The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1863-07-01

Our city the past week has been enlivened
by the convocatiob OF the secret oath -bounc
Leaguers OF the State Of Ohio to put Stat,
Ticket IN the field, to run against the Dem
ocratic Ticket noIninated the week before
IL was o curious affair." --called loud and long
as Mass Meeting, which, it seems, accor
ding to their notions, means men, women
children and negroes, Tor all such were here,
with all kinds OF .paraphernalia which bet
ter becomes an eleotioneering pic-nic in
the woods than delberative convention to
discuss and canvass for men fit to be run for
the highest officers in the State!
This working Of things, hind end foremost
is very peculiar to men phrenzied with negro
on tho brain. They have been managing
our public affairs for the last two years on
the same principle. Commence with an aw
full flourish and end in o woful disaster--the
character and fate fall fanatics in public
affairs.
But still they showed trick to the last.---
While the outside MASSES were parading the
streets with music and banners, and shout.
ing for Gov. Tod, with "'ro1 and Victory"
in bold letters on hats and flags, the secret,
oath bound Leaguers, slipped into the The.
atre. and nominated John Brough. OF whom
these same politicians used to sing,
"Iffesh 10 grass, as scriptures say,
Taen Johny, Bropgh's load of hay"
Rather than risk Tod with his Olds affair
to carry. they conciuded it would be safer to
carry Mr. Brough load Of hay and all. They
will find it q very heavy load, fix it as they
will, for Brough, in his late speech at Mar
etta, jumps, most willingly, into all the odi.
Gus measures which have carried Gov. Tod
to the bottom. " F'85t8$t4
AS gratifying as 1t was to see Tod served
in this manner by his own partixans, for no
man could have stopped lower to conquer"
yet we cannot but feel q sympathy for any
man left in such utter disgrace by the men
for whose beaetit be destroyed himself Had
Mr.. Brough sense enough to appreciate bad
treatment he would throw up his chances of
disgrace at once; but being willing party to
Tod's ruin, he, OF course, 'cannot see IT,
Brough's only safety is in defeat, and as he
claims to have once been Democrat, they,
for the sake Of their party's good name, will
defeat him, and thus protect him from the
ruin Of his predecessor
DR.. Dorsey, another renegade Democrat,
must have played false with Tod, as he is
good at false play in such cases. The great
bitterness exhibited against Gov. Tod by
many Of the "oath bound,' astonished many
people. They charged him with bsins un-
popular in the army--with the crime OF fals>
hood--with swindling the State in the Penn
sylvania and Ohio canal affair-and stated
that he had as much as he could do to at.
tend to his suits with DR.. Olds without
being Governor longer, and that they could
not carry the unpopular weight Of arbitrary
arrests.
How then will they carry Brough or any
other man OF the Republican persuasion?
The bold stand on the dssp ,tic measures Of
their party taken by the Democrats in tho
enthusiastic nomination Of Mr.. Vallandig
ham. sent chill into the Republican ranks
which caused them to pitch Gov. Tod over
board without the beast ceremony.
This was the second great tri umph over
Order No. 38' the first showed itself In the
Chicago Times case. Let the bali roll on and
the whole scheme OF despotism will tail. 1t
Is too big load Of hay Tor any party to car !.
ny In this free country, rs will be but too
evident to ell, from Lincoln 10 Tod and down
wards Crisis. @,@
