COlfaX.

It is announced that the Hon. Schuy-
Ter Colfax, vice-president of the United
States, has had the treasury clerks at
Washington at work for some time
making out statements relative to the
public debt and the public expenditures,
said statements to be used during the
campaign for the purpose of showing
up the great financial ability of the Re.
publican party and Grants administra-
ton. When johnson swung around
the circle, the Colfaxites had no words
to express their adherence Of such an
undignifed proceeding; but hat pink
of perfection, Schuyler, can do the
same, and more, and receive the plau-
dts of the Republican party. His fig
ures will be compiled for the purpose of
proving just what he wants them to,
and will be entitled to no more credit
than any statement he might make for
political effect. They are a "put up
job" and when he presents them to the
people, they should consider the object
for which they were compiled, and that
the vice-president Is nj more entitled
to credit than other mortals.

There must be a new bushwhack

There must be a new bushwhacker
contributing to the editorial columns of
the Republican, Judging from the SILT
ness and shallowness of the article in
the last issue of that paper on the Dem
o%cratic resolutions adopted at Wanatah.
To show how little sense or political
discretion there is in the Anticipated
nincompoop who writes for that paper
during the absence Of the editor, it is
only necessary to refer to the fact that
he decries the resolutions because they
do not o sympathy for "Ger-
man unity" while one of the candi-
dates supported by that paper for a
county office. is an open and avowed
sympatiiizer with Napoleon in his efforts
to destroy "Gcrman unity" Bush
whacker had better retire to his country
residence until he learns enough to be
consistent with himself, ever if he can
pot learn anything of principle.

Packard.

The friends Of Gen. Packard are con-
tinually carping about the correctness
of all the positions he assumed in con-
gress, and the manner in which he sup
ported every measure for the reduction
of taxation, and lightning the burthens
of the people. But they are careful not
to refer to his vote against the amend
ment to the internal tax bill to tax the
interest on all United States bonds.
While there is no good reason why the
bonds should not be taxed, there GER
tainly can be none why the interest on
the bonds should not be taxed. Will
some of the champions of the weakest
member of either party in congress"
explain how their vote benefited the
poor mani!

Volume XVI.

This Is the first number OF volume
XVI. The occasion Is a timely n to
have a little chat with our readers on
matters connected with the paper.
The DEMOCRAT has passed through
many v~icissitudes. and We fiatter our
selves that during the volume just
closed it was published with an energy
and a promptness that will compare ia
vorably with former years. Circum-
stances over which it seemed impossible
TO have control, made it necessary for
one of the publishers to devote his en-
tire time, during working hours, to the
business and mechanical departments,
leaving only nights and Sundays for
editorial labor, while the other pub
Usher, being engaged in other pursuits,
was able to devote but little time to cd
itorial duties; but notwithstanding all
this, we do not consider it egotistical to
say that the paper has given better sat
isfaction to its patrons than ever before.
The amount of editorial labor required
upon a newspaper at the present time,
Is so much greater than formerly, that
there are few papers the size of THE
DEMOCRAT but furnish employment
for one mar in the editorial and bust
ness departments, and many of them in
the editorial department alone. We
intend to effect such arrangements in
our business as will enable us to devote
more time to the paper, and shall then
not permit any Newspaper in these parts
TO "throw dust" in our eyes.
While we are doing as well as our
abilities and circumstances will permit,
we request that all who desire to see a
hrst-class paper, in all respects, estab-
lished here, will aid in extending our
circulation, that we may be the better
enabled to increase the usefulness of the
paper. Our friends have been making
a very creditable effort in that dircc-
ton, during the past few weeks; but
that is more with q view to the present
campaign than to any permanent bene-
cit to ourselves. At least one-half the
Democrats in Marshall county ought to
become subscribers-and this is all we
ask, lust now. The more liberal the
patronage bestowed on a paper, the bet.
ter the paper will become for it is an
almost invariable practice with country
publishers to invest their profits in im-
p%rovements of their paper.
We have not yet adopted the advance
pay system, although we are convinced
that we ought to if we would succeed
as We hope to. W. have determined
though, that the long-winded account
business heretofore so fearfully in vogue
with the publishers of papers in this
country, must cease with US. There is
not a man in the county but can pay
for his paper within the year; and he
must do 20 if he takes THE DEMOCRAT.
With this understanding-that our
friends will do ali they can to extend
our circulation, and we will do all we
can TO publish them a good paper-we
sail in for another year, wishing long
Life and prosperity to all.

THE MASONIC CEREMONIES AT
PLYMoUTH.-The imposing ceremonies
of laying the cornerstone of the new
courthouse now in process of erection in
Plymouth, drew together a very large
crowd from the immediate vi
cinity as well as from a distance. The
entire proceedings were characterized
by harmony and good feeling through
out, and everything passed off in the
most pleasant manner There were
large delegations from Chicago, Laporte,
South Bend, Fort Wayne, Warsaw.
Bourbon, Inwood, Tyner City, and all
the surrounding villages. Five splendid
bands of music, one each from Chicago,
Fort Wayne, Warsaw, Bremen ani
Plymouth, made the air alive with the
emusic Of sweet sounds" Two hun
dred Knights Templar, with their rich
and costly trappinSs, gave to the pro-
~cession a decidedly military aspect and
Blue Lodges were present almost with
out nlmber, as were also the Odd Eel
lows Lodge, and Fire department. of
Plymouth. We also noticed in the
procession an organization which we
presume consisted of the mechanics en-
gagged upon the work of erecting the
new building, that carried a splendid
banner, and were gayly decorated with
a silken apron similar in style to that
worn by the masonic fraternity. a
splendid free dinner was given to visit
ing lodges, and other strangers. in the
handsome grove Just west of the town.
where all were beautifully supplied
with all that could be desired for the
refreshment of the inner man. Judge
Osborn, of Laporte had been selected to
make the speech on the occasion, but
for some reason, that we did not learn,
was %unacle to be present. His place
was supplied by Hon. c. II. Reeve, who
delivered an address of which we heard
only one expression. and hat was of
unqualified praise. After the ceremo-
MES were over, the Knights Tcmplar
passed through a review, in front of the
Parker house, and in the evening the
Chicago Band gave a grand concert and
Ball in Balcony Hall, at which a very
large crowd was present. We have
briefly alluded to the proceed ngs of
the day, as, were we to enter into a de-
tailed statement, it would require much
more space than we have room for. The
citizens of Plymouth were certainly en-
titled, and so far as we could discover,
most fully received, the highest com

in which everything was gotten up, and
