Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1868-07-23

the large mass of Democratic voters did
not understand in its possible con-
struction and by fastening it as a
cduotcr to the proclaimed principle OF
popular sovereignty $50 palatable if taken
alone) became an accessory 10 the under
hand dealing of the Northern Democracy,
so willing 10 be the tools of southern
slaveocracy, but so afraid TO give the child
its proper name, while they conferred their
love for the oppressed in the North as Il
matter of dclusion. The man who defends
slavery, oppression in principle, must be
silent forever in defense of liberty.
Perhaps Vero objects TO reviewing the
bred Scott question, which he pronounces
dead; but let me say this, that we have 10
fight now the same party as then, for this
party consists now of the same men as then
gray and mature in their political princi-
pies, now as well as then, with the
same premises and the same intellectual
machinery. We may well inquire, "What
good can come from Nazareth at The pres
ent criSis?"
Again the Southern people acted i'm logic :
al consequence to their doctrines, nursed
Us long on the bosom of Northern Dcmoc-
racy. They began the civil war after de-
claring their secession from the Union
The Republican party resisted it, develop
ing the resources and multiplying the
means in proportion of the resistance on
the part of the South, till finally the South
ern Confederacy broke down and surren-
dered not by their oUn free xiii and
ddvdncc bit by comp utsion Of arms
to the last moment TO the victorious
North 0t disc. The South being
disorganized had 10 be reorganized as inte-
grail part of the Union; it belonged cousti
tutionally to Congress to do it and il was
done.
The war proved to the Democratic
party what the prism is to the ray
of light. 1t resolved it into various colcrs.
We had Democrats that Lecame absolute
Union men; (the country, right or wrong.
the integrity of the Union must be preserv-
led;) we had conditional and unconditional
/. war democrats and we had absolute peace
Democrats, whose immortal motto was
fiat jUstific (constitutiOn0lis ossunlp-
td) percdt mundus (uUio.)
What kind of Democrats we have now.
we shall see by and by.
am done now, Mr.. Vero, to colec, the
rays, and promise you henceforward to
bring you into the focus TO yoor hearts
content. You have the advantage over
me, by being lawyer, while pretend to
stand merely upon common sense. You
know something of Medicine, and there
fore as practical ply stefan, Imay tell you
that, my diagnosis being that there is some
thing foul in American Democracy, 1t wo d
not do, merely to make the pretension. or
the contradiction on the basis of acct
dental and sympathetic symptoms of the
moment but 10 establish also the diagnosis
scientifically upon the principles
of Anatomy, Physiology and clcmen-
tary Pathology. AS man of med.
zeal education, Mr.. Vero, you will coincide
that the indicafio sympa,hctico will do
palliative but that the rational physician
pre- cminenily reflects upon the iaosca
tioacs. cdusaiis ,ond morJi, resp. rad.
icoiis.
When have done focusing, most likely
the impartia jury will say in your lavolite
words, ''How in the Dnme of common
sense was il possible that Mr. Vero, as a
doctor, could make such diagnosis and
institute such practice. VI.
