THE SENTINEL.
ROIKVILLK, jJID.
SATURDAY, ; :::::: MAY 3, 1856.
jar The Kansas and Nebraska ex
citement will prove to bo an illusion like
a thousand that havo preceded it. It
will fail in the midst of the failure of the
predictions of the Abolition leaders.
Before one year elapses results will an
swer to prophecies, and a happy people
will proclaim their gratitude to the Dem
ocratic party. Those Democrats, who i
have been seduced into the new party,
will find themselves among a class of
politicians whose creed is entire hostility
to all liberal legislation, and whose whole
idea of Democracy is that of warring
upon laws framed in obedience to the
Constitution of the United States. Be
sides, like all the movements of this
Abolition interest, the present is based
upon a general idea, alike absurd and
impracticable. Men should not be wil
ling to go into a party that unfurls its
banner in favor of propositions that can
never be realised, or unite with those
who fear to announce their real motives.
It is not yet time for the leaders of the
new party publicly to disclose the dark
design which is nearest their hearts—
that of an earnest purpose to dissolve the
Union. It would spoil their present
scheme. 'When it is disclosed, what a
spectacle Democrats,who are caught upon
the Nebraska idea, will occupy before
their countrymen! Nations and men
are known by their works; and, although
the Abolition agitators may not be wil
ling to let the past and the present indi
cate a happy nnd prosperous time to
come, we opine the people will be much
more willing to rely upon the example
and the works of such sages as Jeffer
son, as Adams, as Hamilton, and as
Jackson, and upon those who faithfully
follow their teachings, than upon the
wild and incautious appeals of reckless
and insane agitators, who reply to all
the glorious memories of other days,
and to all the blessed hopes clustering
around the hearths and homes of twenty
six millions of people, “ Wiuit is all
this worth?” or use those other words of
delusion and folly, “Liberty first, and \
Union afterwards.” The people will
say, and do say, to all these wretched !
enemies of tho public tranquility, in the
language of Daniel Webster :
“ We have not allowed ourselves to
■ look beyond tho Union to see what may
bo hidden in the dark recess behind.— j
We have not coolly weighed the chances i
of preserving liberty when the bonds
that unite us together shall be broken
asunder. We have not accustomed our
selves to hang over the precipice of dis
union to see whether, with our short i
sight, we can fathom the depth of the
abyss below ; nor could we regard him as
a safe counsellor in the affairs of th is
government whose thoughts should be seri
ously lent on considering, not how the ,
- Union shoubl best be preserved, but hole j
tXbemble .flight, l/c the condition of the
people when it shall be broken up and
destroyed.”
Mi-iU What title has the Know-nothing
party to Southern confidence ? Within
the last two years, State after State has
been thrown into the arms of the Aboli
tionists by this secret faction; fearless
friends of the Constitution havo been
defeated, one after the other, in the free
States by the same conspirators against
the rights of conscience and the rights
of the States; abolition Senators and
Representatives in Congress have been
chosen by the same influences, always in
preference to National Democrats ; reso
lutions defying the fugitive slave law,
and demanding the restoration of the
Missouri Compromise and the admission
of no more Slave States, havo been
adopted by Know-nothing Legislatures ;
and yet southern Know-nothing journals
deny that Know-nothingisin is the imi
tator and supporter of abolition doctrines.
These papers seem to regard the southern
people as so many beasts of burden for
Northern Abolitionists, and to expect j
them to receive the blows and the stabs
of those enemies of their peace and their!
existence, and to submit to them without
a murmur.
Tn* Reactionary Movement.— Dn- j
ring the excesses of a popular delusion,
it is almost impossible to invoke the aid
of truth and reason. The diseaso must
run its race, and with utter weakness
nnd prostration, wo may look for the
recuperative work of returning sanity.—.
