Ids OEMOCRAT:
Uptown may beconsidercd the left wing
of Marshall County,-supposing always that
the enemy Is in the south, and gallant
Marshall at front face"
1t reclines upon the bank of the Tippeca-
noe river, in the lap of small clearing" and
It's mills, factories, stores and schools bespeak
the thrift, enterprise and intelligence of the
gentle town folk
Uptown has been somewhat demoralized
for the WANT Of political virtue; but is now be-
ing somewhat reconstructed" by the democ-
racy.
There was time when the war whOop re
yerberatcd along the banks of the Tippeca-
noe. That was a time that tried mems
souls" Such another time was lately, when
The brave were summoned to the sacrifcc.--
But time No. two tried the hardest in Tip
town for the fat of the land Blood was
the cry, and men went forth to bleed and die;
but the life current that ebbcd from It's mortal
cIsket was found 10 flow from democratic
veins, and was unsatisfactory. II served how
ever, to water southern soil and leave CHASTITY
up the souls of an unfortunate people; and
that gratified abolition hatred But Tip'tow
can't be bled again, that's the opinion Of the
three resident NJ D's.
Uptown is supposed by some of the yer
dant 10 be the veritable site" of We ancient
Indian battle fields, which inspired flippant
bard with the song.
"Tippscanoe and Tyler too.'
and what he probably conceived within the
palatial walls of his metropolitan home. Bat
tle-fieldSa tar oifare garbs ofromance, in which
poets delight 10 dress their heroes and hence
i; is true that
distance lends enchantment to the viex."
and that which to the Tip'towners seem re-
moved and commonplace, in its sudden transi-
ton from the world, becomes quite the reverse
70 the rest of mankind
The action of the recent democratic county
convention meets with the unqualified appro-
val of the democracy OF this locality. the nom
nations are uncxccptionahle, and the compli-
ment paid 10 our town in the selection of Mr.
VI. W. Downev as a candidate for the Office of
Treasurer, is highly appreciated by the good
men OF all parties Mr.. Downey lisa reprcsen-
tatiye man of democratic principles the en-.
bodiment of honor, worth and ability. His
nomination will materially help to retrieve
the political fortunes OF Tippecanoe township.
and place the lone star" of Marshall county.
in the bright constellation of democratic
towns, which now shed the radiance Of con.
Stitutlonal liberty upon the people. The de-
mocracy has partial organization in the form
ola committee consisting of Mcssrs Alleman.
Downey and HILL TO call meetings, etc. But
this IS not sufficient; we want democratic
club, TO meet occasionally at the public places
IN the town and maui the black republican
party. What say you gentlemen?
