THE PILOT.
I'LYaiOUTII, IXDIAIVA.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1G, 1851.
The Plymouth Pilot
Is before you, kind reader, how do
like it? It comes not to you on mammoth
wings, like sme of its cotemporaries,
but brings you, we trust, although not
so much, at least a history of passing
events, as welcome to your taste, (edi
torials excepted) as those furnished you
by its larger brethren.
"But, says one: "Stranger, what's your
Politics?" "We reply: they are Demo
chatic; of the Jeffersonian and Jackson
school. Our ''Democracy is not to be
appaled, corrupted or compromised. It
knows no baseness, it cowers to no
danger, it oppresses no weakness, Des
tructive only of despotism, it is the
sole conservator of liberty, lahor, and
property. It is the sentiment of freedom,
of equal rights, of equal obligations
the law of nature pervading the law of
the land."
Firm though we be, in the Cause we
have espoused, we shall never descend
to that abuse of our opponents in Opin
ion which is too often resorted to by par
tizan Presses conceiving that such
abuse not only falls to convince, but en
genders a bitterness of feeling, that
should no more attend our political dif
ferences in opinion, than our social re
lations in society.
-The Tclrgraph, now in operation
here, will afford us superior advanta
ges in giving the very latest news; our
Exchange lift is large, affording us a
wide field from whence to glean much
news of inlerest to our readers.
Our Press is in fine order our Type
new and of large variety. With these
facilities, and a determination to render
the "Plymouth Pilot" interesting to
every class of readers a first rate Fam
ily Paper and a zealous advocate of all
that may tend to promote the interests
of our town, and of Marshall County,
generally, we respectfully solicit pub
lic patronage.

vicinity, in the adjoining county of Ful
tou.wcre thrown into a state of great ex
citement, on Wednesday last, by the dis
covery of the dead body of Mr. Arnold
Perry, in he woods near his residence,
about four miles from Rochester. Short
ly afterwards, suspicion arose that he
had been foully murdered, and by
Jackson demons a nephew of the de
ceased who was living with him
and who, as we are informed, was to fall
heir to a large portion of Mr. Perry's
property, demons, when first arrested,
denied all knowledge of his uncle's
death, but now confesses that he shot
him, but done so accidentally. His
statements on the subject are very con
tradictory. He is now confined in the
jail at Rochester.
Mr. Perry was a bachelor aged about
45 years aud a highly esteemed citi
zen. This statement is furnished us by a
gentleman living in Rochester. We re
frain from further particulars, as the af
fair, of course, will undergo the proper
legal investigation.
Melancholy Accident.
Ilbecumes our painful duty this week
to announce the death of Mr. Michael
L. I5.i iley. a highly esteemed resident
of Polk township, in this county, who,
cn Wednesday !ast, while driving his
wason a short distance from his resi
dence, was instantly killed by the fall
ing of a tree. Mr. B. formerly resided
in Cincinnati aged about 06 years.
He leaves a wife to lament his loss.
. May we improve the lesson which his
sudden death teaches us, "That in the
midst of life we are in death!"
CCT" Cincinnati papers will confer a
favor by copying the above.
Hon. Jame. .Vhitcomb will accept
our thanks for the "Annual Message, and

By the way, we see that the State
Journal notices the arrival at Indianap
olis, of a large lot of books, under the
if.TfiTv)! senator tv unco mo. ii mese
books arc for distribution among the
people, and we incline to the belief that
they are, we really see no just cause for
the censure again3t Mr. W., that the.
Journal's remarks on the subject would
imply.

Democratic Convention.
Our friends in other puns of the Dis
trict, we observe by the papers, are al
ready aroused to the important subject
of nominating a suitable Democratic
candidate for Congress at the ensuing
election. Of course we know not who
will be the nominee, but as fur as our indi
vidual preference is concerned, we hold
up both hands for GRAHAM N. FITCH.
We have watched his course closely
while in Congress and must confess,
that his attention to his duties his able
devotion to all that tended to the ad
vancement of Western interests and to
those of his constituents, has -diced us i
7 i
among his many admirers, throughout his
District. However, let the Convention
bring out whom they may, we'll go
heartand hand for the nomination.
Plymouth is the place selected for
the meeting of the Convention; the pre
cise day we don't know but it will be
duly announced, when fixed upon by the
Central Committee.
Cincinnati Commercial.
We have just received from a friend
in Cincinnati, a late No. of the above
named paper. It is edited by Gkeely
Curtiss, Iq., shows great tact and in
dustry, and is enjoying, as it deserves, a
wide circulation. The Editor wields an
able pen his selections are judicious
the paper beautifully- printed and al
together i! is one of the most int resting
papers in the West. The other city pa
pers "pitch into him" rather strong, oc
casionally, but Curtiss gives them as hard
knocks as they send, and seems to "hold
his own" as well as the best of 'em.
Walk up, friends: subscribe first for
your County Paper then send a lJollar
get the Cmimcrcial. We know of no
paper in the "Queen City of the West"
to which we would rather "Pilot" the
attention of ill who want a Neutral
journal, than to the Cincinnati Com
mercial. April Elections.
The following persons were elected in
this (Centre) township, on Monday last.
Inspector: William M. Dunham.
Constables: Uri Metcalfe, Jr., Albert
Taylor, David Howe.
On the License Question, the vote
was:

