Democrat of Marshal' : the election of ths year ire over and victory has again perched upon our banners ! Connecticut, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, NaT Yorlc, Not Jersey and Maryland, arc new democratic states, while the immense gain raido by the democracy in Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Indian. Illinois, Wisconsin, lows. Minnesota and Kansas, demonstrate! beyond o doubt that the paop'e of those states are fast becoming disgusted with the ruinous policy of the party in power, and that a lixnilir gaiu next year will give the most of them to the democracy. All that is ncceasary to secure the fruit of the ucrories of this year; and injure the election of & democratic president next yenr, is a thorough organization of the democracy throughout the country. We have a cunning and a vigilant foe to met ; already wc a them preparing for the conflict. They are throwiug overboard for the time htlnz their citrenio measures. They are carofully covering up temperance, vromen uffrage, negro equality, impeachment tends, tariffs, Ac., Ac, and 'looking round for an avail tbl candid.ito. All these measures aro intended to deceive the poopl?, and they hope thereby to regain the ground they have lost. Toineetthcra with any hopes of success vre mutt be orgaaizeJ anJ puardod at every point. This cannot bo accomplish) 1 by a few raon. Our Icrliug men mtj plm for lis, bat thit it all they can dj. It depend upea the people after all ; the farmer?, mechanics and laboring men, whether we are orjvjiaed or not. Ono of the first things necessary at this time is tho circulation among democrats aud comervative men of sound democratic papers. One paper now is worth a dozen in the heat of tho campaign. Ar.? we ready for the campaign ia .Marshall ? If not, lose do lime in preparing ourscivea. Next year -ye have- two representatives among other officers to elect, ono of them being elected by this county and St. Joseph. It is our duty to see to it that wo giro a larger majority than St. Joseph. If we fail in that they will elect an Abolitionist. At the aextreguhr sosaiou of the legislature we let a United States Souator in place of Themas A. He nd rick j. Ths legislature 4 expected to be clou, and as Marshall gaim or looses that representative, so ros ibly may the democracy of this stato, retain Of lose a United States Senator. There never was a greater responsibility resting oa us than now. T meet it we must organize early and work. We make this proposition to you, and we do it in good faith. If yon, the democratic farmers, mechanics, laboring and business men of Marshall, will take hold of the matter now, and increase the circulation of the Plymouth Democrat to ono thousand ubfcribers in the county, we will guaran tee you from 800 to 1,000 majority ncit year ; vou can easily do this. Wo have over L500 democratic voters in tho county, no ono of whom is not able to take tho Uzmocrat, and ought to do it. As you support the paper, so will the paper sup port you by becoming moro and more effi cient. Now is the time to subscribe, and ice to it that your neighbor takci it also. We shall sparo no pains on our part, of time or money to make it worthy of your support. The reponsibilitics renting upon us now, as a party, arc the greatest we ever bore. It is expected that every me ruber of it will discharge his duty. Will you do it ? Let your action answer. We believo yoa will. CREEftDAC US AXD MIGIIO M I'. Amor. the many questions upon which the people of tho states recently holding election expressed a very decided opinion, wro tho two which for many months hare bcn looming high abovo all others in tc political sky, viz: the payment of tic na'.ionil debt in greenbacks, and negro suffrage. On these question they hivo spoken with an earnestness and with a directness which admits of no doubt a3 to their ! res aud intentions in that recard ; cr.d when tho people ?peak, opposition t3 their voi :o 13 as chaff before the whirlwind. It bai required all the ingenuity of party leader, all the etreogth of party machinery, and all the potcut power of cjqniJ cabob, to make the people believe, even for a short time, that it was sound fi. uancial policy, and fair dealing with all 1 tax-pnytrs to exempt thit e!a;

of citizens from taxation who derive the most benefit from the government. Whenever and wherever tho proposition has boon made to pay off the national debt iu national currency the same that government creditorj paid for national bond, it hss been met with the most venomous opposition from the bondholders and their defesders. Why one class of property-

