The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1861-08-07

when we consider the violations Of the Consti- 4
tuition by President Lincoln, who has, m fact, 1
treated that instrument as II IL was a nulilty-i
the declarations Of leading Republican pape rs, I
such as the Cincinnati Gsette, that we must |
have new Government erected without the |
principle OF State Rights beng in it--the de. |
elArations Of General Banks that this is the
END OF our Government. but that new one
will be erected based upon different principles"
-oi Secretary Cameron, that when the war clo-
sed there Will be no Pennsylyanians, no New
lorksrs-only Americans, and Of the PROPOSE
tons IN Congress looking TO the abolition Of sa-
very in the States by the action Il the Federal
Govsrnment. We say that in view Of these
iacls--the omission IS imp6 rtAnt, and iorbids
any Democrat who is attached To State Rights
and the Federal Constitution, from scting with
those who occupy such position relative to them.
But the invitation TO forego party is entirely
hypocritical one upon the part Of those who
pretend to urge il. President Lincoln and bis
Republican Cabinet are removing Democrats in
the North from office Just as last as they can
keep the guillotine in motion. In fact, there is
now hardly a Democrat in office under the Ge
neral Government in all the free States The
! President and his Cabinet recognize nothing but
party and party men in all their appointments.
While acknowledging their obligations to Dem
ocrats for their aid in preserving the Govern
medt, they give them no recognition whatever.
When President Lincoln reyerses his policy.
and makes no distinction Of party, it will be
time enough for Democrats to take the idea un
der consideration.
| II those who passed the above call are sincere
in their desire to have but one issue made in the
coming election, that for the preservation ofthe
| Union, why can't hey support the ticket to be
made by the Democrats on the 7th OF Angus
We shall not nominate man wha is not for the
preservation Of the Union and ,cko ,0iH not laJos
TO efect that desirable end ,cith all his po0er.-
Democrats can do far mo- TO saVs the Union than
the Republicans, because they are national and
not sectional in their views and Republicans
whe are for the Union should sustuin them.--
Democrats can not and will not sustain the cor.
ruption and ineffciency Of the Lincoln and Den
nison Administrations, which have been the
cause OF our late reverse at Manassas, as has
been admitted by Republican leaders and jour.
nails. The Republican Committee by its 81
lence upon these points, indicates its opposition
to any censure upon the enormous frauds ald
peculations which have characterized every
branch Of the public service. These points viii
forbid any union oil Democrats with Republicans
on cardinal and fundamental principles.
Had we Democratic Administration now al
would be going on smoothly; the Union wouIC
have been intact, and wealth and prosperit,
would be smiling upon US. A great mistake
was made last November. That mistake is fo
! the present irreparable, and we must make th'
best Of tive must sustain the Government
against any attempt TO overthrow it, come from
quarter it may but at the same time let US no
continue in the old beaten track Of folly by sus
tanning those to whom we owe our difficulties
Let us restore the Union--the National--De
o mocracy to power, just as fast as the Constitu
tionsl forms will admit, and trust to them t
undo tho mischief which others have caused
We SHALL therefore, sustain Democratic tick
I ct, pledged to the maintenance of the Unio
I and the Constitution, and We invite all (ricndl
to these objects, and who are opposed to inef
cheney and corruption in the Government {
Lincoln and Dennison, TO cooperate with u
