The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1858-01-27

0sTThe Cadz Republican, OF last week pub
fishes the Kansas resolutions passed by our leg
isIature, and seems to think that, latter such
decided expression of opinion" all Democrats
ought TO forsake the administration of Old
"BucK." We hope we shall be excused for fol
lowing these resolutions and "having entire con
fdence in the edisinterestedness, the integrity and
the ability of the present Chief Magistrate"
The Repq5licaa says; ...
After such decided expression of opinion, or
! the part ofthe Democratic members of the Leg
stature, in opposition to the admission of Kan
sas under the Lecompton Constitution, will the
CadIz Sentinel, and few LocolocO leaders about
| town, continue to favor the admission? Will
they continue to justify james Buchanan's
course, who seems determined to force Kansas
into the Union as Slave State in opposition
to the wishes of large majority of her citizens:
| Or will they, now, cease their abuse of Douglas
and admit that he is right in opposing the con.
summation Of such monstrous fraud? As they
are, now, no doubt, in posSesessi0n of all ''the
facts may we not hope that they will cease to
advocate the admission of Kansas as Slave
| State.
The resolutions, containing this decided ex-
preston ofopinion, were published in the "Seh-
tinel,"a short time ago The following is the
first resolution, and sufficient for our present
purpose:
Resolpel By the General assembly of the State
Of Ohio, That we have entire confidence in the
disnterestedness the integrity and the ability
Of the present Chief Magistrate Of the United
States, and that his administration commands
our cordial and undivided support.
This resolution cordially endorses the admin
is:ration, just as we have done all along. We
think the President and his able and patriotic
administration, have strictly adhered, in Their
Kansas policy to the great doctrine of ''NoN-IN-
rERvENTIoN," and the Cincinnati PLATFORM
His Nicaragua policy should commend itself to
the good and just Of all parties. Even if "this
decided expression of opinion were binding on
us, we should certainly continue 10 justify JAS.
Buchanan's course" when it commands the
cordial and undivided support OF the propo-
gators OF "ths decided expression ofopnion.''
We have sustained the course the admins
tration, because we think it legal just, and prop
er, in every respect. We have, therefore, Civ
en- it our cordial and undivided support"
The President is not Determined to force
Kansas into the Union against the wishes of a
large majority of her citizens" He cannot force
her into the Union. Is any man so simple as
to suppose so? He can only give his assent
when she asks admission.
The President can only recognize one MAORI
ty, and that a legal one-one that has made it.
self known in legal manner-THE MAJORITY AT
THE BALLoTBox.
This is the majority that governs this coun-
try not majority of pestilent drones that re-
fuse to 90 te the ballot box.
The Lecompton Constitution was formed
through the legally expressed wilp' of a ma
jority of the people Of Kansas at the BALLOT BOX.
We have always advocated the admnission
Of Kansas as free or Slave State, just as her
people might decide. We should prefer that it
should be Free but if the people there, following
the foolish advice of the Cadiz Republican, and
such pa pers as told them not to vote, permitted it
to be made Slave State, the responsibility is not
with us, it must be saddled some where else
! We shall continue to give "cordialsupport" to
the present administration, let the fanatics in
and out of Kansas act as they may.
