The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1862-09-03
Stick Together.

In all past times men have differed on
policy and politics, and SO long as men have
minds and lounge those differences will con.
tinue to exist: AS in politics, SO in religion.
There are fifty different creeds and beliefs,
but all protesting christians have the same
object in view-the reaching of Heaven
SIS in the present great Civil War in which
we are engaged. Men differ widely as to
its causes, and to the policy that should be
adopted IN its prosecution, but we firmly
believe that there is not a man in glorious
old Seneca that does not desire the preserva
ton of III: Union. We are glad to see the
heartiness with which our Democratic friends
have responded to the necessities of the Gov
ernment in the present crisis. The antici
palions Of the North upon the breaking out
of this rebellion have been disappointed. -
We relied upon the Union sentiments in the
South--we thought there were many there
who would still cling to the old flag and
venerate its history. The truth stands
staring US in the face that the Southern peo.
pie have fought that flag with desperation
! worthy better cause. We utter no false
alarm, when we say that if our armies are
not reinforced promptly, that the danger oI
foreign powers is imminent. Then we say
there is not a day to loose in filling up our
quota Of troops. The Union Of our Fathers
is in danger. We, the people of the Great
West, can never afford to have the Missss-
| ippI River and the Gulf of Mexico, in the
hands Of foreign power. We cannot have
two Nationalities. We do not want o per,
petual border war, nor can we afford to keer
a perpetual standing army. The Rebellion
must be put down! Let the ranks of our
Great Army, commanded by Halleck and
Mcclellan, the McCooks, and other Generals,
| be filled up. Let us not stand back because
| we have been taunted and reviled as 'secess
ionsts,' and rebel sympathisers.' We know
that is a LlE-a foul, damnable, blistering,
Infamous, wicked lie. We have an interest
in this Government as party! For seventy
| years we controlled tive will coDtrole il
again! The President in power was not
chosen by us, but he was elected Constitu.
tionally. 1t has been our prldeato stand by
the Constitution in long years of prosperity
and power. Democrats, this Government,
must be saved. We must make rebellion
lower its flag, and at the proper time, through
the ballot, we must elect men who in Con
gress will not give their time to visionary
schemes Of philanthropy, but to egi station
in accordance with the old time charts o
Webster, Clay, Douglas and others. In war
Democrats have ever stood by the Govern
ment. We must gave the Government
now, ~
"When cannon rend the skies asundcr
| And fierce dragoons with quickening strokf
! Bpont the reoiing regiments thunder.'
| Then let us not stand back! Let us main
tain our position. The Union as it was
the Constitution as it is!' We must have it
The South must aot destroy the Union; il
cannot so long as the people will stick to-
gether' an the main issue. NO DISSOLU.
TION is the motto Of the Democracy; in the
language Of Hugh J. Jewett, last year, nc
terms Of separation, nothing but the ole
Union. We will fight for it to the death!
