pose the states to loss of their super

to control and carry them. In Eng
land, the soldiers dare not approach the
places of voting. 1t is forbidden by
law. | believe it is allowed in France
But III France the vote of the people,
as given under the executive control, is
but the echo of the Emperor's will.
Now, is there any one Of you 50 joined

it will sound like the clods falling on

all this day resolve that the vile act
shall be wiped from the statute book
This dangerous and wicked measure is

sympathy for the proud son of labor,
whose heart was breaking under the
hard nee 'ssity of sacrificing his man

strength to the ticket He will make

unsought by him; and, in fact, it

Report OF Proceedings.

The Democrats of Marshall county
assembled in delegate convention at
Plymouth, on Saturday, June 18th,
1870. at 100 p. N.
On motion of D. E. VanValken-
burgh, Hon. Horace Corbin was chosen
chairman OF the convention.
The courtroom being entirely too
small for the business Of the conven-
ton, an adjournment was made to the
ground east of the courthouse.
After calling the convention to order
the chairman spoke in substance as fol-
lows:
GENTLEMEN OF TIE CONVENTION
For the honor of being called upon to
preside over this, the largest and most
enthusiastic convention of respectable
and intelligent voters ever assembled in
Marshall county, accept my thanks.
You have given evidence by your pres
ence here to-day, and by the success OF
your township conventions held one
week ago, that the Democratic party is
not dead, as has been falsely charged by
open foes without, andsneaking enemies
within, its organization. You have
come from your farms, your workshops
and YOUR places OF business. to partiei
pate in the nomination OF a ticket to be
voted for by the people at the approach
inc election. This has been the Gus.
tom Of the party for nearly hundred
years; and instead of going off after
strange doctrines and new party organi.
cations. you have demonstrated increased
love and generation for the usages and
practices of the party to which you all
no doubt consider it a pleasure and an
honor to belong. In making your nom
nations you will no doubt be guided by
a desire to select good and true men. as
by SO, doing you will best subserve the
interests of the party and the people Of
the county. This is the first general
convention assembled in the county
since the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment; and it remains for YOU,
by your acts here to day, to Ay wheth-
er you Will permit party guilty of such
an iniquity as the one which foisted that
amendment upon the people, to rale
over you by forcing their odious doe
trlne OF negro equality upon you who
dctest it. Let your action in the cam
paign upon which we are now entering
indicate your love for the principles of
the Democratic party, and of your de
| termination to cease not your efforts
until victory perches upon your banner.
The canvass for the nominations t. be
made here today has been vigorous and
spirited, although conducted with less
personal feeling than has been generally
supposed that it would be. Let this
spirit continue to guide your action to
day, and throughout the canvass. Let
your action here today disappoint such
of our opponents as expect there will
be disagreement among us. There is
no cause for disagreement, and / know
there will be none. While our oppa-
nen's are divided an eontending among
themselves over in the 10th district and
other places where they are in power,
let us act tremendously ard unitedly in
support of the cause for which we arc
working. The falsehocd has been cir

The Fort Wayne Democrat publish
es the following case of warning to
husbands:
"A careless husband ono day last
week, returned sooner than he had
promised, which was one very indiscrect
thing fer him to do Another very
impolite proceeding was getting into
his house and going 10 his wife's bed
room before daylight in the morning,
lust for surprise" The surprise
was mutual, for she declined to open
the door until she could dress. The
air being damp and chilly, and his
hearing whispers inside, caused him to
put his foot against the door, and force
an entrance, just in time to see a half
dressed man jump from the second
story winoow He coolly turned to
his wife and told her "she had better
go home to her parents, as he had con-
cluded to break up housekeeping
She went. We hear there is to be an
auction Of household goods in the west
end shortly. That's what comes Of
husbands coming home at such unrca
sonable hours Its very impolitc, and,
besides, it is liable to put somebody to
deal of trouble.
The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1870-06-23
The Black Man North and
South.

The ST. Louis Republican puts the
question of the status of the negro in
this shape: 1t is not the least curious
incident of the very curious policy that
has presented us with an enforcement
bill TO guarantee his rights to the color.
ed man, that the colorcd man already
enjoys more rights is that region where
he is supposed to have most friends.
The proclaimed object of the bill refer
red to is 10 Protect the negro of the
south in all his constitutional rights,
and secure to him complete political
coequaiity with the whites. Yet there
are hundreds OF negroes in office in the
south, at this time, and scarcely one in
office at the north. Nearly half the
seats in the legislatures Of South Caro-
lima, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, and Texas, are filled
with negroes; nearly all the profitable
municipal Offices in New Orleans are
held by negroes negro is one Of the
supreme judges of South Carolina the
only negro cadets proposed for West
Point are from the south and, to cover
all, negro senat from Mississippi sits
in the United States senate as proof
of emlnence which his race may rise to
in the southern states. Nothing like
this is to be seen in the north. No
negroes are to be found in the northern
legislatures no negro sits III the police
board, or school board of northern
city; no learned negro iurist sits on the
bench OF northern court : no negro is
a candidate for congress in n northern
district. All these immunitics are de-
MED to the black man in the north. and
all them easily enjoyed by him in the
south Is it not singular, then. that
Senator Carpenter of Wisconsin should
support the enforcement bill for the
purpose of compelling the cruel devils
Of the south to do justice to the colored
nan p When Wise rs shall elect
colored senator in place of Mr. Carpen-
ter. and score OF col red men shall st
in the legislature Of each of the New
ENGLAND states, then. an. not till then.
Will the black man be as well treated in
those radical regions, as he is now
treated in the rebel staoes of tue south
