OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES.

1t is hardly necessary to speak in detail
of the candidates nominated by the de-
mocracy of Marshall county. They are
known personally to almost all the people
of the county. AL are old citizens of the
county, aud we doubt if there is one in the
list who has not been resident of the
county for at least twenty years, and sew
eral of ther have resided here, we know
fox a nuch louger time They are all
men who have long been well known and
universally trusted by their fellow citi-
Zens.
Messrs. Downy and How have held the
Offices for which they are candidates, for
the past two years, and the manner in
which they have discharged their duties
is an earnest of what they will do hereaf-
ter. We believe no honest man can say
that they have not been efficient, trusty
considerate, and in all respects worthy Of
Gcials, meriting the confidence Of their
friends. and respect of even their enemies.
Messr7. Mcdonald, Ranck, Krouse:
Brook & Logan, although private citizens,
need no intro iuction from u.s. Mr.. Nc
Donald formerly conducted THE DEMO
GRAFT, and was among the very early set
tiers in this county. His democracy is of
the answering, uncompromlsng kind,
and his constituents know full we'll in ad-
vance what to expect from Dan.
Mr. Ranck has served as county COM
missioner for several years, and we ven-
ture the assertion boldly that no better,
more competent, judicious, and upright
commissioner was ever elected in Marshall
county.
Mr.. Logan, is our cx-sheriff, in which
Office he formed the acquaintance of al
most all the people of the county, and we
have yet to hear man complain of even
the slightest injustice at his hand.
Messrs Brook and Krouse are substan-
tial, intelligent citizens, whose private
characters are without bemish; and as to
public affairs We need only say that two
harder-working unt:ring, efficient and
useful democrats never lived in our coun-
ty.
The ticket is unexceptionable, and we
ask for it the earnest, active support Of
every democrat and conservative and fair
minded man of every creed and sect, ex-
cepting, Of course, all radical Jacobins.

were portrayed as faithfully and in 90

were portrayed as faithfully and in %
strong contrast, as if the likeness Of the
races had been taken yesterday" We
thus establish period of over 5000 years
in which the negro and the white races
have been working together, and at tie
end Of this period we find the negro in
the same condition as when it commenced.
Not SO with the white race. The negro
during this period of 5000 years has
made no progress in science or civiliza-
ton he has never shown capacity for self
government, he bas in every case where
the influence Of the white man has been
withdrawn, went back into barbarism:
Not so with the white race, but on the
contrary they have governed tn: world
from time immemorial, and have been the
only repositories of true civilization To
these facts the works of Champollion, Ros-
ellini, Lepsns, Lyell, Morton, ,aud Types
Mankind, by Mott and Glidon, bear me
witness. Thus We find the eviden nee of
history against equality, also that the
negro has never jn the most favorable cir
cumstances made any improvements that
he is in every respect incapable of self
government. Then why does our foreign
radical ask foreigners to support party
which denies all historical facts? He asks
foreigners aud Jews to vote for this party
which favors negro equality. He argues
that the negro is not our inferior, there
fore he regards foreigners no better than
negro. His party does the s1me thing.
Grant and Colfax uphold the drctrine.
Yea, more, Colfax would give the negro
Office in preference 20 the German because
he is an 8 American citizen of African de-
cent" Will you support such men and
thus sacrifice your rights for the inferior
negro. think l hear you say that you
are too wise to be deluded by such men.

The Plymouth weekly Democrat., 1868-07-23

Twelve more republican senators and
thirty republican representatives will be
secured under the omnibus bill, which has
now become the law of the land.--,H. 10.
Register.
The above choice extract is from Mr..
Colfax's home organ; the paper he has
hitherto conducted with SO much "abili-
ty;" and which now fairly assumes to
speak the immaculate Schuyler's mind op
political topics We wonder that q Jaco-
bin can read the pain unvarnished state
ment of fact contained in the extract and
bill by which "twelve more senator's and
thirty republican representatives will be
secured" is the consummation Of the
blackest infamy ever perpetrated by any
political party in any country. Who are
these republican representatives. When
the question is answered in full even Jac-
obins will hang their heads in shame.
Carpet-baggers, Yankees, renegades, fit
associates for negroes by whose votes they
were elevated to office, assisted by Jaco-
bin legislation. Men who have no interest
in the land they pretend to represent, nor
sentiment for its real citizens but hatred,
which is repaid by contempt.
Political thimble-riggers, government
spies and pimps, come up from the south
and claim seats as the representatives OF a
great and formerly free people; and an
infamy called law, is prepared and passed
by which they are admitted, and the Jac-
obin press speaks of the subject as COM
mon-place matter of news, and congratu-
lates its friends on the result.
We ask every honest man to reflect a
moment before he justifes the course pur-
sael by congress in denying the southern
states representation until by negro votes
alone they send up strangers and enemies
to the south as senator's and representa-
tives. 1t is a foul shame, even though
endorsed by Schuyler Colfax and al good
JacobiDs.

