What the New York Herald Thinks
of Speaker C0lfax.

We recommend the following article
from the New York Herald to the careful
consideration of the pack Of small fry
politicians, who have been slandering Mr.
Colfax for years and to honest Democrats
who desire to vote for the hes. interest of
the District and the country:
The State of Indiana appears to contain
a larger proportion of unmiiigatcd seccs-
sion sympethizers than any other one of
the professedly loyal States. and its Con-
gressional delegation on the democratic
side of the Honse of representatives head
Ell by MIR. Voorhees,. Vallandigh4m's
Lieutenant. is just such as might be ex-
pecied from such a constituency The
credit of the State was largely redeemed
however. by having among its representa-
tives MIR. Schuyler Colfax. whose capaci-
ty. intellect and parliamentary knowledge
elevated him to the Speakers chair, where
his impartiality in administering the rules
Of the House was recognized even bv
political enemies. Mr.. Coliax has been
renominatei for Congress in the South
Bend District, and it was to be hoped tina,
all parties would have corcurrcd in the
nomination, and given him a unanimous
reelection. But it seems he is altogether
too loyal and respectable gentleman to
suit the views Of the jeff Davis faction,
which has consequently trotted ont ,ne
of his own champions in the person of Mr..
David Turpie
Of course we know nothing whatever
about this Mr.. Tnrpie. except that he was
defeated in the contest against Mr.. Colfax
at the last election; but the fact Of his
being the nominee of a Convention whose
speeches were made in favor of an "im-
m ediate and unconditional peace" where
our brave soldiers were declared to be
engaged in waging IAN unholy war against
our Southern BRETHREN" where the effort
to preserve the nation from dissolution by
traitors was stigmatized as "a crusade
against the liberties and dearest rights of
our Southern brethren" and "a IAN
Infamous contest" is sufficient in itself to
point him out as an unit person to occu.
py seat on the floor of Congress. much
less to take the place of such loyal and
upright representative as Mr.. Colfax.
The State of lnliaua has not much to
boast of in the way Congressional repre-.
sentatives. and we do hope that at least
the voters Of the South Bend district will
be unwilling to make the matters worse by
substituting Turpie for Colfax.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1864-09-22


Mr.. Colfax spoke on Thursday and Fri
day last at Marmont and Argos to very
large audiences. At Argos, especially,
the audience was the largest that ever as
sembledin the place, and Mr.. Colfax made
one of the ablest and most convincing
speeches we ever heard him deliver. We
heard two men who voted the Copperhead
ticket in 1862, declare, sitter listening to
him, that they could not vote the Demo-
cratic ticket any longer. They said they
were satisfied that the party had taken the
wrong shoot on the war question and could
not conscientiously adhere to it longer.
The Rochester Glee Club, the finest in this
part of the State, and the Martial Bands
from Tyner City and this place were pre-
sent at Argos and added much to the in
terest CT the occasion. The Union men of
Walnut township are united and active.
and will give good account of themselves
In October and November.
