THE SENTINEL,!
RWIKVILHI, T!D.
SATURDAY. ::: MARCH 29, 1866,
The Presidential Campaign.
T!ie following articlo we copy from the
*‘ Baltimore Republican,” tlic organ of
the democratic party of that city, and
wo doubt not it speaks the true senti
ment of every democrat who has at heart
the good of his country:
“The Know-nothing party has placed
its candidates for the Presidential cam
paign before the country at an unusually
early period, and if there be any advan
tage iu being first on the course, they
have secured that. We have little doubt
the Abolition party proper will also have
a candidate, for although they might be
satisfied with Fillmore, they could hardly
be expected to take I>onelson, with his
stupid boast of being the owner of a
hundred negroes. The Democratic party
then must bo expected to have the com
bined strength of the Know-nothing and
Abolition parties to contend against in
the next Presidential campaign. It may
reasonably expect to be aided iu this
battle by that portion of the old Whig
party, which holds the Constitution and
the equal rights of all citizens as of
more importance than the indulgence of
hatred towards their old political oppo
nents.
“The present period is, Iu many of
its features, much like to that which
brought (Ten. Jackson to the Presidency,
(lid party i.-.sucs have been set aside;
new principles have been introduced,
and new combinations have been formed.
As in the old Jackson times, many of
flic leading Federalists of that day united
heartily with the Democracy, so at this
day, many honorable,high-minded Whigs
have united with us in defence of the
Constitution and its guarantees of civil
and religious liberty to all citizens, and
against tlitf new party of proseriptionists.
The Whigs, who have thus thrown aside
their prejudices and rallied with the
Democracy, in defence of the Constitu
tion, deserve, and should receive, our
fullest confidence and respect. They
should be entitled to share in the posts
of honor, and bo made to feel that they
arc placed upon a fair and equal fuuting
upon the platform of the Constitutional
party.
“Wc believe that it would meet with
the approbation of all true friends of
Democratic principles for the several
conventions to extend a hand of cordial
greeting and friendship to those of the old
Whig party who in this contest arc found
battling with us in behalf of cherished
principles and against the wild fanaticism
which is at present so rife in the land.
“Let these honorable men see that
the Democratic party knows how to ap
preciate their motives, and is as ready to
bury the remembrance of past party con
tests as themselves. If Whigs and
Democrats, the most violent and abusive
of each other, can eomo together as
Know-nothings, what is there to prevent
the honorable and more conservative men
of both parties uniting as brothers to
stem the current of bigotry and sectari
an strife which threatens the destruction
of the Constitution and dissolution of the
Union? We can see no reason why
they should not thus unite. And surely
patriotism, policy, and regard for the
peace of the country, all urge such union
with a voice too strong to be mistaken or
disregarded.”
I’exnsvlva.ma Local Flections.— j
The town elections took place in Penn-1
sylvauia on Friday last. In Reading, I
J. B. Wanner, Dem., was chosen Mayor
by -1 majority. Last year the Demo- 1
erats there were defeated by 704 majori
ty. In the borough of Washington the ;
Democrats were successful by 70 majori
ty. At Danville the people’s ticket was
chosen by 300. Last year the Ameri
cans wore successful there by 200. At j
Bristol, (he vote for Chief Burgess stood
Packer, Dein., 300 ; Joyce, American,
151. At Harrisburg tho Americans
elected the Chief Burgess, High Consta
ble, and one Councilman, and tho Dem
ocrats tho Assistant Burgess, and two |
Councilmen, the rest of the officers being
divided between tho two parties.
Delegates. —Tho following gentlemen
have b.ecn elected as Delegates to repre
sent St. Mary’s county, in the Demo
cratic State Convention which assembles j
in Baltimore on the 30th of April:—
Col. C. Billingsley, Dr. James H. 1
Miles, and Col. ]). Q, Hearn. Alter-j
nates — Col. B. G. Harris, Francis J.
