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

The following sensible article from the Logan
county Gazette, is a truthful expose Of the wire
working by which some members Of Congress
FROM the North manage to keep themselves in
Office, And it IS peculiarly applicable in this
District where the same system Of humbug-
gerry is being practised to its fullest extent:--
The Members of Congress from Ohio, who
are Of the Republican pursuasion, have devised
scheme to insure their perpetual continuance
| in Congress. 1t is rather an ingenious piece of
| Mechanism, though it is very possible it may
not prove profitable to the inventors. We shall
know better after while p
| These Ohio Republicans come home and say
to their constituents:
"FELLOw- -CTTIzENs: You are aware that the
South has far ADLER delegation in Congress than
the North.s This gives them vastly the adyan-
taget and places US in very unfortunate position
/ The reason Of that superiority, fellow citizens,
consists in the fact that the South continue
I their members during life. Practice makes per
feet. Experience renders them sagacious, and
they head us on all occasions. IL however,
| you would initiate them in this, we would be-
come in time, to he rs smart as the slayeocrats.
and then we would see that the North got her
rights.'
greater humbug-a more obvious trick
grosser piece of selCseeking demagogusm, it
has not been our fortune lately to encounter
That the South has the ablest delegation, ia
ken as whole, may I've conceded; but there are
reasons for this which our Ohio gentlemen do
not mention. In the first place, the South gen
orally selects her representatives from among
her abeSt and best men; and this is by no means
the universal rule in the North. But in the
second place. and chiefly the southern gentle
man educateS his son with an exclusive view to
the duties of craftsmanship; and when he at
tains seat in Congress, he is prepared to enter
at once upon the career Of distinction He has
not, by years Of laborious effort, TO diyest him
self of the habits and thoughts of the shop or
the law office; he has not to becn anew the
study of a profession Of which he is ignorant,
and for which the habits Of lifetime unfit him
On the contrary, he assumes the place to which
he was specially educated and prepared. When
one OF her illustrious sons dies she always has
another to fill his place. Choun and Butler
die; but Hammond has hardly taken bis seat
in the Senate, when every precinct in the Union
is familiar with his name and fame. These are
the secrets of Southern superiority.
II the people of til Allen district for exam
pie, think that by returning Nichols for any in
definite series of years, they can make him the
equal of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, we hope they
will try the experiment and reap the accruing
advantages. We have not sufficient confidence
IN the event to recommend trial of the project
here. ~ .... . ..l... ..r .

We don't know when We felt SO indigna Mt as
we did on last Tuesdayin Columbus, when We
read the following notice Of our distinguished
townsman's speech before the black republican
convention in that city in the leading organ o.
black republicanisp in Ohio the Ohio State
Joapalo that date: @ Ya
- After the several committees had retired
Hon, John A, Bingham addressed the Conyen.
ton. lie made quite lengthy speech, which
it is impossible to give at length
And then as il to add "insult to injury" the
same paper has the following notice Of speech
delivered at the same Convention by one Caleb
b. Smith: rs" @
Hon. Caleb B. Smith was then called for and
made aspeech, which was well received by the
Convention. We regret we have not space for
it, but we may notice it hereafter
Was anything more insulting ever offered to
Harrison county? We shall demand Of the ed
tor Of the Journal when we are at Columbus,
on the 29th, "pistols and coffee for two for this
insult to our county.

learn with surprise that uneasiness is lslt by
the people as to the treatment they may receive
nom the army. Acting under the two-e Ia ol :
legations Of citizens and soldiers, we may be
supposed to comprehend the rights Of the peo.

which govern US as a military body. A refer.

the general government has guarded the rights
Of citizens against any encroachment.
The army has duties TO perform here in exe-

Q1y Gov. Chase has appointed Hon. Cyrus
Mendcnhall, of Jefferson county, director Of
the Ohio Penitentiary in place of Gen. Sphinx,
resigned. Mr.. M, although a political opponent,
we must be permitted TO say, is one Of the best
of men. Humanity and kindness are his prin
ciple attributes; but according to our notion oil
what a Director or Warden Of a Penitentiary
should be, we must say, with all due respect to
our friend, that we consider him Unfit for the
position to which he has been appointed. "The
milk of human kindness runs so steadily thro'
his veins, that we fear he will be imposed upon,
by either the leeches that hang around, or the
hardened conVicts that are inside Of the peni.
tentiary. RigidnesS, strictness and justness
should be the main attributes to govern that in
stitution. Oar friend we fear could not be Ell
ther rigid or strict enough.
We learn that the Directors have removed
the present Warden, Hon. John Ewing and
appointed in his. stead L. g. Van Slyke, of Co
lunbus. Mr.. Ewing we considered gentleman
but Mr., Van Slyke is a man that we have new
er had any confidence in whatever.
