The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1863-09-02
Mr.. VIM. DoANE:

MR.. w M. DOANE:
DEAR SIR: On my return from
Chillicothe few days since, found
your note of 18th inst, awaiting my
attention. l will endeavor to comply
with your request, and hope this COM
munication may also be received as a
full response to all those who, by word
or writing, seek to know my position
or my opinion. A cherished friend,
of long standing, whilst in the An
cient Metropolis, put the converse of
your proposition in this form: "Of
course, Mr.. A, you will vote for your
brother and Brough;" to which re-
piled: "Nary Alb" This brought on
short discussion, rather assertion and
denial, as to what constitutes AbOli>
tionism. l then declared, as now
assert, that if all the speeches, reso-
lutions and schemes of Garrison, Phil
lips, Wade, Giddings and Chase were
grated down, strained and pressed to-
gether, they could not be gotten into
a more concentrated and solid form
than the proclamation Of emancipation
has given them. He then who sup
ports and sustains that war measure of
the Administration, supports and sus>
tains Abolitionism; and Abolitionism
is the dam and sire Of disunion. Like
the whorine Jubiter, it begot and
brought forth that accursed brat.
Before 1 proceed farther, let me say
that 1 shall not be prevented, by mock
delicacy, from acknowledging that l
accept and approve all the eulogistic
compliments which have been or can
be paid to their candidate for Lieut..
Governor. | have not yet sounded
the key note of praise or started the
tune Of his laudation, but may | not
be permitted to join in the chorus? II
it is said che is great in intellect, un-
surpassed in eloquence, brave, honora-
Bile and patriotic" my echo sounds out
''brave, honorable, patriotic and
the first part of the sentence remains,
fully approved in the silent chambers
of my heart. But truly, our oppo>
nents are giving luditrous proof of
of their belief in his versatility. When
the news of my brothers nomin alton
reached here l was told with a pleas
ant emphasis; eve have a strong team
now, Brough and Anderson" You
know thoroughbred and cocktail are
now and then put together to make ex-
traordinary time, the running horse to
bear all the weight of the tongue,
whilst the other, throwing himself on
the bit, shall "g'lang" at the top of
his speed. Ny friend neglected to in
form me whether the world was about
to be astonished at trotting or pa
cling velocity-whether the laurel
wreath was to be snatched from the
brow of Flora Temple, or Pocahon-
tas made to lower her flag at their
feet. Perhaps he intended | should
Judge rather guess, for myself. Well,
then, from the form, figure and tatness
Of Smiling Jack, | should say the lat
ter, especially as he has always been
great on the shuttle.
I I beg leave to offer the managers of
this political race little advice. Let
their driver beware how he cracks his
whip about Charley's flank, for, if he
touches him even 50 lightly as fly, he
will show them some of the tallest
kind Of kicking they ever saw Or heard
of. Give him the bit, watch the tip
Of his ear, for if ever he shows all the
white Of his eye and puts his left ear
forward, look out--your ducks are
nearer the gate Of the hot place than
