The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1852-10-01

&c--io "compel powers whose views did
not comport with ours to a forced agree
meni." What the speaker probably meant
was, that Pierce secuted the doctrines Of
The Wing patty, and that plank in the
Wing platform which Greedy properly
said was "wrii,en by an ass" and, he
nigh, have added, was only 81 TO be the
doctrine Of ssses--ihat sour mission as a
Republic is not 10 propagate our opin-
ions.r and that, however, the crowned
heads Of the world conspire against and
trample upon the liberties Of independent
Nations, the United States will look on
coIdly, and refuse aid, interference, or
protection for in effect that is the
Wing doctrine. And il is an offence in
Mr.. Tipton's eyes that Gen. Pierce will
probably take nobler and less selfish
course. In our Revolutionary struggle
foreign aid was asked freely and il was
freely given. For our liberties some Of
the best blood Of the old world was
poured out, and The man has ca'tiff and
migrate soul, who determines that under
no possible circumstances shall that aid,
rendered 10 our struggling weakness, be
ever returned 10 down -trodden and suffer-
ing humanity. Sentiments such as these
may be preached 10 those whose souls are
bowed 10 the worship OF mnmmon, but
are unfit for men, whose souls like their
steps arc erect, and such are the Free
men of the Northwest.
Mr.. Upton informed his audience that
Thomus Jefferson was a democratic
leader. and straightway proceeded TO
slander him by indirectioh. He declared
10 his hearers "that the Kentucky and Vir-
g;nia resolutions of 1898 ,rere "tredson''
that they justified Secession and Nulli-
Ifcation--ihas the Democratic Baltimore
Convention dug up those resolutions and
made them a part of their Platform BY
citing to their dates, Oithout giping them
a place in the platform; because they
dared not insert them at length else their
unholy and unrighteous principles svould
be knopn to The people and ,could bring
only defeat 10 the party, and not a man
here knew Dhai they contained sape possi-
bly, s,Do or three political leaders"
Mr.. Upton mistook his audience, "a
majority Of whom we're Democrats) as
well as grossly misrepresenied the Ken
lucky and Virginia resolu utions, the prin-
ciples Of which are embodied in the
| second rerolu,ion Of the Wing Platform,
as part OF the purchase OF Scoil's nom
ination, but which Mr.. TIp.on ignorantly
or designedly, like his prototype, Horace
Greeley, spits upon when the purpose is
accomplished for which the doctrines
were avowed. These resolutions have,
within a few weeks before Mr.. Tipton;s
effort at enlightenment been published
| in nearly every Democratic newspaper in
the Northwest counties-in the Delphos
Oracle, Defiance Democrat, Hancock
| Courier, &c.-except our own, and we're
only NOT by US, because heretofore given
to our readers. The pretence that our
people were ignorant Of them is false
hood-,he pretence that they contained
treason is equally false, unless their pro-
test agdiast the odious Alien and Sedition
Laips of John Addms's administration,
and the denial Of unlimited powers in the
U. s. Government, in fraud Of the re.
served rights Of the States, could Justly
be called Treason. But this base federal
attack upon the character and principles
Of these resolutions will best appear,wher
we recollect that the author Of the Ken
lucky resolutions was Thomas Jefferson
the author Of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and that the author Of the
Virginia resolutions was James Madison
} the father Of the U. s. Constitution
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison
TRAIToRs This man Upton did well 4
travel from Washington to tell the people
OF the Northwest that these men WHOM
they have ever venerated as among thl
greatest and noblest Of the Revolutionar,
I. fathers were reasonable conspirators
| He would have done better, however, tc
have said where he came from, and KEEP
the office, the receipt Of which is thus tc
be paid for. The reputation Of ou
great and good men is dear to ou
people, and they will not less respec
The mighty dead because a travelling
mountebank ISLANDERS their principles
and insults their memory by base ISLANDERS
which ought to damn 10 enduring ant
lendless infamy the mcanest and mos
malignant partizan zealot, who ever dis

man. II il is by such means as fhes,
