The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1844-04-11

Hudson, Mr. v B. offered the following among
other resolutions;
ResolBed, That we still entertain undminish-
ed confidence in the integrity, wisdom and
patriotism of James Madison, President of the
United States, that we have fully realized, in
his administration, what we fondly anticipated
before his election, and that he is entirely enti-
tied to the esteem and veneraton of every con-
sistent republican"
In the spring of 1912, the republican members
of the New York Legislature nominated De Witt
Clinton, as a candidate for the Presidency.
In April, 1912, Mr.. Van Buren was elected a
member ofthe Senate ofNew York.
Mr. Van Buren, in giving his support TO the
nomination of MIR. Clinton, consulted what he
believed 10 bo the wishes of the Republican par
ty in the State of New York. The Federalists
in the New York Legislature in 1912, did not
vote for the Clinton electoral ticket; but ran one
of their own (Which they gave DC votes None
but Republicans voted for the Clinton ticket, and
up to that time Clinton's fidelity to Republican
principles had never been called in question.
A third, Or Anti-Clinton ticket, was run by a
portion of the Republican party, which received
twenty-eight votes, while the regular Republican
or Clinton ticket received seventyfour votes, all
thorough Republicans, friends of the war and It's
Vigorous prosecution. Thisvote so far from pro-
wing that Mr. Van Buren, was Federalist, proves
exactly the reverse; for Clinton was the nomina-
| ted candidate for the Republicans of New York
1t was not until about seven year afterwards that
Clinton separated himself from the Republican
party, and becamea favorite with the federalists.'
In June, 1912, war was declared.
In November, 1912, the Legislature, and Mr.
Van Buren, one of committee for that purpose
wrote a reply to the Governors speech, fully
sustaining the declaration of war
When that reply was under discussion, he vo
ted against proposed amendments, condemnine
the war.
In March, 1913, he made report in the Sen
ate, laudatory of our brave navy, and evincinG
continued confidence in the acts of the Genera
Il government.
Heyoted for a resolution authorizing the Comp
troller to subscribe $500, 900 to loan proposed
j by the General Government as means for carry
ing on the war.
fl In 1913, March 8, the Republican members o
the Legislature made an ''address to their con
stituents," which was from the pen of Mr. Val
4 Buren,. We quote from that address the follow
ing eloquent and patriotic sentiments, and reques
the opposition as we'll as our democratic friend
to peruse it with attention. 1t is of itself a mos
triumphant vindication of the course of Mr.. V
B. and should bring deep crimson on the cheel
of that person who could have the hardihood tt
, say that he was opposed to the last war. Again
we say read 1t:
FELLow-C CITIZENS Your country is at waI

brief examination of the causes which have let
to it; and brief as from the necessary limits of al
address it must be, we yet hope it will be foun'
sufficient to convince every honest man of til
5 high justice, and indispensable necessity of til
attitude acltich our government has taken; of til
sacred duty Of erery real American, to suppog
it in that attitude and Of the parricidal viecs 0
a.. those acho refuse to do SO.
+ After summary of the causes which brougl
on the war, the address goes on
, Under such accumulated circumstances of il
! suit and of injury, we ask again, what was you
7 Government to do? We put the question, nc
''to that faction which misrepresents the govern
Y ment to the people, and the people to the gol
, eminent; traduces one half of the nation to ca
, jole the other-and by keeping up distrust an
4 division, wishes to become the proud arbiter c
f the fortune and fame of Amerca''-not to then
: but to every Soundhead and honest heart in tn
: nation it is that we put the question: What wa
f your Government to do? Was she basely an
] inglorously to abandon the rights for which 20
S and your fathers fought and bled? Was she s
early to cover to the nation which had sought t
!, strangle us in our infancy, and which has neve
: ceased to retard our approach to manhood? No
1 we will not for moment doubt, that every ma
, who is in truth and in fact an American, will sa
: that WAR, AND WAR ALONE, Was our oal
j refuge, from national degradation; and our onl
!, course to national :. prosperity.
