lM)iM I)L'in('RT!r i'LATFORM. Wherkas, The Democratic party having, from the date of its organization, been in favor of the maintenance of the Union und the preservation of the Constitution, and seeing iu the present condition of the country the deplorable ctVects of a departure from its time honored and conservative piiuc"p!es, and the triumph of sectiona'isp-; and firmly believing that the Union and the Constitu t'on can be preserved alone by the restoration of that party to power, we invite all the Union men throughout the land to unite with us in sustaining it organ' z it'on and carrying out its principles. Therefore, nrsnfrrJ. 1. Tint we reaffirm and endorse the political pi inc'pks that from time to time have I.een put forth hy the National Conventions of the Democratic r:ir,7' 2 That wc are unalterably attached to the Constitution, by which the Union of these States was formed and established : aivl that a faithful observance of its principles can alone continue the existence of the Ui.lon, and the permanent happiness of the people. 3. That the present civil war ha mainly resulted fiom the long continued, unwise, and fanatical agitation, in the North, of the riestloo of domestic slavery, the consequent organization of a ' to 'rapliicf.l parry, gu'dedhy the sectionol piatfonnsTailoptcd at I,:;Va!o,ritt-lMtrgh,T!iilade,phia, and Chicago, and the development thereby of sectional lute and jealouv, prodweing (as had long been foreseen and predicted by ns) its counterpart in tiie Soutli of secession, disunion, and armed resistance to the tleneral (government, and terminating in a bloody strife between those who should have been forever bound together hy fraternal bonds, thus bringing upon the whole country a calamity which we are now to meet as loyal citizens, striving for the adoption of that mode of settlement best calculated to again restore union and harmony. I. That in rejecting all proposition likely to result in a satisfactory adjustment of the matters in dispute between the North and the South, and especially thoe measui es which would have secured the border slave States to the Union, and a harty co-operation on their part in all const:tutional and legal measures to procure a return of the more Southern States to their allegiance, the Republican party assumed a fearful responsibility, and acted in total disregaid of the best interests of the whole country. - rri . i .i - ... 1. . i v .1 .. inai Ii tue party iu power nan snown me same desire to settle, by amicable adjustment, our internal dissensions before hosiiüties had actually commenced, that the Administration has recently xhibited to avoid a war with our ancient enemy, Great Britain, we confidently believe that peace ond harmony would now reign throughout all our borders. (. That the maintenance of the Union upon the principle of the Federal Constitution should be the controlling object of all who profess loyalty to the Government and in our judgment this purpose can only be accomplished, by the ascendency of a Union partv in the Southern States, which shall, by a counter revolution, displace those who control and direci the present rebellion. That no effort to create or sustain such a party can be suc cssful which is not based upon a definite set tlcmcnt of the questions at issue between the two sections; and we therefore demand that some such settlement be made by additional ronstitutionol jruaranty, either initiated by act of Congress or through the medium of a National Convention. 7. That the Republican party has fully demonstrated its inability to conduct the Government through its present diüien'tie. 8. That w are utterly opposed to the twin heresies, Noithern sectionalism and Southern seeession, as inimical to the Constitution: and that freemen, ns they value the boon of civil liberty ami the peace of the country, should frown indignantly upon them. 9. " That in this national emergency the Dem-x"-racy of Indiana, banishing all feeling of passion and resentment, will recollect only their duty to the whole country; that this war s-hould not be waged in the spirit ot conquest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or institrtions of the States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality ai.d lights of the several StaU-s ctiimpaired; and that as soon as these object are accomplished the war ouiht to cease. 1'). That we will sustain, with all our energies, a war fir the maintenance of the Constution. nvA of the integrity of the Union nWt Cuitsttutiun but wear" opposed to a var f.ir the emancipation of the negroes, or the subjugation of the Southern States. 11. That the purposes avowed and advocated by the Northern disunionists, to liberate :uid arm the negro slave-, is a disgrace to the age. calculated to retard the suppression of the rebeiliun and iae ts our unq.ialigcd condemnation. 