Plymouth Democrat. THURSDAY, SEP. 17, 1808.

Voters of Marshall eountv, on the 13th of October you are to cast your ballots at the most important election ever held in Indiana. Important not only as a state election, but because it will go very I far toward deciding the presidential election in November. An Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana go, so goes the nation in November; that is admitted by all parties. Now, how are you going to vote? Have you decided that important question in your own minus, or are vou still in Ann.t- tv. tum i- .i . 3 . . vau-.c ui )unr vote, una tue great responiibility resting upon you? If not, then we beseech ynu to pause a moment and consider. Jiemember the republican par ty which has been in power fur the past yj"" .? MYT fry, and you are among the jurors. On this trial you should as honest men lav aside all prejudice and decide for or againstl that party upon facts alone. Remember t that the admissions of a criratnal are the strongest evidence against him. N ow what have some of the leading republicans admitted against that party? Let U ?ee: Duriig the war Juhn P. Halt, a republican senator from Xew Hampshire, standing on the floor of the United States Sinate, made this declaration: I tell you. sir, I believe, and I deciare it upon my responsibility as a sen atorotthe United States, that the liberties of this country are in greater danger tday from the corruptions awd from the roflieacv nractiecd in ib. m w K U,ai I" mcnts of government, than they are from the enemy in the field."

It is not deUnttely known whether he is thus favored because he threatened t sue the Presbyterian ehureh ol this place (before Iiis aemini tion for representative, of course), or for an equally ebristiaa-like display of hivirtues in other ways. lie propbe that he will reduce thc dvmocratic majority to 250 on representative ! 1'hew! Our frieud Coli Sumner, who ran for county clerk on the radical ticket, last fall, had also a prophetic cast. He prophesied that he would be beaten by 7- votes he was laid on the shelf by the largest democratic majority ever given in Mar shall county G14 ! Assuming ihe 'gifts' of WaetSI f wit and the Col. to be equal, a schoobboy may easily arrive at the result As 72 is to 014, so is 250 to thc m ijority under which Westcrvelt will find himself buried nest month.

Early last week bills were posted anmoat eloquent men of the country, would address the radicals of Marshall and snrroundine counties at rivmonth. on Saturdav. Renteniber. 12. The daw was most j . i j propitious ; the distinguished orator arand large numbers ef country reoI i ole filled onr streets. At the apooioted time we sought for the speaker and his audience. We visited thc Seminary grove, the Conrt-honse square, the hall every place where a demonstration Vould be likely to be held ; and although we saw occasionally one of the faithful on the sheet, we could lot find the sneaker nor hear anything definite about the speech; we finally gave np in despair on learning that tbe Professor had left the dace, on the LaPorte train, and that, owing to circumstances of a, private character, it had been decided to give uj the meeting I CSommeat would be soperfiuousi We can only add that the PfoffeMOT "shook ufF the dust" ol the town with BUeb an expression of disgust as no man can assume or conceal. Poor, deluded lamb I lie thought radicalism was not yet dead in Marshall county. Wl are informed that there is a man engaged in baeiness in our town, who says he don't want democratic patronage " lie oaght not te bave it loreed upon him. When amanbecom icntirsly independent in his business relations, he OUght to be permitted to M retire," aud euch radicals as "do not desire (binocratic patronage" should be put on the retired list as soon as

possible.

We o in hardly find any othet iateroretation el thaif coarse, for there are mo figures justifying their statements, and they can present none. REFRESHING.

This veteran bushwhacker made a speech at Ti ppe Canoe town one day last week, in which he reiterated his lies about the rel.ttivc ta ;es of St. Joseph aud Marshall eoaaties. With nn appearance of honesty and candor, he said that if ho made any misstatements he would correct them as publicly as he made them, on being convinced of the fact. At the conclusion of his rcmarks, M. W. Downey, Bsq., our county treasurer, being present, arose and .-aid ; tj,.lt thouirht he could show by docui j veil, il he could be allowed ten minutes of time, or even five minutes. lie was promptly met with the remark by thc bushwhacker that "it was a republican meeting and iheycoaldo't hear Mr. DownI ey" that " Mr. Downey could call h8 own meetings;" and eoawequently Mr Downey was not allowed to expose the lies that bad been knowingly uttered for i the purpose of deceiving the people. Now, we a-k the voters of Marshall county, 'a bat they think of such a course? The faifvmioded republicans who attended the meeting above allude 1 to, were unanimous in expr -sing their disapproval j of, and contempt for, sneh an unfair and cowardly course, and scarcely s man but was convince 1 thai the statements of pre tended facts made by Westcrvelt were untrue, ami would not bear investigation, aud th it his on'-, fscaj.e foin conviction on the spot as a wilful falaifier, whs in Am cowardly and unfair course he adopted: " THE LAST DRAFT: The Hepublican comes to the aid of J.

This helps the ease. Mr. Westcrvelt was m favor of taxtag the property of the man who was in tt.o field, and taking from his family tbeir already slender means of inpporr, to relieve himself from i he calls of hum si ity.
