Strange to any, all this kind of talk comes from Democratic napen that are anxiom tohaYS an oppoitunity to lick the hand of their oppr&nor by farpporting Gen Haaeall, a bolting Republican, for congress. We have no Sttbitiofl to be looked upon as a meddler, or one who puts his lip in nberc it dots not belong; but with all lue ffj?ecenec to the superior wisdom of those who so curtly advise outsiders to mind their own bnainew, we think a casual gianee at the political situation will convince any unprejudiced mind that the peTiplc of the state uf the hole country are interested in the .

The goslings who weekly inflict their enseless twaddle upon the readers of tc M.arshall Connty SejpmVUem have, after an "neubation of f ur weeks, hatched out a notice of the speech of Hon. Horace Corbin at the Democratic tmjaty convention. With all the ponderous disrnitv and withering deuunciation which a Clay or a Webster could bring to bear on an opponent, they proceed to denounce him at a M shyster," and annihilate him with such sarcasm as they only can employ. The article bears the evidences of severe mental labor, and was doubtless intended to forever deter Democrats from making speeches If the article should fail to aceomplifeh this result, it is sad b think of the many weary honrs wasted by the

goslings during the period of gestation, as well as the time spent in its revision by the professors in Wabash college, to whom it was probably submitted for revision, and for which .-ervice they hare no doubt sent A. Bill to the Republican ofhee. If Mr. Corbin were to notice the goslings at all, it would not be more than to say " Shoo fly!" j i The lying, senseless, personal article in last week's RrjwbHcan, signed '; Elixir," written by Dr. Gould, of Arges, requires but a short answer, as it was written for the purpose of sounding the Doctor's praise, which we care nothing about ilia references t the I editors ofthifl paper .-how him to be a man of so little sense that he imagines be can aid a bad cause by personal allusions to those iu no way connected with it Among the false statements which Dr. Gould's article contains, is the following: When St. Joseph county hal voted, Mr. Erwin, of Bourbon, mores that iherotc of Marshall be east fr Col. Banner, "which was carried. At this juncture the prime mover in the with Irawal matter, who had been denominated Vtaec, aul who hal hoped to be followed by the entire delegation, declared the vote "out of order" as he was the awn to cast the entire vote of the county. The chairman, however, leceived jn'l recognised the vote. This statement, or any other to the effect that Marshal county voted for senator, at the time referred to, has not even the semblance of truth in it. Mr. Thayer and others then and there declared that Marshall county was not voting, the chairman of the delegation, with others, having withdrawn. Marshall county tlitl moi vote. Further along in Iiis article, the Doctor says : "With joint representative the rotation rule should be strictly observed' Will the Doctor please explain why Marshall has the candidate for a joint representative now, having had the same officer two years ? To be Consistent, he mnst. support a man from St, Joseph county, that the rule of rotation may be " strictly observed." The Doctor has an itching for notoriety, and we hope he will obtain it. A letter in the last Plymouth RemmUiemu, in relation to the r-cent senatorial iavention, is perfect tissue of misrepresentations front beginning to en-1, and, although sipiicl "L. It.

We will only refer to one f the charge! made i ri the letter that Judge Kt ort " hashed vp a political dessert to he dished out to the Kepublicans Marshall county.'' We know that the nominees name was f;r?t mentioned in connection with the oficc by others th:in Jielpe Egbert, sad he was inotg the least active in working for his nomination. Su. I jS' ,if Kegttttr. Thus we see that although a strenuous effort was made by the Republican leaders iu St. Joseph, and a few in Marshall county, to keep the people in ignorance of the true state ot affairs at the Wanatah convention, they find it impossible to contain all that in them is and BUSt needs oped tin ir safety valves for the escape of the wrath that is c -n-suuiing them. Speak your minds freely, gentle cn, and you will certainly feel better. At the joint Democratic eoarentioo of Bt. Joseph sad Marshall counties, L. Hubbard, of Sent! Bead, a popular yawag lawyer, was nominated for senator. The eon rent tea then adjourned until Wednesday, July ISth, to meet at Ronth Bend, for the nomination of a joint representative. New A'ai;' Ledjcr. A slight misiikc, friend Ledger. The joint convention referred to was not a Democratic convention, but was on. of the radical kind, where the gag law, so universally brought into requisition win re that party has the power to use it, was used to trample up n the privileges of a part of the convention whose sense of honor would not permit them longer to remain in the eoavt ntion, and from which they retired. The Demo cratie senatorial convention will beheld nt Wsnalsh on the 17th of August, when and wlu-re the next senator will be nominated We cannot but admire the lidelity to principle ol the men, professing to be Democrats, who now propose to support Milo S.