The signs arc multiplying throughout j
the length and breadth of the country, 1
that the wild, wicked force of Know-)
nothingism has spent its fury, and that \
a deep and earnest reactionary movement
has commenced. States which, one year
ago, were triumphantly carried by the j
Know-nothings, havo returned to the
Democratic fold. The old-line Whigs j
of almost every State are meeting in
conventions and adopting resolutions de
nouncing the secret political organization. ]
and recommending the entire separation
of the Whig parly from the order whose
tendency is to corrupt political notion. ]
Why Donelson became a K. N,
The Hon. Richard H. Stanton, for
merly a member of Congress from Ken- 1
tucky, and now editor of the Maysvillo,
Kentucky, Express, gives the reasons of ,
A. J. Donelson deserting the Democrat- i
ic party and joining the Know-nothings, 1
in the following brief history :
“So odious was Donelson to the Dcm- ]
ocratic party, even as early as the sum- ,
mcr of 1852, before the election of (lon. i
Bierce, that the Democrats in Congress,
would not elect him Printer of the House, (
uilhough he was then editor of the me
tropolitan paper, and the party had a
large majority of the members. They .
refused to permit his name to bo asso- )
ciated with his late lamented partner,
Con. Armstrong, nnd gave the office to
the latter. The editor of this paper j
nominated Gen. Armstrong to the House )
and happens to know well what were the t
relations of Donelson at that time to the
party. Gen. Armstrong was elected j
Printer on the 27th day of August, 1852, (
sometime before the election of General
Pierce. A short time after this very un- j
equivocal indication of the party towards (
Donelson, he sold his interest in the (
Washington Union to Gen. Armstrong ,
and retired to private life, a soured ami ■
disappointed man. . (
“ Upon the inauguration of Gen. ,
Pierce, Mr. Donelson was among tho
most importunate of the applicants for
foreign appointments, but was refused
by the President. lie then labored to .
secure one for bis son-in-law, Mr. Wil
cox, of Mississippi, and it was not until
bo had failed in both efforts, that lie
openly denounced the administration and
turned traitor to the principles of his
party.”
Intense selfishness and disappointment
in search of office, constitute the patriot
ism and principles of this traitor, and
will be very generally found at the bot
tom of all such defections from the Dem
ocratic ranks.
We publish this authentic narrative
from one who knows what lie speaks of,
that tho true character and motives of
A. J. Donelson may be known and ap
preciated. Had Gen. Pierce gratified
his desire for office, he would to this day
have been professedly as great a Demo
crat as ever—lie was not gratified and lie
is a Know-nothing.
Democratic State Convention.—
From the proceedings of this body,
which assembled at Baltimore, on AVcd
nesday last, wc extract the following
items, as being of peculiar interest to our
readers. AVe should like to publish the
1 proceedings in full, hut find them too
I lengthy for our columns this week. AVe
, shall publish them in full next week.
A resolution was adopted for the ap
pointment of a State Central Committee,
consisting of ten members from the city
of Baltimore, and two from each of the
| couuties. The members for this county
| are AY. A r Kiits Bouic, Esq., and Maj.
E. Jones.
The following gentlemen were selected
as District Presidential Electors:
First District.—Henry Goldsborough,
of Talbot county.
Second District.—Richard AY. Ring-,
gold, of Kent county.
Third District.—Levi K. Bowen, of
Baltimore county.
1 Fourth District.—Francis Gallagher,
j of Baltimore city.
Fifth District.—Josiah 11. Gordon, of
j Allegany county.
Sixth District.—George IV. Hughes,
of Anne Arundel county.
It-dT' Dr. Wm. Brewer desires us to
1 say, “that tho political meeting held at
Poolesvillc, on the sth of April last,
he did not think was conducted fairly,
| and therefore he neither signed or ever
; intended to sign the proceedings of said
meeting for publication, and that the!
secretary and lie, on the said day, did
i agree not to publish them. ‘Honesty
: is the best policy.’ ”
Hi}” It will be scon by the proceedings
of the Congressional Convention, which
j assembled in Baltimore on AVedncsday
last, and which will be found in another
| column, that Col. J. A. B. Leonard, of
this county, and Hon. Edward IIah
; mond, of Howard, havo been appointed
Delegates to tho Cincinnati Convention,
from this Congressional District.
Hi}” Otiio Scott, of Harford, nnd A.
J. Creswell, of Cecil, have been np-
I pointed Delegates to the Cincinnati Con
\ vention, from tho second Congressional
I District of this State.
