The Democratic sentinel and Harrison County farmer. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1851-1852, 1851-07-16
Sc. Yinton. of GaIlia County

Speesacled pettfogger, residing in GallapO-
lis If trOkcn bark memory, Some twenty
wears ago, says the Plain Dealer. he was
sent to Congress, where for long time his
light was entirely hid, by being put under a
bushel, or eclipsed by those more radient in
abilities. 81
At length, out living most of his cOtem-
pOraries and getting thoroughly acquainted
with the rules OF the house, he became some
thing of an adept as tactician, and was
highly seryicable to the Old Hunkers, when
ever they wanted to outmanage the Pro-
gTessiyes and stave off any measure of re-
form. In this position he has always been
fugleman for Southern members, as the re-
cords of debates in the House for the last
fifteen years will abundmdy sho.
He has stood by them when no other
Wing delegate from Ohio would, and he
has uniformly voted with them. He was
the Southern candidate for speaker, when
Winthrop was elected; but, by arrangement
Withdrew and was appointed Chairman of
the most important Committee in the House.
He has invariably opposed all reforms by
whosOeyer proposed, and is an "Old Fede-
raj Hunker" of the very Uuest stamp.
His votes will be found against land re-
form in every shape; even opposing Bounty
Lands to soldiers,
! In addition to this he was an ardent advo-
cate of the infamous Bankrupt Law, which
was fastened upon the people by the Wing
party, and by which thousands of poor mer
were cheated out Of their hard earnings
ETery ratton measure advocated by the ole
Federal Wing party, has received from hin
a decided support.
Such is the man which now asks to b.
elevated to the Gubernatorial chair of Ohio
But We shall refer to this again.
/ MARKEE ACQUITTED.-At the lat
term of the court of common pleas of thi
county, Daniel Markee, who MAS charge,
with Killing James Myres some time since
was honorably acquitted. We suppose thi
was right, and all will be satisfied, withou
it is those, who, like our neighbor over tn
WAY, were so anxious to have "thc perpe
TRAITOR of this bloody outrage brought to jus
tice," as he was pleased to term Morkee..
OF We copy the above classically con
structed paragraph from the Sentinel" {
yesterday, only to say that it contains tw
base lies-the first of which is i'll the assel
ton that we were "anxious" for the conviC
: ton of Markee, and the second is in attrit
utng to us the language quoted in the abov
paragraph 1t cannot be found in the ere
publican" Somuch for this effort of malice
RYaJltcon, 1OM inst.
Rss~ Whether the paragraph We gave las
week in relation to the honorable acquitt;
of Daniel Markee was REALISTICALLY constru'
/. ted" or not, we leave that matter for otht
people to decide, not the editor of the Cad
f Republican.
: Michael says that our paragraph "col
: tains two lies" Wcwill see about that. i
saws that the first one is sin the assertion
that he was 'anxious for the conviction
Markee." Now forthc proof of our assertic
in saying that he was anxious for the col
Iviction of Markec. In the Cadiz Republics
: of June 5,h, the editor in giving IN accoul
of the 'fatal occurrence, closes up his a
ticle with the following sentence:
. ave hare not hedd that my STEP
= As YET hase been taken 10 bring tie lOerp
a trotor Of his HORRLD DEED I'O jus
. TYCE, md we iearR Mat lie STILL LIVE,
IN tie neighborhoua."
If you were not "anxious" when you per
ned the above sentence, we would like
know what ''anxious" means. You ma
, have been troubled with the ALE-mem whe
t you wrote it, but that is no excuse for yol
: The second lie, as you are pleased to teri
: it, is in attributing to you the language qu'
i ted in our paragraph last week. Our quoti
ton from you last week was in these word
"The perpetrator of this bloody outra.
Y brought to ojustlce," In your paper Of Iur
s, you say:--"The perpetrator of this ho
I rid deed brought to Justice" What diffe
a encc is there between the two sentences
A Only this You say "horrid deed" and "
: gave it "bloody outrage" through mistake
It's no use, Michael, for you to say thi
you were not "anxious" to have Markc
brought to justice. Your own words convic
you, and that is sufficient. "1He man act
t IMe roker" may have been after you whe
fIyou wrote the article in your paper Of Ju
oI5, but that does not hinder it from sayin
! that you were "anxious for the conviction
Markec." You only make yourself look r
q dicglous when You deny such things.
II 7, S Since writing the above, we ha,
understood that better day has dawne
= upon him. lie has sold his office, come OF
1 a sober man, and says that he intends to n
main one We say, thank God for it. n
/ persons are more rcjoiced than We are at IL
happy prospect of a glorious reformation
! our old friend. So long as he continues
sober man, We wish him God speed in wha
{, ever he ''fndeth for his hand to do" let h
lot be cast wlicr'er it may.
