The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1860-03-28
A Preacher DriVem from the PuE-
pit for taking the part of the OPP
pressed Working WAN.

The opposition press are filled with CLOWN!
accounts OF men driven out of the Southern
States on account of their antislavery feeling
in every case, we venture the assertion, the per
son thus compelled to leave having either tam
pered with the slaves or expressed opinions
which led to the conclusion that they woult
gladly act as agents of the Underground Rail
road. The people of the South regord sucl
men as the people of the North do horse hieue
as unsafe men to dwell in their midst and hence
gave them notice to quit. Each Of these epi
sodes in Southern lie is magnifed and distorted
and columns ofabuse are heapcd upon South
ern masters, by editors who exult over eact
cargo OF live stock brought by the Underground
Railroad, and who were open in their praise o
John Brown and the band OF horse thieves anG
murderers who went to Harper's Ferry to free
the slaves and to arm them to take the lives o
their masters and sermon after sermon i
preached to show the intolerance OF the men o
| the South, who, at a time when the dominant
/ party in the Northern States is openly in the
cause, men who are suspected ofstealing slaves
are not allowed to remain in the midst of @
people who live in daily alarm Of servil insur-
rection brought on by the aid of these men and
their less courageous allies in the Northern
States, take the safest and usual method of rid
ding the country of their presence, by ordering
him TO leave the State
or the intolerance the North these editors
have no ccnsure to offer-over it they have nc
tears to she'd
just now many of the operatives of New Eng
land are on strife for living wages. In such
a contest, :he capital Of New England is array
ed against its labor, and he who dares to take
the part of the working man against the man
OF money, is sure to feel the vengeance of that
bloted wealth which makes up large share o
New England Abotionism, who prate so much
of free thought flee speech, free labor and free
men, but whose high sounding professions are
II living lie upon their conduct. An instance o
recent occurrence, in which these "free speech
men showed themselves in their true colors
has transpred in Massachusetts, in which q
Clergyman, who dared to sympathze with the
shoemakers then on strike, was prescribed by
these moneyed tyrants an account OF which is
thus giyen in the Boston TRAILER, a paper o
strong Black Republican proclvties, and o
course an organ Of the employers:
an consequence of the active part taken by
the Rev. W. G. Babbock in behalf of the str
kers, he has been dismissed from his pastora
office as minister Of the Unitarian Church, ir
South Natick Yesterday he preached his vale
dictory discourse. An effort was made to pre-
vent his occupying the pulpit, and the Parish
Committee sent a Constable with orders TO ar
rest any one who attempted to enter; but the
strikers assembled in such force that it was no
deemed prudent to interfere, and he went il
without molestation and preached to large
congregation than has ever met there for TWEEN
ty-five years"
Where was such intolerance" ever showr
in Southern State than is here depicted?--
Merely because Clergyman dared to feel 70
the downtrodden and the oppressed working
man of the North, he was dism issed from hi
Church and not even allowed to preach hi
valedictory sermon without haying Constabl
in attendance to arrest all who dared enter th
Church.
Where are the thunders of the abolition press
over this outrage? They are dumb--such ''in
tolerance" is allowed to go unrebuked by thos,
who so fippantly prate of the rights Of are
speech and free labor"
Such scene, if enacted in the South, woulc
have horified every Abolitionist in the land
But as it was enacted in staid and religious
New England, it is suffered to pass without
single expression ofregret or single word o
rebuke.--Nat Dem.
