The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1861-08-28
what they .hink of volunteers.

Ever since tho present war began, the organ
zation known as the Republican party, have
made great protestations of friendship for those
who volunteer to defend their country in this its
time Of need. Where there is such an unusual
amount of friendship, it is we'll enough to raise
the curtain, and see how much sincerity there
is in it, We will take our county for instance.
Here two excellent companies have been raised
and Joined the army. These men left be-
hind them number Of fathers and brothers
who had no objection to receive county office
from the hands Of the party that made such
loud pretentions Of friendship for the volunteers
and their friends. On last Monday this party
held their county convention, and of the candi-
dates nominated let us see how many have sons
or brothers in the army. Well, there are no
Lstham's, no Grace's, no Magee's, no Lem
MONS no Rea's, no McCullough's no Jarvis's,
no Billngslsy's, no Haverfeld's in the army
from this county These men have done moth
ing towards getting up the army, either by fur
nishing men or money: while those cand dates
who were not only liberal in subscribing money
but they even urged their sons and brothers to
take up arms in defence OF their country, were
thrown overheard All disinterested persons
can see how much the Republican party OF Har-
rson county respects the friends of the brave
volunteers who are fighting the battles OF their
country. Having shown in the above what the
Republicans OF this county think of the brave
volunteers and their friends, we will give our
readers another evidence OF the manner in
which brave volunteers are spoken Of by Re.
publlcans in other places. The Salem, Colum-
biana county, Republican edited by member o.
the Ohio Legislature speaks in the following dis
graceful manner of gentleman who served his
three months in the 18th Ohio Regiment. IL
speaking of the Democratic State Ticket, il
says:--
That is somewhat ola ticket, most undoubt.
edIy. 1t begins moderately we'll at The head
but grows worse and worse, step by step, all the
way down, until the tail of the mongrel is real
! i pointed out with Jaby Fitch, OF Cleveland
or rather he is the 'in pan tied to the tail OF the
whelp, and has already, in these parts, caused
distinct howl to be raised by many of the
party who claim to be full members in good
standing.
Now what is Gen. Fitch's offence that thi'
cowardly poltroon should speak ofhim as hi
does? We cannot imagine any other reason
than this: Gen. Fitch was appointed by Gov
Dennson to take command of Camp Taylor, a
Cleveli ind. When company from Ashtabuli
county, (GiddingS' county,) was about being
mustered into service in the 18th Ohio Regi
ment, private of the company refused to tak'
the oath. Gen. Fitch, VINO was standing by
told the coward to step out ofthe ranks, as thu
Government wished no such towards as ne wa
in the service, and that he would take his place
He done so, and served the full term of the en-
listment in the gallant 10th Ohio Regiment
which done such excellent service In Western
Virginia. How many republicans would hav
done as Gen. Fitch did-gve up an easy $25
a month berth for laborious fatiguein
S11 month one? He done so because h
despses-such towards as the member Of tn
company from Ashtabula, and such coward
sneaks as the writer Of the above mean dirt
paragraph.
