M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1865-07-13
The Dmocratie Party.


Of our Democrats in Viuton and ad
ipinig counties: "Some of the AbO
lition papers are endeavoring to Gre
ate the belief that there is a split in
the Democratic party in Onio-not
that they believe it, but because they
want it to I've believed. Other papers
OF that class are wiser and warn their
realers not to be be9uiled by any
such nonsense. 1t is tine that few
men--a very faw--,he leaders of

Democracy" The Democracy Of
Andrew Jackson is not good enough
for them. The Democracy Of the Two
million Of voters who voted for
Mcclellan for President is not good
enough fot them, Nothing iS good
enough for them that is not dictated
by them. The opinions Of other men
are entitled to no consideration, the
talents Of all other men are contempt
ible, their learning mere chaff, and
their services deserving no manner
of appreciation. Had these men

ahnibiIatIoul Why, Democrats, you
are required to declare that Jackson
was no Democrat, because he denied
the right Of a State to sccedo, aud
that Mr. VIM. NJ. Cory is the indis-
patabIe head OF your party, because
he says State has that right. IT. is
true that no such plank was ever
found in IA Democratic platform, and
that the Southern States have quit
talking about the right Of secession,
but why should not We allow Mr.
Cory to have new plank for us
and to c)othe us in the cast-of gar
ments Of the South2
Secoudlv-Yoa arc required to
proclaim from the house-tops that
Negro slavery is inevitable, desirable
and right. Here again it is true that
such plank has never been in our
platform, and that the South, what
ever may be it's opinion as to the
right, policy or humanity of Negro
slavery, seems to have MAGE no lts
mind that Negro freedom is inevita-
ble. But this does no. deter Mr.
Cory. Many great men at the South
taught secession and slavery, and
failed. But what Mr. Cory teaches
can not fsil-in his opinion.
But enough Of this-and our only
excuse for writing this much, is that
we are not likely to ever recur to the
subject again. This pretended or
ganization of another party is a
mere sham. 1t has not even the merit
of originality, notwithstanding the
great geniuses who are making a
fuss about it. Thirty odd years ago,
when Gen. Jackson was President,
the same thing, upon pretty much
the same secession plank, VAS tried
in Ohio. It came TO pothing then,
and this poor imitation will come to
moth ing now: The whole coun try
knows that the Democl acy are a
STATE Rights party not secession
lists, but State Rights men in the
