Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1863-09-10

The South Bend Register, after giving
the names of the Union candidates in this
county. says the Union men of Marshall
will have to work harder than they did
last year if they elect their ticket.
1t was not for the want of work that
the Union ticket was defeated in this coun-
ty last year. We worked as hard as our
opponents for that matter. but the stupen-
dous and brazen-faced lies and misrepre-
sensations Of the rebel-sympathising ora
tors and strikers. in regard to the tax law,
draft, and other measures OF the Admins
tration, had the effect to mislead . great
many who confded in them. and who had
not previously voted with them. But their
statements having all been proven base
lies. and their prophecies Of the same char
scter, and having also demonstrated their
true disloyal feelings. in their attempts te
inaugurate rebellion at home, by uncon-
stitutional legislation. arming themselves
generally to resist the laws. encouraging
mobs and barboring deserters. many who
were deceived by them have already turn
ed away from them with loathing and dis
gust, and many more will doubtless get
.bssr eyes open sooner or later.
But, it is true, We are not now as vel
organized as we should be, and so far but
little work has been done since the present
campaign opened. This should be RENE

us. lay off his coat and go to work. We

proper efforts on the part Of Union men

The recent Union victories in Kentucky
Vermont and California is having mos
depressing effect on the Copperheads, and
although they try to conceal the desperate
condition of their cause, As well as that o
the rebels. their allies. it is plain to b
seen that all hope Of their own success Of
that of the south has died within them
They hoped to have . majority in the mex
Congress so that they could finish old Jiu
Buehsnan's job of betraying the nation
and selling out to the rebels. but being
thwarted in this by the people. in thei
desperation they advise their friends to at
tend the polls armed with dsggers and re
volvers for the purpose of driving Unior
men off like they did in Kansas, or muir
dering them like they did last month in
New York city. We like to hear them
give their dupes such advice. not becaus'
we wish to see civil war inaugurated il
the North, bnt because, in the first place
we are not afraid of them, and in the Sc
cond place it proves that things do moi
work to their notion. and consequently
are mad and would Sight if they were no
. little afraid they would get the worst Of
it. '
The signs of the times are indeed bright
and Frightening. Our brave boys in th'
field are thrsshing the rebels soundly. ant
the Union men at home are driving tn
