ly fixed in power before the attempt is
made to fasten on the people this pet idea
Of radicalism.
1t is fair to presume that the radical
party in the states of Ohio and Michigan
are much like, and actuated by the same
motives, of the radical party of Indiana
and Illinois. 1t is fair to presume that
the radical members of congress repre-
sent the sentiment of their party, and are
working in harmony with it.
That the radical party in Ohio did, at
the last election, held in hat state, present
the issue Of negro-suffrage unqualifedly
to the people, and that Schuyler Coliax
Gov. Morton, and almost every prominent
radical Of Indiana went over into Ohio and
urged the people Of that state to ADMIT the
negro to the polls and confer on him un-
qualified suffrage, is a matter of history
that cannot be disputed
An'S IL also true OF the state of Michi-
gan at the last election held in that state
Negroes now govern and control the
District Of Columbia, and the ballot
was placed in their hands by the present
radical congress.
Now 1t IS furthermore fair to presume
that the radicals Of Ohio, Michigan. and
congress knew what they were about, and
II SO, thcir action leaves NO room to dis.
/ pute or doubt their position on the oues
ton OF negro-suffrage.
The only reason this issue is not now
fairly presented 70 the people of This state

There is scarcely radical journal or

The man who votes the radical ticket
this fall and yet processes to oppose the
odlous doctrine of negro-sullrage and ne
gro-equality must necessarily be very dull
and witless, or very dishonest There is
now no ground to deny that the radical
party is fully committed to suffrage.

Amasa johnson says that whenever you
see a man with patched clothes on, you
can set it down that be belongs to the
democratic party. If Johnson's party is
continued in power much longer every
body, except bondholdcrs and their pets
will have to wear patched clothes. and
then, if not before, we hope to see The
people for their own interest, and not for
paying the interest on bonds in gold, while
at the same time those bonds are free from
all taxation.
There are hundreds of men in this
county who often wear patched clothes,
who know as much in minute as John
son does in twenty-four hours. IF John
son should be elected to the legislature
whose interest does the laboring man sup
pose be will represent? Surely not those
of the men who wear patched clothes, for
he says they are all democrats--that all
democrats are traitors, and that all trait
ors should be hung.

THEY DON'T FACE THE MUSIC

hmm ediately after the radical conven-
tons had conferred the honor of nomina-
ton upon " asteryelt and johnson for the
legislature these worthless conceived what
seemed to them brilliant piece of strate-
gy, aud at once sought to carry it into ex-
ecution. Knowing that the corruption of
the last congress and their schemes OF pub
lie plumber would admit of no defence be-
fore an outraged people. That the affairs
Of orr own state under radical misrulc
were in no better condition. That their
national platform pledging gold to the
bondholders, while forcing deprecated
paper money upon the farmer, mechanic
aud laborer was not popular doctrine
among men who earn their daily bread by
the sweat Of their brow They adopted
the plan of lodging all these issues and
sought to blind the peoples eyes to the
real questions before them, by making the
most vigorous charges against the man
agement of cur county affairs. Wester-
welt howled and johnson rolled up the
whites of his eyes in pious horror. over
the astounding revelations they claimed
to make of the way in which our county
officers were stealing the peoples money,
and the enormous taxes these officers
were heapng on the people by their frauds
and Encouragement. What purported to
be an exhibit of St. Joseph county, was
paraded before the voters of Marshall
county at nearly every school house and
read crossing, as proof positive of the
truth of their assertions and the dust they
threw in the air over these so called devel-
opments, was truly wonderful. Our tax
payers came rushing into town with long
faces and hair on end to relate what Yves

establishment in no measured terms.

Now and Then,

The senor editor Of the Columbian GER
tainly fails to explain to the readers Of that
paper, in his windy letter over his own sig
nature, what has brought SO sudden change
in him as to HIRAM II. KLlNE'S course
in tho Legislature few years ago. When
those Railroad swiadles were passed through
the Legislature, and the State defrauded
out Of MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, j..
G.. FREEZE classcd KLINE along with the
men whom he charged with bribery and cor
ruption! lie charged every man who as
sisted in the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
sacimlle, as well as those who aided the re-
peal Of the TONNAGE TAX, with hay.
ing betrayed their constituents and filed
their pockets with corruption money receiv.
cd from mammoth corporation! Mr..
KLINE at that time was not a fit man to
return to the Legislature, however "far-see.
ing he may have been, and we fail to see
what he has since done to cntitle him to the
support Of the Democracy of this county
He has never cleared up that record he left
behind, nor satisfied the people that lie acted
with pure and honest motives when he as
sisted those great monopolies to swindle the
State out Of an immense amount Of money
FREEZE now would have this man foisted
upon the Democracy of the county. A few
years ago he (Kline) was not fit to represent
US; tho people said so, by learing him at
honn:: but we are told in that LETTER that
KLINE is "far-secing statesman" more
than is claimed, possibly, by any one for the
man who wrote it. Col. Freeze was one of
kline's first and most reckless 'defamers"
in 1861, and a precipe issued for him at that
time might or might not have changed the
color Of things. But Kline has within the
past six years studied up some other process
by which he has hustled mp Freeze and made
him exhibit the fool and demagoguc.

