The Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1852-1853, 1853-08-31

er from Thomas Quinn-which we decline
publishing for the reason that they contain
no. thing new. We would advise these gen /
tlemen, however, to be careful, in future, /
how they attack the characters Of men who I
stand far above them in every sense Of the
word. The man that YOU recently attempt /
ed to crush is this day one hundred votes
stronger in Harrison county than he was
before you made your attacks upon him
The leaders of the political party with which
you act are aware of this TACT, aud secretly
curse you for your imprudence, and not one
Of them attempts TO sustain your course
Better attend TO your own business IN future
for the Temperance cause is better without
such imprudent advocates, and YOU are not
likely 10 be of much service TO the LocOto-
CO party. The leaders, we think, would
willingly dispense with your services here
aiter.-RepuJiicaa.
gy-Do you not think, friend Hatton,
that you have done Messrs. Quinn and
Wright an act of injustice, by not publish
ing their short communication? You gave
one John Weaver, leading partizAn wing
of Franklin township, an opportunity OF
misrepresenting Mr.. Quinn, and then when
Mr.. Q. asks you to publish short reply to
Mr.. Weaver, YOU positively refuse him that
favor, and then turn in and SANDER him,
as YOU hare done in the article published
above. Common courtesy should have in
duced you to publish Mr.. Quinu's reply
We cannot see what grounds you have for
slandering Mr.. @, without it is that the ex-
element is getting too high. You are fear
full thal the honest voters Ul Harrison coun-
ty will think that where there is $50 much
smoke about Mr. Price, there must be some
fire." This is the only reason that you can
have for not publishing their connounica-
tions. Neither Mr.. Quinn or Mr.. Wright
ever attacked the character of Reynolds Il.
Price. as their former communications show.
They only spoke, what every man who IS
acquainted with Reynolds X Price, (as we
have been for the last Is years., will say;
and that is, that he is not what would be
termed a temperance man, 1.-The wishes to
"indulge" he does so; and according to
the present definition of temperance men,
Reynolds X. Price is not one Of them
They only speak of him, when such men as
yourself, undertake to plead up his great
temperance qualifications. which they know
is not correct. If the people of Harrison
county wish ,prohisory law passed by the
next Legislature, they will have to find
some other man than Reynolds X. Price to
assist in passing one.
There is another question we would like
for you to answer, and that's this--is a man
above being talked about when he is nomi-
mated for Office? Is the doctrines of Alex
ander Hamilton the motto in this nineteenth
century, that a man who holds or is running
for office, should not be spoken Of? One
would think SO, when they read your re-
marks above. Mr. Quinn and Mr.. Wright
were attending to their own business" as
you politely term it, when they spoke about
Mr.. Price.
If there is any "secret cursing" done, it
is by the leaders of the whig party. They
are fearful that their candidate is not as
''popuar" as they thought he was before
the convention. We have heardit intimated,
and pretty generally spoken of, that Rey-
nolds X. Price was SO unpopular. that a
number of his own p' litcal friends wished
him to decline being candidate, and for
the party 10 take up anew man in his stead.
Whether this will be done or not, time will
determine,
Neither Mr. Quinn or Mr., Wright can be
charged with doing any act that was not
right. They had right to speak Of Mr.
Price, as they saw proper and they have
done SO, and no one but a petty tyrant would
say to them, "mind your own business =
Such language is contemplate, and should
not be countenanced by any good citizen
This is free country. and every person in
it, has a right to speak and act as they
please, so they do not violate moral or civil
law And SO long as Democracy reigns
triumphant in this country, they will have
that right, but give old ancient conservative
whiggery the power, and our rights would
bo taken away from US, as the article we
have given above from last weeks Repub-
lican fully shows.
