The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1860-01-11

cept that Of the Auditor Of State which is in
the hands Of the priuter, have been printed
and are ready TO be laid before you. They
will be transmitted to each House without
delay.
1t becomes my duty to lay before you, in
with the request Of the Governor
of New York, the Concurrent Resolutions Of
the Lenate and Assembly Of thst State, con
demning the African Slave Trade, and pro.
testing against the re-Opening Of that inhu.
man traffic. The people of Ohio, without
distinction of party, and almost without in
dividual exceptions, unite in reprobation Of
the traffic and its revival
With these resolutions, | also transmit for
your information, copies of lettors addressed
BY the Governor Of Virginia to the Presi-
dent Of the United States and to myself, and
of my reply to that addressed to me.
doubt not gentlemen, that | expressed
your own sentiments, as we'll as those OF our
common constituents, when | declared my
conviction that it is the duty of the Execu-
tive authorities Of Ohio to exercise whatever
power the law may vest in them for the sup
preston OF unlawful combinations against
the peace and safety Of other members Ot the
chtldt CHiOI, anu lillI Inc pCoP'S VI Nii'Ot
while they will suffer no invasion of their
own territory, will countenance no invasion
of the territory Of other States; but, expect
ing from them the fulfilment Of every con-
stitutional obligation, will require of their
own authorities the prompt performance OF
reciprocal duties.
While We will not disavow just admira-
tion of noble qualities, by whomsoever dis
played We must not the less, but rather the
more earnestly condemn all inroads into
States, not merely at peace with US but uni
ted to US by the bonds OF political union, and
all attempts to excite within their borders,
servie instructions, necessarily tending to
involve the country in the calamities OF civil
as we'll as servile war.
That spirit of distrust and alienation has
arisen in the country, it were idle to deny.
That it is not shared in any great degree, by
the masses in either section, is, trust, equal
ly true. The people desire Union and Con-
cord; not Discord and Disunion.
Claiming no absolute exemption from
blame in behalf of the free States, we cannot
admit their liability to exclusive censure.
In repeated instances, without pretence OF
Justification the territory Of Ohio has been
candestinely entered, and peaceful inhabi
tants, guilty ofno crime but color, have been
cruelty kidnapped, the Fugitive Slave Act,
necessarily repugnant to public sentiment
ard believed by a large majority to be uncon'
stitutional in some Of its conspicuous provis.
ions, if not in its origin, has been executed
within her limits with circumstances Of ag.
eravation which could not fail to excite the
Aany-ct faa1ipr md ho ,,Nt Ino tunD Df
ing where her citzons, travelling on lawful
business in Slave States, on mere suspicion
of obnoxious sentiments have been subjected
to espionage and indighity--to arrest anC
! imprisonment. To these particular causes o
complaint must be added to the general grie
vance OF the repeal of the Missouri Prohbi
| ton, manesting the determination of larg
majority Of the slaveh0ldinl class to extent
Slavery throughout the National Territories
Notwithstanding these causes Of complaint
and in confident expectation eftheir ultimat
removal through the influence Of better in
formation and juster sentiments, the peopl
of Ohio have held fast to the Constitution
and the Union. They have never resisted
with Illegal force even the execution of tn
Fugitive Slave Act by federal officers acting
under legal warrants.
Ohio has uttered no menace Of disuniol
when the American people have seen fit II
entrust the powers of the Federal Govern
lnent to citizens OF other political views tha
those ofa majority other citizens. No threat
oil disunion in similar contingency by citi
z9ns of other States will excite in her an
sentiments save those Of sorrow and repro
baton. They viii not move her from he
course. She will neither dissolve the Unio
herself nor consent to its dissolution by 9th
ers
Faithful to the covenant Of the Ordinance
she will resist the extension ofslavery: cor
frmed in tho principles Of the Constitution
she will oppose its naturalization; true to tn
. faith in which her youth was nurtured, an
, calm in the consciousness Of her mature
! strength. she will abide in the Union, an
, under the Constitution, maintain Liberty
{ Let Us hope that good counsels may "
{ prevail; that differences may be composed b
return to the faith Of the Fathers, and
| the original policy Of the Republic; and tht
r our whole country, thus relieved from exis
9 ing causes of dissension, may once more prt
. sent to the admiration Of the world the spet
tace Of great and prosperous communit
t of truly United States, protected in their il
I dustry and defended in their rights by Il
t equal laws and importial administration