12. That the total disregeid of the writ of hiInns C(ir;nis by the authorities over us, and the f-i.ure and imprisonment of the citizens of loval States where the judiciary is in full operation, without warrantor law and without assigning anv cause or giving to the party arrested any opportunity of defense, are ilagnmt liolat'on of the Constitution and most alai ming acts of usurpation of power, which f-hould receive the stern rebuke of every lover of his country and of every man who prizes the security and blessing3 ot life, liberty and property. 111. That the liberty of speech and of the press are guaranteed to the people by the Constitution, and none but a usurper would deprive them of these rights ; they are inestimable to the citien and f rmid able to tyrant only. And the attempt which have been xaade since our present unfortunate troubles, to muzzle the press and stille free discussion, arc oxcrcii-es of despotic power ii'ain--.t which lreedom revolts nnd which can not be tolerated without converting freemen into slave I I. That the seizure of Maou and Slidell ,on board a neutral vessel, on the high seas, was cither in accordance with international law, nnd so legal; or else in violation of such law, and so illegal . If the former, we lament that our nation has been humiliated by their surrender, undtr a thrtot ; if the latter, it was the duty of the Administration at once to have disavowed the act of their officer, and instead of incarcerating the captives in Fort War...... to have immediately repaired the wrong by placing them, a.' far as practicable, in the same condition in which that officer found them. In either event, the action of the Administration was vacillating and cowardly and degrading to the dignity of a great nation. 1". That the action of the Republican party, as manifested in the partisan character of all apoiiitrncnts of the Administration to ciril office ; and, in holding party caucusse hy the Republican members of Congress for the purpose of impressing upon the legislative action ofthat body the peculiar dogmas of that party, have demonstrated that their professions of ".sacrificing party plat fornix, and partv organizations, noon the altar of their cour.!-y," are but xt Many iiypoci itical and false pretenses by which they hope to dupe the unwaiv into their support ;and we warn all loyal peisoas they iovo their country, not to be decci ;1 thereby. IG, That the disclo urea made by the investigating committee in ( .ongres. of the cnormou frauds that hac talked into the nrmy and navy departments, implicating the heads of those departments in a contrivance at, if not an actual participation in a Kvstcm of corruption, and in which our brave soldiers have been defrauded of their proper supplies, and our Government, threat ened with bank rupey, demands a thorough investigation into all our expenditures, both State and National, and that a speedy and rnaiked ox aw pie b'i made of all such "birds of prey," who, taking advantage of the neccscity of our country, have fed and fattened upon public plunder. 17. Tht the meritorious conduct of the Indiana troops, in every battlefield where victory ha perched iqw.ii the national bai.m r, has filled the people of this State with the highest gratitude to her gallant son, and that we send our best wished to oir.ccra and men, dispersed throughout the country, and the heartfelt greeting of every Demotrat for their further brilliant achievnients in the coming contests for the laaiutcuauct) ol tho Constitution and tho Uiiiou

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA, THUKSDAY,

Joseph A V.ril:t. The meeting on Friday last at this place to hear ex-Gov. Wright was tolerably well attended. Wo were present and jotted down tlio principal points in Lis speech for tho benefit of our readers. He commenced by eayiui that ho came to sneak for no one but himself; should abuse no person or party; was opposed to all parties and party creeds and platforms; that the way Jefi". Davis procured so largo an army was by subsidizing tho Press, and allowing no man to abuso his government, or bo a candidate for ofRca if opposed to him or the Confederate Government, and that we would do well to imitate him in theso particulars; that any rnau who would organize a political party now while the var lasts i3 an enemy to his country: pitched into tho Gth of January and 30th of July conventions, abused Democrats generally, not forgeting to pay his respects by the way to us and our paper, bringing to bear-all his powers of sarcasm and ridicule to meet issues which he was unable to answer with argument. Wo call the attention of our readers particularly to his proposition to imitate the tyranical course of Jeff. Davi3, and also the following re marks made by "Pious Josey" in the course of his speech on Frfday afternoon. He said that "if you want to put down this rebellion, you must strike