WEEKLY SENTINEL.
MONDAY, MAY 30.
" Coward! jr"
- We referred yesterday to the position of the
Indianapolis Journal, the central orgaTt of the
Republican party ia Indiana, upon the evils of
war. It preferred disunion rather than such a
Calamity should befall the country. Similar
views were entertained and avowed by the organ:;
aod Representatives of the now dominant party.
Fearful then id the responsibility of that class,
now clamoring for a vigorous prosecution of the
"war, for the "enormous sacrifices of blood and
.treasure which the nation bas make and id yet
making." Why the change? The Si msebs, the
Wilsoxs, the Garrisons, and the "one idea"
men they represent would give no support or en
cooragement to the war until they hoped through
'its agency to accomplish the abolition of slavery .
tad in addition New England stood aloof from
the strife until she believed that Lcr sectional
Interests would be promoted thereby. Up to the
inauguration of Mr. Liscolx, the abolitionists
were In favor of disunion, but as soon as they
were impressed with the conviction that they
could use the administration and the power of
the government to advance their schemes, then
suddenly they became "Uuion-savers."
. While the secessionists have no excuse for no
contending for their rights and sectional iutercits
within the Union and under the Constitution,
there can be no doubt but the abolitionists would
have consented at any time and would even now
consent to disunion and the acknowledgement of
the Southern Confederacy, if the war was not
conducted for the purpose of effecting the aboli
tion of slavery. To secure that object, and that
alone, they are willing to give the war "aid ai:d
comfort," but for no other purpose. If the Ad
ministration should announce that the war was
to be prosecuted for the objects set forth ia the
Crittenden resolution almost unanimously adopt
ed by Congress, July' 22d, 1861, wc have not a
doubt that the New Eogland abolitionists would
be in favor of peace in favor of a separation
upon the same terms advocated by the New York
Tribune, - the Chicago Tribune, the Cincinnati
Commercial and other leading Republican papers
after the election of Mr. Li.ncolx, aud for six
months afterwards. Such is the consistency of
the Republican party.
A Inlon bf rorce-Wendell Flillllp
... on lt.
At the recent anniversary meeting of the
American Anti-Slavery Society, Wendell Phil
lips said:
You can never make this nation one by force.
It was possible in 1661. wheo, as I think, one
balf of the South was Uuion and the other half
Confederate. The great Crittendeu resolution of
July, 1861 ( was based on that idea that a large
body of Southern white men were on our side,
and only wanted to be assured that we meant to
be conciliatory, and they would show themselves.
Possibly it might have been so; but we can never
know now, because every month of the war has
built op a Confederate sentiment; angered, con
firmed against us. Jefferson Daria made a rebel
lion; it was alt he could make. Abraham Lin
coln made a Confederacy; no roau but he could
have made it. Hisses. Well, if itia not true dis
prove it. Applause The Crittendeu resolution
was passed, as 1 believe, on the sound basis that
the South bad been hurried against her will into
rebellion. Fremont's statesmanlike word ech
