The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1863-03-18

force OF arms, We ceased cur efforts to
induce mcn to volunteer; and if Mr..
Lincoln hadissued his September and
January PFeclamatiens, when he call
ed out the seventy Eve thousand men
in April, 1861, we would have suffer-
ed our right arm to have been taken
from our bedy, before we would have
used the FIRST effort to have induced
any person to volunteer. We we're
deceived, We thought until Septem-
Der, 1862, Mr.. Lincoln's object was to
restore the Union, although We we're
told different by our best friends; bat his
proclamation of that date satisfied us
| that he, and the party he acted with,
were as great disunionists, If not worse
than jeff. Davis and his crew. As We
are no disunionist, we ceased to sup
port Mr.. Lincoln in his war policy
when he became enc. But during all
the time we were inducing men to vol
untccr, we were also urging the "olivc
branch Of peace to accompany the
sword.
And we will say here, that anything
we can now do to assist the soldier in
the field, or aid his family at home,
will still be done with all the power
we possess, We oppose Mr.. Lincoln's
war policy for their benefit. We ad-
yocate an honorable peace, thing that
would enable them to get to their
homes and their families, which is the
greatest desire of njue-tenths of the
private soldiers in the field. Mr.. Lin
coin S war policy is only calculated to
prolong the war, bring ruin upon the
country, make rich contractors, keep
up officers, and Government officials,
at large salaries, who do nothing, and
have a lot of worthless negroes to
take the place of these soldiers at
home. We know we are right in ep-
posing Mr.. Lincoln's war policy, and
we shall continue to oppose it, the
ioers, taunts and threats of army off
GERS, contractors, government piund-
erers, and abolitionists to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
While we we're doing what we have
mentioned above, we will let our read
erS see what the editor of the Repub>
lican, Mr.. Richard Hatton, the gen
tleman, who Is NOW in for such Wig
orous prosecution of the war, and call
all who do not agree with him, "dis-
,loyalists," and "traitors," done. What
did this same Mr.. Hatton do for "the
vigorous prosecution Of the war; un-
til the President issued his abolition
Idisunion-negro-fr >emancipation>
proclamation in 1862? When compa-
MES were being raised and military
meetings held in this comfy, and it
was necessary to have bills printed,
Mr.. Hatton's almost universal repl ly to
gentlemen who went to his Office to get
them printed, was, "that he had not
time to print them, and that they had
better 90 to the Sentinel office, and get
the job done" When any of his en-
ployces would volunteer, he always
showed his bad humor, and in one in
stance, abused, through his paper, the
recruiting officer, Lieutenant John
Brown. The only earnest efforts he
has used towards vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war, was to get commissions
for his relatives and political friends;
but whenever any of his relatives or
friends went into the army as private
soldiers, he spared no exertions to get
them discharged from the service; and
out of the seven, that he boasted last
fall, had gone from his office ''to help
put down the rebellion" only one re-
mains in the service, Mr.. John Fogle,
now at home, wounded; and who, by
the way, might have been First Lieu-
tenant of his company when it first or
ganized, had not this same Richard
Hatton used his influence against Mr..
Fogle, because he had left his employ,
and done what he could to secure the
election of Lieutenant Brown to that
position, (the same gentleman he after
wards abused through his paper
hoping thereby to be able to secure
Browns influence in helping him to get
the nomination of County Treasurer
that fall. In all of his acts, since the
war began, he has shown the petty dem
agogue politician. He has always op-
posed persons getting commissions in
the army who did not agree with him
in political sentiments. This fact is
