ExLARGEp.-The VI. c. Republican has been en-
argsd. 1t is now larger by two inches one way and
inch the ether way, than beforc.-a decided swim
die as il gives very little or reading mat
ter, ard is filled almost exclusively with spurious
special notices. and cheap foreign advertisements
Plymouth Democrat.
The Democrat man is evidently chagrin
ell by the fact that the REPUBLICAN is not
only larger, but presents much better ap-
pearance than the Democrat. But, the en-
largement is "a decided swindle, as it gives
very little more room for reading matter,
and is filled almost exclusively with spuri-
Gus special notices and foreign advertise
ments." Ha. ha,. Let us look into the facts
and compare the amount of reading matter
both papers,-the Democrat and REPUBLI-
CAN.-of last week contained What the
Democrat man means by very little more
room for reading matter" we cannot say.
If we were to add another column to- each
page, and make corresponding increase
in the length of the columns. it would. per-
haps, make the same remark. but even the
present enlargement, great or small. ena-
bles Us to give at least one column more
reading matter to the page than before, and
this, in the course of year amounts to 20S
columns, or almost as much as the Demo
crat contains in four months. The last
number of the Democrat contained nearly
IL columns. the last REPrBLcAy over II
columns of reading matter. We use type
two sizes smaller than the Democrat, con-
sequen;ly one of our columns contains
theirs The Democrat gave what printers
term $4,000 ems threading matter, we gave
Sc, 500.-or what is equivalent to eight col
umns of the Democrat more than it
gave. Whether our enlargement gives very
little more room for reading matter or not.
it gives so much more than the Democrat
that its own party friends are Disguised
with its want of enterprise.
But, says the Democrat, ii lis filled al
most exclusively with spurious special no
tees and cheap foreign advertisements. :"
We do not know what the fellow means
by spurious special notices" if, indeed. he
means anything, but an examination of the
L. s. Assessors books will afford eufli-
cient reply to the latter portion of the allie
CATION. We admit that we do not charge
as much for legal advertising as the Demo-
crat man does, but we must get a better
remuneration for all our other advertising
or our income would not be so much lar
ger than his.

SCHUYLER COIfIx,

Probably the largest crowd ever assem-
bled to hear a political speech, was at
Crown Point on Thursday last to hear Hon.
Schuyler Colfax. 1t being also the dav on
which the Senatorial Convention met.
large delegation, numbering upwards of
two hundred, were in attendance from
Porter county, besides few from Jasper
and Newton counties. The speaking took
place in DIR. Petitioners grove, which had
previously been provided with seats for the
occasion.
When Mr.. Colfax arose to speak he was
greeted with the most enthusiastic applause.
and cheer after cheer was given with
hearty good will He spoke for upwards
of two hours with force and vigor and with
telling effect. We cannot give report of
the speech for want of room, but the prin-
cipal portion of it was a review of the
course Of the past Congress by reviewing
the most important measures which have
been before it from its asserlbla@e until its
adjournment, and his able vindication of
Congress was received in manner that was
truly gratifying to everybody Int Copper
heads. He also showed up the Democratic
party and their new found friends, the Con
perjohnsons. The record of the Democrat
ic party was placed before the people in
such manner as to show very fully their
want Of principle, and their treachery and
treason to the country during the war.
Nh. Coliax was listened to most atten-
lively throughout. and was interrupted
quite frequently with rounds of applause
When he win again speak in this county
we are not now able to say, but when he
does come he will speak at Lowell, of
which due notice will be given.
The campaign has now been fairly open
ed in Lake county, and it behoovcs every
Union man to be ever yigilant ana watch
full until the I'd Tuesday in October, when
we hope to announce that Lake county
gives Schuyler Colfax one thousand majority,
This can be accomplished if we but do our
duty. Then let us all work determinelly
together until the object is attained