Stone, and Henry J. Carroll, Esquires.
The name of “Republican” has
become so bad since the party of treason
able proclivities adopted it (hat the Book
Island (111.) Republican, astauneb Dem
ocratic sheet, lias taken the name of;
Argus.
dt-rf The Providence Post announce"
the marriage of “ Mr. Jonathan Know
Nothing, youngest son of Ned Runtime,
Fail, to Miss Temperance Freedom, on-;
ly daughter of the Kickapoo Rang r.-.”
£4PHtu. T. F. Bowit will pleasenc
*ept our tnanka for public documents.
National Whigs in North Carou- j
na.— The lialoigh Standard furnishes
the evidence below that the national |
Whigs-of North Carolina are taking the i
plain, common-sense, patriotic view of
the duty of all nationol men in the pend
ing contest:
“ Wo hear from various portions of
the State of high-minded, patriotic Whigs ;
who, in the struggle now going forward
between the national Democracy and the
black republicans, iiave avowed their
determination to act with the Democrat
ic party, the only really constitutional
party in the country. The lion.-Thom
as L. Clingman and the lion. John
Kerr are now both substantially with us,
and among others w ho will doubtless co
operate with us for the future, we may
mention Thomas Coring, Karp, tlm able
editor of tho Wilmington Commercial;
Jonathan Albertson, Fsi]., in - 1852 the
representative of Perquimans county in
tlic commons; William 8. Ransom, Fsq.,
of Warren county; Doctor William Ter
ry, of Anson county; and George Green,
Fsq., a young and rising man, and re
cently one pf tlie commoners from Cra
ven. Mr. Green lias been appointed a
delegate to the llemoeratic State Con
vention by tho Democrats and anti-
Know-nothings of Craven. Wo are
glad to have the aid and 00-operution of
i all such Henry Clay Whigs. These
[ gentlemen have not forgotten that in
: 1850 Clay and Cass, Webster and King,
and Douglas anil Badger stood s-ido In
side, without regard to party feeling, in
tho great effort then made to settle the
slavery question and save the Union.
They feel that the country is in greater
perii now than it was then ; and they be
lieve, as we do, that tho only party which
may be able to save it is the Democratic
party. We should likewise be gratified
to see tlioso honest and well-meaning
Democrats who were induced by false
pretences to unite themselves with the
Ivnow-nothiag party come back to their
old faith and range themselves under
their old and still glorious and triumphant
banner. Como back, friends !—.there
shall be more joy over one sinner that
reponteth than over ninety and uiuo that
need no repentance.”
Kansas. —A gentleman of intelligence
and probity in Kansas, in a recent letter
| to a friend iu Washington, writes as
I follows:
“ Judging from the Prerident’s pro
clamation and tlic statements I see in the
newspapers, l should be led to believe
that Kansas was in a state of anarchy,
and that bloodshed prevailed to a great
extent. Such is not the case, and, so
far as my observation extends, we areas
quiet here as they arc elsewhere. To be
sure, occasionally a fracas occurs between
pro and anti-slavery men ; but sueti af
fairs are always greatly exaggerated, and
are used in Washington and other parts
! of the country inertly for political pnr
j poses.”
A Dagcrreotvpe. —Tho Hartford
Times furnishes its readers with the fol
lowing spirited daguerreotype:
“ What a queer collection of political
nondescripts and ‘strange bedfellows-’ is
that of the new-fangled Republican-
Know-nothing party ! Surely, there was
never before seen, hvConnectieut or any
where else, such a singular assortment
of horns and cloven hoofs, birds of ill
omen, lions, lambs, and ‘creeping tilings,’
since the day when Noah’s collection
weut, one by one, into the ark!”
&-2T A good joke was perpetrated in
the Abolition-Know-nothing State Con
vention recently held in Connecticut.
