The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1860-07-04
WHY We C..mne support. Douglas.

,arly and without fraud, in accordance with the
time honored usages of Democratic National
Conventions, we would have felt ,und in obo
dicnce TO our party obligations, to give him our
support. In more than twenty years that we
have been voter and an editor, we have never
permitted ourselves az single instance 10 with
hold our vote 'om regularly nominated dem
ocratic candidate for a national state or county
office.
Why we cannot vote tor Stephen Dousl0s,
MAJ. in part, be stated, as follows;--
!. He IS not the candidate of the Democracy
oithe whole United States, but was nominated
by a disrupted convention whose elements were
almost as sectional as those Of The convention
at Chicago which, as we'll as the Douglas con.
yention at baltimore, contained scattering dele
gates from several Of the Slave States.
2. TO vote 10 Judge Douglas in Ohio, in his
present position as q half nominated candidate,
would do him no good; bscapse after receiving
our vote he would still hack 30,OQ0 to 100000
votes of carrying the electoral vote ofOhio
| 3. B'c"r'r Judge Douglas, bcius an irreG"'ar
candidate, aid his forced nomination being des-
titute OF any element emitting it to respect
therefore, to vote for him would be to become
his voluntary endolser.
4. Because We believe Judge Dougas' :. lead
ership Of the Democratic party has been iicklt
headstrong, seltish'aud unsafe, and has brough
uhon the Democracy numl eress defeats tha
wise counscls and skiIlul generalship woult
have avoided.
5, Because Judge DougiaS, sctuated solel
by considerations connected with his persona
ambition, commenced war on the Nationa
Administration Of the Democratic party, an
by a combination between himself Broderick
Forncy, Hickman, tIaskins, and the Black Re
publicans in general, succeeded SO far in weak
ening its strength before the people, as to thro,
the lower house of Congress into the hands {
the Know Nothngs and Republicans.
, , 6. Because Forney, llaskins, Morris, Of ILL
nois, and other enemies Of the Democratic par
ty, known to be in the pc, sonal confidence an
favor fudge Douglas, prompted and vote
for getting up the Covode and other iniainou
Committees having lor their object the disgrac
of President Buchanan, his Cabinet, and th
=, , Democratic party by which they were defer
. lded.
y z. Because Judge Douglas, by aiding and (
:. betting in the nefarious attempt to pursuad
;. fthe public mind that MIR. Buchanan, and IL
' chosen National Administration OF the Dem,
cratic party, sought to fasten slavery on an III
willing people, has done more TO n,aa,yactu
= recruit, for the Republican party than has be-
q accomplished iosoayd that end by tbs whole Repu
: Ecan press of the Union during an equal perio
n 8. Because Judge Douglas, through his pril
s ciple "blowess and strikers" has sought to d.
grade the Great Democratic Party of tho M
tion into one mans patty, and to make feal'
" to Stephen A. Douglas test of Democracy.
=. Because to vote for Judge Douglas after Il
!. unparalleled course Of his friends at Charlestt
"a and Baltimore, would be to sanction that cour
and thus to give an endorsement to the pcrsi
n tent and head strong adherence ofthe delcgat
e to man, at the sacrifice of the harmony, un
Il on and SUCCESS OF the Great National Democra
. ic party of tbs Union.--Ne0ark Aduocate.