)
Dr. AA’m. B. Maorlder has been nom
inated by the auti-K now-nothing party
jof AA’asbingtou city, as their candidate
| for mayor. A good nomination, and
j will be elected without doubt.
Bprolary. —On AVedncsday night
last, tho moat house of Mrs. Ann M.
Fisher was broken open by rogues, and
about thirty pieces of bacon stolen
i therefrom.
JOT' The late rains have had a magic
j effect upou the growing wheat. One)
j can almost see it growing.

Democratic National Convention.-
! It is stated that extensive arrangements
arc making at Cincinnati for tho Demo
cratic National Convention, as an iui
-1 memo throng of strangers is expected to
l be present.
Movements or Old-Line Whigs.
The old-line AATiigs of Philadelphia
havo withdrawn their municipal ticket,
stating in reference to that city (what is
equally applicable to this and indeed all
cities that have suffered from Know-no
thing misrule) that “it is hard to con
ceive to what a point of economical em
barrassment and discredit the affairs of
the city of Philadelphia have been
brought.” They also state “ that not
yet relinquishing the hope that ultimate
ly their principles may be triumphant,
they feel it a duty in withdrawing the
ticket, to leave individual members of the
party to pursue such a course, at the ap
proaching election, as will best promote
an honest and economical administration
of city affairs.”
AVe quote again : “By tho force of
political exclusiveness which seems to be
shared equally by those who are confident
of success and those who are as certain j;
of defeat, the effort now to revive our
party, as it used to be, has been linsuc- j
cessful. Of this tho AVliig Convention
does not moan to complain. AVe simply !
state the fact. AVe, as AATiigs and as!
honorable men, feel reason to be proud
of our good faith to each other—proud
of the fidelity with which, to the last, 1 '
we have stood by tho cause which, in |
its day of triumph, had naturally more '
friends than now. AVe may have a right
*o haul down tho (lag. AVe have not
thought whilst a rag of it was flying, we
had a right to desert it.
“But the effort,for the time, has failed.
To keep candidates before the public
without a chance of success, is a wrong
and an injustice to individuals which
ought not lightly to bo inflicted. They
are therefore withdrawn.”
It is understood that Messrs. Gilpin,
Win. B. Reed and other eminent AVhigs
of Philadelphia will hereafter act with
the Democratic party.
The old-line AVhigs of Kentucky have
recently been in session at Lexington nnd
have called (as is well known) a Nation
al Convention of old AVhigs, to assemble i
at Louisvillo on the 4th of July next.
At the Lexington Convention, Senator
Dixon declared a want of faith and con
fidence in Mr. Fillmore at the present
emergency, and stated that his course
upon the Compromise measures was oc
casioned by the commanding influence of
Alessrs. Clay and AVebster. In respect
to tlie celebrated Fillmore letter of 1838,
to the Abolitionists, Mr. Dixon might
have added tlie very significant fact, that
Mr. Fillmore’s organ, the Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser, in referring to it,
within the present year, says: “ AVe
defy the world to show that Mr. Fillmore ;
has ever been inconsistent with these
declarations. His friends will sec it
quoted with a feeling of pride in its ele
vated and independent interpretation of
public duty.” That letter was in reply
to one addressed to him in 1838, by an
anti-slavery society, propounding the
four following questions, viz:—Whether
lie was in favor of the right of petition ;
opposed to the annexation of Texas; in
favor of the abolition of the internal 1
slave trade ; and of the slavery in the j
District of Columbia. To these interro
gatories he replied:—
“I am much engaged, and havo no!
time to enter into argument or to explain
at length my reasons for my opinion.—
I shall, therefore, content myself for the |
present, by answering all your intorrog- i
atones in the affirmative, and leave for
I some future occasion a more extended
discussion of the subject.”