downers should be exempt from taxation, J find all other property-owners heavily jburthoued with taxes to pay tho interest on the debt owin to those who pay no ! taxes, is a quzstion which it has heretofore bceu difficult to solve. But if the results of the recent election are indica tions of the temper of the people, it may confidently be expected that this question will be settled not fur in the future, .on a basii fair and just; on a ba-ia that places the hardens of taxation not only on those who cauuot buy government bonds, but upon tbe owner of property of every name and kind. Gold for tho rich, (received ss interest ou government bonds,) and greenbacks for the "comuiou " people, is a legalized system of oppression, wrong and outrage, under which the people have been puffcring ever since the advent of the republican party to power, and one which it is to be hoped will cease to exist when that party shay be forced to relinquish the control cf the government. The question of nero suffrage in the north has been even more summarily disposed uf, if possible, than the subject of having one currency for all. This question was going along swimmingly so long as its application was bciug made to southern state.?, by the people of the north ; but when the question was brought home to those who were so clamorous for the rights of the colored n.an who had fought so bly for the blessed priv leges we all enjoy, there was an unusual fluttcrin" among those into whose keeping was intrusted all that pertained to ''the best government the world aver saw," and when the question was submitted to them for their action, their verdict was such us to appal the stoutest hearts that beat for ' equal j rig. its. ever before, in the history of republic, was sueh ingratitude manifest-1 ed as "i3 now justly charged to the republicans wLo recently voted with the demoerat those joritie orcd . .emiesofour common country on ti j rM ... , a bloody hetJ, (i rr) orts he true.) the enemies many always taking their rations with the utmost regularity.

In Mas8.-chuetts the radical majority is rcducd 30,000, while two-thirds of the leeUlatur- is opposed to the orohibitorr i liquor law. New Jersey and Maryland are both I democratic by handsome maiorities Wisconsin and Minnesota have onc . w republican by largely decreased maiorities nM , . J . J ' ' There have hcon heavy democratic gain throughout Illinois. In Kansas the woman's rights and neKro suffrage propositions have been defeated by about 10,000 majority. A correspondent of the New York Heraid who has travelad through south-western Virginia, pays every negro cabin contains firearms of some description, and In deserted churches, barns and school houses, negroes arc nightly drilled with guards mounted, to prevent interruption t r discovery. He wituessed a midnight drill in the woods, in which over ono hundred ucgroes were engaged. The whites are apprehensive of a negro attack, and are in grtat terror. The prosideut is represeuted as b:dug in a towering good humor consequent upon the result of tho late elections. He is 4id to enjoy iu a high degree the convulsions and expiring throes of radicalism, to engulph General Grrnt iu the ruin which has at last overtaken it. A terrible calamity occurred at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania on the 8th itift. A portion of mill buildings belonging to a firm in that city were blown to atoms, and about twenty persons killed and manv wounded, The explosion occurred in the .. ...,. . . . lorgc portion ot the mill ; and. to add to the terrible accident, the building took fire and was soon in flames.

In Warren township a good deal of damage was done The gable end of Leo Cox's house was blowu iu, and some of his children hurt, though not seriously. Kast of town the damage was considerable. A correspondent writes the following account of the destruction iu Greencastlc. " Gm.KNfAhiiLi:, Ind. Nov. 9. Last evening, about half-puttG o'clock there appeared 111 the northwest an un usually dark and threatening cloud, accompanied by vivid lightning. In a few moments a rumbliug nod roaring, marc fierce ud terrible than the coufusion of forty railroad trains, was heard iu the direction, aud iu .1 moment it was upon us. It came from a southwesterly direction, occupying a space of about two hundrod yards, in which pcurccly 41)' thing was left unhurt. Filtering the city as it did, the first prominent building which came in its course was the colego (Indiana Asbury university), where near two hundred students had convened at the library societies, and an evening prayer-meeting, which was also being held iu the college building, was in session, all of which broke up in a general stampcdc. No 0110 was hurt, but all were badly sc.ued. The loss ataiued by the college building was .slight, principally in chimneys and windows. The damage done to the campus, in loss of trees, was by no mean?, slight. 'The next public building in its course was the seminary, which was aluiort un roofed, leaving the cupola and a small porlion of the roof next to it rtmmniug with . . . r .1 . ,?,,. a part of tho walls. 'Ihe uext building of note was tho Methodb-t Et iscopal church, a two story brick bnilding, whose roof was carried entirely away, leaving tho walls only, very badly damaged, ptaudingT The next public building, and the one which sustaiucd the heaviest loss, was tho Raptist church, which was wholly destroyed, the building ,being razed to the ground, a very beautiful little church, which had just been completed. ' As the church was comparatively new, and composed of but few members, most of whöra aro not wealthy, or at least not sufficiently able to rebuild again immediately, this will be an irreparable loss to them.