A gentleman was vary anxious that Pro
fessor Sillinian should be nominated for
Governor, on the ground that lie was “a
great chemist, and could analyze all kinds
of soils.” One of tho minor men is said
to have replied that “eminent as he is
in such matters, it was doubtful if be
: could analyze the elements of that con
vention ?”
JLfT The ‘State of Maine’, an old-line
Whig paper, makes the following frank
admission :
“We saw tho statement a few days
since in a reliable anti-Nebraska paper
in Massachusetts, that, regret it as they
might, tlxe feeling of opposition to the
Nebraska bill was dying out. We think
the election in Now Hampshire confirms
that statement.”
The Kansas Committee. —lt is said
that George G. V’ogg, of Concord, N.
11., will be the chief clerk of the Kansas
Congressional committee; S. I*. Hans
com, of Boston, assistant clerk, and
William Blair Lord, of Baltimore, re-1
porter.
“Americans must rule America/’
says the Know-nothingplatform. “Yes,”
says a cotcniporary, -‘Black Hawk tried
it in 1832, and the Mark Feet and the
Flat Heads are trying it now !”
lt*T Our exchanges from Arkansas I
are filled with Know-nothing withdraw
als. The last Little Rock Democrat
contains the withdrawal cards of fourteen
more Know-nothings. Verily is “Sam” j
drawing his last breath in Arkansas !
What an Abolitionist! —The prop
erty of Cassius M. CHay, the great Ken
tucky abolitionist, is advertised to be sold
at auction, and includes tire nig-ten slaves, :
men, women, and children!
It is said the coat of the new
dome for tho centre of the Capitol at
Washington will be 01,000,000.
H-ef' The Dubuque (Iowa) Tribune'
says that live hundred good mechanics
will be wanted in that city the coming |
ioisnn.
To the Old-line Wuioa of Mary
land.—The uudersigned, xvho advised a '
; call of the party to meet in Convention ,
in tho city of Baltimore the 31st of this i
| month, decui it now proper, after con
: .suiting our friends front various portions,
\ of the State, to postpone said meeting to
j Tuesday, 20th of April, when we trust
there will boa full attendance of our po
; litieal friends from each county.

“ Out ok tiieir own mouths they are
condemned.” —The Federal Union says:
“If there is any nationality iu the
party that nominated Millard Fillmore
and ANDREW JACKSON doncduon for
President and Vice President, in what
does it consist ? In the principle of op
position to foreigners, or the ‘Americans
to rule America’ doctrine? Why Don
elson, but a few years ago, pronounced
such doctrines akin to the alien and se
dition laws, and at war with every true
American sentiment. Docs their nation
ality consist in their soundness on the
slavery question ? Why, we have don
clson’s deliberately-published views in
this very paper, satisfactorily proving
Millard Fillmore’s administration of
the freo-soil stamp, and fixing upon
Mr. Fillmore the stigma of free-soil af
filiation. Out of their own mouths they
are condemned. Out of their own mouths
tho plea of nationality set up is fictitious
and entitled to no weight. Kuow-no
thingism is in a strait. It lias no na
tionality. Indeed, it is one thing in
Louisiana, and another in Tennessee,
and another in Virginia and Massachu
setts. The elements are without any
cohesive principle, and to claim anything
like nationality is as ridiculous as the
claim of the lost Bourbon or the divine
right of kiugs.”
Washington, March 27.—Tho Na
tional Executive Republican committee
are holding a conference to-night with
the leading anti-Nebraska members of
Congress, with a view of determining
the best course by which to concentrate
all opposed to slavery in the Territories
in securing the nomination of a conser
vative ami generally acceptable presiden
tial candidate. A circular addressed to
the people of the United States, inviting
their co-operation iu the course above
indicated, hint been prepared by F. I'.
Blair, Esq., but was not finally approved
by the committee.
Col. Forney’s withdrawal from the
1 nion will bo announced in that paper
to-morrow, lie retains his interest in
the Senate printing.
