The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1858-08-18

eSF Every once in a while our ncigllbOr, Dick
puts On an increased quantity Of ''Oil cake IoIk'
dignity. and says thai hereafter he will not con-
descend to hotire the elilor ofthe "SsGarlr-
Dur readers and his own know that as often as
he says so. he tells falschOOd, Cor in his last
issue he devoscs a good part Of Eour columns 10
oar especial benefit lie doa't want to keep up
a controversy with the editor ofthe "!SenfiaeI."
lie acts on the defensive strictly" and great
defense he makes OF il truly lie don't dare to
deny our charges ur he knows that they are
true. Nat he seeks to get rid Of their effect by
saying that decent people disapprove OF our
course, 'and deplore the existence of our paper
in their midst" Then -lor fear that is not
complete defense, as he acts on tie defense
strictly" lac says again, "that respectable Dem
ocratS condemn our course, f" &c. Now the poor
soul thinks that after he has said all this, that
certainly good Republicans will not believe what
we may say OF him. lie is not vet sure that
the 'tleense' is complete. \ better ,lelens:;
would be to compel the Republicans to quit
reading our paper, and thus keep them in igno-
rance OF his ncannesS. And he gets his bosom
friend "qai," who ''has great confidence in the
wisdom and mercy of God," anil much "iaith
in humanity to tell The Republicans to quit
taking the "!Seatiaei,' or tkey shall not be elec-
tel 10 c6ice;'' and worse yet, they will Le set
down MS having "low instincts That wepub-
liSl such "lies, filth and low LlackglIaidsrn' in
our paper as to make even the correspondent
"QHr' blush. How modest. We would give
ten dollars to see either him or Dick blush
They might get red on certain occasions about
the s;llS, but to "blu,h" would he an inpossi-
biIity.
As specimen Of gallantry, morality and
''goancSS," after using all tho hard terms he
could about uS,hc bravely proceeds to attack our
wife, by charging her with repeating "private
talk, and being tattlcr, though he is so kind
and has such "hltll' in humanity as to believe
that she does it in the "nnoccncc orher heart"
This is a specimen Of what "free press and a
highly moral paper ought to publish.
Quit evidently thinks that the Republican
is highly moral paper, calculated to cnlighten
the intellect, purify the heart, and improve and
cnnoblc the youth of the country. Yet we think
Quit has not improved much by reading it
lie di>approves Of "billingSgate" and low 'black
guardiSm' in a paper and as as a specimen of
what piece Of fine writing for moral paper
ought to contain, he gives the following polite
words and phrases applied TO US and the "ISnti-
net" Satanic press" Charley the slave"
Glow instincts, "lies," ''filth," "ve," Glow
low blackguard paper" "hy-
ena," "lalschoods,' ''baSe," criminal" ''hang-
dog noosng," nuisance "buzzarl," ''car-
rion,' ''pcst in society and others of a like
nature. ! we would not use harsh terms in
speaking Of our neighborS, and would follow the
example of Quit and the "RepuLL'can," and
apply the above polite phrases he thinks we
might REFORM" and become "a respectable cit
izcn.' For he has great Faith in humanity"
and much confidence in the mercy and good
ness Of God" 10 such an extent does this con-
iidence go, that he believes and publicly pro
claims, that the thief the murderer, the just
and the unjust, the bcne factor and the assassin,
tic righteous and the wicked, the pure and the
vile, will all be saved together
Well, may be that kind of talk about morali-
ty, dcccncy, dignity and mercy of God, by a
person whose practice is SO contrary to his
teaching may do "to catch gudseons WITH but
it can have no effect upon sensible people
When we have occasion, we sometimes speak
severely of men, but we have not yet got so low,
and have so little regard for the decencics and
prorrietics Of lie, as to make war upon defense
less rmsen. The honor of that kind of war
fare belongs to the Cadiz Rrp.Licaa, and its
God fearing correspondent "Quit."
