porte county Ind. IN $40, and to Plymouth
Marshall county Indiana, in 1855, where

Father OGLEsBEE, was man of the
strictest integrity, and in his quiet uDob-
trusive way, a man of the most sterling
worth In the community. He was for
near thirty years a worthy member OF the
NJ E. Church, lived an exemplary life,
and when the final hour of trial came, ne
felt that he was fully prepared. In his
death the Church hes lost a faithful men,
Der. and the community an upright and
worthy citizen.

A FALSEHOOD.

The Democrat lately published an
editorial (O made up from some state
ments by MI. James Brooks of the city of
New York. MIR. Brooks declares, and the
Democrat repeats the foolish declaration,
that the $50. 600, 600 reduction of taxation
by the last Congress relieves "ten millions
Of people OF the twelve states of Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi. Kentucky.
North Carolina, Texas. Louisiana and
Virginia only 81, sec, SOL, while the state
of Massachusetts alone, with population
of less than two millions, is relieved in
the sun ofS5, 2l2, ll6." This is NEE n
and shallow attempt TO deceive. The
sets pay the taxes. Those articles are
Purchased throughout the country and
especially in the west The reduction of
taxation was for the benefit of tie west,
and not for the sole benefit of that state
The southern states have been purchasers
rather than sellers for some time. The
reduction of the taxes is TO the advantage
of the purchasers, and the articles manu-
featured IN Massachusetts are to very
great extent purchased by US in the west.
We are the ones greatly benefited by the
reduction of taxes. The Democrats in
opposing the reduction of taxation in the
last Congress opposed the best interests of
purchasers in the west, and now they try
to excuse themselves by trying to deceive
the people by false statements made to
create prejudice against the Republican
party. Away with such hypocracy.
Rebuke it by the ballot.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1870-10-06

WE denounce the rotten clique of
the dominant party in this county, but
not the citizens Of the county gener-
ally. We do not get our living FROM the
Court House ring or the " clique We
think the Republican business men, and
others, understand this poinu, and earnest
ly desire political reformation Of the
county seat and county. The course Of
the Democrat has been one of the great
est curses this place and county has had
to endure-so ssy' vast numbers of the
farmers and property holders The ''slap
in the fee" given the Democrat by the
Democratic Convention at wanatah, was
well deserved, and shows what its own
party abroad thinks of its growing pro-
pensify, and subscribing to a-corrupt and
selfish ring.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1870-10-06

A ccMNUSICATIoS appeared in the last
Democrat. plainly bearing the ear marks
Of a prominent member of the Court
House rirg, lauding the Court House
swindle aud the remarkable economy of
Democratic officials. With regard to the
Court House swfndle, no two members Of
the ling tell the same story. All is a
middle. As to the " clique" the writer
asks. Who are they r. The Democratic
candidate for the Stale Senate is the tail.
The sbyster lawyer is the adviser, and the
great Mogul has long been the Dictator
and " X" who thinks al SO lovely, has
had hand in some time. We think the
people will soon sena the whole group
and their candidates where the wood
bine twineth."

TIE principal bushwhackers in the
Democrat are, the Shyster lawyer, Hor.
ace Corbin--the head aud tan of the
Marshall county Democracy, John C.
Cushman, chief ring master Of the clique,
and author of "X," in last Democrat,
Alexander c. Thompson, who is indebted
othe taxpayers of Marshall county for
all he is worth, and Daniel Mcdonald,
the chief bottle-washer for the clique.
We propose to deal with these men more
fully hereafter.

viii the editors (of'tte Republican,
point out the person or the act, and give
proof to sustain the charge (of corruption
on the part of county officersl?" We
have our honest belief, for very good
reasons, which have often been presented
in this paper. and if the Republicans get
the chance to overhaul things, the ''show-
Ing up will most certainly be made.

The Plymouth Democrat, following
the New York World and Chicago
Times, last week published the malicious
falsehood that Prussia had declared war
against Prussia, and that 100000 troops
are now massed on the Prussian frontier.
The malicious lie was circulated by the
Democratic gold gamblers of New York,
and their organs, to send gold up, depre-
ciate the national bonds held in Germany,
and swindle The honest people of the
country. This shows the patriotism of
the Democratic party, and its sympathy
win the laboring classes.

DAN MCDONALD, Plat Mcdonald, In
Gle Thomas Mcdonald. and all the rest of
the McDonaljs and their relations and
connections want as much of the g public
fodder " as they can get. Years of lying
around the public crib only make them
the more anxious for something addition
al. What have they done TO be so abund-
antly fed?
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1870-10-06

THE Democrats yarn about the state
ment of some Republican about the new
Court House is decidedly silly. The
writer'f for the Democrat probably blabs
all he hears, and good deal more. Don't

The ART OF RETICENCE.-But there is
art-the most consummate art-in ap-
pearing absolutely frank, yet never tell
ing anything which it is not wished
should be known; in being pleasantly
chatty and conversational, yet never
committing ones self to statement or
an opinion which might be used against
one afterward. It Isl only after long
acquaintance with this kind of person
that you find out he has been substan-
TALLY reticent throughout, though appa-
rently 80 frank. Caught by his casy
manner, his genial talk, his ready sym
pathy, you have confided to him not
only all you have of your own, but all
you have Of other peoples; and it is
only long after, when you reflect quietly,
undisturbed by the magnetism of his
presence, that you come to the know
ledge of how reticent he has been in the
midst of this seeming frankness, and
how little reciprocity there has been in
your condolences together. You know
such people for years, and you never
know really more of them at the end
cannot lay your finger on fact that
power; and though you did not notice it
at the time, and don't know how it has
been done now, you feel that they have
never trusted you and have all along
carefully avoided anything like conf
dence. But you are at their mercy by
your own rashness. and II they do not
destroy you, it is because they are reti-
cent for as we'll as towards you; perhaps
because they ere good-natured, perhaps
because they despise you for your frank
ness too much to hurt you; but above
all things, not because they are unable
In manner genial, frank, conversation
al, sympathetic; in substance absolutely
secret, cautious, never off tue guard,
never seduced into dangerous confidence,
as careful for their friends as they nse
Cor themselves, and careful even for
strangers unknown to them-these peo-
pie are the salvation as they are the
charm Of society; never making mis-
chief, aud, by their habitual reticence.