oed over Missouri. Applause Had it been sec
onded, with that element at the South aud simi
lar enthusiasm at the North, we might have
beaten out the rebellion in six or nine mouths,
and bad the South not thoroughly alieuate'd from
vs. But the men who bavc loft their eons, their
property, their houses, who have seen the loved
form of their State beaten to ashes these men
re to-day Confederates from anger, who were
once Unionists from old association. Three
years of war bare rooted that which was merely
a temporary rebellion into a planted Confederacy,
and it is the slowness and indifference of the
Government that have done it. To day, there
fore, the man who takes the helm of the vessel
of State in bis hand, has a ten fold harder work
to do than Abraham Lincoln bad in March, ltGl
for be has got the South, so fir as such a thing
can be, unanimous against bim. You cannot
reconstruct this Union on the loyalty of the
white men at the South ; there is nothing of it.
Y"ou tr.ay conquer them to New Orleans ; you
may roer Virginia with the best blood of the
Kcrth and of the South both, and, wheu it is
over the South will bate you worse than before.
You must reconstruct these Slates on the loyalty
of somebody. How shall it be done? There
are but two ways
One is to keep thetn territories fur twenty
years, until this generation dies out, until the
temptations of business, nntil the patronage of
the Government, until the associations, until the
immigration of Northern mercantile interests
shall replace that white population. Then you
may do it. But, in the meintime. you must
keep one half of this' country uuder the form of
Territories, and trust the Government with
despotic power. I tremble for such an experiment.-.
In the hands of such men as some we
have seen ia the Presidential chair, I should
Rive up all hopes of ever again ceing a Republic.
The only other way to reconstruct the Union and
save republican institutions is to reconstruct it on
the only loyal basis that exists the blacks.
Applause. If there are not 10,000 white men
in Sew Orleans who will vote for us, as there are
not (Gen. Banks had to press his own soldiers up
to the ballot-box to make that number,) then
take the 400,000 blacks give them a vote link
tbem to the fortunes of the Union acknowledge
the manhood of the black man till the white man
u converted. Applause
tSTMcCIellan never retreated. His march to
Harrison's Landing was at advance. It placed
him piratically within twelve miles of Richmond.
It was Lincoln who ordered McDowell to retreat,
instead of effecting a junction with McClellan
a D-d taking Richmond. It was Lincoln who re
called McClellan and his army from Die James
river, displaced him, and ordered the disastrous
overland march under Pope.
The contrast between Gen. McClallan aud the
little dogs that bark at his heels was never more
marked than in bis deportment toward General
Grart. The followinz anecdote is true in spirit,
if not to the letter: ,
"A Western editor who recently visited New
York, went to see McClellan. He asked the
General what be thought of the Presidential cou
test. Gen. McClellan answered that it was "a
matter that no one need bother about; that it was
settling itself, and if Grant took Richmond, be
would be the popular candidate, and would have
no opposition." , ' ,

