Little feet, so glad and gay,

Filling all my heart with song
Well love your music sweet:

Praying oft that all be fair,
Nor thorns or roughness anywhere;
That flowers may spring their steps to greet

Through thorns and briers, nearer God;
Though weak in faith, still would dare
To offer up the earnest prayer,
That Christ would choose whate'er is meet

Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1868-05-28

The call for Republican Congressional
Convention for this district viii be found
elsewhere.
We have heard the names of several
gentlemen mentioned us suitable candidates
for Congress, any one OF whom we can
chcerfuily support, if nominated, but we
are still of the opinion that Gen. Jasper
Packard will run better and add more
strength to the ticket than any man that
has vet been spoken of He is a fluent,
logical and eloquent speaker. and his pri
vate character is irrcproachable; his name
is the synonym of honor, integrity and pa
tri0tism, and his qualifications are beyond
question. He has been a bold and outspo-
ken Republican ever since the formation of
the party, and has given cordial and un-
wayerins support to every prominent
measure of the last and present Congress
There is no discount upon his Republican
ism, and cannot he corrupted either by the
establishments of pawcr or love OF sorJlid
gain. What more can be asked Tor in a
Congressional candidate? His services 10
the field during the rebellion have been
referred to heretofore, briefly, and are too
well known TO require mention now. III
nominated he win make gallant standard
bearer of the Republican party, and a
worthy successor of Schuyler Colfax, who
has been promoted to higher position on
the National ticket With Grant and Col
fax as our CHEF standard bearers, and
Baker. Curnback aud Packard as State
an District leaders of the Republican, le-
gions, who can entertain doubt of a giO-
rious and Overwhelming triumph over our
divided and demoralized opponents?

Harvey proclaimed he was making moreF,

buy the office, and IN case he refused l.
sell at reasonable figures to threaten him
with the establishment of another Demo-
cratic Office here. Harvey, at first, was
very much in6isposed TO sell, but the
threat had the desired effect, and John
Mcdonald became the ostensible owner of
the establishment. He is running the
thing now, and if he makes it pay, will
have to pursue the identical policy of his
immediate predecessor. Ii he does, the
overthrow of the Democratic party in
Marshall county, is only question of time.
The people will not subnit TO see upfortu-

The Nominations.

The nominations sor President and Vice
President, made by the Republican Ma
tienal Convention which assembled at Chi
cago last week, give universal satisfaction
and delight, among Republicans, and were
received all over the country with the
widest enthusiasm. In this county the
Republicans are not only satisfied Eut in
iensely gratified with the selections oil the
Convention. There was no anxiety in re-
gard to who the nominee for President
would be, as the people with unparalleled
unaniiniiy, under similar circumstances,
had previously designated their choice in
unm:stakable terms. and all the Convention
had To do was TO ratify their selection,
which it did with commendable fidelity,
General Grant receiving the vote Of every
delegate from every State and Territory in
the nation, except Utah and Arizona,
which were unrepresented. But it was
different in respect to the Vice Presidency.
There were eight or ten prominent candi-
dates for the position, and it was not 50
certain upon whom the choice would ulti-
mately fall. Mr.. Colfax's friends feared
that his locality would prevent his selec-
ton, inasmncli as Grant was also West
ern man; but he was the second choice of
a sufficient humber, added TO those who
voted for him on the first ballot, to give
him tie nomination, and when, after the
9TH ballot, it having become evident that
he would receive the nomination on the,
next rial, Pennsylvania changed her vote
from Curtin to Colfax, thus terminating
the contest, a scene OF the widest excite
ment and enthusiasm ever witnessed in
such an assemblage, prevailed for several
minutes. Other States and Territories fol-
lowed the example OF Pennsylvania in
rapid succession, until at length all the
States. except one or two. had given their
votes for COlfax, when, upon motion Of
tue New York delegation, the nomination
was made unanimous. go .f..fs..- ...-s
That Grant and Colf:lx is as s;reng a
ticket as could have been nominated, is
conceded by all, and that it will be elected
by a sweeping popular majority is CONGO
ded even by many intelligent and consery-
alive Democrats. We cheerfully place
the names of the dis suished nominees
at the head of our colLmn, confident that
under their lead the Republican column
will drive back the cohorts of despotism
and injustice, and overwhelm them utterly
and irretricvably next November. n,
