The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1856-07-09
Fremont Ratlacntion rTeetInr.

dency in Philadelphia on the 18th Of last June,
and our Republican friends in Cadiz thought IL
was best in order to make any kind offs show,
to not rat-ify the nominations until the 4th Of
July-two weeks after they were made. Their
county convention was called at the same time
These two meetings were placed on the same
day to give the ratification meeting some kind
of show
At two o'clock on that day the Court House
bell rang to call the vast aSsenablage together,
which consisted at the opening Of the meeting,
Of 80 Fremont men, % Buchanan men, and 13
Fillmore men. "a,
J. II. McMath, (who never fails to make mo-
tions,) moved that the Hon. Charles Warfcl, the
present distinguished Senator from this district
take the chair.
Lewton, in consideration of the large vote
(1) that he (G. NJ. Price) had received for Au-
ditor, moved that he act as Secretary.
McMath movea again that Samuel George, jr.
act as assistant Secretary.
DR.. McGrew, through the Kindness of his
heart moved that the reporters for the Press
be invited to take seats inside of the Bar, How
kind!
Isaac Lewis, to show how well he could rat
ify the nomination of a Shareholder, moved that
a committee of five be appointed on resolutions.
The co nmttee consisted OIL Lewis, L. Hearn,
Judge Hunter, NJ Mccall and s. B. Shotwcll.
After the committee had retired, I. Lewis
moved that j. H. McMath, Esq, address the
meeting. 1t was necessary for McMath to make
this speech to correct the impression that had
gone through the country that he intended to
vote for Buchanan. We listened very atten-
lively to his speech to see how man who had
taken the following oath, and administered it to
scores ofothcrs could vote for Roman Cptl,olic
for the highest office in tie gift Of the people.
"Ido 9o1emn1y s,oear htat I uoiH nerer uote .to,
a Roman Catl,olic for any Office WlateUer IN the
gytof the people"
He said he was very much embarrassed
Shouldn't wonder. That this vas his first APP
pearance. He should appear once more and
then quit For of all speeches VIC ever listened
to it took the lead. 1t was nothing but contra
dictions throughout. The audience were very
restless during its delivery. No enthusiasm
whatever,
Lewton was next called upon. He said he
wanted to take care of our postcrity. We tho't
of Dent. Said he had always acted with
the Democratic party. Did you when you
left Coshocton county bet,ceen t,Oo days? Was
afraid to get excited. Thought there was dam
ger of it. Wouldn't it be awful if he did. He
might pitchtork somebody. Talked great deal
aboutdebauehery. Where's Hattons certif-
Gates? Made desperate splurge about Pierce.
Said he had voted for him. His inidel associ-
ates says he didn't. He said the administration
had brought forward measure and had stuck
to it. What a pity. Quoted great deal from
the Richmond Enquirer. Well bet two cents
that he never saw Richmond Enquirer. He
then commenced making statements about the
editor of the Sentinel and said he could prove
| them from the record; and before the meeting
was over he got up and acknowledged that he
had wlfully and maliciously Hel about the edi
tor of the Sentinel. He allowed that the people
were not capable of picking the Kernel out of
! the Cincinnati Platform. But he was. Won
derful man! Called every prominent Democrat
eithera scamp or a scoundreL 1twould make
them feel 50 bal ifthey should hear that he had
said so. Said the Cincinnati Convention had
done what rascal would not do. He ought to
remember that the members Of that Convention
were not like himself They were not raseals
He justified the driving away of votes in New
Orleans. Said that JEFF. Davis was Secretary
of State. Shows how we'll he is posted. And
then he quit.
The resolutions were then reported They
consist of the old stereotype slang about Slavery
Freedom, &c. They sounl beautiful for par
| ty that is running Shareholder for the Presi-
dency.
Joe. Sharon was then called upon for speech.
Said he should vote for the nominations out of
consistency. What beautiful pink Of consis-
tency he is. Thought the Democratic party
had gone astray. So does every other tory
Said he should vote for Buchanan if any Dem
ocrat would prove a certain proposition. Altho'
the proposition could be easily proven, there is
not Democrat that will put himself to that
much Trouble. They don't want him to vote for
Buchanan. They have votes enough without
such cltapsa as Joe. Sharon. They want him to
stay where his nature and his instinct naturally
leads him-with the Black Republican party
They don't want any ,ooalt be oristorm ike him,
,oho turns up his nose at every poor man hemeets,
to vote for as good a man as James Buchanan.
His speech was stale to the audience and they
appreciated it by generally leaving the house.
The famous R. NJ, Lyons, of Stock township,
was next called upon. We will give Mr.. Lyons
the credit of saying that his speech was the
nearest like aspecch of anything we listened to
that day.
Ateradopting the resolutions anl quarreling
about some amendments the meeting adjourned
sine die. Thus passed away the first -ifcation
for Fremont in Cadiz. -.,..&3 Var

men, while Black Republicansm is insulting
them to vote for their candidates for the Presi-