To-night, at the Tremont House, an organization will be effected, under a charter from tho last legislature, in which the Y. M. C. A. and the C. C. V. and the Citizens Relief Association will have equal share. It may be pad to a well-balanced onshodox mind like .Moody's to have to labor with unbelievers iu the cheerful doctrine of eternal damnation, but the general public will rather view it as a good omen and look fi.r them to effect much for tho relief of the needy during the winter. The preparations which arc being made for the soldier's fair which is to open on Wednesday nest at the Wabash Avenue Rink, arc now almost complete, and there is every reason to expect tho fair to prove a graud success. The Odd Fellows had a banquet last Thursday evening, tho profits of which, some 31,000 they donated to the fair, und similar action is to be taken by .1 score of other societies. The individual contribution? are also said to be immense. Gen. Sheridan will not be herein time lor tho opening of the fair, but Gen. Wilson will be present and very imposing ceremouies have already been arranged. One noteworthy feature iu connection with this subject will he the establishment of a bazar for the Fale of the novel, elegant and popular elastic sponge gojdj, all the profits of which are to go to the fair. This clastic sponge is, by the way, one of the grandest discoveries cf th ae, being as far superior t curled hair.' feathers or any other material for stuffing ...r -ik,. . , nnluons, pillows, mattresses, etc., as cur - . ls bclter than :i I,,ne board or a Japaneso hard-wood pillow.

It is charged that Cassiday. of New York, addressed a letter to a prominent gentleman of this city, in which ho announced the purple of the New York democratic state convention to pass a resolution repudiating Mr. Johnson and Iiis administration, and that this announcement by some me ms reached the president's ears. It is further announced that the president immediately dispatched a distinguished Missourian and si i equally distinguished Tennessee ceutleman to New York to confer with parties in that city with a view to arrest the understood, covenated and agreed that the resolutions repudiating the administration should be stricken out, and that a dbthguished New York statesman should bi forthwith installed iu the president's capinet. Such. I understand, are tffe chari;ea as preferred by the New York parties who say they carried out in full faith their part of the agreement, but that Mr. Johnson has broken faith with them and failed ! to make the promised change in his cabi net. Un the other hand, the president's friends asert the want of good faith was not on his pnrt, bat that the agreement required the convention to endorse the ad ministration, which it failed to do, and hence Mr. Johnson was relieved ofanv obligation to make the change in his cabinet. Several spicy letters, T understand, have passed between the representatives of the high contracting parties in their efforts to settle the question of had faith.

The Paris La Iyresc of Oct. 118, nays, in reference to the Roman expedition : 4,On Friday evening about'.) o'clock. Gen. Cialdini sent for the Frcnih charge d'affaires, 31. de ia Yilestreaux, and told him he wrs no longer minister. The general told him he thought ho would have been able to master the situation, but finding he could not, he had asked the king to be relieved of the charge which his majesty had confided to him, and he was waiting the nomination of a successor. 'J'he reappearance of Garibaldi on the scene, remarked the general, had singularly aggravated tlie state of affairs, for the party ot action was thus supplied with a chief, and the public mind inflamed. The Italian government acknowledged itbclf incapable of stemming the movement. "In rejjly to an observation by 31. de la ilcstrer.ux that the first step on the pontiticial tcrritort would result in a der tiou of war from France, Gen. Cia dar 1ialdini aid the Dalian government foresaw aud accepted the consequenco. War against France appeared to it the best issue. The attempt to struggle against Mazzini and Garibaldi would be to attempt the imposMble. Tho government would be devoured by revolution. Yictor Ftmnauuel would risk uselessly aud without any hope his popularity, his crown, aud'pethaps his life. 'France,' Hontinued the general, 'is a generous enemy She will uot make war otherwise than conformably with the laws of civilization. Vc feel certain she will nut tako undue advantage of the situation. One may be vanquished by her without shame, and almost without danger.' " (Jen.

This impor tant conversation was transmitted to l'aris last night by telegraph, and determined the emperor in giving ordr which his majesty made known to the minister at todav's council."

Garibaldi, with his hair thrown back under a red cap of a fi.-difhan, and inuflled in a thick coat of grccu cloth, rowed boldly into (he midst of the squadron pulling the oars himself. . Wheu challenged by the commander of the Frinco Humbert ho replied in Genoese patois that he was g'diig toIHi on the coast. "Away then," cried the officer. A few hours later Garibaldi reached the Sardinian coast, thenco set sail for tho continent.
