Ho! Democrats!
Tbers will be a Convention of the
Democratic voters of Marshal County at
tile court house in Plymouth, on Situr
dij the 10th cf January 1S5'J. ( one tveek
from next Saturday) to appoint delegates
to tht State Convention in February
next. It ia important that there should
a 0ci turn-out. to don't forjiet it.
By crier cf the Central Committee.
C. II. REEVE. Cec'y
(CJ"Lo7j cf the Gothen Democrat, u
down ca us thii weelr. in relation to an
article we published three weeks aro.
about Brown flc Ellis of the Sentinel and
Statesman. Lowiy charges ua with hav
ing forgot a great many thing which
Brown hat been guilty of, as charged by
himself and Dr. Ellis, which he seems
to think ought to make us hate Brown as
bad as they do. Now we know as much a
bout the matteras our neighbor Lowryind
we hare a word to say on the subject.
Brown had his reasons for wh.it he did
about the speakership, and those reasons
were good no doubt, and did the party no
barm. As to bis dictation, we have our J
opxaioa about that too, and hive nothing 1
hard loaay about it except in one par
ttcuUr. As to his threat to strike EI
lis name from the list if be was nomi
nated, it was extremely silly, and un
worthy of any raau, much more a man of
Brown's standing and influence. His
personal abuse of Ellis was wrong, all
wrong; bat we remarked cn that last
week. As to Ellis, he has boen extreme
ly inconsistent. His change oa tbe free
foil question would never have hurt him.
and we find no fault with it, for the
whole party in Indiana rather tore their
trowsers ia handling the question, when
they should have stuck to the Baltimore
resolutions; but Ellis did not continue
to change with the times" according to
his motto. When the compromise meas
ures passed, he spefce against them in
language entirely uncalled for, and un
necessary. He could have opposed them
had he wished, and done it in language
lets abusive. Of course. Brown had to
defend himself and the measures. This
commenced a controversy which soon
ran where it ought not that is, into per
gonal inrectiTe; and the present position
of Ellis is the result. Now had Ellis
corse oct when he finally endorsed obe
dience to those measures, and dene as be
ought to hate done had hs been guided
by bis reason instead of pride and false
ootiom of honor and said that h '.ras
wrong in his position and wcu':! tjy to
keep right, the past would hare been for
given; and be would have teen State Au
ditor another term. He hi t done a good
deal for the democracy in days gone, by,
hut his personal hatred of W. J. Brown
entirely run off with his judgment, and
not only got him into a false position,
hut kept him there. Brown had the ad
antage of him in political warfare, and
he orght to have known better than to
measure clubs with him.' If Brown dealt
in invertive, Ellis should have noticed it
in the opposite spirit, and the game would
have been in his own hands. Because
Brown made use of his columns to .core
Ellis through, that did not make it right,
and he never should have followed him.
Simply publish facts, and let the people
judge.
Weil, Lowry, Ellis's successor to the
tripod of the Democrat, is Lis friend;
and he feels as Ellis does. Now friend
Lowry, we have a word to say to you.
The quarreling of brothers is disgraceful.
The bickering of fraternal journcis is con
temptible, as well as hurtful. Yourself,
Ellis and Brown, all profess to be dem
ocrats. You all edit widely circulated
papers. Here you are scoring ech oth
er weekly, not for the good of tha priad
pies yor profess, but from personal dis
like, and supposed personal injuries. It
is of no use to deny it. for your papers
are a history of the matter in plain let
ters. Union, harmony and good feeling!
can come from no such source. We said
nothing against any one in our nrticlc
before mentioned, we merely told facts.
Brown's conduct if wrong did not justify
Ellis in getting wrong likewise, and the
conduct of neither justified you in taking
aides personally, as you have done. Now
don't you think Lowry, that if Brown has
doee as joo charge, and it is all wrong.
jj J Elliahaa dons wrong too, that evrey
cut doio wrosg wh) sidei with either ef
tbemT Don't you think tky had both
better lean personalities out of the ques
tion, and that no paper has any right to
hsse i B23 sisspl tc::ui: tht editor
don't like him, or his conduct? We tell
you, thit the sooner it is dropped the
better; for the j eople and press are not
going to be dictated to by any man. and
if we laugh at threats and personal abufe
it will die sooner than to resent it. So
you and Ellis and Brown had better quit
throwing mud and talk about democracy,
the next president or anything else that
the people take a ppr to read about.
They care nothing about the persona!

To Our Patron.
About a year siuce. we came here and
started a paper. We were poor of
course no one ever heard cf a rich printer
but we were poor enough; having only
our eßee, paper, and hands to iio work
with. Subscriptions came in free, and
we aeon issued over six hundred papers
weekly. Our price was 81,50, iu ad
vance, a small sum to each individual
subscriber, but altogether, over $900.00
to us. Few people know the test of
publiahing a paper cren as small as our?.
It takes two hands (and our own work
I pari of the time) and they can earn from
87 to 810, per week. Then our paper
is more costly than is generally supposed
our office rent and other expenses,
cheap as we can get them, make it ex
pensive business. Our subscribers il
they all paid promptly, would not keep
up our paper if it were not for advertis
ing, and job work. People thiuk be
cause they owe us only 81. 50, it isu't
much, and they don't care Why from
400 to 600 people thinking thus, keeps
from SÖC3, to 6300, out of our hands,
while we have to run in debt, when that
$1,50, which you owe us, if paid, would
keep us going without debt. You can
see then, that you ought to pay up. A
paper even a poor one is a benrfit t
your county, and if you take it, you
ought to pay for it. Therefore, we wish
one and all, who are in arrears, to come
furward aud pay tbe little they ewe ur,
and altogether, it will make a great deal.
Oue more uumber will close the year.
We shall then have to suspend a couple
of weeks in order to procure material for
auother year. We shall stop the paper
of all thotc who do not pay up promptly
by that tine, because we are eompelled to.
We canuot buy and throw out oorue 200
sheets of paper each week for nothing, and
if you do not pay for it, of course you
can't ssh us to do so and print it for you
besides.
So plccse do us a favor, and yourself
justice by forking over," and then we
ran lite, end you can read with a clear
conscience. If you were in our place,
you would feel like a hungry man trying
to eat mush and milk out of a jug with a
pegging awl; and as you may be a printer
tome dsy, you had better pay up now, so
your patience will be greater then.
CCpWhy don't our citizens organise a
joint stock company, and build a brick
block two stories high, and seventy feet
deep from Wheelers- to Pershings, where
the fire has cleaned off such a nice place
for it. 610.000 would do it, and il
would pay 15 to 20 per cent on the mon
ey. We have got the men wot's got. the
money.- Then wy dont you pony up and

G3In an article published two weeks
ago in relation to Kossuth, we spoke of
the opposition of some of the leading pa
pers at Washington, and among them we
mentioned the National Era. We were
probably mistaken as to the position
of that paper to a certain extent, and our
remarks should apply to the Intelligencer
i and Republic.

The Typography is really ueat, and seems
to be done up about as nice as need be.
The matter is well selected, various, and
entertaining, and altogether, it presents
itself as a vary able effort at the pablica
lion of a fine large paper.. We hope, the
Democracy will sustain the paper , as it
ought to be, and as they are able to do.
and cbove all; we hope our neighbor
Graves and his Whig cotemporariea will
not get mad after a while and use . hard

after was induced to take an interest iu