AVe Lave not space for the entire pro
ceedings of the old-line Whigs of Ken
tucky, nor havo we seen them published
in any other paper than the National
Intelligencer, yet it is proper at this time
to re-produce their declaration “that
every right protected bg the Constitution
should be faithfully accorded to every
class to which its provisions ex tend, with
out reference, tn birth,sect or religion, and
! that they can not co-operate with, the Ann r- i
! iron party l/realise, of their illiberal prin
ciples and spirit, invoicing menace
\ against civil and religious liberty,and bc
cans -, furthermore, that party HAVE SYS
-1 tematicai.lv introduced practices SUII
OIIDINATINO TIIE JUDICIARY TO POLITICAL
AND PARTY INFLUENCES.”
The old-line AVhigs of lowa, Maine,
and Now York city, though few in num
ber, havo determined to shape their |
1 course by events and bide their time. In
Virginia no movement has been made, •
and the Richmond Whig (says the En
uuirnr) is so far fallen from its ancient
, faith that it cannot find room in its col
umns for the proceedings of the AVhigs
!of Kentucky, tho very body guard of
I Henry Clay.
In Georgia, Alabama, and indeed in
nearly all of tho States south of Virginia,
Democrats and Old Whigs have sunk nil
remembrance of past political differences,
aud arc moving shoulder to shoulder and
eye to eye against the broken and de
-1 moralized array of intolerance. In this
State the “ union” so happily commenced
in the last campaign has been so gaining
in strength and intensity as to justify the
supposition that Maryland will tako her
stand with the sister Southern States of
the Confederacy.— Halt. JlejmUicaa.
Murderous Affray at Aspiuwall.
New York, April 29. — The steamer
Empire City arrived here this morning
j from Havana, with dates to the evening
of tho 24th.
The steamer Philadelphia, from As
pinwull, with the California mails and
i pu.-Mcngers which left San Francisco on
! the 20th ult., hud arrived nt Havana,
j A terrible affray occurred on tlie 15th
j iust., at Aspiuwall, between the Ameri-I
can transit passengers and the natives,
in which 30 Americans were killed and
40 wounded.
'J ho Empire City brings three of the !
j wounded.
A largo amount of the passengers’
j baggage and railroad property, and tlie |
i property of individuals residing near the
railroad station destroyed. All tile
baggage in the freight liourc was rifled. I
It is impossible to learn the names of!
all the dead. Out of fourteen dead j
bodies at the railroad freight house, only 1
one name, that of Mrs. Stokes, was j
known.
| Among tho killed were the following : |
Michael Bottom, of Orleans county, AT.;
li. AV. Marks, of Pennsylvania; M.
Bubois, of Louisiana; Mr. Stokes, an
officer in Walker’s army.
Among tlie wounded arc AYm. 11.
Hunter, Theodore De Sally, secretary to
the American Consul at Panama, and j
Air. Palmer, an employee of the railroad
company, all residents of the Isthmus.
Also George (). Field, of New York,
and Rev. John Selwood, late of Gra
hamville, S. C. All were being sedu
ously attended to by the steamer’s and
the Isthmus physicians.
The passengers upon whom this out
rage was committed, were those which
loft San Francisco on the 20th ult., in
the steamer Cortes for Sau Juan, but
landed at Panama in cousequonco of the
troubles in Nicaragua.
One account says the riot originated
with a drunken man who refused to pay
a native a dime for a piece of water
melon.
H-iT Tho remarks of the President nt
Annapolis, says the Alexandria Gazette,
(AVliig,) will bo read with pleasure and
interest. It is honorable to him that he
never omits an opportunity, on a public
occasion, to speak of the value of tho
Union, and the duty of tho people to
sustain it, and Btrivo for its perpetuity.
Hypercriticism might object that this is
all common place. But we do not so I
regard it. AVe rejoice that the chief
magistrate delights in Lis addresses to
enforce the value of the Union. AVe
give him our thanks and respect for his
course in this particular. It is worthy
of the President of the United States.
M The prosperity of Louisvillo is
just now forming the theme of a sharp
discussion between the Demacrnt and!
Journal. The latter having impugned
some statements of the former relative
to the number of deserted dwellings in
tho city, setting down the whulo number
at only fifty-seven, the Democrat gives a
list of fifty-fire vacant tenements in one
street (Maine street,) and tlieeditor thinks
“there is a smaller dumber on Maine
stent than any other street in the city.”
What a commentary on Know-nothing
violence and proscription !
