The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1857-08-20
speech OfIIenry n. Payne Ia Accept
ing The Democratic Nomination
for Governor.

Inasmuch as the Black Republican papers are
loud and bOisterous in their condemnation Of the
speech made by Mr.. Payne in accepting the
Democratic nomination for Governor, we give
below the most extended report of it that we
have seen. 1t is an admirable speech snuncia-
ting sound democratic doctrine, and will be
warmly approved by every Democrat in the
State:
Mr.. Payne said he appeared before the con-
vention TO accept the honor conferred upon him,
and to return his thanks for the distinguished
preof of their confidenee. He priced it more for
it being conferred at aatime when a nomination
is not equivalent to an election. Now, success
is a prize not to be won without an effort The
issues ofthe approaching canvass exceed in mag
nitude and value those ofany preceding election.
The enemy is numerous, unscrupulous and des-
perate. To meet them is to enter upon an ar
duous conflict, in which blows are to be given
and received. With pride and alacrity, for this
reason, / accept the invitation to be standard
bearer. congratulate you that we are no lon
ger to carry on defensive warfare Popular
sovereignty doctrines have already been pro-
claimed by the Cincinnati National Convention
tho doctrines so startling on their enunciation
to the anti sIaUery element of te north, and occa-
stoned the organization of the Republican or sec
tional party, have been endorsed by the people
in the election Of President Buchanan.
Under his administration Kansas, protected
alike from New England and the South, is work
ing out the peaceable fruits of righteousness
At day not distant or doubtful, as from the be-
ginning had been predicted Kansas will be ad
mittcdnto to the galaxy OF States with free
State constitution by the votes of her own peo-
ple abolishing forever slavery in her midst, thus
furnishing an application of practical Democrat,
ic doctrines.
We take stand against the reasonable schemes
of our political opponents. The Republican or
ganization has accomplished its destiny 1t now
must be dismissed from the stage of action and
Ohio committed her twin sister on the peac eful
shores Of Salt Lake.
Our opponents are to understand that the
Dret Scot decision is to be an issue in the COM
ing canvass and that we are prepared to meet
it on its merits. SO far it is good laW. The Su-
premc. Court have decided that white man is
superior TO a black man, which is in accordance
with history, and it is sound law.
Again, that Court have decided that slave
taken to free State and returned, is subject
to freedom or slavery as the laws ofthe State t.
which he returns has enacted.
! This is now the recognized law Of this land
and England. These are the main points Of the
decsion-as to the remaining details, they are i'm
material, but i'll conformity with common sense
! The bred SOFT decision is a sound and staple
decision. am no prophet, but predict that
that party which enters upon crusade again,
| il will have an existence as brief and termina-
ton as ingloros as thlt o, tho Republican party.
| We must 60 in with the spirit of our brethren
whose victories we have just rejoice in. We mus
invade the enemies territory, must carry the wal
into Africa.
This Union could NOT exist au hour without
the surty OF the return of iugitiyes from slavery
when claimed under law.
The Black Republican party, in violation o
their oath to the Uuion, have attempted to null
ify these national measures. They havs denied
to foreign States the hospitalites of our jails
to shield their slaves. Have strven by ha6ea
cpplts act to denude the master Of slaves Of oul
sister States Of his rights and to bring the State
! in collision with the General Government. ThS
is virtual and moral treason.
We call upon the Black Republican chiefs tt
answer TO these charges Of the Indictment a.
gainst them. Also we charge them in another
count for the unwarrantabe, unnatural and un
christian efforts TO elevate black race to an @
quality Of citizenship and rights with the whites
Witness the miserable language of connlitte
Of the Legislature, in which the language Of TIN
decision Of ChiefJustice fancy is spoken Of a
that of Jesuistcal Catholic. Again, that obi
Gus decision as to taxes in our State, discrimi
mating in favor ofpi|yleged coruorations strilin;
at the very yitals al State rights, was approved
and applauded by the Legislature, who with in
decent haste, confirmed their action thereto

them, and demand that they be put on thei

Another matter to be charged home upon ther
is, that the money obtained by heavily laid tax

Treasury to be plundered, and had not the pow
