The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1854-09-27
From the CarroltOn Companion.
Hon joseph r. Swan.

This gentleman is the nominee Of the Fu-
sionists, for supreme Judge. He is now a
rabld anh-Nebraska man and expects Free
Soilers to vote for him simply because he
bawls out "anti-Nebraska." That our Free
Soil friends may know someting about Mr.
Swans former course and the position he oc-
cupies upon questions connected with slave
ry, we give place below to a resolution pas.
sed at a Convention held in Columbus on
the 18th day of February last, over which
he presided. The Chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions was John w. Andrews,
Esq, regular Ehig. The following is one
Of the resolutions passed, as we find them
published in the Ohio Stale journal.
ResoLped, That this meeting is disposed.
in good faith, to stand by the compromise Of
1850; and Il at we intend so far as in us lies,
to see to it that they in like good faith stand
by the compromise of 1907 .... .lr
This resolution pleged Mr.. Swan, and the
whole convention, TO stand by the compro-
mises Of 1850, which consisted of bills or
ganizing the territories of New Mexico and
Utah, without the Wilmot provlso and with
the fugitive slavelaw. Yes, Mr. Swan was
disposed 10 stand by the fugitive slave
law, a thousand times more obnoxious to
Free Sellers than the Nebsaska bill; and now
he asks Free Sellers to forget everything and
rush to his support because of his bawling
out anti-Nebraska. And we have other
gentlemen nearer home pursuing precisely
"a similar course. Mr.. Eckley OF this coun,
ty thn,, pI4 at nj H.,
ber from this county, attended the same
meeting, voted for the same resoluticn-yet
now he bawls out can't Nebraska" and
would like 10 be candidate for Congress
upon such an issue. 0 shame upon such
demagogueism Is there a consistent Free
Soiier in this county, or district, who will
SO far stupify himself to vote for men who
only last February, during the pendency
ofthe Nebraska bill, declared their adhesion
to the compromise measures of 1850, passed
under the Fillmore administration? We do
not believe there is. Such conduct DISPLAYS
in glazing colors the utter hypocricy and
dishonesty o these men. Their conduct is
in perfect keeping with that of the whg
leaders of Ohio generally. Wings profess
to be very anti-6avery just now and willing
to fuse with Free SulIers wherever they
think they can beat democrat. But in a
whig district they are hands off. In Chilli,
cothe district, in this State, Mr.. John L. Tay.
lor, whig, has been the Representative in
Congress the last forty years, He voted for
the compromise of 1850, including the Flu
gltive slave lar. He was renomna!ed by
The wings and elected At the last ses-
sion Of Congress he voted og0t0st the repeal
Of the Fugitive Slave Law, and now he is
reSominated second time, by the wings of
and will be again elected by trem. But, in
this district, the district. Andrew Stuart, a
democrat. voted t9rslhe repeal Of the fugitive
law, SNb ogat1eH the Nebraska BILL. Yet
Wigs Call uponFree Sellers and Abolition
lists ~ unite with them to defeat him, and
vote for IL man who hurrahed for General
Taylor, with bis 280 slaves, in 1848; and
for General Scott in 1859, on the Baltimore
platform. the most ultra pro-slayery plat
form, ever adopted by any convention in
the country! In the name oftru;h and con
sistency, what are we coming Ia? Was ev-
er political rascality so barefAced?