He has heretofore manifestetl his sympathy with the Democrats by supteaaing their joatnmb, and with a cowardiy mob arrostini; their editors.

Kuropcnrt ar, The dcma.id of the French emperor from Prussia was the withdrawal of the candidature of the Hohenxollem prince for the Spanish thr ne, and a gurantec that no similar attempt should be made in the future; and the entire fullfilmnni of the treaty of Prague, involving the liberty of South (Jcrmany; the evacuation of Mayencej the renunciation of military influence beyond tlie Main, and the settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein question with Denmark. The first of these demands was partially Complied with, but in a manner unsatisfactory to the dignity of France, the withdrawal of Leopold being entirely voluntary. Prussia maintaining thai she was in no manner answerabb" for the candidature. The withdrawal of Leopold, however, for a time allayed the excitement, a report

oi an amicable settlement of the question at issue immediately following the action. In the meantime, military preparations for a conflict were commenced by France, and which luve not for a x 1 ?. 1 1 a 1 rn .1 moment oeen inicrmmoci. 10 tnosc well informed this betokened war, and all hope? of a peaceful issue were soon dispelled. Prussia showed no disposition to pocket the insult she fancied she had received, and Napoleon showing a determination to push his demand, if necessary, to the arbitrament of arms, under the plausible pretext that it was necessary to the preservation of the balance of power in Europe. During the alternating hopes, the excitement, not only in France, but throughout the civilized world, was intense, the fluctuations in nil the loading financial markets provine; a reliable barometer of waning chances for peaceful solutions of the complications. Although il had become apparent that a war was inevitable matters were precipitated by the dismissal, after the refusal of an interview by King William, of Benedctt, the French Min ister, from the Prussian Court. The situation remained essentially unchanged until Friday, when the French corps legialatif formally declared war, based on the following causes: First, The insult offered at Ems to Count Benedctti and its approval by the Prussian Government. Second, The re hum of the King of Prussia to compel the withdrawal of Prince Leopold's name as a candidate for the Spanish throne. Third, The fact that the King I rsisted in giving the prince liberty to accept the crown. The declaration continues: "The extra constitutional changes in Piuwia awaken slumbering recollections of 111 Let us cross the Rhine and avenge the öisults of Prussia." The declaration of war, which was ratified by the senate, and which was at once followed by legislation voting unlimited supplies for the prosecution of the war, created the wildest excitement throughout tin empire. France rallying to the support of the emperor. Troops were a! once hurried forward to the frontier, and at the present writing, France lias nearly 300.000 well-armed men in the valley of the Rhine. The naval operations have also been on a commensurate scale a large flotilla of gun b ats being ready for action on tk.Rhine, and an immediate bombardment of the Prussian ports on the Baltic being contemplated. Tn the meantime Prussia has not been idle, and her preparations have been pushed forward with a vigor equal to that of France, her tro rps being sent to the French frontier, and an actual invasion of French territory being well authenticated. However, she has not as yet an equal number of men with France in the field, the troops i 1' the latter b(i::r in Lrrcater readiness for movement. The sentiment, too, in Prussia, and the German feeling throughout the world, is a unit in support of King William. I-eith Germany, the independence of which is included in Napoleon's ultimatum, is unanimous iu its support of Prussia. So far, there is no authenticated report of actual hostilities. Italy is friendly to FYaneo. and has written a letter to the emperor. Spain will be friendly. Prim has written a letter to Napoleon. Rome, the key of the Mediterranean, is under French control. Sweden will remain neutral. Holland declines the offer made v Prussia of an army to defend her frontier. The French army w ill be commanded by the emperor in person.

