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

the rescue, to repel the insolent INVADER! Then,
what does it matter whether the enemies ofthe
Constitution are invading northern rights or
southern rights eastern rights or western rights
when they violate the Constitution Of our coun-
try? Every true friend of the Republic, every
Democrat, every lover Of his country is bound
to rally to throw himself into the breach, and
repel the enemy, whether that enemy inyades
the rights ofsouth.rn States or northern States,
Of southern men or northern men, under the
Constitution .'
Hence you see, my friends, that the contest
in which we are now engaged rises to dignity
and Importance far above these petty contests
and partizan warfare, where merely the admin
istratoni of the government and the spoils of
Office are to be the result Of victory. 1t is
Question of fidelity to the constitution, and
through the Constitution, of the perpetuity of
the Union. 1t is question Of self government
Throughout the world, question ofthe equality
/ Of the States question Of civil and religious
lhefty question whether man is to be pro-
scribed because Of the place of his birth. Thus
all the great elements Of our government are IN
4 volyed in this contest. The combined enemy,
4 Of know nothings, abotionists and all the other
iisms, presume upon the intelligence OF the poo-
pie by supposing that if they can only succeed
din getting traitors from democracy, renegade
a democrats for their standard bearers, they can
coax the democrats into their ranks. Whatever
they are, in the Philadelphia convention, in the
New. York know nothing convention, or in the
different States, they hold that nan must
i hlye been traitor to his principles traitor to
4 his friends, in order to be eligible to Office under
4 their reign! [Cheers,] The merits of their can
didates consists in the fact that they are rene-
4 sldes from democracy. CONFESS however, that
devea this fact is something in their favor, for it
shows that they have not sinned against the
IconStitution solopg as their supporters have
\ They must have been apostate5 from the true
\ Ichurch in order to be deacons in the new one!
ttTgemenlous applause The marits of these
d consists in the fact chat they were onc3 in good
staalng in the tria political church of the coun-
dtry. They apo;tatizel from that church; thay
have aburel the principles in which their fGthers
and mothats reared them; they, have prqyej re-
