The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1867-09-05

A "WoRMY" Rosa fellow signing
himself Isaiah Rose, writes a letter to the
Cincinnati Gazctte, in answer to letter Of
a Confederate soldier which appeared in
the Enquirer and which letter stated how
he, 1.-THE Confederate soldier was treated
IN northern prison. Roses chief desire
seems to be to show how great an ass he
can make of himself. He relates his ex-
perience at Andersonville. and starts forth
with this story, cooked up in radical style ;
After dusk the ground in many places,
had the appearance of being covered with
a light drift Of snow, the worms (maggots)
were SO thick, crawling around ready to
feast on the sores Of our sick and DIVING
7 have seen dozens Of our men lying around
with these worms working in their flesh,
before lite was yet extinct
''Rose" then goes on to state what they
had to eat, and how "excellent" and ''gl 0
riously sweet" they thought it was
When we got no meat, our, ration was
one pint of black peas, full of bugs, and
two spoonsful Of moasses. have often
seen the boys skim off the bugs while the
peas were boiling, and eat them for meat

it excellent, when We could get nothing
better, for the first two weeks we got oc-
casionally small piece Of fresh beef
After this we got no meat of any kind, ex-
cept the pea bugs.
This Isaiah Rose ought to have his
head bored, and be transported to Beast
Buffers headquarters to give evidence on
the treatment of Union prisoners by the
rebels. He is an excellent pill for Butler
or Ashley. They could impeach the Pres
ident on his testimony, without doubt.

Radical HOyIltY.

Our readers are aware that the Radical
Republicans have assumed to be the only
loyal people in the country. Loyalty
means faithful adhesion of the laws of the
land. The Constitution Of the United
States is "the supreme toc Of the land"
Hence, fidelity to that, is the highest style
of loyalty. Yet Thaddeus Stevens, the
leader of the Radical party in Congress.
has just declared, in letter to Samuel
Schook, that "the whole work Of recon
struction," done by him and his confeder-
ates in the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives in the 39th and 10th Congress,
was done "outside of and in "repudia-
ton" of the Constitution Now, then, we
ask the people to say whether the party
which undertakes, by simple majority in
Congress, to abolish the fundamental law
of the National Government, is not guilty
of tie most glazing disloyalty-of the most
atrocious treason! If not, then we do
not know the meaning Of the terms

The Next President.

Under this heading the Indianapolis
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
says:
The Democracy of the State, not con-
tent with discussing their gubernatorial
question alone, have taken upon them
selves the province of determining who
shall be the candidate for the Presidency
in '6S, and she is not backward either in
suggesting her choice Already Ken
lucky has re-echoed- her voice, and l sur
mise that other States are ready to do the
same when it is known that the Hon
Thomas A. Hendricks will be a candidate
for the nomination. Indiana has Fever
been thus honored, and now tina: she has
raised man who is, in every respect,
competent for the Office, it is nothing more
than fair that she should have the prefer
ence. The time has come when states
mauship should domiDeer over, and not a
bright pageant OF bayonets rule the coun-
try. A man who has only military knowl-
edge, only versed in the manual Of arms,
vino is not cOnversant with the machinery
of governmental affairs, and who has no
legal knowledge. is no man for that i'm
portant Office; to put sach man there
would, we think, be like turning a wild
horse loose amid room filled with the
rarest jewels. Mr.. Hendricks combines,
in an eminent degree, all the qualifications
necessary for that office so let us hear
the Democratic voice of the Union on our
noble Senator.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sent. 3.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3.
The snngerfest is in every way sue
cess. During the day representatives
from Al organizations in Ohio, Virginia,
Pennsy lvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
souri,, West Virginia, Illinois and our own
state, arrived and were appropriately re-
ccived.
This afternoon the reception took place
in the festive hall, and welcoming address
ses we're delivered by Gov Baker and
Mayor Macauley. accompanied by over
lures and chorusses by the orchestra aud
singers. The magnificent hall was ele-
gantly decorated, and was filled by repre-
sentatives from all sections of the country
This evening Washington street is IL
Illuminated with Chinese lanterns and
transparencies throughout its entire
length, and the streets arc thrOnScd with
citizens and strangers.
During the evening thor0 was splen-
did display of fireworks In the cour house

Thus far the demonstration has filed
the programme, and visitors agree in de-
claring that it has not been equaled 10y any
previous exhibition Of the kind.
The Germana society aud the Great
Western band, of Chicago, gave private
concert in Washington hall, which was
largely attended. The performances were
of an unusually fine order, nd were re-
ccived with great admiration.