ity rail at it. Albauy Argus.

always so with him In 1835 he wrote a letter
to Mr.. Seward in which be thu denounced the
Republican party :
"II your party hold your doctrines the North
is far more deeply Interested in abolishing it than
in "abolishing slavery. For no free people on the

tlon An Arraignment of taU Course
From the cw Tork New Nation, (Fremont Radical re

FOE CLEVELAND. " . -
The time has come in the language of the
call for the Cleveland Convention for all inde
pendent men, all who are jealous of the national
liberty and greatness, to unite in a common ef
fort to oppose an insurmountable barrier against
the flood of shame and ruin that is pouring over
the country from Washington, and threatens' to
bury even the American name. Inaugurated
in terror" and cowardice, the present Administra
tion tended inevitably to the painful end which
we have before our eyes. Error as to the true
bearing aud character of the contest; error as to
its probable duration; looking only upon com
promise as a possible solution of the struggle,
and protecting in slavery tbo very source of the
conflict, the administration of Mr. Lincoln could i
only and inevitably terminate in the half ineas- j
tires which prolong crises and never conclude
them; cowardice in dealing with foreign powers,
which did Lot blush to assimilate themselves to
revolted criminals under the name of belligerents;
cowardice in dealing with England, imperiously
demandiug the Trent prisoners, notwithstanding
the open manifestation of the popular will; cow
ardice iu dealing with Louis Napoleon, who in
solently treads the Monroe doctrine uudcr foot
and slaps us in the face with its fragments,
staiued with Mexican blood; cowardice toward
the whole world, in suffering, without reprisals,
our commerce and our flag to be iusulted in
every ea by pirates issuing from the ports of
powers which make war upon us under the shel
ter of uetratity; everywhere cowardice.
Americans! is this the device w hich our fathers
left us? Is it this which we shall leave to our
children? Without energy for good, without
force n gainst evil, aud without intelligence to
forscc and to direct, what Las become of our
liberties, and w bat bas become of the immense
resources of every kind, put by patriotism at the
discretion of our executives? Our liberties! we
have teen them succumb, one by one, without a
murmur, without a single popular protest to vin
dicate right and justice outrageJ; military pro
consuls have everywhere replaced the law by
caprice, and the Judge by the Provost Marshal;
the habeas corpus no longer exists, ind the ca
pricious bell of Mr. Seward sends, without power
of resistance, the best citizens of the Kepnblic to
d.-am in a dungeon over our lost liberties. Thero
is not a citizen to-day who can be secure in going
to sleep at nicht, that he will not awake a crimi
nal not by the law, but by the will of a pro
consul or his agents.
That which England would have defeuded to
the last drop of her blood, that which is the
most glorious appendage of the Anglo-Saxon
race, its pride in, and its attachment and respect
tor tne liberty or the citizen, we have abandoned
without a protest.
Are we descendants of those stuidv baxotis
who never kuew how to bend their beads, or are
we the effeminate sons of the Latin race, of
whom servility is the distincuishinz character
istic?
In fighting for universal liber tV, are we going
to surrender our own? Our national wealth ia
following in the wake of our liberties. The re
sources heaped up by a century of persevering
labor, that prosperity which was the envy of the
world and our just pride, is flowing off at the
rate of four millions of dollars a day, into the
pockets of contractors, scattered and wasted by
incapacity on tne bnttleneld, aud corruption in
public transactions. Prostrate, ruined and dis
honored, have we at least theconsolation to see
all these sacrifices crowned by victory over our
enemies? Judge for yourselves. After three
years of voluntary impotence, after having
steadily drained our wealth and our blood iu such
a way as just to carry our existence along far
enough to bring us exhausted to the moment of
a Presidential election, the Administration, draw
ing together for a supreme last effort all the force
of the nation, stakes its existence on a last card
iu order to perpetuate itself iu power, or, if it
falls, to leave with its successor only a ruin
and remembrance of a greatness destroyed for
ever. All our resources arc engaged, not in those-
combats of civilized people where modern sci
ence wins victory while it spares life, but in a
human hecatomb, like the recorded struggles of
barbarian auti juitv, where masses take the place
of intelligence, and where cxhtustion and death
take the place of victory a triumph of darkness
over light. History w ill mark with Iter bloody
