The Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1852-1853, 1853-06-15

i it not natural that the hand Ofevery Dem.
ocrat should be against lin. Who has for.
gotten the bitter, even undignifed, course
Of Mr.. Whilaesey in 1910, in playing the
orator at cider-banel conventions and log
cabin orgies, respecting the falshood inver.
ted by ogle and others, 10 gull the people
into opposition to Mr.. Van Buren and the
Democratic party, of which he was then the
standard Who but himself inven-
ted the ridiculous story of the salaried posey
watcher at Washington? Who but himself
averred on his yeracity that an individual
was employed at S1,4OO per annum, tc
watch single flower in the Presidents gar
den? In short, whoever suspected him oI
being anything but whig all over-~a perfec
Hebrew of the Hebrews-old bunker and
old fogy at that? and to use the laguage o
the President, no reasonable man supposed
he could be retained in Office, under a Dem
ocratic administration, longer than the time
when his case should be fairly reached
Nor do we yet believehe will!
"The spirit of the subject, is all right. Il
they have been tooimpetuous in then move,
ment, it was provoked by the insulting jeers
Of Mr.. Whittlesey's political friends. We
are daily reminded by them, that our county,
with its 1000 Democratic majority, will sill
continue to be represented in the reception
of patronage by Mr.. Whittlesey and son.
And then he has so often contrived to make
to himself friends Of the mammon of un-
to take him into their houses
when he should fail, that their jealousy is
excited. But let us keep cool-we know
we have Democratic President; and we
know that U, S. Senators, elected by Dem,
cratic votes, oughtto be Democrats at Wash
ington city, as well as on the stump canvass
ing their own States; and rest assured that
if they have lent themselves to deceive and
miSlead Mr.. Pierce, he will not remain de-
ceived. Old fogyism has had its day! -
The doctrine of life tenure for Office explo-
1ed in theory, in the days Of Hamilton and
Jefferson, but III practice abuses sometimes
will occur. We regard the case of Mr..
Whittlesey as a strong one. Were he even
| Democrat, we should advocate his remov-
ID in def erencc to the wholesome principle of
rotation in ofice--as he is whig, the De-
nocracy collectively and individually have
\ right to insist on his prompt dismissal,
md will confidently anticipate the payment
If some regard to their reasonable desires"
EB-Treasurer Hilbert entered the Cadiz
Bank, a few weeks ago, under the Crowbar
vet, and took from It S3, 628, SO, the amount

ution" MIR. Hllbert's fees for enforcing the
lct was $l72.79--the Bank destructiyes pay

Ey Suppose that Mr.. Hilbert's fees were
sl72,79, was he not justly entitled to them?
II your last sentence you throw out sneak
ny insinuation that he received more for his
ees than what he was entitled to VIXEN YOU
ay, 'the Bank destructives pay their agents
literally" The impression has gone abroal,
rom this very same article quoted above
hat Mr.. II. used the crowbar, as we notice
n the Steubenville Herald, in collecting the
ak Of the bank, which is not the case He
vent to the bank by himself, got the tax,
