TOR REPORTER SUPREME COUET, M. C. KERR, of riojd. Union Republicans. "The leaders of tho Ropublioan party, cit West, sinea John Brown's insurreotfon, have suddenly turned to Iw great Ünion men, eo they profusa; but their real filing will our, and the truth is, they hit the South most intensely, and had they the power, they would obliterate the Southern States and their institutions. T lay that they are a Union party, is perfKUly absurd, for the whole of their capital is made up of sestio 'al fanaticism, nd should they drop their Abolition hobby, they would drop everything, And th; party would become extinct. The only tlutig they present in the shape of principle, is, that Congrces has the power to prohibit slavery in tha Territories of the ITaired States, and they only contend lor 'this bmusc they row have- a majority in that bödy. If tha majority was foi the extension of slavery in the Terriloiica taey would have the same right to establish it that tha presant Congress should, eerding to the Opposition doctrine, now h?t to exclude it from them. The estvc of this is nothing but Abolitionism, at we can tee it, and their dcctiine U foundvi on the mere fact that they now happen to hare the rnajarity in the llous:. Th doctrine held by the fathers of the party in the Eastern States, where it was fcorn, is the doctrine of negro ecj'Jali'y. and if they only dared to, the eamo docIrin wculd adrccated in the Western State i. Every effort is now being made to prepare tho minds of the people of the West for this degrading doctrine, by the circulation of documents advocating it. lUw thty expect to carry out these doc trines and preserve the institutions of all lha States, U more than any reasonable wan can see. Some of Hi(5 prominent men in the party in this county, contend that because the Abolkion States of ihe 2a t permit negroe3 to vote, hold oC.'o aad njoy all the rights of a white man, that they should be allowed the same p;iv. ifea when tbey go into other Stales, where ngro3 not permitted to vote nor hold oßlee. This is the doctrine of one of the gentlemen that was chosen to represent the fcentiment of the Republicans of Marshall county in tho State Convention. If the Opposition party of the County is not Abolition, how do thy like such mn at these to represant them in the State Convention? We leave them to solve this problem if they can, to their own satisfaction. If they are Abolitionists in principle, they need not look further they are in ;he right party, but, if they re ooui.on ,n sentiment, we auu.e t iv i:.!.. . t ittviu iv uccui .u iui ik auouL mem. a nu ii v m .wvuk hi, uu ' thy are really Union wen, as we belir a majority of the masses are, let thm denounce lh eo-called Republican party and ca3t their yofes and influence or fcr ih Constitution and the Union.

Republican Garbling. ! The Republican papers frequently quote

from the LouUvillo Journal, one of the most unscrupulous, as well as the ablegt, of tho Opposition press, to prora the charges of corruption and profligacy which they are constantly making against the Democracy. Tha scathing remarks of Prentice am generally well-timed, and should be published in full, when a part of them are, in order that his full meaning may be conceived by the reader. As a portiou which wo have not yet seen in in any of the Republican printa, we cpy the following from a review in tha Journal, cf Cassiua M. Clay's lata speech at Frankfort, Ky. The specimens we give are but samples of tho whole article: Tho Republican party, however, i3 not only sectional, disorganizing and destructive, but eutirely unnecessary. It is gratuitous affror.t to reason and to patriotism.' The mission of the Republican party ii fulfilled. It has no longer a decent pretext for existing. Disbandment has in viow become a paramount duty. It the maintenance of tho Republican organization cannot ba done without tha most monstrous faciificu of patriotism to parlyism. Those who honestly look for any good to coma of the Republican party are eirreinouslv deceived. Thtre U nothing salutary about it, actually or potentially; it is thoroughly pernicious.' The Reptblican grinders can busy themselves in shaping these ink-drops into 'an able advocacy of Republican principles, and wheu they accomplish the feat, as they undoubtedly can, we can give them more chip from the eame block. The Republicans quote the payings concerning the Democrat), as being nearer their sentiments than anything they might say; and if he raixvs a bitter pill with the sweet, they should swallov it wiih as much gusto n3 the delicious morsels which impart to their tongues such a delicate svrectn3. Anything for Succes. IIoiai'H Gseelv is now taLinir a lour ; through tho Webern State, and seeing that his uhra AbIi;ioiiism will not sueV ceed "out West," he has suddenly taken a hankfeiirtj' af;er Dates, of MLsouii. This U only one of his Botes to allure conservative men that could not be per suaded to jro the ontiie nier.' Success is his motto, and the great desideratum ol the Opposition. If he cannot get all he wants, he will take what he can get and then work for the balance. In this way, he has, within the p.ist ten years, done more to dissc minaie the doctrines of Aboli.ionism than ar.y other ten men in the u,,lon- 1 11,3 ls ,,w MU,ed 1 he5C is no 'ontUiency that is too threat for him 1 I10 ""regard, ami no position he has ever taken but he will adandn: for tho hope of sacci-ss. He is a cunning politician, and j i'äaesies the faculty of making black appear white to a very great extent, but we iMnk he has undertaken a task of this kind that ho will not succeed in, that U, to make a nigpr .appear like a white man. Ilonut men look out foi' hi Bzte. Auulhcr ill u. There has bven another rencounier in . Congress. Mr. Hickman, an Abolition member from Pennsylvania, has for sometime past, been indulging in taunting re maiks in regard to Virginia courage. Mr. Edmunden took occasion to resent this insult in what he thought was a proper manner, ly switching luU blatant Abolitionist and admirer of old John Drown, some jJ;lvs b w,;cn h h d , . : .1 . i i t. I jn thi (.am dl (fniinnu. It Miunnr nun. siderable stir, and will most likely be investigated in iIh House. Whether this was the light way in which to resent such an iusult, we, aro not going to say, but it was certainly a 'very natural way, and the man that will resort to such abuse dues not deserve the courtesy of gentlemen, and 6hould nolle surprised at such treatment. It is not reasonable to fay thai the boundati'?H of a State have anything to do with tl.e courage or pluck ot tlie Citizen of that State, and such ren.aiksare intended for nothing else than insults, and knowing thu. it is hard for men to pas3 them 6mooihly by.

We learn that the measures taken to form a new County out of St. J-seph, Laporte, Starke and Marshall counties, will fail, most likely, as a very large majority of the citizens in the ten itory "f the proponed County, are opposed to it, and have signed ja rcnnitmce to that c&ct,

Embezzlement. Last week, fr want of time to ascertain the real state of facts in relation to tha matter, and hoping that 6ome palliating circumstances or evidence might come to light we did not refer to tha report that Mr. David Vinnede, ex-Treasurer of this County, had embezzled funds belonging to the County, amounting to near three thousand dollars, and now, we regret to say, that the report, fiom all we have been able to gather, was well founded, and that Vinnedge had left, witli probably the intention of not returning, and leaving his bail to foot up, when the discovery was made that there was a deficiency in the taxes from this County, but, his sureties mistrusted, from some cause, that all was not right and on investigation found that he had drawn from tha Treasury at Ft. Wayne the taxes of the Railroad land in this County, which ha had done without an order from the Auditor of this County. Ha was found at Laporte, and his bail made safe, by tie payment of one thousand dollars down, and the remainder in four and six months. List Saturday there was a called session of tho Commissioners and we learn that the matter was satisfactorily arranged. The County will not lose anything, as his bail is good for several times the amount that is back. Wo expect to have occasiou to refer to this again, and otho-s that are trying to make political capital out of the unf utunaie occurrence. We do not sympathize With, nor screen Vinnedg, nor do we think the Democracy of Marshall County is responsible for his conduct, in any debtee.