finger this ferocious butchery, a shame to hu-
mauitv aud a sum uihui thi aiie of civilization
and progress.
e have lost at least 40,000 men in less than
tea days; we push forward our militia; what af
terward? Is it enough to pay dearly the igno
rance of those who instead of leading our men
to victory lead them to death? The imagina
tion refuses to look at the consequences of a
disaster in such circumstances. Under this Ad
ministratiou, sold to foreigners by fear or by
interest, wc have seen that saddest aud most
incredible spectacle of the wotk of our ancestors
bafiled aud overthrow n before it had yet reached
a century of existence, but which was also a
century of unexampled prosperity.
Shades of ashington, of Jenersou, of Mon
roe and Jacksou, of Adams, of Ciay, of Web
ster, and of Benton, tell our countrymen if you
recognize that republic which you knew bow to
make so great! Isloodv hbaues of the hemes of
independence, you who have founded the republic
by heroism trad suffering against the numbers and
treasures of England, rise up and tell us if you
recoguie your battles of giants where energy
and valor supplied the place of numbers, in
thci-e human hecatombs under incompetence!
Urne forward. loucli with your finger the
bodies of these contractors fiUod with the peo
ple's gold, mocking st the devastation and smil
ing over the catioaal ruin; touch and tell us if
your antique virt-ie retlies the existence of thestf
humau vultures!
People! There is vet time for vou to rise on.
There is yet time for vou to pass in review the
acts of a guilty administration, which bas be
trayed your confidence, and to arrest its course.
1 he moment h is come to launch out from the
new world the great truth that administrations
aro made by the people auJ for the people, and
not the people for the administration; and that
howsoever great may be their forbearance for
their servants, howevsr. long miy be their for
getfulness of their interests, when the measure is
full the people wilt declare that they alone are
sovereigu and change their administration. The
time has come to change that which for three
years past bas occupied the White House; the
time bas come to clean out the Augean stables
and to select the Hercules charged with that
task. On to Cleveland!
An Amorous Aeronaut
A late French journal relates the following
well invented story, which, it wifTbc seen, is
French all over :
While Möns. Godard was fillinir aitvlmmen.se
balloon in the Champ de Mars, be amused the
spectators by sending np the small ngure ot a
man, the perfect semblance of M. Theirs with
out spectacles. The little man being filled with
gas, rose majestically into the air, and was soon
lost to view among the clonds. His adventures,
which became known the next dav, were curious.
Thanks to a strong and favorite gale, which
impelled him on his course, the little balloon
man arrived the same afternoon in sight of a
fine countrv bouse in the neighborhood of
Bicvro. It was near the hour of dinner, and
the lady of the mansion, who naturally thought
herself "perfectly safe, was ocrupied in the mys
teries of her toilet.
It was a warm day, and he had-opened one
ot the windows which looked out upon the park,
and was safe from any prying eyes. "While
tranquilly engaged, by the assistance of corset
lacing, in reducing her waist to a size and shape
that would reflect credit on her husband's taste,
she was suddenly startled by a blast of wind,
followed by a strange noise"; and imnltdiatcly
the casement was thrown open, and our little
balloon man entered the chamler unannounced.
The lady utters a cry of terror, and throws ft
shawl over her t-houldcrs. The little man, driv
en by the wind, throws himself upon the un
happy woman, who, screaming louder than ever,
pushes him off, and he conceals himself under
the bed.
Just as the wife, in a tupplicating voice, sars
to this novel Don Juan, "Ah, Monsieur, go
away, or you will ruin me 1" the husband fu
riously rushes in, crying, "Ah, the wretch, I
have him now!" and goes in search of bis
sword to run hhn through the body. The wife,
more dead than alive, reiterates, in the midt of
sobs, " Fly, fly, Monsieur, and save me the
sight of a dreadful tragedy 1" The husband ar
rives, armed to the teeth, followed by the whole
household, who eek to mollify his ftnger.
While two of his friends hold the hu-band, a
third, stooping down, perceive our little friend,
who for good came utters not a word, and catch
ing him by the leg, draws him forth from his
Concealment, when, lo ! Monsieur Balloon, no
longer held down by the bedstead, raises him
self erect, swells out, and rises majestically to
the ceiling, to the immense amusement or the
spectators, while the poor jealous husband
slinks away, sword and all, heartily ahamed of
his causeless wratn. r

