THE SENTINEL.
rUBtWHKl) BY
I.ITTL.EFIEL.D & MAOtNNI.S
RED WING, MINN.. FEB. 8,1860.
W. W E S Editor.
FAREWELL.
Having sold my interest in the Sentinel
to W. W. Phelps, my connection with it is
with this number discontinued. During
the years that it has been under my con
trol, at least this will be allowed That it
has been independently conducted—has
been subserviant to no man or clique—and
has preached nothing but the pure Democ
racy. This so far is its record! And 1
am glad, in view of the coming Charleston
Convention and of the doubtful settlement
of the great principles of the party, then to
be made, now to lay down the pen—for in
case that settlement should be what events
portend, a longer connection with it as a
Democratic organ would he neither satisfac
tory nor honorable. Hoping, however, that
such a sad day for the Democracy and our
country may never come, and that the Sen
tinel will continue to represent the views
which the Democracy of Goodhue and of
the State—when fairly represented—have
up to this time maintained, I take my leave.
WM. COLVILL, JB.
Having assumed the Editorial charge of
*h« SENTINEL it is proper to state the gen
eral policy this paper will pursue while un
der its present control.
We shall honestly and fathfully l.bor to
promote the success of the Democratic party
of Minnesota. We believe that the Demo
cracy is true to the Union and the Consti
tution the Union to preserve and the Con
stitution to protect and transmit to our
posterity inviolate. To these patriotic ob
jects it stands pledged—as the only effective
agency within the Union through and by
which they can be secured. The Demo
cratic party, as a political organization is
co-cxtemive with the Union itself and is
is to-day the only party of the nation,
that can make the proud claim of proposing
any policy or nominating candidates that
will have advocates and supporters in every
county, village and, perhaps, school district
from Maine to Texas, from the great lakes
to the gulf, and from the shores of the great
ocean on the east to the far off shores of
the Pacific on the West.
It is to be expected in all free Govern
ments, like ours, that wide and marked dif
ferences of political opinion will exist nor
is it remarkable that even in the Demo
cratic party, a party which has and will
shape the destinies of the Republic, differ
ences should also exist. One party organi
zation extends over the Union and it is not
strange that Democrats should disagree on
some things, for while freedom Of thought
and opinion remains it is probable they can
not all agree, and it is not perhaps desirable
that they should. Animated by a loyal de
votion to the Union and the constitution,
and tneir preservation intact, minor differ*
ences, become subordinate to these greater
objects.
In these days of fanaticism and disunion,
when extreme men of either section rail out
maledictions and curses against each other—
when mad and bloody forays agaiast sister
States are encouraged—when insurrections
disturb the public peace and disunion senti
ments, boldly proclaimed, unsettles the con
fidence in nat onal stability, it is full timeto
for all moderate and conservative men to
labor to check their tendencies to folly, to
reject these extreme teachers a» political
heretics, to infuse new life into that love of
the Republic,once so strongand not yet dead
to rally all good men to the standard of the
Union and put down sectionalism, North
and South.
The Helperite and insurrection Republic
ans en the one side and the slave code disu
nionista on the other bave become the mad
tools of opposing sections, and should be put
down. There is but one true policy and
that is to abide by the constitution and its
guarantees and cling to the Union "as the
mariner clings to the last plank as thestorm
and the darkness close round him." There
are no dangers, or grievances or difficulties
in the union, but become incomparably great
er out of it. To this end it will be the aim,
of the SENTINEL to encourage to the ut
most a national sentiment and break down
sectionalism and sectional parties.
Believing that STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS,
more than any living American statesman
is the man to carry the country through
the present national crisis, we shall earnest
ly sustain his nomination to the Presi
dency by the Democratic party. He has
the pluck and unbending back-bone
tor any emergency that may arise he is the
hope of the conservative classes, and the
young men of the country are enthusiastic
ally devoted him. His Senatorial career, in
the successes he -has obtained his victory in
Illinois, over tseoombined forces of the Ad
ministration and the Republicans mark him
as a man of no ordinary type, and above
all, if nominated, he is certain of his election.
In State.and local matters we shall ex
pose all fraud and corruption, no matter by
whom committed we intend to be on the
side of the tax-payer all the time. Suffer
ing in that way ourselves, we feel as the
tax-payers feel, and aa occasion shall re
quire and opportunity present, shall review
the peculations in the past, and guard against
plunder in the future. Our county affairs
have been grossly mismanaged by the Re
publicans, and the present legislature are
carry tag the Republican doctrine of misrule
into fearfully practical operation. We shall
pay particular and loving attentiou to that
body, and to things generally following
where duty calls."