Seymour and the Radicals,

IT IS singular that the Republicans all
over the country express so much sympathy
for the Democratic party in having made,
as they say, bad nomination for President.
We have Radicals in this town who talk that
way, and there are such in every section of
the country But, if the Democrats have
made bad selections in their standard bear
crs, it is to the advantage Of the Radical
party, and that party would be the last one
to make fuss over the matter, by whining
about "what bad nomination the New
York Convention made" The fact is, it is
the worst nomination that could have been
made for the Radicals 10 defeat. There is
not single charge that they can produce
against Mr.. Seymour. lie is statesman
Of ACKNOWLEDGED ability, of large expert
cncc, and immense popularity. He saved
Pennsylvania in 1863 from being overrun by
the Southern army, and prevented the cap
ture Of our State Capital. He sent regi-
mcnt after regiment to defend this State
and its Capital at the most trying moment,
and at a time when it was hard to determine
which way the great rebellion was going to
terminate Who then would dared to have
called Seymour anything else but patriot,
true to the country, true to the Constitution
and the Union. For his prompt and va!ua
bic services in defense of Pennsylvania he
was the recipient of official thanks from the
heads Of the Departments both at Wash.
ington and at Harrisburg. These official
letters and dispatches of congratulations
and thanks, sent the then Governor of New
York, will be seen in this weeks DEMO
rRAT; to which we earnestly invite the at
tcntion Of all those Republicans who are
going about pretending sympathy with the
Democrats for that 'bad nomination they
made" SEYMOUR ahead defeat him if
You can. We can set down for him lGO
electoral votos,-onc more than is required
TO make his election sure. The best way
the Radicals can fix it, they cannot get any
Of these l60 votes. They capnot carry New
York nor Pennsylvania ; aud in Cur count,
these States are the only ones upon which
there might be doubt. New York last
year went Democratic by over $4,000, and
Pennsylvania 922 for Sharswood, the Dem.
ocratic candidate for the Supreme Judge
ship. The election was hotly contested.
Since then the Democracy have lost moth
ing, but on the other hand have had acqui-
Sitions 10 our party at each and every local

Gov. Seymour and the New York
Riot.

Our neighbor Of the RepuJlitan--as well
as other intensely "loil' cusses of Radical
newspapcrdom--is making great ado about
the speech made by Gov Seymour in July,
1863, to the New York rioters, which little
rumpus was kicked up on account of an at.
tempt Of the then administration to draft
twice as many men in the German and Irish
districts Of New York city as was required
from the same number of enrolled men in
the rural Radical districts. This shameless
Outrage was investigated by committee
appointed by President Lincoln, and fully
exposed. Its attempted enforcement by
Secretary Stanton caused the riot in the city,
and Gov. Seymour hastened from Albany
to the scene to quel the mob. This occur
red on the l4th Of July five years ago. We
append Gov. Seymour's address to the riot
ers on that occasion. 1t had the effect of
allaying the excitement and dispensing the
mob. 1t is the glory of Gov. Seymour that
whilst he righted the wrongs Of those who
undertook to redress their own grievances,
he at once restored order by his simple but
earnest appeal The words Of Gov. Sey-
mour to the mob should be framed in gold.
Why did not our ncighbor Of the RepuJH.
can publish the whole speech, and not give
a garbled extract of it? Does he think his
readers are SO ignorant as not to discover
the deception? But then the DR.. and his
Radical friends have become so obtuse to
everything pure and patriotic that they even
assai this speech of Gov. Seymour, made
to save his political enemies in New York
from being lynched and their property from
being destroyed. We point to it with pride,
and ask that it shall be read by every order.
loving man in the country. The following
is the speech:
"My friends-I have come down here
from the quiet of the country to see what
was the difficulty; to learn what all this
trouble was concerning the draft. Let me

ious cheering. You have been my friends,
