Our information last week in regard 10
our neighbours affairs was perfectly correct.
The last Democrat contained the abdi-
cation of the editor and publisher. Mr.
Samuel ). Harvey, and the announcement
that the offi,e had again fallen into the
hands of one Of its former proprietors, Mr..
John Mcdonald. Mr.. Harvey concludes
his editorial laDors with a happy compari-
son of the political condition of Marshall
County at the present time AMI its doubt
full character when he first assumed con-
troll OF the party organ, modestly claiming
that through his efforts it has been made
the banner Democratic Comfy of the State.
- Only this and nothing more" lie gives
no reason for the sudden transfer of his
crown to its old resting place on the heads
of the McBourbons, and we confess our
admiration of the stoicism with which he
submits TO misfortune. lie might have
said that he found the Democrat office
shifting from one proprie,orship 10 anoih-
er, appearing only enthusiastically, with
out an advertising patronage, its subscrip-
ton list totally demoralized, its material in
pr and its affairs in confusion that he
amended all these things, and was the first
man who ever made money out the con
Germ. And in this last sentence lies the Sc
cret of his decapitation. He made it pay
too well. five may liken county Office
to throne, he made the control of the
Democrat office relatively equal to the
position OF the Duke Of Cambridge, and il
was unreasonable that such large share
of the public pap should DC allowed to 60
down the throat of one of the commonal,y
while one of the royal family, relative of
the Auditor and his Deputy, remained on
whom it could be bestowed.
We venture the remark that the public
printing will not cost dollar less this year
than last, and that the tariff will be Just as
heavy on those unfortunates who are COM
PEELED to pay for legal advertising All
promises of reform in this respect are not
worth the paper they are printed upon.
Democrats all display the same characteris-
tics when feeding at the public crib. They
believe il milking a cow just as long as she
will give down.
But to return to poor Harvey. His fate
should be warning 10 every young man
in Marshall County who hopes for prefer
ment at the hands of the Plymouth Ring.
The offices as well as the party organ, are
gravitating again into the hands of the same
old set whom the people turned out in 1858,
and kept out until their navels almos,
grew fast to their backbones. They have
allowed Harvey and others to sow; they
are determined TO reap. They are again
in the field clamUsing for The spoil, and
rely on their extensive relationship in the
county TO secure them warm pIace il he
public chimney corner. All others Lad
just as well clear the track.
To those who do not expect to live life
of ease at the expense of the people, we
commend the following seassonable advice
of Governor Morton to young men:
And here let me address. word 10 the
young men of Indiana. You are just start
ing in life. with the world all before you,
where and how TO choose Beware how
you connect your fortunes with a decayed
and dishonored party, indelbly stained with
treason, and upon whose tombstone The his
torian will write: FALSE TO LIBERTY.
=
AGE IN WHICH 1T LIVED" The Democratic
party has committed acrime for which his
tory has no pardon, and the memories of
men TO forgetfulness; whose colors grow
darker from age to age, and for which the
exscratiOns of mankind will become more
bitter from generation to generation