We were prepared for anything at the hands of eonsress, and hence fell no particular surprise upon ranling the following proceedings : Mr. Bingham, from the judiciary committee, reported a lull to regulate the mode of determining tbc ratincatioa of amendment! to the constitution of the United State. To- Irsi section make.- it the duty of the executive of oaeh täte whose legislature has ratified proposed amendment, to certify forthwith sues ratification to t')e sccretarj of state of the United States. The Second section makes it unlawful for any state officer to certify thereafter any repeal of sues ratiacatica, unless an amend ment for i t h repeal shall bars first loa n proposed iy congress, and directs the secretary of stats not to make any record thereof. The third section prescribes the peaalti far attemptiag tbs repeal of such ratification1. y state authority, SS imprisoniuent for from OSS vear to tn years and a fine of from $2,000 to $10,ooo. Mr. Cos objected ea the grounds thit the aadesstandiag sjss thai when the judiciary committee had daj assigned t business, ao political natter shosW SS reported. Mr. Enagbaai dsaied that there had been any such aaderstanding. Mr. Ribisel moved to lahJs the bill. Kegativsd iv K to I20j Mr. Uinham moved to ,-u- pcnd the ride-; and pass the hill. Mr Woodward ashed tobe allowed fire jiiinut' d to express his opposition. Me. Kid rfdge declared that lasts never wan. a more iafsfUSl proposition thai Ihil bill. Mr. MsHssdy moved to adjourn. Negatived. The rules were iaspsdsdj and the bill nassed by 128 to 66. The provisions of this bill arf remarkable principally for two tilings: First, it prescribes how the people, through their representatives, shall do certain thinvBj and second, ü provide.; an extraordinary penalty for any man or number oi' mt n who, if they have found themselves in theWTong, shall dare attempt to rectify the mistake. It iathe revivification of the Medo-Persisn c le, that anything once d ne shall asvsf again be changed. It j- rhe ! to. cratie the r rf i

emment that what the people have a riedit to do. they have : right to undo, whenever they find that they have adopted a mistaken policy liut thi.right is to be taken sway by the second