Old Abe w ill have bis joke. The Washing

Hard Fighting The severity of the loss
on each side, as well as the universal testimony
of those engaged, shows that the fighting in the
present campaign in Virginia is the hardest yet
seen in that army. We learn from a private fet

Are theke Men ix tut Moos i Mr. II.
B. Small, late of Lincoln College, Oxford, re
cently delivered a lecture on the moon's struc
ture, before the Montreal Historical Society of
Montreal. After explaining that Astronomers
had Ae en unable to discover any signs of the ex
btence of an atmosphere surrounding the moon,
the lecturer said : " If we are to make our ar
gument of the moon being inhabited from anal
ogy, we must start from some of the essential
conditions of life on this glolie. Take, for in
stance, air could we conceive existence with
out it how ßtrange it would be. Little is thought
in our daily career of the functions of the atmos
phere. In its absence eternal silenco must
reign, conversation must be carried on only by
signs, the eagle and condor would flap their
wings in vain attempts rise, no fuel would burn,
nothing but electric li;,ht dispel the darkness.
No tinted clouds or gorgeous skies, but monot
ony of scenes, ubiquity of darkness. Failing
thus to exhibit the prime motor of life, it has
been asserted that the moon is no evidence of
the plurality of worlds. But modern discovery
has shown that there may be a probability of lite
existing there unknown to us. It has always
been thought that what was applicable to one
side of her disc, was applicable to the other.
But to Mr. Hausen, a distinguished continental
astronomer, is duo the honor of discovering a
discrepancy in that idea. The slightest devia
tion in time of the moon's course is noted accu
rately, and several cases of irregularity he has
ascribed to the effect of uncver gravitation. He
states that the centre of gravity and centre of
figure are not coincident, one being distant from .
the other eight miles ! ' Thus her sphere is com
posed of a light and heavy half. An egg with
ts small end pointed to the eye, represents well its
figure. Balls have been cast hollow, but with
one side thicker than the other ; the density be
ing given, calculation describes the curve to a
nicety, and vice versa. His conclusion, then, is
that the ' hemisphere turned toward us is the
lighter balf. The application of this to the
question of inhabitants is very direct, as air and
water would naturally gravitate to the heaviest
side ; and the imagigation is free to picture on
the hidden side of the moon, a world corrs
ponding to onr own in the enjoyments of air
and water."
Fort Slmter axd Chaelestox as Thkt
Are. Fort Sumter was associated with the
rebellion in its incipiency, and premises to
remain tho bulwark and defense of the pestilent
metroplis of treason to the termination of hostil
ities. The rebel have defended it with great
sacrifice, immenje life-oflering, with extraordina
ry tenacity and desperation. Its external appear
ance, as seen from Gregg's Point, is but little
changed since November last. On the sca-face,
obliquerom Morris Island, not a wall, rampart,
parapet, or anything resembling them, can be
distinguished; nothing is there but a ragged mass
of mortar, pounded into dost by the thousands
of projectiles fired from our gnns and mortars.
The berme or base, the sides and top are a mere
ruin to the eye looking like a bluff or steep hill
side, covered with broken shot, shell, iron beams,
fragments of guns, splintered gun carriages, and
other debri s of war. Yet tbe rebel flag floats
defiantly over the ruins, and the hateful red cross,
dots and bars, flaunt and dance on every breeze
that sweeps across the bay. Looking on
Sumter to-day does not confirm the announce
ment by onr Chief of artillery, in January last,
that "Sumter is now untenable and of no de
fensive value to the confederates." Our op
erations were abandoned too soon, and its pre
sent strength and defensive character confirms
that belief. It is still the citadel of Charles
ton, notwithstanding ita helpless appearaxxe.
Frort the parapet of Fort Putnam, on Oregg's
Point, I looked into Charleston (through a
field glass), and although the lower portions
of the city appeared dull and dilapidated, yet
it was far from being deserted. A blockade
steamer, which ran np the Swash channel the
night previous (past the entire fleet and In front
of our batteries), was blowing off steam at the
wharf, on the Ashley side of the city. Said
steamer was observed by our gunners in Wagner,
and several shots were fired at her, but without
effect. ,Two other blockade-runners got into
Charleston a fortnight since. So Caarleston is
not thoroughly blockaded by the fleet, nor was
it ever half besieged by the army. Immense
volumes of smoke were rolling out of some tall
chimnevs located in the northeast section of the
city, where it is said the confederacy have a
large foundry and ordnance manufactory.
Three iron-dad rams have been constructed there
within the last eighteen months, and now defend
the harbor above Castle Pinckney. Blackened
walls ami skeletons of buildings can be 6een in
different parts of the city, evidences of bombard
ment, siege and conflagration. The bombard
ment of Charleston, though unsuc cessful in its
capture has demonstrated a great xdea iu War
the astonishing destructiveness of artillery at
long range, a greater range than c-er before
resized. The batteries at Gregg's Point are
ovt four miles from Charleston, and yet we
have thrown shells into the city, from thirty and
OTia hundrcd-ixmndcr Parrott guns, daily and
nightly, for months past. The accuracy of onr
fire has also been remarkable and unprecedented.
Of course, that is due to rifled cannon, an im
provement that Vauban and Montalcmbert never
dreamed of, but which are as superior to smooth
bore guns as were the arms of the first Napoleon
over the leather guns of Gusfavn Adolphu.

