The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1862-12-03

Nov that President Lincoln he
besn forced By the Abolitionists ffon
che constitutional ground he maintain
ed selong, the restoration Of the Uniol
Of cur States is growing more desper
ate and uncertain every day. As lonl
asthe President stood frm We ha,
somehope Of . reunited country, bu
his abandonment Of his settled con
victions, and the adoption by him o
revolutionary Abolition theories, rem
ders its future gloomy and with bu
little hope. He, having adopted th,
radical programrne ia. no more than /
puppet in the radical councils; there ID
now no retreat for him, he must act a,
they command. His emancipation
proclamation and the dismissal Of Nc
Clellan, both Of which he resisted SC
long, were but the commencement of .
series Of operations intended to prevent
the restoration of this Union. These
being consummated, third is already
inaugurated. The New York Tribune,
the head and front of the radicals,
which paper has bullied the President
into the commission Of SO many fatal
blunders, now announces that certain
Democrats in New York city are in
negotiation with leading rebels to lay
down their arms and send members to
our next Congress. Now, although
this is precisely the very thing which
the President pretends to desire, and
thesyery thing for which the Abolition
issssaid they had issued their acts Of
conhscation and emancipation, observe
the alarm which mere report of
possible ending of the war has created.
Why is this? the answer is plain; the
Abolitionists desire no cessation of
hostilities as long as there is a slave in
the South; this they have, at length,
proclaimed, and they intend to accom-
plishit. The reported negotiation be-
tween Democrats in New York and
rebels in Richmond, is mere blind,
intended by the Tribune as an excuse
for snother Abolition outrage upon the
Constitution. After it and it's coadju-
tors agitate this falsehood for few
weeks, the President will be in good
condition to accede to their further ex-
actions and sign any bill which their
Congress may adopt. That body hav-
ing reassembled the country will be
pretty well informed of this scheme,
which 10 intended to be mere pretext
for legislution, to utterly prevent any
possible reunion Of these States. Ma
ny Of the present Congress having
heen lately beaten in their efforts for
re-election, are desperate and resent
full; and having no political future, they
will, like the youth of Ephesus, firing
the Ephesian Dome to gain notoriety
give full swing to all the disunion
fury calculated to accomplish their de-
signr. s@a I'D ~. ..5s
Mr.. Greeley is playing his disunion
game with desperation; some think him
indiscreet; in this instance he is not;
hsving been lately repudiated by the
people, n%.aing but the use of the
power which his party will lose with
the closing Of the present short session
of Congress will save hisschemes from
indefinite postponement. The days Of
the coming session will be few and
aeeting; the fourth of next March will
see it buried: so the three short months
Of its existence must be used most cf-
fectnally, to consummate the immense
and fatal measures in contemplation.
These measures are few but terrible,
che principle ones being the adoption
Of Summers plan for the reduction Of
the Southern States to the condition Of
territories TO take away from them
all representation in Congress, and to
govern them hereafter as conquered
provinces. After destroying the sov-
ereignty Of the old States, there is
another projcct--6rst suggested by
the North American, Of Philadelphia
to force into our Union half dozen
of four new territories, as States, by
which the Abolitionists expect to re>
tain power in Congress for all time to
come. The people having condemned
these mad disunionists at the late cleo
ticns, the coming three months will
demonstrate their potency for mischief
20 their country, If they succeed in
their designs against the old Common
wealth and in their efforts to elevate
our wilderness into States, they have
Che power in Congressto do what they
choose; they win have the power to
amend the Constitution and make Il
such an instrument % win suit their
purposes. They can then fix the meas
ure Of ones loyalty, which ID now .ad-
