Draft Excitement at Plymouth
Union Men Assaulted and Beaten.
Threats against Loyal Men and
their Property, etc., etc.

A large number of drafted Democrats
from this and several other townships in
the county assembled in this place on
Saturday last, all OF whom were more OF
less excited. Many of them soon became
intoxicated and boisterous. and during the
day several aged Union men were assault,
cd and severely beaten on account OF their
political sentiments, without any provoca-
zion whatever. The sight of Union man
seemed to render the mob furious, especi-
ally if they thought he was unprepared or
too feeble to defend himself. One old gen.
tleman. 6S years of age, was set upon by
. dozen or moro and severely handled. for
no known reason whatever except his Uni
on sentiments. Similar assaults were
made upon other peaceable Citizens

to resist the draft. or threatening to clean
out this office and gut the old Abolition
editor. They made no attempt, however.
to execute the latter threat. Why. we can
not say. unless they concluded it would
not be healthy amusement. The Demo
cratic leaders were upon the streets al, dav,
but made no effort to calm their excited
friends. Indeed, they appeared to enjoy
the entertainment. and by their demeanor
doubles encouraged the exeessos that were
committed. c. II. Reeve. we are inform
ed by reliable AMI responsible citizen,
proclaimed aloud on the street. in the pre-
sence Of an excited crowd, that he could
by turning his hand have twenty eight
hundred armed men here in twenty four
hours to lay the town in ashes and make
the streets flow with blood. and the only
reason why it had not been dome was be-
cause il hal been concluded to make one
more effort at the polls. II the effort at
the polls is unsuccessful. then. we suppose.
the town will, be laiJ in ashes and the
streets made to flow with blood. We have
no doubt the gentleman and many OF his
party have the will to do these things. but
they will hesitate long before they under
take il.
After night Democratic meeting was
held at Corbiu's Hall. We have no re-
port OF what was said and done there. but
ii did no, adjourn until late hour AS
soon rs it adjourned. however. the shouts
for JEFF Davis. Vallandigham and McClel-
Ian were again renewed, and kept up for
an hour or more at short intervals.
n large number Of drafted Union men
were also in town on Saturday. but they
were quiet. orderly and as ch, erful a. usu-
al. and expressed determination either to
go when notified or furnish substitute.
We have heard it intimaied that we
are to have q repetition next Saturday OF
the lawless and disgraceful scenes enacted
here last Saturday. Whether Union men
will submit quietly to further outrages re.
mains to be seen. We make no threats,
but we tell the Democratic leaders here.
that they can event such ou,rases. anu
if they do not, their chickens will be very
