The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1860-09-05

The Saratoga Springs correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury tells the following story:
Mr.. M who is true Democrat-has in
his possession portrait Of Abraham Lincoln
with whom he is familiarly acquainted. A few
days since an ardent admirer and political friend
of the Republican candidate for the Presidency
was at the house of Mr.. NJ, when the CONVEX
sation turned upon the subject of Lafitte, the
notorious buccaneer and freebooter Of the Gulf
of Mexico, who once had his headquarters at
Baratari. Mr. M. being little inclined to a
bit of sly fun, and well knowing the political
proclivities Of his friend inquired il he had any
knowledge ofthe youngest son Of Lafitte, at the
same time informing him that he had in his
possession portrait Of the younger Laftte,

few moments, Mr.. M. slowly removed his hand
from the lower part of the picture, when the
name Of Abraham Lincoln was disclosed to his
view, which completely paralized the visitor,
and for time rendered him speechess

An Abolition Bird.

The Republicans of the Cleveland District
have nominated one Riddle for Congress. Rid
die is real Abolition bird. At the meeting III
Cleveland, 60 mIodth over the hanging of John
Brown, he made speech, in which he said:
"a purer soul never entered the pearly gates Of
Paradise than John Brown's.' At an Aboli-
ton meeting in Oberlin, on the return Of the
rescuers from the Cleveland JAIL speaking cfthe
Fugitive slave Law, he went "fBr striking
down the Internal enactment whenever and
wherever met, and never giving it the dignity
ofa repeal" Riddle will undoubtedly bs e.
lected.