W. W. PHELPS.
COLLECTION LAWS.
We see that it is mooted in the Legislature
to abolish all collection laws. Now this is
a bold step and has the merit of attaining
directly what most legislators In these times
strive to accomplish indirectly. For our
part we must admit We prefer such a law
to wretched and unequal ex-emption laws
that reach the same result. With ex
emptions and stay laws, and appraisement
laws and similar legislative toggery, a debt
or isjust as far out of the way of sheriffs
and executions, as a total abolition of all col
lection laws will place him.
The system proposed and even the prac
tical effect of that already adopted strikes a
deadly Wow, at credit, which in every com
mercial nation of the earth, has been cher
ished and fostered as the developing agent
of trade, commerce and manufactures. The
enterprising poor, who iufuse into every
branch of business its life—whose credit is
their capital, will to a great extent be ex
eluded from actual business on their own
account, and the direct tendency is to
strengthen the hands of wealth and oppress
the enterprise of poorer though more
active and intelligent.
These temporary relief expedients are de
lusive. The financial cancer was induced
by the wild spirit of speculation of the few
years past, and the outrageous usury asked
and payed in our flush times. The cupidity
of the money lender and the folly of the
money borrower, have very properly
gulfed both in ruin, and it is a melancholy
pity that these classes cannot pay their res
pective penalties of the violation of all
known business experience, without drag
ging to the destruction they so justly merit
ed, those men who were engaged in tbe
honest and legitimate business of the coun
try, and have endeavored to develop its re
sources.
But we ask the Legislature what will
they do to relieve the merchant and the
legitimate business of the country, if they
drive every one engaged in them to bank
ruptcy, by allowing the debtor to defiantly
withold the business man's capital for three
years or more. Tbe certain result of these
expedients is to prevent both the giving
and obtaining of credit, and the evil of
such tinkering legislation will effect injur
ously the poor far more than the rich.—
We regard it as true progress and in ac
cordince with commercial policy, to restrain
the free commerce in money and to fix
its value by legislative enactment, with se
vere penalties for the violations of the law
Do this and you have cured the disease
but no legislative doctoring will supply
strength to the commercial and business
body politic, for tbe weakness produced
by this raging fever of avarice will give
place but slowly to financial vigor and
soundness.
CONGRESSIONAL.
The National House of Representatives,
after a most protracted and bitter contest,
has at length been organized by the election
of Gov. Pennington, of New Jersey, as
Speaker, John W. Forney, of Pennsylvania,
as Clerk, and H. A. Hoffman, of Maryland,
as Sergeant at Arms. For our part, we an
nounce this result with pleasure aud gratifi
cation, and regard the selection of officers as
a Waterloo defeat to the disorganizing fac
tions on both sides.
The Republicans have about as littel to
glory over, as could well be imagined, and
Southern Democrats, and the President,
taking the election of Clerk into account,
the result must promote nearly every ether
emotion except an amiable one. Gov. Pen
nington is a conservative national man, and
no more the type of the Helperite party
than Daniel Webster would be, if living.
Their man Sherman, is dead and buried,
and upon his tombstone can be inscribed
Killed at the irrepressible conflict growing
out of the Harper's Ferry insurrection."—
"Slowly and sadly they laid him down,"
and took perforce a man who they gladly
would have "spewed out of their mouths."
Then comes the Clerk, John W. Forney.
Here is a Republican victory that beats Rar
ey's triumphs in the horse fine, most deci
dedly. John W. Forneys election is not
an Administration triumph, but most cer
tainly it is «qaaMy net a Republican tri
umph. Extremes are here rebuked.
Mr. Hoffman, Sergeant-at-Arms, is, if
possible, still less a matter to sing songs
about. It will be particularly gratifying to
the foreigners hereabouts, to Kuow that Mr.
Hoffman is a Maryland Know Nothing."
Know Nothingism in Maryland means some
thing. It is there where they shoot and
stab and murder foreigners, and drive them
from the polls, and insult them grossly, be
cause they happen to be boin in a foreign
country. This Maryland Know Nothing is
elected Sergeant-at-Arms by Republicans.—
Would it not be a first rate joke to fire tbe
Yonng Republican" about seventeen hun
dred times in honor of thia victory?
