand The election will be an index
of public opinion, AMI we can but attend
to our own county faithfully, and trust our
nci.hbors to DO likewise.
That the country is in most deplorablc
condition IS patent to all. That instead OF
being extricatcd from that condition, 1t is
daily growing worse, and rapidly approach
inc climax of general ruin, is equally
patent. The general ruin viii reach and
affect us all. and We must desire 60 seize
upon remedy. If that remedy is not so
active and efficient as we may desire, yet
Il it leads to an improvement and IS the
best We c IN d., it is cur duty to make the
best of it. That the policy of the admins
tration but tends to accumulate and IN
crease the evils besctting Us has been
pretty thoroughly demonstrated, and it Is
equally clear that the policy will not be
changed, So long as the people manifest
disposition to submit to it; and 1T also
seems to us that if the people speak out in
thunder tones against radicalism, abolition
ism and n.groism. that the administration
must take warning from the source OF
power. and conform to the will of the
people, despite all the pressure which may
be brought to bear upon it by the wire
workers and demagogucs who now control
the action of the President
We have borne the evils Of abolitionism
for over two. years and a half, and our
condition has been growing worse eYery
day. and now we are further from res tor-
alton Of the Union, and have less hope
full prospect Of preserving the Constitution
and the government than on the day OF
Lincoln's Inauguration. In fact the adj
minis ration has arrayed itself, with the
rebels of the South, in opposition to the
Constitution and the restoration OF the
Union as it was We have given as sup
mort 10 the government nearly million
of lives. and two thousand million of dol
lars. to worse than no purpose, ana
now, in all candor, is it not tIlle that we
demanded some change in policy Have
we not clearly demonstrated that the negro
policy is miserable, wicked failure, and
do we not owe it to ourselves to demand In
a voice that will reach the heart OF the
capital. that a change be made? This is
not Abe Lincoln government, nor does 1t
leIono to % few of his self-constituted adj
vi.ers it belongs to the people, and their
servants can be made to obey. " or pop
ali. ear DEL" is still true, and never were
the people more imperatively called upon

tinue speaking until VIC are heard and

The Importance Of the coming election
is not felt by many Of the voters Of the
county, many simply regarding it as a
mere contest between the different nomi-
nces as to who shall fill the Offices Of our
county This is the least important feature
of the election The true Importance of
the election is in the fact that by our
votes. this fall. we either endorse or re-
buke the policy Of the administration
We either approve of the unlawful and
destructive course pursued by Abraham
Lincoln and his undcrlings, or We declare
our opposition to this course in tones which
cannot be mistaken, and which will prove
a warning note for the future. We pre-
diet that IT, through carelessness, the re-
suit in our county shall be an abolition
gain. every Democrat who knows himself
bameworthy for the result, will bitterly
regent of his criminal neglect The times
are bic with great events and every man
has duty to discharge, duty he owes
his country, and that duty is to use every
possible effort to remedy the evils now up
ON us. The remedy consists in an endorse
mcnt of sound Democratic doctrine, the
application of which alone can save US;
with the sentiment of the country thor
ouphly Democratic we can hope for a
preservation of the Government and a
restoration of our rights, otherwise the car
of ruin will roll on crushing all We hold
dear beneath its wheels.

A Precedent.

If we permit ourselves to be kept from
the polls this fall by threats and inditer-
ence, we need never fatter ourselves with
the dclusive hope that we can make it all
right next fall at the Presidential election.
If we DO not poll a full and strong vote
against the abolition administration this
fall, we will never have another opportuni-
ty to do So 1t is the design OF the radi-
icals and traitors controlling the affairs of
the government, to prevent amy election at
all next fall, and declare it military ne
cessity to continue the present administers
ton. Stating in justification OF such a
course that there is danger that the peo-
pie may choose "coppcrhcad' President,
who will deliver the country over into the
hands of the rebels That the effort will
be made to prevent an election next fall
we have no doubt. If We now Indifferent
ly sleep upon our arms the effort may be
successful But If We come unanimously
up to the polls and declare our rights, We
are the better prepared hereafter to enforce
Them May we see our danger in time,
and guard against it.

The next morning after the meeting OF
the Union League in Polk Township few
weeks since, prominent Democratic cti-
zen found his door despatched with Eggs.
At the same time Il german, residing in that
township who thought he had right to
belong to the Democratic party, found sew
eral young and valuable Fruit Trees wan
tonly destroyed in his door yard.

be sure to vote the abolition ticket next
Tuesday.
If the charges made in the VI. c. Rc-
puJLcm last week against John c. Cush-
man are true, why did those = UnconditiQn-

cept the nominction, as their candidate for
representative, and when refused, offer
him the nomination for county treasurer
Had he accepted, how his praise would
have filled their mouths

became enamored with Joseph and plead

when Joseph spurned her base offer, she
became his deadly enemy. 30 Abolitionism

lure j. C. Cushman to their embrace and
their corrupt proposals, having met with

From all portions of the county we re-
ceive assurances that our Ticket will re =
ceive next Tuesday the largest majority
ever given in the county. But ON this ac-
count let no Democrat relax his efforts un-
til the polls arc closed on Tuesday night.
Remember that Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. Democrats of Marshall
do your duty and see to it that every Dem
ocrat goes to the polls.
Remember that the Abolitionists are
busy in their mid night Leagues preparato-
ry for the Election, and that their votes
will all be out Therefore it is the duty of
every Democrat to go To the polls early and
remain there until they are closed at night,
and thus prevent the accomplishment OF
any unhallowcd scheme they may have
concocted to prevent honest men from vo-
ting.
