Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1867-03-01

The Copperhead organs are fearfully ex-
crcised over the appointment of ''nigger~
to first class clerkship in the Treasury
Department, but find some consolation in
the supposition that Secretary McCulloch
who also gave DIR. Eddy the ColIectorship
of this District, and who appointed Mark
Packard his deputy for this county, ap-
pointed the ''nigser" merely ''as an expert
mcnt to try the nerve of the New England
clerks, who pratc abstractly for the rights
of the negro yet make the most bittcr-wry
faces at the practical workings of their
doctrine" Are they not easily consoled:
Our neighbor says: ''rhis extraordinary
event is creating some feeling of indi -na-
ton among radical clerks in the depart
ment, and to the outside world the appoint
ment of highly colored American of AT
rican descent to a first class clerkship, looks
like taking advantage of the rights of the
many discharged soldiers who wanted the
position and no doubt deserved it," We
are glad to hear our ncighbOr admit that
the soldier is entitled TO some consideration
and reward for his services. We think,
however. he is mistaken in rcgard~ TO Sec
rotary McCulloch's motive in making this
appointment. We venture the assertion
that when the whole truth comes 10 be
known that the appointment was conferred
upon the African gentleman upon his
pledging himself to use his influence with
his countrymen to vote the Copperhead
ticket at the approaching municipal cleo
ton. In other words that the colored
gentleman sold himself to the enemies of
his countrymen for an Office. Let this
be as it may, if the negro had not got the
office some Copperhead like Mark Pack
ard, or scme recreant Abolitionist like
Mark Cummings would, and so far as
loyal men are concerned they would rath
er the "nigger" had it than such charac-
ters. As to soldiers, none but the Copper