! slavery mm the HcthodiU Church
In our correspondent's letter fiotn Philadel
phia will be found the report and resolutions
dopted by the general Conference of the Metho
dist Church ou the subject of slavery. Our
views upon mvery uro well known ; we have al-
wars believed the 'institution a great moral, so
cial aud political evil ; but it was an evil which
lime, under the operation of natural laws, and
the force of public opinion throughout the world
was growing less formidable every dav. It was
an evil we inherited from the colonial govern
ments, and conld not be torn out of our social
and political system without endangering the
life of the nation, w hich wc esteemed of vastly
more consequence to' liberty and civilization
throughout the world than its forcible destruction.
Many a life has been sacrificed by the indiscreet
zeal of an ignorant sureeou insisting upon usine
the knife, when, bad be made a correct diagnosis
of the case he would have arrived at the conclu
sion that nature in good time would restore the
patient to sound health. Relatively, slavery bas
been growing weaker and weaker, as compared
to tbe strength of the nation, every year since
the Declaration of Independence.
"It is important, says the present Sunerm
tendcut of the Census Bureau, Hon. James 0. G.
Kennedy, in his report to Congress, made May
II), 1K62, "to observe the growing disparity be
tween the pace at which -the white and colored
races are advancing in this country. While the
whites from lc50 to lcüü gained 33 per cent.,
the slaves and free colored increased somewhat
less than 22 per cent ; and the total increase of
the slave and free colored, for seventy years, was
but 45 per cent , against 757 per cent, for the
whites." The tables which Mr. Kennedy pub
lishes shows that the slaves, compared with the
whites, have relatively been diminishing ever
since the formation of the Constitution.
If these are facts, why could not the over
zealous men of the North, who bear a strong
family likeness to the Pharisee who said his
prayers in public places so that he might be seen
or beard, or to Uudibras' hero, who
"Couipouadei tbe slus be was inclined to,
Ejr damning those he had no mind to."
Why, we say, could not theso men let the sub
ject alone. In view of the terriblo consequences
which bave followed these fanatical attacks on
slavery, we cannot understand how any man or
set of men, can rejoice that they have from the
beginning been foremost in this coutest against
slavery. A diseased limb on the natural body
has nothing to commend it; It is grievous to be
borne, causing much pain and great inconveni
ence, but the quack of a surgeon who kills bis
patient in endeavoring to remove it, when all the
symptoms show that the patient will recover if
let alone and is kindly nursed td treated, would
deserve the universal condemnation of tbe com
munity; and what should be said of or done to a
man who boasts of bis acts, which have resulted
thus fatally, we leave to the good sense of every
Christian and philanthropist. For one, much as
we dislike slavery, we consider tbe crusade
against it. conducted as it ba3 been, and resulting
in the civil war which has rent our country in
twain and drenched it iu blood, destroying tbe
Constitution and imperilling all of our free in
stitutions, as a thousand fold greater evil than
slavery. We do not think that any man who
has the right feeling, can boast of his participa
tion in the acts which bave produced this great
calamity. Detroit Free Press.
Old Abe's Last Joke. Wc do not know
what joke Old Abe made when he heard of the sur
render of Plymouth. In regard to the Fort Pillow
affair be made a Busby speech, but no joke. His
last joke, of which we have any knowledge,
occurred when Secretary Chase was starting on
his trip to New York. Old Abe is like Crom
well, without his millitary genius, and is verjr
fond of playing practical jokes upon his associ
ates. It is said that after Cromwell had signed
the warrant for tho execution of King Charles
he turned round to one of his colleagues and
smeared bis face with ink. This he thought
capital fun. Old Abe's jokes are of about the
same quality. When Chase called upon him to
say cood bye, the secretary of the treasury asked
for some information about the probable end of
the war, saying that it would help him greatly
in getting more money in Wall street. "Do you
want more money?' asked Old Abe, and then
quickly added, "Vhat! has the printing machine
gin out?" This joke is fullveqnal to Cromwell's.

his farm "Fickardt's Cattle Powder," and from the bene
ficial effect derived from it, takes pleaenr. ia recom
mending the article to all fanners as a valuable prepara

dispotdiion for food, on their taking "Fickardt's Cattle
Powder," soon recovered their appetite, and in a short
time became fat aud in good condition.

Dr. ab Sis It Is with pleasure tbat I certify to the in
valuable properties of your Cattle Powder. I bave been
using it for nearly eight month. In last June I was
traveling, my horse became very sick, so bad that 1 had
to return home and apply to a Farrier. It waa nearly
ten months before be was fit to use, he beinr in such a
low condition. I happened to stop in at Mr. W. White's
and saw your Cattle Powder. I made np my mind to try
a package, and after using two of them, it was surpris
ing to ete.y one who raw the horse, to see how much he
had improved in flesh and spirit. Tbe who had seen
him before he became s rk, could scarcely believe him to
be tbe same. I also recoaimend tbe Powder as being a
fine thing for the mine, and also to improve the coat, as
it gives it a fine, silky appearance. My friends, seeing
the advantage of it, have commenced using it among
their Cattle. Ko penson should be without it in their
stables. I have seen it fully tested, and do consider it
one of tha best aficles in use.
Tours, very respectfully,
GEOKCK SXTDER.
We, tbe undersigned, bave used your Powder, at tbe
request of our friend, George Snyder, and find it very
useful among our cattle.
