The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1860-07-12


the Democratic party have no organ
in this county, and as the writer OF the
following communication was fearful
that it would have been refused by the
editor of the Democrat, we SO far CON-
ply with his request as to give it a
place in our columns; of course dis
senting in toto from the conclusions
drawn by the writer ED. REP.
To true Observation-Disclosures Men.
l am alarmed at the aspect of Ma
tional affairs. Loving the Union as my
life, and devoted to its perpetuity, am
ready at any moment to bear my bosom
to the storm and hazard all for its we'll
fare.
In my time, / have voted for Jack
son; Of him and his administration
history will never give too much praise;
also, l have voted for Polk, one of the
purest men that ever lived, whose prin-
ciples like those of Jackson and Brock
inridge, all true democrats support.
John G. Breckenridge, of KY, is the
present nominee of the National Dem
ocratic Party, running against "Abe"
Lincoln, of the National Republican
Party, and against S. A. Douglas, the
nominee of Northern faction of the
democracy-whose leader is Dean
Richmond, Of N. Y. the Abolitionist
who fngled with Van Buren, on the
Buffalo Platform.
In all this, perhaps there is nothing
disturbing but in the masses, who
follow the Candidates, there is every
thing to fear. Heretofore, the Democ-
racy of the North, stood between the
firery elements, the excited masses of
slavery-men South and Anti-Slavery
men North this barrier Douglas and
his friends have resolved to remove.
He is now Northern candidate, with
no hope or expectation of Southern
votes. He is as much counted out at
the south, as is Lincoln aud | hold
that if the great conservative Northern
barrier is broken down, and Northern
fanaticism is triumphant, then is the
Constitution, and the permanence of
these States imperiled. AS an evidence
Of an intention to break up the Democ-
racy of the North, and to establish
new party on the principle of defiance
to all law, and in favor of an arrogant
Sovereignty in the Territories, over-rid-
ing the Supreme Court, and in defiance
of Congress and of the President, read
the editorials of the Douglas journals,
particularly those eminating from the
jaundised distempered control of
the Detroit Free Press and that able
and fearless advo ate of mow-rule, the
National Democrat, by Geo. B. Turner
Esq. The Democrat tells us that "Mr.
Buchanan and Mr.. Breckenridge are
Disunionists, and that he (B.) is the
disunion candidate.
What lie! and you Democrats all
know that MIR. Turner is the 'traitor"
and that Buchanan and Breckenridge,
whom you have elected, the one to the
Presidency; and the other to the Vice
Presidency, hold the same political
sentiments to-day that you do. and that
they did when you voted for them i'll
1856. No,-if there has been any
wrong committed in the Repeal of the
Missouri Compromising wrong
i'll Kansas, i'll consequence he did
all if there is any thing to feel proud
of, Mr.. Turner is welcome to it, for
Buchanan and the Democracy have
done all they could to right the Gov
ernment, where an ambitious dcma-
gogue, for a long while, have not only |
brought distrust upon the administra-
ton, but created lines of division and |
revolt at Charleston and Baltimore that |
were no longer within his control. He
is like the necromancer who had con-
jured up spirit from the informal re-
gions, but could not bid him down
again, and now his friends see the mon
ster.
What is to be attained by Douglas
men in Michigan, in abusing the Pres
ident, Caleb Gushing, or Major Breck-
enridge? Certainly MIR. BIS Demo
cratic friends will not stand it, and they
will organize to repel the abuse of the
Free Press, National Democrat and
that kind of factious w ooley-heads.
l know that Douglas will not get
solitary electoral vote in the South, and
no man is so blind as to claim for him
any one OF the la electoral votes
North that was cast for Fremont.
Lincoln will beyond anything but a
uyricle, carry the entire North-west all
the New England States, including
New York and New Jersey, giving l47
electoral votes. Breckenridge will just
as certainly take every Southern State,
California and Oregon, giving 1919 cleo
toral votes-thas leaving the great
Battle of 1860 to be fought in Pennsyl-
vania, her 81 votes will decide the day,
and | believe the like cause that will
give Lincoln Illinois and Indiana, will
give Pennsylvania to Breckinridge, :
and elect him. To recaptiulate:
FOR BRECKENRIDGE.
Is Southern States, leo votes.
