The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1864-1911, 1867-01-23


Massachusetts, tlauthterl has proclaimed
land It IS the doctrine of may that when
+ the liou>e of Representative LITER It's in
pGaciment OF the President he United
/ States has deprived him of his Office, he ls
I n crimlcal under arrest and subject to the lc-
4 tlon Of Congress, and can not only be de-
| posed, but another President be put in bis
! place. Mr.. Chairman, Radical Republicans
for -four years past have educated yOu and |
I and all oi Us to respect and obey the Gov
/ ,rnmcnt, and they have said oyer and over
! again that the Departments of the Govern
ment are the Government of the United
/ States, and if they ever demand the i'm
1 parchment of the President of the United
/ States, and proclamation comes from that
! President about to be deprived of his office,
! in my opinion it will require not only one
railroad, but ten thousand railroads viii not
be enough to transport the Democracy of
/ this country to Washington for his support.
The Government must he sustained; the
Supreme Court must be sustained the au-
thorities Of the Government and the laws oI
| the Government must be sustained; and by
no Rump Congress, by no exercise of ar
bitrary pow, is the President of the Unit-
ed States TO be elected, and another substi-
tututed in his place, because be will not give
every Republican who desires it an office.
Hence say VIC are on the very verge of
revolutionary times, and it is time for the
people to rally and restate and reproclalm
the principles Of our Government, and see
where. Congress is leading the people. If
ever there was truth written in letters Of
light, it was that Republicans and Radicals
are not capable of governing the country;
they do not know how to administer govern
Their only idea Of government is military,
a hwess, violent government. Of a
| home government, a democratic gov m
ment. a government OF the people, they
never have had any apprehension, from the
days OF the alien laws to the present time,
and in my opinion they never can be edu-
Gated in the Constitutional principles Of
this Government. The impeachment of
the President, without cause, without rea-
son-thiS is revolution, and nothing but
revolution, And Congress is on the eve of
this revolution, and it is necessary to speak
plain. and so that we shall be heard in
NaShi lgtOn ty tie men who are attempting
this. Let them know that it will not be
acquiesced in by the Democratic people of
the United States. Let the administrators
OF law and order every where know let
the courts Of Justice and ministers of relig-
iO7 know thar obedience to the Government
is'obeditnce to God, and that in the over
throw Of government by lawless force is the
overthrow of labor and capital, and an up,
heaying of un. very foundations of the
country. Tell me no that | speak too
plainly We have the bcne ai.a muscle of
the country, aud they can and will maintain
the Government of the United States
against all enemies, lspeak therefore, for
law and order, and against revolution. [
speak 70, obedience to tie interests of my
country. speak for the Constitution
which Washington and Madison and Frank
lin lrquyathtd % us, tEtir children. The
speaker then alluded TO negro suffrage.1
which he was oppo-ed to- The partnership
of the white urau and the negro was 20 new
thing. The experiment had been tried ever
and over again 1t Lad been tried in Cen
ttal America, in the States upon the LA
Plata, in Chill to some cXtcrt, il Peru, in
llayti in Jamaca, and in Mexico, ard
wherever the experimc mt had tecn tried +,
had been fatal to Rcpul! !ican institr
and conductive to aLaathy, And SET sr
: ia es in Ol own land were to lie Eev9 out
until they submitted to this pat ratip
MI have to say III conclusion is, that when
war is over and peace restored to Cur cJgds
try once more, we never can rGau'na CUR
status among foreign nations, we is-yer cam
advance properly the growth of this counl
try until we cease all efforts to govern that
vast territory from the Potomac to tho j}io
Grande as Territory We should be de-
claring self t-governmcDt failure, and proc
claiming it to all the nations Of the earth.
Millions Of people in the Southern country,
we are told now, are no more fit for self
government than tie people Of ireland,
Poland, Austria, or Italy, and therefore for
years to come they must submit to be gov
erned as provinces No more antiDemo-
craticor dangerous doctrine could be pro-
than this-nothing better to up
hold monarchies than this, that the people
Of the South are incapable of self govern
ment And wish to call particular atten-
tion to the manner in which the progress
ard @ ow'h Of this vast country is destroyed
bp this attempt to govern vast sections of it
bv force. In looking at the future of this
have looked With the same pleas
ure as to the past. Give us peace, and
happiness, and prosperity, and triumph
of our rscli-eovermment. The fire OF Demo.
cratic prinripIcs, the historical, unqueneha-
hle fire which has burned scince the creation
of man, burns now as ever. We never
haye been frightened by arbitrary authority.
| he seeds of Demociatic principles are as
living as the seeds Of the earth and will
rise higher and higher as tine extends and
history prCiongS its narrative.