whero it hurls them tho worst anil will do us ihe most good; strike tho rebels whero you can accomplish most, dont leave a disloyal nlan behind our armies, but strike, kill, destroy every southern ma.i who wont take a gun, or leavo and go further South. If any of you have tears to shed for tho families of rebels go and shed them, J have hone to shed for them.' ' It would bo difficult to concievo of any thing more utterly liondih than tho spirit manifested by him when he made the fcreiroinir remarks. That rebels in arms should bo punished is n proposition about which there is no dispute, but what man this side of bedlam, with a ßpark of humanity in his bosom could thu3 coolly propose the wanton destruction of non-resisting men, and helpless women and children; Kx-Govenor Joseph A.Wright, wiih murder, rapine, and desolation, would visit the innocont and defenceless families of his enemies becauso forsooth, that would 'strike them whero it hurts them most.' Such is the policy to bo pursued in the conduct of tho war bv those to whose embraces Gov' Wright has completely yielded himself. lie said ho was for emancipation and colonization, confiscation and arming the negroes; that any man who finds fault with tho tax bill ot tries to prejudice the people against it or tho public debt incurred by tho folly rascality, and extravagance of the present administration, ij an enemy to his countiy; that any man who llnds fiult with the manner in which tho war is conducted is also an euemy to his country and ought to bo hung up by tho neck till dead. How are tho mighty fallen! To what furthur depths of degradation does ho and his polit'cal associates proposo to descend in order to retain their hold upon place and power? Just think ot it fellow citizens, you to whom the ihackles of tho tyrant and tho chains of tin usurper have hitherto been strangers, you freo men of this onte mighty land, now haken with the convulsive throes of strangled liberty, think of the banquet to which you are invited by this squawking cormoant iu tho iinmo of freedom. If you complain that your servants aro robbing and plundering you, that they are misusing your money, that they aro over-burdening you with taxes to carry on their own ambitious schemes; if you even protest against an enormous debt as being prejudicial to your interests, in a word, if you interfere at all with their mad schemes, tho consumation of which will bring ruin, utter irrevocable ruin to yourself and children you aro coolly denounced as an enemy to your country and informed that you ought to be hung up by thu neck. To just such men r.s he, is tho world indebted for all of tyranny nnd oppression, that ever existed. Ho and such as he would clotho tho hideous spectre of Military Despotism in tho ßacred garb of freedom, and in imperious tones command its worship on bended knto under the pains and penalties familiar to tho Spanish inquisition. Yes such wero tho tonos of the thunder sent forth on Friday last by Joseph A. Wright, which iu its reverberations found tneu bo utterly lost to all sous) of maoly bearing as to applaud tho echo of tho tyrants voico, and weakly kneel at tho phantom ehrino thus placed before them. Wo humbly pray God that thero may not bo enough such to fasten tho yoko of despotism permanently upon our distracted and bleeding country. Do you want to pay tho taxes of Eastern Merchant Princoe? If so, voto for Schuylor CoU&X,

Coiwrvalivo. Do you profess to be a eon-ervative Republican, Opposed to waging war for tho solo benefit of tho slaves in tho South, Opposed to the needless de fiance of Constitutional Law, Opposed to th j stupendous swindles of Simon Cameron, who has taken millions from your hard turnings and placed them in tho packets of swindling contractors, Aro you oppcs.d to tin; present system of National Taxation that imposes the burdens of the war upon tho West and enriches the Eaat, Opposed to apilu placing Fremont iu nn important comm and whero ho cinv nTain squander your money and disgrace your army, Are you opposed to having General McClellan superseded by a man that possesses no merit hut his abolitionism? If you are really opposed to theso things, arc in earnest in your opposition, vote against Selm vier Colfax, he favors them all, and if re-cLcte l to Congress, w ill advocate such projects and doctrines. Vote against Dr. Sherman nnd James 0. Parks, if'clectel they will vote for, Jo. Wright, for U. S. Senator w ho favors arming all tho negroes in the South, and call you a traitor if you question tho propriety of the action of any man in authority, and savs men finding fault with the manner in which tho war is conducted should be hung. It you ate honest iu your opposition to these mcasincs, throw aside your party prejudice, assume the character of a patriot and vote to preserve your rights and liberties, and to do justice to your neighbois.