anU tnira sections Of t&IS bill, and to even aicempi io repeal a uau, or a nasty or on ill-advised amendment to the constitution, is made a crime of extraordinary magnitude, and is to bo visited with extraordinary punishments. The third section prescribes that the penalty for attempting the repeal of such ratifications by state authority shall be imprisonment for from one year to ten year, and a fine from $2,000 to $10,000. We know of only one law similar to f ins, that was ever enacted, and that is 1 M A . I J ' recorded in the book of Daniel, and w hich finally culminated in the prophet being cast into the lions' den. Jut as he escaped the fines and talons of the lions, so, we opine, will the American people escape fine and imprisonment at the hands of a radical congress, for voting cither at the polls or in a legislative body for the repeal of an obnoxious provision in the Federal constitution If some new-fancied Radical amendment to the constitution is so sacred that a man is to be heavily fined and incarcerated in a dungeon for asking that it be rescinded, what earthly punishment is great enough to be visited upon the Radical leaders who have trampled upon the sacred provisions of the original instrument itself? But the studied and unblushing vil bony of the whole proceeding must challenge every man's attention When Mr. Woodward asked for only five minutes to state his objections to the bill, he was choked off, and a measure that is pregnant with the most comprehensive evil, and which, if carried out, will destroy everyvestigc offrce institutions, was put through the house under whip and spur, as though the radical lenders were anxious to ride the country to the devil at the earliest possible moment. There can hardly be a doubt but that the senate will follow the steps of the house, and pass the infamous measure, which by the sanction of the president, will become a law of the land. The two bodies act together only too harmoniously on every measure that is calculated to abridge the rights of the people and enhance the pow ers of the eentral government. Put this, and similar enactments already proposed, or which will shortly be proposed, into operation. and jou had as well abolish state lines. disband state legislstores, jrive up every constitutional guaranty, and surrender at discretion to a central despotism. It is a measure worthy the man who proposed it With the ghost of a murdered woman haunting his footsteps. why should be not apply the knife to the throat of liberty, while his backers and accomplices howl down the powerless minority of the house, who, like a forlorn hope, have never yet recoiled from the fearful odds of the enemy. Less than a score of rears ago no one would luve supposed that such villain0US treason agaifiSt the rights and liberties of the people would have been plotted nay, practically consummated in congress, but we h ive fallen upon evil times, and it devolves upon the people to wafch patiently and vigilantly for the hour when it is possible to drive greedy ambition and unblushing treason from the highest places in the land. jPUftJUmrg Pott. WmiHfotJttuuj, ol Eüfpg If the present effervescent state of affairs in Kuropc should result in war. Prance and Prussia would be the giants in the conflict. The military forces they could bring into the lield are miuply enormous, franco 414,632 soldiers oa the peace footing, a field army of 041 ,271 men, or 1,350,000 as her war strength. Of these, 370,000 tro ready for instant service. Austria, which is looked upon as tho ally of Franco, 27. 17o" men on the peace establishment, 838,700 of war strength, with 300,000 ready to ne ve. The South German Confederation, which may become the ally of France, have 1 v 1,406 soldiers on the war footing, of which 107,000 are prepared for instant service. In such a coalition France could wield about 770.000 fighting men. with a reserve of 1,506,106 trained soldiers. Prussuia has 726,000 men on the peace, or 1,266,000 on the war footing, with 300,000 ready for immediate operations. -North tier many, which would naturally g with Prussia, has ill"). f)v men on the peace footil p, 551,993 on the field, or 94 l.o21 on the war footing, of which 546,000 are ready to march. This would give to Prussia 846,000 men for instant service, and 1 ,364,321 in reserve. Such are tho force-- which would in all probability, be brought against each other. Should Italy and Kussis be drawn into the contest, nearly another million might be added to the above figures. Prom lac Lapoitj signs, ffiwptataisilni'j' In our issae of M.iy 10th we wrote ai follows: "C. II. Reer terau to bare gone over to the enemy. Ptiemtt information tells us that he is now acting in fall accord with the opponent ot the rtmniar fitmacratie orfa nidation at Plymouth. " The ital cs were not ia tho issue shore named, and we now italicise only mr the purpose Of showing Just what our statement was, and the rsssoni wo bad for making it. We heard, from the lips of Republicans of Marshal county, that Mr. Keevc was assisting them in their opposition to the DoMOrsey, and that if they did not now consider him iti perfect aeesrd with them, they had no doubt that he would be so by the time the Campaign fairly opened. Added to this, we had the testimony ol numberof iatelligoal and reliable Dessoorati to tho effect that the Pamocrasy geaorallj cones li i that tlds Mr. hoeve had left their rganltatlon. They pointed to his tonnest I sb with their opponents nt a recent corpora nam aloctk n ; t ins lettei-H to the t Im. uo fVsMS, wherein he openly advocated the abaadonaioal of the Peaaocratis parts sad urged tho formation of a new orgaaisatioa, le l.