Gen. Whitfield, the sitting delegate
from Kansas, will leave on Sunday to
accompany tho special committee of the
House, all of whom by that time will be
on their way to that Territory.
The Mount Vernon Ladies’ Associ
ation op tub Union. —Referring to tho
act lately passed by the legislature of
\ irginia incorporating tho “Mount Ver
non Ladies’ Association of the Union,”
! for the purchase, by individual subscrip
tion, of two hundred acres of Mount!
Vernon place, including the mansion and
! tomb of Washington, with the intent that j
tlie same shall bo ceded to tho State of
Virginia, and held sacred forever as the
homo and last resting place of the Fath
er of his Country, the New York Com
mercial Advertiser remarks:
“ The sum asked by tho present pro
prietor, Mr. John A. Washington, fur
the two hundred acres, is two hundred
I thousand dollars, which is of course bo
-1 yond its value as laud. On (hat point,
however, there is no need to say any
-1 thing. The people of the United States
North and South, too deeply revere the
memory of Washington to stand disput
ing about the price of the ground where
; his mortal remains rest. The sum can
] easily be raised, too, by the united ef
forts of the ladies in both sections of the
| country. We notice that the act in
j question invests the association with the
title of the ‘Mount Vernon Ladies’ As
sociation of the Union.' We like that
from Virginia—from the heart of the
Old Dominion. It has the right cheer
ing ring of former glorious days, and
will, we doubt not, bo promptly echoed
from New York and other Northern
States in proffers of liberal co-operation
with the Ladies of Virginia to raise the
required sum for the purchase of the
precious earth that holds the mouldering
bones of tho man who was, is now, and
ever shall be, ‘first in the hearts of his
countrymen.’ ”
Mr. Buchanan. —The many friends
of this distinguished statesman will
doubtless be glad to learn that lie may \
be looked for to arrive in the United
States some time in the month of April.
According to a letter from him, received
by the last steamer, as soon as possible
after tlic arrival of his successor, it was
his intention to pay Paris a short visit,
and returning to Havre, to embark from
that point for home — Star.
XstTThe Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
says tho Cumberland Telegraph, is now
represented as being open to navigation
tl. loughout its entire length. The ice
here broke up on Monday morning, and
boats will depart for tide water as fast us
they can be got in readiness.
Columbian Guano. —The Philadelphia
Guano Company, who, by a treaty with
the government of the Republic of Ven
ezuela, have acquired the possession and
exclusive right of removing the exten-1
sivo guano deposits existing on desert|
islands in Carribbean sea, belonging to ,
the Republic, are making large importa
tions of the nrticjn tn meet the spring
demand. Tho deposits amount to sevc-:
ral millions of tons, and are said to have
exceedingly rich fertilizing properties.
Jtff Tlic grand jury of Washington,
D. C., has adjourned, it is said, without
finding a bill against Mr. Rust for as-1
vaulting Mr. Greeley.
Farmers’ Convention. —A Conven
tion of Farmers friendly to a reduction!
of the present price of guano, assembled |
at, W’iluiington, Del., last week. The I
delegates from Maryland were Clias. B. ■
Calvert, A. P. Willis, Samuel Sands, |
J. L. Davis and G. Stiles. The Con
vention, after adopting Urn following res
olutions, adjourned to meet at Washing
ton, 10th day of Juno next:
Resotvcd, That a committee of five
front each State represented here, be ap
pointed by the President of this Conven
tion to wait upon his Excellency the
President of tlie United States, aud to
request that some measures he taken by
our Government to induce the Peruvian
Government to permit American vessels
without restriction, to load with guano at
tlie Chinclia or other Peruvian islands—
a reasonable prieo being paid to the au
thorities of Peru.
Resoldd , That the exorbitant prieo
now asked for Peruvian guano will not
justify the farmer to purchase it, and
that this Convention recommend the
substitution of other fertilizers in its stead.
Mr. Sands of tho American Farmer
was elected chairman of tho committee.
Tragedy in Madison County, N. Y.