OCTOBEK 9t 1862.

The liiircrcncc. The abolition i'arty and conservative Republican Party are two things, and have two tickets. The abolition party support Colfax, Chandler, Blair of Mich., and men of like ilk who are fellow-conspirators in robbing the people of their rights and liberties; and in impoverishing the whites to make slaves more miserable than they are, to place nergroe9 on a perfect equality with whites. To peiid tho lives of two hundred thousand patriots, who enlisted to save the country, in an abolition scheme of emancipation. The abolition wiüg support tho taxation of tho West to em ich the Eat, and with the sweat of hard-fisted fa fine is, grease tho wheels of Eastern manulacturics; the success of their ticket w ill impose upon tho Western men a tax of one hundred dollars to every man, woman and child, to carry out their proposed plan of purchasing th-j slaves of the loyal States, and coiunizing the negroes of the slave States. The conservative Republicans support the ticket that favors the conducting of the war for the purpose of restoring the Union; preserving the Constitution, taxing the East and West equally, and giving to every man the rights guaranteed him by Law. That will enforce strict economy and let slavery take care of itself both in seceded and Border States. The leaders of the former Republican party having gone over to the abolition wing, the conservatives have no other organization than the Democracy to lly to for safely ,and then they find men working for tha cause all patriots love, and hand iu hand they will make a war upon abolitioninsm that shall rid our distracted country ol the traitors. Next Tuesday we will mskc a long, strong and steady pull, for the Government and cur liberties. The President's emancipation proclamation has not been so mercilessly ridiculed by any body since) its issue as it was by tho Presideut himself one short w eek before its issue. Said he to the clerical committee of the abolition fanatics of this city: 'What good would a proclamation of emancipatioii from me do, especially as we are now situated? I do not want to issue a document that the whole w orld will see must necessarily be inoperative', like the Pope's bull against the comet! Would my word free the slaves, when I cannot even enforce the constitution in the rebel States? Is there a single court, or magistrate, or individual that would be inlluenced by it there? And what reason is there to think it would have any greater effect upon the slaves than the law of Con. gross, which I approved, ami which oilers protection and freedom to the slaves of rebels masters who come within our lines? Yet I cannot leakn that the law has CAUSED A SINGLE SLAVE TO COME OVEH TO US, "And suppose they could be induced by a preielamation of fieedora to come over to to us, what would we do with them? How can we feed and care for such a multitude? tieueral Butler wrote me, a few days since, that he was issuing more rations to the slaves who havo rushed to him; than U all the white troops under his command." A little while anterior to this interview with the clerical committee, a couple of other abolition fanatics of this city found their way to the President and pressed upon him the emancipation scheme, and this was hi ; reply: "You remember the slave who asked Iiis master if 1 should call a sheep's tail a leg how many legs would it have? 'Five' 'No, only four, for my calling the tail a leg would not make it so.' Now gentlemen, if I say to tho slaves, 'you are free,' then will be no more free than at present.' Ami it was with these opinions of the proclamation that the Piesident has iss ed it! Chicago Times. A TAX of nearly one hundred dollars upon every man, woman and child in the free States, ior the purchase of the negro slaves of tho Border States, will not be the end of the taxation on account of negroes, by any means.-. When these negroes shall be purchased, hundreds of thousands of them, as well as hundreds of thousands of others front the rebel States, will rush inlo the free State's, immense numbers of whom will have to be supported in poor houses and penitentiaries, and other immense numbers of whom will compete with and reduce the prieo of white labor, thus imjH)sing taxation, direct and indirect, by the side of which the original tax for the pur. chase of the Border State negroes will be insignificant. Democrats, if you do your duty next Tuesday, you can purgo tho next Congress of an ultra abolitionist, redeem Marshall County from abolition misrule and strike a telling blow for your liberties. Rally, then, to tho polls! Preserve your liberties!