In favor of, and blanks, Go-
Majority against License,

Oar IScmoval from Kociirster.
It is due to those of our Subscribers
to the Rochester Republican, whom we
vrere unable to see, personally, before
we left, to state some of the reasons
which induced us to remove our Tress.
1st. One-third of our patronage was
in this county, which would have been
withdrawn from us, preparations hav
ing been already made to establish a
Press here.
21. The Telegraph afTords us facili
ties Rochester did not possess.
3d. The County Printing is more
valuable here than in Fulion county,
and as to JOU-WORIv and ADVER
TISING tint is much better also.
Ith. Our Subscription list is larger,
and steadily increasing.
In connection with the above subject
we would state, that tur subscribers who
now get the "Pilot" in Rochester, will
receive them free of postage.
Our Side Walks.
We notice that one of our citizens
has been "mending his ways" by putting
down a good substantial pavement op
posite his residence. Glad to see it. But
this is only the commencement of the
good work. An Ordinance of our Town
Trustees, (published in to-day's paper.)
provides for further improvement in our
streets, which will not only beautify' our
town, but prove a great convenience.
(0The reader will perceive that our
paper is marked No. 13. This is done to
preserve the connection regularly on with
the numbers we published in Rochester,
a great many continuing to take the Pi
lot who subscribed for our Paper, when
it was called the Hepublican.
Our Thanks
Are due to all who are now actively
engaged in getting subscribers for us.
Go on, gentlemen we'll try to make
the "Pilot" wo'thy of your effort.
Keep it Before the People,

We perceive, is on a tour sojrfTi and
west, on some mission connected with
the Government. Whether the galUnt
old General is trying to "kill two birds
with one stone," or not, his letter ac
cepting the nomination for the Presi
dency, and the pomp and public jpt
which he allows his friends to make over
him, at the different points he visits,
certainly looks a good deal like it and,
possibly, might lead some folks to be
lieve that his tour through the country,
at this particular time, was "got up"
for a particular occasion. The funniest
part of this affair, is, that those Whig
editors who lifted up their eyes in holy
. horror at the "unrighteous and damna-
j bIe war whh Mexico, are now the very
foremost in glorifying the man. who
caused under his own eye, and under his
own direction, ih? wholesale slaughters
which the indomitable bravery of our
soldiers brought upon that country. Cut
expediency is the whig game now.
Our Whig friends seem to think that
drums, fifes and gun-powder are useful
in more ways than one. They proved a
substitute for principles in '4S aow
they will answer in 52, remains to be
seen.
The Candidates,
For nomination at tlu ensuing Whig
Congressional Convention, will be, as far!
as we can learn: Schuyler Col fix, of
South Rend, Daniel D. Pratt, of Logans
port, and John R. Niles, of Laporte.
Should 'Schuyler" unfortunately, bo
elected, his party in Indiana certainly will
misshini. He has some sharp tilting occa
sionally in defending his opinions, but,
right or wrong, his opponents always
find in Mr. Colfax, "a foe man worthy of
their steel'
"Rpiuler unto Ca;s r." 6cc. &c.

with names attached, will please leave

A Pkrilous Situation. W'e learn
from passengers by the Steamer Ocean
from liutlalo to Detroit, that on Wednes-
day or Thursday evening of last week th
Steamer Raltimore, with a large load of
passengers, got fast in the ice, between
Ruifalo and Rlack Rock, and night com
ing on, the officers thought they might
remain there safely till morning. Under
this impression all retired to their berths
but in the course of the night, some of
. I . a . i I
the passengers discovered that the boat I
" i
t was moving rapidly down stream, in the j
direction ol the cataract below! I he ot-
licers were immediately roused. All
was excitement and consternation on
board, und for u time the bout und her
living freight seemed to be doomed.
Anchors, however, were immediately
thrown overboard, and they fortunately
checked progress of the boat unti.
steam could be raised in sufficient quan
tity to carry it beyond the n ach of dan
ger. W'e learn that a day or two before, a
man in attempting to cioss the river in a
skiff, got entangled with lloating ice, and
thus loosing the pow er of directing his
course, was carried over the Fal.s.
A negro lately fell out of the third
story window of a house in New Or
leans. Fortunately he lit upon his head
and escaped unhurt. If he had lit upon
his feet, the poor fellow minht have
broken his legs.