Organize.

We desire to urge upon the Democracy
OF this county the importance Of speedy
and thorough organization. But little
more than a month interveues between
this and the time of the election, and there
is little time enough left to organize our
forces. The opposition are confident, al
though in the minority, and vii do every
thing possible to elect their ticket. This
can be easily prevented if Democrats do
their duty, otherwise we may be Inundated
by defeat. We hope to sec at once thor
oush waking up to the importance of main
tanning our party ascendency here. We
are looked to by our friends in other cOun-
ties to keep the Democratic banner flying
at the head Of our advancing columns, and
should we suffer it through negligence to
be trailed in the dust, and perhaps tramp
led under foot by the radicals this fall, we
shall have a sense OF shame which only
laSgards ever experience. Let meetings
be held in every school district, let every
Democrat know that he is expected to DO
his duty, let the thinking honest Republi-
cans be instructed in the true principles Of
our noble old party, and all will be we'll
Democrats, every one, work from now till
the election.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1867-09-05

George d. Prentice, of the Louisville
charges that the success of the Democracy
of Kentucky was rebel victory. He
says:
The voice Of the people of Ken ucky
has been uttered like the voice of the old
Atlantic in a storm. 1t will rosound over
land and through many years. 1t is the
tempest tone of people protesting against
and rebuking the widest and most destruc-
tive spirit OF evil that ever ragged in a
wronged and deeply afflicted country.
The Democracy OF the North will hear it
and rejoice. The Democracy of the
wronged and bleeding South will catch the
sound and take courage
Let not the vote of Kentucky be mis-
understood. There is nothing equivocal
in it. Itindicates no approval of the re-
bellion, no sympathy with those who took
part in it, no feeling whatever in regard to
it it only indi Gates that the overwhelming
masses of the conservatives of the State,
no matter what may have been their action
or their feeling in the war. are now in IA
vor of union with each other for the sake
of the Union and the Constitution, in ia
vor of cordial cooperation for the coun-
trys redemption, within the briefest posi-
bic period, from anarchy and despotism in
the worst and most horrid forms that an
archy and despotism can wear. This was
the Union for which our soldiers fought.
1t is the Union which majority of the
white people of the United States mean to
have

Commencement Of Vol. XIII.

To-day commences the 18th volume of
the Democrat We have not the time nor
space this week to make even a brief allu-
sion to the varied scene. through which the
paper has passed during the twelve years
of its existence which has just closed. 1t
has had much pecuniary embarrassment
to contend with in that time, and its sue
cess was many times regarded by its friends
and publishers as extremely doubtful yet
it has stemmed the tide of adversely, and
starts forth on its 18th birthday with every
prospect of success, and is regarded by
or citizens as one of the fixed institutions
of the town and county.
If we had better support-such sup
port as we are entitled to from the DEM
ocra.s Of Marshall county-we could give
our readers larger paper. But with the
patronage given us by Democrats We can
not afford to increase the size of the paper.
Indeed the paper is now larger than it
would be were it made to correspond with
the Democratic patronage it receives. We
hope that our friends will yet realize the
Importance of Democratic organ in the
county, and give the paper such patronage
as It is entitled to at least

made the following worn out charge against
the Democratic party. He said they ia
vored-
"1'he reputation of the national debt.
"The restoration of slavery, or, if that
can not be done, the payment by the nation
for the slaves
"Pensioning the soldiers widows and
orphans of the Confederate army.
Recognition of the right of secession.
"And the unconditional return of rebels
to political power"
The hot springs Of Arkansas seem to
have had no good effect on the ex-Govern-
or He is as sore as ever, and hates cop
perneads with a vehemence characteristic
of Morton only. The extract above
shows that Morton is not advancing much
in political speech making. His arguments
against the Democratic party are but a re-
hash of what he said in his canvass with
Mcdonald in 1864. There is no new fea-
ture in his slang, and his speech abounds
IN such stun as the above, from beginning
to end
Morton delivered his speech while sit
ting, being unable to stand. So it seems
he is not yet well. Having failed to re-
ceivc any benefit from the "moxa," (burn-
ing process, and 'no good" from the boil
ing hot springs of Arkansas, he certainly
can have little hope of a cure hereafter -
The hot springs had about as much force
on Morton as oil would have upon vitriol
or aquefortis. Morton, after undergoing
fire and hot water for couple of yeas, is
pronounced in excellent condition to max e
warm radical speeches.