Intolekance. What elective or appointing power has constituted the radical Republicans; abolitionists; judges of the language proper to bo used by their fed'ow citizens, when speaking of the misrule and dishonesty of the present abolition administration? Who hasconstituted a half-dozen vindictive abolitionists, in this towr, censors of speech, from whom we must inquire what we may say in opposition to niggerism, at the rik of being reported traitors? Who favors tho petty tyranny that would degrade tho American people so low as to submit tamely to what an African slave would rebel against? Who favors the entire abrogation of all Civil Law, and the substitution of Military Commissioners? Who favors emancipation, colonization, needlesg taxation, (with which to en rich pampered Government pets,) and tho despotic suspension of the writ of hulcas corpus.' All who do, can vote their sentiments next Tuesday, by supporting Colfax, Sherman, Parks and tho rest of the Republican nominees.

For the Democrat. Tlic Ieiei ation of Alolilionils and &tiu'UIc E)c:jiorr:K. Mr. Editor'. Never in the histcry of our country has the opposition to the old Democratic parly resorted to euch desperate and unprincipled measures or eflbrtB as are now beinir made to retain the ru!inj power in the bauds of the dominant party. They are calling to their aid any and everything that is calculated to deceive the honest people of our distressed country, for the purpose of completing tho ruin of the nation. They have hired every corrupt and unprincipled demagogue that has been kicked out of tho Democratic party on account of their treachery or mcompe'.ency; they cry Union and no party for the purpose of attracting the attention of patriots and honest men, and then heap upon the Democratic party all the epithets their fiendish ingenuity can invent: they pay renegade and corrupt Democrats foi traversing tho loyal stales from one end to the other, to give the lie to all their previous actions and protestations of principle; they advertiso their Abolition n;eetinr3 as Democratic rralherings; call their lortyht tools 'Old Demoie War horses' and 'old Democratic Thunderers,' for the purpose of deceiving honest Democrats, thev resort to villification and falsification concerning Democratic candidates. Since the opening of the present campaign, there have two of theso recently purchased Democratic demagogues addressed tne people of this County, on the issues before the people. The first wa3 tho old insane fanatic, C. W. Cathtart, who camo to this place to fill one of Schuyler Colfax's appointments, and right well ho did it. He claimed to be a Democrat, but spent his entire time and strength in abusing the Democratic party. He is just as gcod a Democrat as Gov. Morton, I. Mattiugly, Dr. Sherman, James O. Parks and Bill Shirley, and not a particlo better, but tho poor old tool ought not to be held to account for all his apparent dishonesty and corruption inasmuch 09 bo has been running aftei the 'spirita' until he has lost all tho good sense ho ever possessed. Tho next on the programmo is 'Pious Old Josey,' that o'd demagogue and unprincipled tool who has sold himself, soul and body, to tho cause of abolitionism, and is now stumping tho State for tho entire Abolition ticket; who is more radical, if possible, than Colfax; w ho said ho was for destroylny the entire Southern Stales, including, of course, innocent women and children, 'Pious Old Josey' said he had "no tears to shed for the families of the South," who would be made to suffer destitution, starvation and even d ath on account of tho war. The man who will utter a sentiment like tho abovo is simply inhuman, and ought to be frowned down by ovcry decent assemblage or audience ho obtains under false pretenses, if not egged otr tho stand. A being that has no tears to shed lor helpless and innocent women and children, is a disgrace to any civilized nation, and ought to bo sent to Africa whore ho could live the lifo of a cannibal. Such a being is the abolitiou fiend who addressed tho peoplo cd this placo on Friday last, and w ho protended to bo a Democrat. It is a libel on tho name; and ho is attempting to st jal tho 'livery of Heaven ta servo the devil in.' He was kicked out of the parly just as soon as it was ascertained that ho had eold out to Gov. Morton, and lias been, ever since, a member in good standing in tho abolition, dis union party. This fact was proven by his abuse of the Democratic party from the timo he arose on tho stand until ho sat down. He is a miserable old hypoeralo who will say anything, do anything or bo auylhing for office, and who is consequently destitute of every principlo of honor or integrity. Tho Democratic party has made him al

NUMBER 37 WHOLE No. 141.