Thii testimony tessacd sjnrle, and we felt u irranted in making the Htrteinrnt that be " SSSSsd to h?e pnne over to the enemy." AVe remembered havlagcaret i hie let t srs i the Chieage IVSiw and m led tho net thnt lie asked others to absndon the Demoeratio party; it Boomed asweasonablc to expect that a man of Mr. Reeve'a sohnowledsjod talent would ask other" to taken d p that he was lud ready to take or 1m l act already taken. Hut a letter recently reroi red from Mr. Heevc infolYas an tliut we hao done him injustice in our statement "that he had left the Pern oeretle party sad Keewe s member "f the

opposition." We desire to give him the benefit of his denial, with the material points which he stakes, and such extracts from bis letteras will do him justice, and be of interest to our readers. To enable

them to understand his position we will state 1st That lie bai been a Democrat from 1888 oa ward, being at that time sathttsiastically in favor of Andrew Jackson, and having bet all bis spare change on his election. 2d. That if wc could get into power wc could not administer the government oft Democratic principles. Then he asks: "What can we do bc;t and most consistently V In reply he proposes that all "in favor of progress, reform, the maintenance of civil liberty, the protection of persons and property, a just tariff, equal taxation as far as possible, a repeal of the 1 anking law, and no paper money except such as is issued by the government, a complete revision of tbc civil service system, and the dismissal Of the Sllty thousand useless officer nowfastening like parasites on the public money, a redemption of one thousand million of bonds frith treasury notes and giving us circulation on which to do the ordinary Im siness of the country, and reform in every department having control of the fund.", the restoration of our shipping to its supremacy in the interest of commerce, and the removal of the outrageous protection to a few monopolies, thus relieving the laboring and producing classes from burthens they cannot longer bear," shall go into the new American Party.'' Further, he proposes to put all the opponents of these doctrines and policies into another new party which he proposes to n;uue the " Anti-American" party. Then he gives two reasons for this course. 1st, His reverence for the old name Democrat, "it la venerable and associated with all that is great in the past. There leave it. Dun't disgrace it by letting him who wears it rit "cheek by Jowl" with a nigger in the. jury box, or the senate chamber, on the wool sack,'' and 2d, "Whether we will or no, the country will divide into t wo great parties soon, or in!o man- small ones hereafter." Mr. Reeve is a stranger to us personally and while we desire to do him justice, we do not propose to be forced into an argument as to why the grand old Democratic party should not in this year of grace, commit an act tfdrn sir se. It is enough to say that we are just entering into a campaign which bids fair to bring success to our party; SUT organisation is united and harmonious : honest people are looking to us- to redeem the country frm the ruloaous rule of ra 1 icalism. To abandon our organization in the very face of a reeklesa and desperate foe would be recreant t( the Interests of the toiling masses, and to permit the advocacy of such a policy In our column s is more than we can grant.

The wife desertion mentioned in last vreok'a items was the theme of conversation n all bands for some time, and the general opinion seems to he thst Mrs. Carey, who lias lecn left ly :i recreant huscand, to go it alone, is better -fi' in her present condition, than sue would be if compelled to live with Buch a man as her late husband. The woman who accompanied him as far as Chicago, returned the next day. and has been engaged most of the week in belling the household furniture in her possession, and apt until Satur day, when her husband returned and j took a survey of the situation and took possession of what goods remained, did the fracas linaliy terminate. A domestic seene ensued, mi 1 the enrtsin fell on another divided household. Such is life. On Friday a case of ass ault and bat tery was brought from Etna Green, and tried before Esquire Clcss. Some time ago a man and his wife by the name of Elindman becoming tired of each other, applied to the courts, and the gordisn knot was Revered. The decree of the court gave one of the children a boy to the father. One day hut week the mother took the hoy, and the assistance of Wm Bowman, of Etna Green, was procured by the father to enable him to regain nossesaion of the hoy. In tho operation. William, as was alleged, laid violent hands on the woman, for which ungajlsnt to t she bad him arrested for assault and battery. Aide counsel was employed l n either side, and after a day's hearing of the evidence and ramming up by the attar nova the case was turned over to the jury. The jury hum; all night, and failing to agree were dismissed at 7 o craek on Saturday morning. A oompromiss was finally effected, and so the matter ended. On Saturday afternoon a man living near Tippecanoetown was arrested on charge of having eoiiimitted a rape on the person of hi- si-tor in law QBC week ap last Saturday night. A preliminary examination waa nad before Justice Cless, but the evidence was not deemed sufficient to bind him over for trial, and he was accordingly released.
