The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1861-08-28

We publish the above, not that we approve
Of its contents, but because we are requested to
do so, and also to show TO our readers another
one OF the numerous political humhugs gotten
up by broken down politicians TO retrieve their
losi in the estimation OF that public they have
SO grossly and outrageously deceived. This is
the second political humbug that has been
gotten up in this county by these same politi
cal mountebanks since our connection with this
paper. 1t is trap they set to catch honest
uninformed men. We all recolect the time
when these men wishing to get rid of the name
of Wing got up new party under the name
and style Of "Anti-Nebraska Party" and in a
short time, after passing through the ordeal Of
know -nothingisln, changed it to Republican par
ty. Then the principles Of the Democratic par
ty, in their estimation, were all wrong and un-
less this new party got all the offices, the coun
try was sure to go to ruin But the sequel
showed that in the course Of time they adopted
the principles of the party they then so bitter
ly denounced. At the same time, these gentle
men boldly and openly, not only in speeches,
but by resolution, advocated the very ultraist
kind of disunionism, and the rankest kind Of
treason against the Government that was pro-
tecting them in the right of "free Speech" and
"free press" From that time down to the
breaking out of this unfortunate and deplorable
war. these same men, in all their speeches I'd
yocated treason and dsanionism of the basest
kind
But we intended to notice the above call par
ticula,ly. 1t starts out, as all such things do
with fasehood. 1t says ''at meeting held II
the Court House Of the citizens OF Harrison
County. "Now this is q downright falsehood
The citizens of Harrison County held no such
meeting. The republican party, exclusively
held meeting in the Grand Jury Room, fol
the purpose, as they done, Of nominating regu
lar Republican County ticket When they
were through with that kind OF work, the gen
tlemen whose name appears above as secretary
called on the outside Republicans to come in anc
appoint Delegates to a State Convention. But
instead ofappoiting Delegates, as appeas from th
above, that bead political tIckster of this section
John A. Bingham, offered resolution to catci
gudgeons with. This Bingham is a pretty mai
to talk about Union. A nisn who has spokeI
a the rankest kind OF dsunionism during the pas
seven years, as he has done, must have yer.
hard cheek to get up, even in meeting of hi
own followers, and talk about Union witt
other genuine Union parties. man, like him
who advocated the nomination, some tw'
months since. of ,ut and out Republican Stat
and County Tickets is only fit to cote for tn
first part Of Mr.. Cr:tenden's resolution, ant
then like political dodger, AZ he is, go out Q
his seat in Congress to keep from voting eithe
for or against the latter part OF the same reso
luton. But the above resolution, is like it
author, mass Of impracticabie ideas. Wha
does he care about .lliberty" unless it free
ell the negroes, as his vote on the Lovejoy res
oluton will show? What does he care polit
cally about "loyar' or any ather citizens, unles
they are verdant enough to vote Tor him abou
once In two years.
But then TO be more serious about this mat
ter. The true and original Union Men Of 0h'
met in Columbus on tLJ 7th Inst, and adopte
unanimously the following
Platform of the Democracy ant
Other UniOn Wen of Ohio.
The Democracy and other Union men OF Obi
