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

from Congress, and no more subject to compul-
sorry decency by the presence of the Southern
gentlemen whom his taste leads him to abuse,
Mr.. Bingham is as bold as Ancient Pistol.
"a fico for the world and wordngs base;
! He spoke Of Africa and golden joys"
We dare say that Bingham denounced
Southern men Just as bitterly at Washington;
but then; like Pistol eating Fluellens leek, al.
though he curses roundly, ho takes care that
the objects Of his vilfcation shall not hear him.
We warrant, that he roars you as "as sweet as
stwere any nightingale" in the presence of the
men themselves. Mr.. Bingham's next essay
was to denounce the Democracy for having
fought the Mexican war; for having favored
the acquisition OF territory and the of our coun-
try. This part ofhis speech was very wretch
ed attempt to say something like the fiery
Rhetoric ofTom Corwin, in that famous pas
sage about bloody hands and hospitable graves"
| BInghams intention was good enough to say
something as strong as Corwin ever said; but
Bingham is not Corwin. After having reveng-
ed Mexico, and denounced the "Hell Of Ameri-
can Despotism," which term he applies to this
Union, Bingham fell foul of the Nebraska act,
and Douglas came in for it again. Here again
Bingham displayed very great willingness Of
intention, but shocking poverty of invention.
The terms he applied to Douglas are all to be
found in the writings of Long John Of Chicago,
who, we have no doubt, can furnish Bingham
with fresh stock of epthets for use in this
canvass. Mr.. Bingham now tried to soar a.
bove "buttons;' and with a lot of fiery elo-
quencc and splendid metaphor about CLEANS
from the North Star striking the Child of AT
rica, he put the Niger out to nurse, and con-
cludcd his magnificent station. His speech
was nexcusabe for its spiteiul, yet impotent
abuse Of President Buchanan, Douglas, &c
There was no presentation Of facts no argu
ment it was like "a tale told by an idiot, full Of
sound and fury, signiIying nothing
After Mr.. Bingham had concluded, Mr. Ca
leb B. Smith, of Cincinnati was called for
Mr., Smith is an old acquaintance OF ours and an
able man. Most of the Calabs are. There is
Caleb Cushing who is man Of very fine parts.
Mr.. Smith is no favorite with his party, and
what is more he never will be.
| He is neither a fanatic, a hypocrite, nor
sneak; AMI therefore they do not like him. Some
might say he is little of all three, bat we do
not for, with all his faults, Caleb is rather a
flvOrite of ours than otherwise. We kno him
to be able, and, he may be honest; hut we think
not bit too honest However. let us thank
God for his ability, honesty may come after.
The President in answer to the call said, that
Mr.. Smith was not present; but he was pointed
out in his seat, and boisterously applauded by
the delegates of the few southern counties rep
resented. He then mounted the platform, and
spoke with his accu;tomed vigor and fuency.
Smith is like all the rest Of that small but in
terestng Smith family, wise in his generation.
lie knew that however that narrow minded
Douglass, it would not do to 60 before the peo-
pie with an issue affirming the Illinois Senator
to be q creature" d "slave," 'men'al."
Therefore Mr.. SMITH eschewed Douglas; and
proceeded to arroisn Henry b. Paine, S. s. Coz
and the Ohio Statesman. Mr.. SMITH declares
that we re opened the wounds oCblceding Kan
sas lie is mistaken. All that cant and blath
er we never ceased to despse. We did Oppose
the admission OF the State under the L3eomp-
ton constitution, believing it not to be the act ant
} dead OF the people. We also denounce the
shameless conduct ofthe Black Republican fac
titionists, who stayed away from the polls il
Kansas, and thus instigated and enablen
: small minority to attempt an usurpation.
The Black Republicans in Kansas mperillet
: the free state cause by relusinn to exercise th'
suffrage; the Black Republicans Of Ohio secret
ly favored the making of it into a slave State
: in order that they might have a clamor for the
t advancement Of CHASE in 1860. The question
! is now submitted to the people, and we are con
tent We shall abipe by their decision on IL.
n first Monday Of August; that is democracy ant
. popular sovereignty. Mr.. SMITH willnot abid
: the decision Of the people, and that is Blac
: Republcanism. The Black Republican Cover

= to remember these things when he makes an
d other speech, because we are prepared to stan
'f accountable for all the positions we took in th
i Lecompton controversy. The Republicans hay
, backed down, in ludicrous hurry from the sir
y gle vote they gave looking towards popular SOY
10 ereignty; but we have not backed down from j

it ties, which is very prudent upon his part, but

r Of tile Breakfast Table complains, that there
IS a class of men with an ll-conditioned lot