03" We shall par attention to the reports
on the Railroad question in oarState Legis
lature, neat week.
(Kr Michael Baird, a miser committed
suicide at Little York, Pa. He was worth
#400,000, and after death, his iron-hooped
goxes and barrels were found to contain
$250,000 in gold and silver. He hung him
self because a lot of clover-seed, which he
had sent to Philadelphia, did not bring as
much by $550 as he had been offered prey
iously.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature has now been in session
over two months, and the'time has already
come that this body should adjourn and go
home. This they dare not do, for the ne
cessary work of the session is scarcely com
menced. It was supposed that Minnesota
bad reached a pretty low deep in legisla
tive imbecility and wortblessness, but this
Republican Legislature has attained a still
lower deep. There is an utter want in it of
industry and brains. A Republican caucus
controls and stultifies the private judgment
of the more intelligent Republican members,
and renders utterly powerless the Demo
cratic minority- A fanatical and ignorant
majority of a. majority, have strength to
overpower a union of all. the conservative
and intelligent of the majority with the
Democratic minority.
An expenditure of $40,000 to $50,000
has already been incurred by this Legists
ture of reform prof cations, and nothing
done. The heavy weight of taxation must
of necessity rest still heavier, and the peo
ple must foot the bills." From the dissatis
fied muttering? we hear from every class of
citizens, and especially the Republicans, we
are confident they would infinitely pre
fer to foot the members. The argument a
posteriori from cause to effect, is the only
one that is adequate to reach the case.
It is the duty of the press to speak out
in regard to this matter, and bring to bear
upon the Republican majority the full
weight of their responsibility. It may be
said, that the Democratic press should not
interfere, but allow the Legislature without
question to trifle with the people's rights.—
No such want of responsibility will suffice.
We must arraign the Legislature before the
bar of public opinion, and strive to avert
taxation if possible, for this is a burden
borne alike by Democrat and Republican.
The offenses of the Republican majority
are grievous. They go to the very subver
sion of popular liberty, without the apology
of precedent, or the justification of right,
or even the poor eexuse of political neces
sity, the Republicans turned out of both
branches of the Legislature, Democrats le
gaily and rightfully elected. The Dakota
and Fillmore county election cases stand
before the people as the most unjustifiable
and unwarrantable assumptions of arbitrary
power, that have disgraced legislative ac
tion anywhere.
The peoples' money wantonly squandered,
is a trifling offense compared with a high
handed violation of the ballot-box, and the
rights of popular majorities. Such parti
sanship disgusts even the Republicans. The
people demand a reform in the reform Leg
islature. The expenses are daily enormous,
and unless the Legislature goes to work at
once for the good of the State—the sooner
it adjourns and its individual members siuk
into actual insignificance, the better.
It is a public duty to expose their fanati
cism, ignorance and indolence, and it is the
only way to whip these Republicans to
work. We certainly entertain a high re
spect for many in the Legislature, and we
dislike to speak thus of a body that con
tains as many good men as the Lord prom
ised if found in Sodom, would save that
doomed city. As a body, the Legislature
richly merits castigation, and if they can
not with Christian fortitude kiss the rod,"
why—they must do tbe next best thing.
What has become of the proposition to
cut down salaries, to retrench expenses, to
modify the present expensive system
of town and county organizations,
to Smoke' out the cloud of office-holders
that eat out the peoples' substance, &c. ?—is
Such subjects are forgotten, and members
journey to and from the capital to their
homes, to make a broker's profit on the sale
of $20, or $30, of State warrants. Mem
bers who have not sense enough to talk or
brains to think, should ask somebody how
to move the previous question, and how to
vote, and then vote something up or down,
and thus do the public business to the best
of their ability, If not, adjourn and go
home.
E UNION A PROGRAMME*
The programmed the "Union Party," to
inaugurate which was the object of the late
meeting at the Academy of Music, does not
meet with a hearty response from tbe Re
publicans of the Eastern States. The Mas
sachusetts papers pitch into it as a paltry
and unjust scheme, intended to cheat the
epublicans of their President. The scheme
is intended to work as follows
The Republicans have fifteen State dele
gations in the House of Representatives, and
the Democrats fourteen The Americans
one, (Tennessee,) while three delegations
are divided—those'of Kentucky, North Car
olina and Maryland. Now, they say, if. an
election of President by the people can be
frustrated and the "Union" can get one
State, so as to carry him into the House,
he will be elected.
