The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1863-07-08

rallied as one man. Applause Wher
the grand call was made for troops, two
Democrats went 10 one Republican. The
sew nty five thousand men didn't suffice
Then three years men were called upon -
Whist did the Democrats do then? What
maD OF decency will say that a. many Dem
ocists didn't 20 as Republicans? What was
the language. Of The Republican press in re-
spOnse to this noble action? They denoun-
ced US all 81 traitors. Finally came the iron
hand of military power to seize upon citizens
or no crime under thu Constitution, and
hurry them into dismal dungeons and for
tresses. He mentioned these facts to shew
that those who abused the Democracy foi
not deserting their party organization had
taken the very steps to prevent what they
proesSed to desire. We will discuss the
acts Of our servants. That's our right. Blu,
while we will do that, We will obey the laws
as long as they are not declared unsonstitu-
tional by the Judiciary OF the country, OF
until they are repealed. They .ay you are
all enemies Of our soldiers! There are hun.
dreds Of thousands OF Democrats soldiers in
to make such an assertion. The Republicans
say they are unconditional war men, and
that you are unconditional peace men -
Where do they get their suihority for that
Brough's platform il that The negroes shsl
be practically as we'll as theoretically free
and no peace till that is accomplished. Thai
is broad platform, and 1t ought to be. for
Brough is broad man. tApplause.] Phillip:
says that it will take twenty years to accom-
plish this result, and the war must be fought
out. What is an unconditional peace man
There was Repub.ics Congressman frou
Kansas who is for unconditional peace on the
condition Of existing facts, and he was the
only man Of the kind he ever heard Of
Vallandigham was not an unconditional peace
man. He dehed any man to point out Q
single word in any Of VailandiGham's speech
es that proved him an unconditional peace
man. A voice from the sudience-"Put
that down, Bone Of the Herald" The
American people are thinking people. and
they have knack Of thinking ia their owl
way, and if they don't like the manner il
which this war is being conducted, they vii
try and have things rectified in peaceful
and constitutional way. II peace comes, il
must be principally the work Of the Demo
cratic party. Such assertion was not mere
gasconade. The leaders OF the Republican
party were not unconditional Union men,
Brough is not such a man. His Mariett,
speech proved it. He would not have peace
without the .bolition of slavery. The Abo'
litionists openly avow that they are not fol
the Constitution as it is, but the Constitution
as they think it ought to be and the Union
as they say it shall be. They will not listen
to any terms Of compromise, these ianatical
Abolltionsts, but there will be great por-
tion of the Republican party tbs will listen
to such compromise, and SO will the grand
old Union Democratic party, and the fanatics
will be driven TO the wall. II the time ever
comes when the South sees her folly and
will be willing to come back into the Union
provided she be treated we'll and guaranteed
all her rights, it will be owing to the Dem
ocratic party and other conservative men
that peace will he restored to the countr,
and the Union be saved.
| In speaking of Vallandigham sgain, Mr.
Thurman SAID that the great trouble with
him was, he was in favor OF having the rulers
obey the laws as we'll as the people. Ap'
plause. What brought tie people up te
the great Convention that nomi minated hin
| for Governor? Was it because they hated
! their Government and wanted to aid the
rebels No one but AL ass would think 20
They came up to his support because he is 9
representative OF constitutional liberty AMI
the rights Of Americans citizens. Terrific
APPLAUSE.
According to Mr.. Lincoln (uide his letter
to the Albany meeting), Vallandigham wa'
arrested not because he had committed {
crime, but because he hadn't committed any!--
Applause. BY this new doctrine the mar
who commits crime has every guarantee o
the Constitution thrown around him the
man who has committed no crime is arrest
ed and has no guarantees thrown around
him! Applause. According to Lincoln
il the writ OF haJeas corpus be suspended,
man can be arrested without charge, ant
without having committed crime. Ths
speaker never heard of such thing before
and he thought nobody else ever did. l
this idea is practically carried out, it will
give President Lincoln more power than an,
monarch on the face of the earth. TIL,
point now is--Abolition despotism or fre,
government. We oppose arbitrary arrests
because they are unconstitutional, and be
cause they weaken the arm Of our Govern
ment. What has the latter made by arrest
ing Vallandgham? He now stands alto
ge,her the best chance OF being Governor O
Ohio. They arrested DR.. Olds for word
uttered at an obscure country school heus
that didn't suit .ome Republican, draggel
his away from his family, and sent him t
Fort Lafayette. A strange place 10 send
political prisoner! Named after Lafayette.
! the man who sent to Washington tho key Q
the French Bastile as symbolical of victor
of freedom over oppression! Finally he 60
out. and his friends at home, in Fairfield
took him in hand and sent him to the Leg
stature by two thousand majority. Wha
did the Government make by bis arrest?
surer means Of weakening thu Government
could not be adopted than arbitrary arrests
Mr.. Thurman spoke of the impunity wit
which Wendell Phillips or any OF his trib
could assail the Government, and asked VIII
he had not been arrested. The States {
Ohio, New York, Illinois, Ipdiaua, Ne,
Jersey and Pennsylvania have gone agsinl
the Administration. Did the Democrats So
to JEFF. Davis, upon achieving their victory
that they were his friends, and wished th
rebellion success? No; but the Republica
party have told him that the majority Of th
people of those States are in favor of the re
bellion, for they tell him that the Democrat
are all copperheads, OF sscessionists, an
they constitute that majority. Another wa
in which they have given aid and comfort t
the enemy was by hunting down Democrat
ic Generals. Where is Mcclellan? [Deai
ening cheers. Voices from the audience
"Where is FiH John Porter?" "Where
Shields?"l The speaker recounted some Z
McClellsn's exploits, and said that becaus
he did not follow Lee into Virginia before b
was ready, he was too slow, aud so be wa
turned out. Rosecrans, who we all agree i
good General, can sit in his intrenchments