4 MISREPRESENT4TIO

No democratic official of this county ever
denominated any expense of the county as
damned war pauper expense as stated liz
last weeks Republican. No poor person or
unfortunate was ever cursed by any OF
them, but the WAR that made hundreds OF
thousands of widows and orphans and then
delayed and neglected to pay the soldiers
what government owed them, was by the
auditor in one instance denominated I'D
war
If any one wants to praise and bless the
war for the widow and orphans it has made
for the debt it has heaped upon the nation
for the worthless. ignorant negroes it has
liberated and enfranchised; for the white
men it has enslaved and disfranchsed, and
for doing what the rebellion failed to do
namely, to divide the Union; we say let them
do it, but as for u.s. we fail to see where the
praise justly comes in. When the war ha.
been denounced by democrats of this or any
other locality, il was not intended for the sol
diers nor for the widows and orphans who
were impoverished by it, but for the manage
ment of the war.
Any man or thing that saJs any person wa
ever cursed or damned by any Marshal
county democratic official for being poor, is
liar and the truth does not abide in him.
The Objectionable term, "wlr pauper ex
pense," was given to that class of expense by
the the then republican board of commission
ers of the county, and was dictated by th'
president Of the board and signed by all o
them, there being but one democratic mem
hcr on the hnaId.

4 SUGGESTION.

We suggest to the democracy of La
Porte county that inasmuch as they pol
the largest democratic vote in the district
have the largest amount Of wealth oi
any county in the district, and are now
honored with the candidate for con.
grsss, that they establish a democratic
organ to assist the democracy of the dis
triet in electing their favored citizen, BY
reducing materially the very large aboli
ton majority that is universally rolled NJ
against them. As democrats of the dis
rict we feel interested iu this matter.

THE BORPO WE'D CANN OV.

When political leader commits an act
in the interest of his party, so mean and
contemplate that even the party for which
he debases himself will not defend him.
nor justify the act, it may be safely pre-
sume9 that the act is grievous, imfo!itic
and ill-timed. Baker, the present acci-
dental incumbent of the gubernatorial
chair Of this state, and candidate before
the people for election to that off ce, is in
just the position we describe above. In
his zeal 10 do some dirty work by which
he would endear himself to the Jacobin
heart he overreached himself, created
nothing but disgust and contempt, and
has not defender, we are aware of. The
gross indecency of his conduct was too
much for even the Jacobin stomach, and
they are almost ashamed to fire off the
cannon he virtually stole for their use.
We can see but very little difference, NOR
ally, between common larceny and breach
of faith, and the wilful misappropriation
of property.
We would suggest to the valiant gentle
men hereabouts, for whose sake Baker
has disgraced himself, that they make a
requisition on him for some small arms
The state must have son0, and if not it
has money wherewith to buy them, and
Baker is the peoples tool through whom
to procure them. After the election,
when Gov. Hendricks enters upon the
discharge of his duties, will be too late
for plundering the state, and now is the
time to have all your wants supplied.

the same common difference must always
exist. Then how could the white race
have resembled the most inferior! Sir
Charles Lyell, the great geologist OF Eng
land, has written remarkable book enti-
tied, "The Antiquity of Man on Earth,
based on geological data, in which he says
that "emineut anatomists have shown
that in the average proportion OF some OF
the bones of the negro differs from the
white race, and that in most of these char
acters he makes a nearer approach to the

the average brain OF the negro is nine
cubic inches less than the average OF the
white race. Then how is the negro to be

General Cnnby has become personally