—We sec it stated that a woman named
Ward, the wife of one Matthew Ward,
in Madison county, N. Y., murdered
her four children in cold blood. The
Syracuse Journal of Monday, after alleg
ing that tho husband is a drunken,
worthless fellow, says:
It appears that tho husband had ne
glected his family and treated them in a
most cruel manner. The wife and moth
er had threatened that if lie did not re
form his ways and help her to take prop
er care of tho children she would murder
them and take her own life. He heeded
not her threat, but persisted in his bru
tality. Yesterday morning ho left his
to go fishing on the Lake, and
during his absence she executed her
threat, taking an axe and with it cutting
the throats of four of tho five children,
the youngest of whom was only two
months old. The oldest of the children,
aged about eight years, escaped only by
running away, she vainly pursuing him
with an axe in her hand for some dis
tance. She then returned to the house
where she had perpetrated those shock
ing acts, and seizing her husband’s razor
attempted to commit suicide by cutting
her throat. She did not cut deep enough,
however, to render the wound fatal, and
when discovered was literally covered
with blood, and suffering the most in
tense agony.
Homicide.— Mr. William J. Hatch,
of Camden, (N. J.) came to his death
near that place on Sunday morning by
violence. Tlie deceased was walking
over the grounds of his father’s farm
when he observed three men trespassing
iu pursuit ot birds, two of whom were
armed with guns, and the third carried a
game-bag. Mr. 11., attended by a Ger
man laborer on the farm, Immediately
gave chase, and he took a gun from one
of tlie trespassers and handed it to his
man. He then pursued tlie other two,
and, according to report, they left the
grounds and contrived to proceed some
sixty or eighty yards over tho ice mi the
Delaware, still followed by Mr. Hatch,
who soon attempted to seize the second
| gun, ami when close to the man he was
shot through the left temple. He fell
and died instantly. The men escaped
for the moment, but were captured in the
course of the day. Their names are
Adolphe Delso, Joseph Erbcn, and Ja
cob Linhart. Mr. Hatch was highly es
teemed for his uprightness and integrity,
lie had faithfully represented the public
interests in the Camden City Councils,
and whether as a citizen or a friend lie
bore a high and honorable reputation.
11 is father was fired at by a man who
was shooting on his premises without
leave, several years ago, ami rendered a
cripple for life. Tho Jersey farmers
suffer greatly in their crops and fences
from depredations committed by gunners
from I’hiladelpliia.
Tkkriule [Accident. —The most hor
rible occurrence tlmt we have heard for
a long time, says the Gallatin Argus of
last Friday, occurred eight miles from
that place, on tlie Jackson road, at tlie
store of Mr. Allman. Allman was smo
king iri the store-room, and, being called
to breakfast, started out, and it is sup
posed passed over a keg of powder,
dropping fire into it. Tlie house was
levelled to tho ground by tho explosion
that ensued, and was soon wrapped in
flames. Some persons near by ran to
the spot and succeeded in getting Mrs.
Allman from the ruins, badly but not
dangerously hurt and bruised. No prop
erty was saved; and a gentleman just
from the spot says that the skull and ribs
of tlie unfortunate Allman were all that
remained visible of him among the smo
king ruins.
Ship Destroyed hy an Iceberg.—
Aria York, .Wareh gl.—The ship John
Rutledge, from Liverpool for New York,
on the Dith of January ran into an ice
berg, aud was so much damaged as to
cause her to be abandoned. The pas
sengers ami crew took to boats. One of
these boats, which had contained thirteen
souls, was picked up on the 28th by the
ship Germania, (which arrived here on
Sunday,) with one sailor alive. The
rest had died of starvation. Tho four
other boats had pulled for the Gulf
stream. The ship John Rutledge had
120 passengers and a crew of 25 at the
time of the disaster. She was insured
for 070,500, and had a cargo of 8001
tons of merchandize, which was probably
insured in Europe.