The result is figured out in this way
The divided States and Tennesee will
neither vote for the Republican northe Dem
ocratic candidate: but the Republican
States being aware that incase of no choice
by the House, the Senate will choose a Dem
ocratic candidate for Vice-President, who
will thus become by the Constition acting
President, will make the best of their al
tentative, and give their decisive support
to the "Union" man, and put him (perhaps
the choice of Delaware alone,) into the
Presidential chair for four years I A well
devised scheme, but one that will not an
swer as the people will probably decide the
question by their votes, without the assist
ance of their Congressional delegates.—Phil,

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHIHGTOH, Feb 1st,
Special report. Several short explana
tions of their votes were made by Messrs.
Clark, of Mo., Cobb, Keitt, and Smith, of
Va., and Borksdale. The last maintaining
if the South American's concentrated with
the Democrats on Mr. Clennand, they could
defeat Mr. Pennington.
Messrs, Hill, Gilmer and Mallary did not
agree in opinion with Mr Barksdale. The
latter said if another vote was taken Mr.
Briggs would vote for Mr Pennington, thus
affecting his election. Mr. Moore of Ala.,
said it would not be of any avail, he would
sit here till 1861 before he would consent
to the election of a Republican. He deemed
that his vote with all the scatering ones
could elect MeClernand, and vdted for Boyce.
Mr. Davis of Miss, voted not for McClerand
bat for the country. Briggs, after an explan
ation, voted for Pennington, and thus decid
ing the contest. Applauses and hisses. The
vote resulted as follows: whole number 230
Pennington, 117 MeClernand 85 rest

was elected. Applauses and hisses in the
galleries.
Hinderman wished to make some remarks
about the election of a Republican, but wasCatholics

THE LATE BATTLE IN MEXICO.
NEW YOBK, Jan. 26.—A gentlema
from Acapulco informs us that only the
artillery of the liberal army number!n0
about 2000 troops, were engaged in the bat
tle of tho 21st. The main body of the
troops under Rocha, failed to come up, ow
ing, as we believe, to tieachery. The artil
lery whioh was under Col. Haile, an Amer
ican from San Francisco, was cut to pieces,
owing to the fact that Miramon's artillerry
was much heavier and longer of range than
that of the liberals.
Col. Uoile escaped to Mazatlan, where, at
last accounts he had purchased and was fit
ting out two small vessels with which he
intends to proceed to capture the two ves
sels seized in that port by Miramon.
When Miramon left the Capitol, he had
5,000 troops in command, 2,000 of which
under Marquese stopped at Guadelajara, to
cover Miraraou's rotreat should he have been
orced to make one. Marqueze, it will be
recollected, was at last previous accounts,
imrisoned in Mexico for his eeizure of the
$2,000,000 conducta at Tepee.
LETTER FROM ROBERT J. BRECK
INRIDGE, TO JOHN C. BRECK
INRIDGE.
The Louisville Journal contains a letter
over thiee columns in length, addressed by
Dr. Robert J. Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
to Hon. John C. Breckenridge of the United
States. As a political paper it is calm and
dignified and patriotic in its sentiments. In
a literary point of view, it is, as the journal
pronounces it, a magnificent production,"
"one of the most remarkable displays of
the most remarkable men of the age." It
national in sentiment, noble in its pat
riotism, impartial and wise in its views, and
calculated, bj its earnest warm, clear style
of argument and address to throw oil upon
the troubled waters of politics, and create a
counter action to partisan passions and sec
tional prejudices. It is the production of a
statesman and patriot—not a mere politician.
The preservation of the Union he regards a?
the great end and aim of our glorious nation
ality. As an old man he, says
I am not ashamed to confess the depth of
my love for my whole country, and the min
gled sorrow and indignation with which I
witness every attempt to weaken amongst
the people, the sense of what we owe to the
mother of us all. No people did ever any
thing glorious who did not believe in God,
who were not faithful to oaths, and who didto
not love their country. When I reflect
on what God has already done for us, and
already done by us, for His own glory and
for the advancement of the human race
when I consider, what our position and in
fluence among the nations of the earth must

cessity of just such a power on earth, and hue county, Minnesota, to Charles Thomas, of
the same place, which mortgage'deed was du

earth, and I implore you, by our common
blood and common name, by all the lovs so

persecutions and cruelties under which the