Gift ENTERPRISE S.vindling

A recent issue of the Tribune gave cur
rency to rumOr that a firm in this city,
largely engaged in the Gift Enterprise bust
ness. had suspended" That article has
been extensively copied. and speculation is
rife in many parts of the United States as
to the particular firm limited at-there be
ing so many parties here engaged in the
business that considerable range of CUES
sing was possible. 1t was pretty generally
understood i'm Chicago that the report re-
fcrred to Virgins & Bradford, a firm which
started out with the announcement of a
scheme so mammoth in its proportions as To
oversahadOw all other gift Concert schemes.
The rumor has attached itself more extern
sively to the Opera House Enterprise"
than to any other probably because that is
much more widely known than any other.
1t is proper to say that the Opera House
scheme was not referred to.
1t is reported that Virgins is in Canada,
where he believes himself to be beyond the
reach of the United States authorities, and
that Bradford is in New York, engaged in
conducting to maturity another of the bub-
bles which seems to have been so success
fully burst in this city. 1t is estimated that
about three hundred thousand dOllars'were
taken by the firm for tickets here.-Chi

Comprehend Record.

If any one wishes to learn the sentiments
of the Copperhead party on the subject of
the war we refer them to an article on our
first page. 1t is record they have made
themselves, and cannot, therefore deny it.
Read il, and hand it to your Democratic
neighbor.
ItcannOt be possible that majority of the
people of Marshall county will endorse a
party having such an infamous record.

The Joint Discussion.

Yesterday was the proudest day for the
Union men of White county that has been
witnessed since the beginning of the can
vass. y complete triumph was achieved
without effort by Mr.. ColfaX. and the care
fully prepared speech of Mr. Turpie, which
he has twice before rchearsed wholly, and
many times in part, to White county audi
ences, wss completely riddled by the pom
derous argument of our noble Representa-
tive.
As we anticipated, TuTpie became furi-
ously personal in the close, and totally lost
sight of his repetition OF the hOmely adage
soft words butter no parsneps. with
his rendering of il 10 hard words pay no
taxes"
We arc inclined to think he Will be con-
strained To believe, from what occurred af-
ter the adjournment, that hard words make
no votes-Mon.icclo Herald.

Irish characterization.

The following resolution, expressive of
the sympathy felt by Union men all over
the country for the efforts of Irishmen to
establish the Independence of their native
land, was adopted at the recent Union
State Convention of Illinois:
Resolred, That the Convention fully ap-
proves the proposed action of Congress in
the modification of the Neutrality Laws of
the United States, and that we deeply SYM
pathiZe with our Irish fellow-citi.ens in
their love of their native land, and that we
will rejoice with them in the redemption of
Ireland from British misrule and wrongs,
and that they shall have our countenance
and support in all lawful means employed
to accomplish that end.

Several fatal cases have occurred at Chi

Onslaught OF the Treasury.

An ardent organ of the President and Sec
rotary McCulloch rates the extravaganza of
Congress in making an appropriation for the
payment of soldiers bOunties, saying:
''Nor is he responsible for the onslaught upon the
Treasury, under the poor pretence of equazing the
soldiers bOunties.
He is however, responsible, in an eminent
degree for the defeat in the Senate ofthe bill
originating in the House for perfect and
fair equalization of the bOnnties. Had not
the radicals ofthat body held ont against the
most determined opposition they would not
have succeeded in carrying through the bill
which they did, and which Speaker Colfax
Justly remarked in his speech here, gives the
soldiers an installment of what is due them;
and there is no doubt, ifthe rebels do not
succeed in getting a double representation
through the aid of Northern Copperheads
i'm defeating the Constitutional Amendment,
that the balance will be paid as soon as it
is established that it can be done without
serious detriment to the Government cred
it.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, and
other prominent rebels, have made no secret
of the intention of that section to vote
against all appropriations for Northern sol
diers and pensioners, unless the rebel sol
ulerS are also pcnslOncu Inc propOScu
Constitutional amendment would cffcctual-
ly prohibit this, and il is therefore most bit
tcrlv assailed by rebels and those at the
North who expect To profit from a political
alliance with them. 1t is true, as the
Iimus claims above. that the Radicals in
Congress are wholly to blame for what
bounty the soldiers are getting and that, If
the Presidents present friends obtain the
supremacy there will be no more appropria-
tons of the sort. We suppose that Con
gress will stand the responsibility; and if
the next one is of the same stripe all the
bounties will be equalized, lift does require
another onslaught on the Treasury.-Ind
