The Republicans Of Harrison
County Opposed 10 the "UntOu"
Movement. III
From the Cadiz Republican, July l6, 1862.
OuI Position.
As the course Of the Republican, recently
has not been entirely satisfactory to lew |
gentleman about Cadiz, and as we have been
slightly misIepresented, we propose to set
forth our position and also the position OF the
faction that differs in opinion with US, and
would, il they could, compel us to adopt
their political views regardless OF the wishes
Of nineteen twentieths OF the Republicans OF
this county; and because we reiure to be
governed by certain gentlemen who are III
the habit OF debating to others what course
they shall pursue, we are denounced as stub
born,n "impraclicabe," &c.
Since we have had charge OF the Republi-
can, we have endeayored to make the paper
faithful representative OF the party with
which we act; and in doing so, we have ne
cessarily run counter, sometimes, to the Pc
culiar views Of individuals; but We have al
ways carried out what we believed to be the
will Of the majority Of our party friends,
with whom we have generally concurred in
opinion, We have pursued this course be-
csuse we believe party paper should reflect
the sentiments and views OF the party 1t rep
resents; and such will be cur course in fu>
ture, no matter who may differ in opinion
with US, as to its policy.
The question at issue between the Repub-
lcans Of Harrison county and lew gentle
men in Cadiz, is: whether the Republican
organization should be ignored in the ap-
nroaching contest in this county. We claim
that the existence Of Republican party
should be recognized in the call fer county
convention, and that our party organization
should be maintained by putting in nomina-
tion Republican county ticket. 1t is known
IN our readers that we have resisted from the
start the abandonment OF the Republican
party; and in this county, thus far, 1t has
| been maintained; that we should continue to
keep up our organization is almost the univer-
sal opinion OF the Republicans OF the coun-
ty.
The Republicans OF Harrison, without an
execution, favor vigorous prosecution OF
the war for the preservation Of the Union'
They are Tor the Union without an il or a
but. They yield the Government in the
prosecution of the war, vigorous support,
and are opposed to concessions, on the part
of the Federal authority that would be dis
hon ,rable, In other words they are in IA
yor OF conquering peace; and for that pur"
nose urge a vigorous prosecution of the war
Could Republicans do more to aid and up
hold the Government in this crisis, by yield
ing their party organization? Could they
more effectualy aid in putting down thi!
wicked rebellion by adopting new name
We do not believe they could, and, therefore
we are opposed to the abandonment of tn
( Republican party in this county.
i've are willing to act in concert with thu
State Union organization, for the time being
and we expect to support the Union Stat'
ticket which may be put in nomination ol
the 2lst of August because it is the bes
we can do under the circumstances. Blu
there is no reason why the Republican part,
should be disbanded in Harrison county; ant
: we trust that Republicans will permit n
, such thing to take place. Let tru' Republl
6 cans from every township. be sentup as de
legates to the county convention, and let u
: make ticket composed exclusively OF lie
4 pubicans. We want no mongret ticket il
Q Harrison county. We have men in our ow
y Marty competent to fill all the offices in ou
, gi t; and we can give straight Republica
ticket more votes in this county than can b
n given to a mongre ticket. Nothing, there
{. fore. is to be gained, in the way Of votes, b
Y abandoning the Republican organization.
4 Believing that the Republican party
nearer tight than any other political organ
{ zation in this country, we Shall labor
n maintain it, Notwithstanding the saeers c
e the would be leaders Of new party here c
= elsewhere; and, in doing SO, we believe
are carving out the wishes OF nineteen
twentieths Of the Republicans OF this COUNTY
II That they will stand by US in the positio
we have taken, we have not doubt.
a What has been the effect Of the so calle
Union organization thus far? Last year,
= the formation Of State ticket the Locos c
II the most important Offices; and, in the non
e ination Of county tickets, in Republica
# counties, they generally succeeded in gettr
- the candidates for Representative. III
~ Union Democrats elected in Republics
n counties, held the balance OF power IN the leG
q islature; and how do they repay Republican
4 for their support? By voting against Ber
f. Wade for U. S. Senator, with one or tV
~ honorable exceptions the man OF all othe
whose re- election was desired by the A dmi
it istration and by nine tenths of the Repub
h cans Of this State; and, if Mr.. Wade is n
y, re elected to the U. s. Senate, it will
chargeable to the so called Union party 0
y ganlzation; yet, with this fact staring us
e the face, we are asked to get mongrel tic
,h ct in this county composed in part of locof
4 cos, who are opposed to the re. election OF M
Wade, Mr.. Bingham, and men of that STAN
!" We do not believe the Republicans of Harl
TO son county are prepared to take this step.
he We believe they will stand by their par
er organization and party friends, and resist q
% attempt, come from what source it may,
w get mongrel ticket in the county. Dem
IN, Gratis who approve the course Of the Admi
ID. stration will vote with US; such as do N
en- should act with the Locos. Men whose vo,
=, depend upon party name, regardless
principle are Of but little account and
're are not disposed to put ourself to mu
ey trouble to catch such. If there are Dem
crats in this county who are dissatisfied W
:. tbe course OF their party, and can console
~ tiously act with the Republican pal
we we bid them welcome but such
las require change Of party name before tn
oil can act with US, will, no doubt, feel more
- home in the Democratic party; at least
are not disposed to make so great a sacrif
lo' in order to obtain such recruits.
'he Believing that in this article we have utt
I've ed the sentiments of nineteen. twentieths
pur all who stand opposed to the Locofoco pa
- in Harrison county, we shall await the act
,aO Of our friends without doubt as to the
lie suit. YEA -#
