The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1863-04-15
Party Tendencies.

In readlng this history volume OF
testimony is unfolded, which speaks
louder than seven thundcrs, and will
carry conviction to every honest heart.
While the Democratic party has al
ways been the party of the Constitu-
tion--honoring the Judicial branch Of
the Government, and cheerfully rem,
dering obedience and support to to all
Constitutional laws-the tendency of
the Republican or Abolition party has
always been revolutionary and lawless.
Rrer since its inception this party has
been carrying on a crusade against
Shareholders, and in the frenzy of their
desperation they will allow no obstacle
to impede them in their march to de-
struction.
First, they fonnd the Fugitive Slave
law, an enactment framed and passed
by some of the best patriots to whom
the nation has given birth; a law that
had been decided Constitutional by
the Judiciary time and again. Their
batteries opened on it-they were loud
in their revolutionary declaration that
they would never obey it. They ex-
hausted the vocabulary of invective
in denounclng it, were eloquent in
their praise of the rebels who resisted
its execution, and in the great State of
Ohio men were found sufficiently i'm
pregnated with Abolition principles to
resist the Government with armed
force. Whenever an attempt was
made to execute United States law,
resistance was made by this Abolition
revolutionary party.
Not satisfied with individual rebel
lion, they next sought to array the
State Governments in hostility to the
General Government, by the passage
of enactments designed to prevent the
execution of United States laws, and
the personal liberty bills will remain
forever reproachful monument of the
lawlessness of the Abolition party. In
this connection they sought to obstruct
the right of transit.
But still they were not satisfied
Their revolutionary tendency had not
obtained full development true to
the instincts Of a lawless party, they
thirsted for BLooD-and when Old
John Brown prosecuted the work they
had begun, in Virginia, their hearts
glowed with fervent delight.
