The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1858-07-21

says mol the vote Of the people will not settle it,
it ought not to settle it; it never can settle It,
Very well, Mr.. SMITH, you will See after the
first Monday in Auaust whether it oan settle it
OF not. By.their votes upon that day the peo-
pie of Kansas, even your very partisans, will
vindIcate the President, and Mr.. DOUGLAS and
ourselves, in response to your elamor about the
non-settlement OF this question. The consti-
tuition was attempted to be withheld from the
people when they wished to pronounce upon it.
Therefore we opposed the Lecompton PLAN
1t is now submitted to vote of the people up
on the first Monday of August. Therefore, we
sustain the settlement to be effected by the En-
gllsh bill through the sufrages Of the people at
the polls. We never stood by the Republican
party. MIR: SMITH has no right to say that we
did. At the very beginning oftho controversy
we proclaimed the greet popular sovereignty
dogma; that upon the question of admission by
Congress it made no difference whether slavery
was excluded or not. If the people wanted
slavery they had the constitutional right to
have it. The Black Republicans in Congress
came, and stood by u.s. in this sublime position,
for about five mutes. Then like the hog, to use
Mr.. Smiths elegant simile, they returned to
their walow. Mr.. SMITH brings charges OF
lavish expenditure against the Administration.
There is nothing definite, however They are
that sort of loose and general accusations, COM

He says that provisions were sent out to the
Utah army in order to get votes Tor Lecomp-
ton. This is ingenious; the people had suppo-
sed that the food was sent out to feed the troops
to keep them from starving. He says again
that there was no cause to send the army, be-
cause the deluded Mormons have since seen the
error of their ways, and submitted to the Com
missioners. This is fallacious. The Morlnons
submitted because monaced by the army; they
would not have submitted to a mere commits
sion Mr.. SMITH says, that members Of Con-
gress have been bribcd, and alleges that as a
reason for opposition to Democracy. Come forth,
%, i'll conditioned fact! 60 in bulldog, and pin
him! Members Of Congress have been bribed;
but they were Republicans The bribes of tens
of thousands Of dollars in cash were expended
among them, and one Of their number, MATTE
SON, was convicted and expelled. No Democrat
was ever convicted oftaking bribes. How ma
ny more Of the Republicans were guilty Of sell
ing their votes for so much money Congress was
unable to ascertain. 1t is also established that
their state officers in Wisconsin accepting brides
to an enormous amount; and this being so, we
think their speakers should allude to it only
when they are sure that there is no one present
with a bull dog.
The resolutions reported by the committee
in the afternoon we give below. 1t will be seer
that the Republican party of Ohio has no poll
cy. 1t offers no definite enunciation Of princi
pies, either for the domestic affairs of the state
or for application to the policy of the Federal
Union. Vague assertions and false charges
against the Democracy constitute its whole stool
in trade. 1t has no past, aflirmatively, and i
proposed to have no future. We do not thinl
that party can succeed upon such basis a
this. The four corners of the black republican
platform are these First, to worship the mig
ger; second, to villify President BUCHANAN ant
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS third to lie about til
Democracy generally; lourth to chatter abou
HENRY B. PAYNE, S. s. Cox and the Ohio States
