The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1860-10-10


EWe copy the following article from the
Washington Examiner, one of the soundest and
most judcious papers in Pennsylvania:
Douglas working for Lincoln.
We ask every voter whose eye shall rest up.
on this column, to read the following too
truthful article, copied from the Harrisburgh
Patriot d Onion. For ourselves, Individually
we must confess to great falling. off of conf.
dence in the integrity and fair intentions oI
Mr.. Douglas. We owe this wanting Of faith to
the peculiar line oi iconduct adopted by that gen.
tlcman, and Which, to our mind, indicates
conviction OF his own inevitable defeat and
determination, founded upon this conviction,
to defeat Breckenridge and Bell and elect Lin.
coin. His late extraordinary stumping tour
through the South, in which he labored so sed-
ulously TO prepare the Southern mind for the
election ofa Republican President, and also, his
efforts whilst there to form combinations in ia
vor OF Bell, to defeat Breckenridge (the only
candidate to be feared by Lincoln,) are acts Of
significant import. But, aboYe all, his unwar-
ranted interference in Pennsylvania and New
York to prevent fusion-dhs only means of de-
featug Lincoln!-prove, beyond a doubt, his
deep interest in the plot to elect a Republican
President. Democrats be assured ofthis. We
are no false alarmists. Read the article Here
it is:
No sane man can doubt that Mr. Douglas
intends to break up the Democratic party and
elect Lincoln. lie knows that there is not the
least chance OF his election, and he means that
no other Democrat shall have chance, II he
can prevent it. His object now is to disorgan-
ize and destroy the Democratic party with the
hope that some new combination will be made
ovt Of the fragments, which may elevate him to
the Presidency in 1854. The first step to-
wards the promotion OF this scheme is the cleo
tion of Lincoln and for this he is working with
all his might In the South, where he has
few sraggling supporters, his policy is to defeat
Breckinridge who is sustained by the great
mass of the party, by combining with the
friends of Bell and Everett. Through this ar
rangement he may succeed in taking several
States from Breckenridge and the Democratic
party, and giving the Bell party some local
strength at the South; but he has no idea OF
rendering substantial assistance to Bell He IS
deluding the Union party with the notion that
he is avoring them, when such is not the TACT.
Lincoln is his candidate Every friend OF
Bell and Everett knows that their only chance
Of an election lies in throwing the choice OF
President into the House; and that, no matter
how many electoral votes they obtain IN the
South by the assistance of the Douglas men,
Bell cannot be elected President without GER
tain number ofelectoral votes are carried against
Lincoln in the North. Mr. Douglas is laborng
to prevent the vote Of any Northern State from
being cast against Lincoln. There is only one
way Of defeating Lincoln in Pennsylvania and
New York, and Mr.. Douglas opposes that way
This is proof positive that he is for Lincoln IN
being elected rather than either Bell or Breck-
inridge. The triumph Of the Republicans now
is necessary to his scheme in 1864. Does any
man doubt this? Let him look at the proof
The opponents of Republicans in New York
had about concluded an arrangement for a u
mum Of the conservative voters OF the State a,
gainst Lincoln, which would have secured his
defeat. Mr.. Douglas heard Of it, went to New
York and broke up the arrangement. This
was affected by simple process. The Douglas
party of New York belongs to few managers,
such as Dean Richmond and Peter Cagger.
What they say is law. Douglas issued his or
the road is opened for Republican victory.
Would any man counsel such course who did
not want Lincoln elected?
The Democrats Of Pennsylvania united upon
plan TO consolidate the vote Of the party a.
gainst Lincoln. Mr.. Douglas came to Penn
sylvania to bleak up this union, and counseled
his f'Teads 10 divide the party by running disor
ganizing hchet; hut, thanks to the sturdy indie
pendence Of the Pennsylvania Democracy, they
are not to be controlled by any man. There
are no Richmonds in this State to o,0n the Dem
ocrtic party. We have some men among US
who imagine themselves Rchmonds and Gag
gers, but the contempt with which the party
treats their mandates must convince them Of
their mistake. The Democrats Of Pennsylva-
MIA cannot see that it is either good policy or
good Democracy to elect Lincoln, by encourag-
ing straight-o out Douglas ticket.
| Let no man be deceived Mr.. Douglas is
working for Lincoln, and so are those in this
State who follow his lead. Let not the friends
Of Bell fall into the trap set for them. The
man who opposes union at the North is as much
opposed to Bell as Breckinridge, and more for
Lincoln than either. .
