Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1865-10-12
A Nice Programme.

The discounted rebels of Louisiana have taken
up their old name oil Democrats, and are organic
ing for the State election. They differ from their
Northern brethren in holiness, but the "time
honored principles" are, OF necessity, the same in
In.Iiana as in louisiana. The Democracy of the
latter State have recently had convention in
which the principles of the party were not hidden
under bushe as Wis done in New York, but
were announced boldly, and with distinctness
that all can understand. They first resolved that
the Government was made and should be perpetu-
ated for the exclusive benefit of the white race,
thereby declaring that one half the population Of
the State is entitled TO protection to life liber
ty, or property, although required to obey the
laws and pay taxes to support those who deem
ed entitled to the benefits of the Government.
Why the Louisiana Democracy tore themselves
away from the embrace OF government establish
Ell for the exclusive benefit of the salt OF the EARTH
as they manifestly regard themselves, or why they
prosecuted domestic war to destroy such gov
crnmcnt, they did not explain.
The model Democrats who trampled supon the
American flag in 1851, and carried in lis place the
Pelican banner, next resolved that Congress ought
to compensate the Southern rebels for losses sus
tanned by the emancipation policy That modest
proposition has the true Democratic ring, and viii
be ndor< Ell by the Northern wing of the party ita
few OF the loyal States ca be wheedled into sup
porting il in T. approaching elections. Appropos
of this we have "a statements from Washington J.,
that powerful combination exists TO force through
Congress bill for at least partial assumption of
the rebel debt. If portion OF it can be provided
for by the forcing process, the combination know
that the whole must ultimately be treated with
equal favor. The two propositions would not
require more than $4,000, 600 900, and that, in
Democrliic estimation. would be moderate sum
to pa, for he unity and supremacy Of the great
and ga lO-riOus party.
Either project has about as much favor TO expect
from the present Congress would proposition
in the British Parliament TO pay the expenses OF
the Sepoy rebellion in India, but the cVnsPrators
hope TO have a minority OF Democrats in the next
Congress, in which case they propose to put the
rebel debt bill and the slave compensation bill
through with the help OF the everready Northern
Democracy.
The greatest danger to the country in the flu
ture, is the existence of the Democratic party.
But for the cncoura emcnt afforded by it To the
unwashed rebels of Louisiana, and the jo5binS
SPECTATORS who hang around Washington, we
should hear insulting propositions to pay the
rebels for making war upon Us, nor To compensate
them for slaves Justly set free in consequence OF
the treason OF their masters. All who desire to
bankrupt the nation in TIE vain effort to satisfy
the demands oflhe Southern section OF the lin
mutable" Democracy, should sustain the North
ern faction, and endeavOr TO make it so strong
that the cOmbse1 forces Will have no et'Ctual
restraint upon their pubderng schemes--ind.