that he is, but just as soon a3 he thought the party wa3 destroyed ho forsook it, and joined the party he lias ever denounced as treasonable!. Let no honest Democrat bo deceived by his canting hypocrisy. Bufu5 Hewett; republican candidate for Treasurer, still admits Bill Shirley to his cellar to deal out liquor fcr electioneering purposes. Bill Shirley and his friends are manu facturing, and circulating numerous falsehoods constructed on the endless-drain system --concerning his competitor, hoping thereby to secure his election. When he electioneers Democrats he intimates that if he was not himself on the Republican ticket, he would not vote it; and when he talks with abolitionists he denounce! the Democratic party iu the most unmeasured terms. The friends of Mr. Johnson ajo wanting to trade off Jeemcs O. to secure the election of their candidate for Sheriff. They know that James is 'gone up' and they ara using him as a tool. So they go, let no one be deceived by such unpiincipled office-seekers, but let every Democrat vote the straight ticket. and all will be well. VERITAS. lliM'.ioa! 2ti'iiitIlta!iim. When the Republican party came into power, President Lincoln iu hi3 inaugural said, "I have no purpose directly, or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery, in the States where it exists. I beiieve I havo no lawful light to do so, ! and I have no inclination to do so." This wa3 sound doctiine, and if it had been lived up to, there would not, to day, be any lack of unity of sentiment in tho Ncrth, if, indeed, the horrors of civil war had not been stayed in tho first stages of the rebellion. But tho partizan hatred of leading and corrupt men in the Republican party chose to depait from this safe ground, and tho result has been nothing but ruin and degradation, and unless they speedily return to correct action, destruction itself must speedily ensue. Senator Cowan, a conservative Republican, on the 1st of July last, said, "Hardly a day has elapsed here, that some measure was not introduced relating to slavery. The gulf which separates the loyal men of the border States from the ultra school of lie Republican pnrty is nearly as wide, on this lloor, as that which separated the secessionists and Republicans of former times." It has been well said, that 'Congress, instead of calmly considering the ways and means of getting out of all onr difficulties, and feeding white men, called into service as soldiers, turned their Halls into places of meeting for two negro debating societies, in which abolition members vied with each other in inventing ways and means to benefit tho negro to feed him when he had run off to clothe him to liberate him to arm him to open schools to educate him, and to place him on an equality with the white race.' The following extract is a sample of tho kind of speeches made in the last Congress, a volume could be given of the same sort. Our duty to (fay is to tax and fy-';" Twin brothers of great power, to them, (laving and fighting) in good time shall be added a third, his name shall be Emancipation. And these t'uee Tax, fioht, EMANCIPATION shall 1)0 the TuiNITV of our salvation. So said Mr. Piki, and with him voted Schuyler Colfax, and the other radical republicans of Congress. Hero wa see the platfoim of the radicals, and fanatics as at present constructed. And as if the legitimate expenses of tho war were not a sufficient burden upon tho people, not sufficient to authorize a tax largo enough to gratify the worshippers of this Tkiniiv, they must needs buy all the negroes they could and put up a standing advertisement for more. To the million of dollars paid for slaves in tho District of Columbia, they desire to add two thousand millions more to pay for slaves in the States. Tho question is, do the peoplo wish theso measures to succeed? Their success would necessarily caaso a large influx of negroes into the frie States. We already have moro now than it U profitable to keep, and scarcely a day passes that wo do not receive through our exchanges; news of outrages committed by negroes upon unprotected white women; and the baro knowledge of the fact that Colfax, Pike, Chandler Sc Cc. are their champions, emboldens them to perpetrate these hellish out i ages. Re elect Mr. Colfax toCongnss and he will take it as an endorsement of his ncjiro legislation at the last session, and when ho returns to Washington will feel at perfect liberty to add to your butdens, more taxation to pay for moro negroes. In hie judgment it is nothing that our sons and our brothers, who fall in the army, leave widows at homo unprovided for, so that tho inevitable nurj:er is bought, fed, clothel and educated; ho loves the niuger, and, wo had nearly said, only him.
