The VIcKsBURG SENTINEL has bestowed
some attention upon our article OF .i4y I'D.
We regret to know that II is considered an IL
liberal one, for as such we did not intend II.
We alluded to the fact of the Sentinel's NOM
nation and support of Col. Grimball at the late
gubernatorial election, for a period long enough
for him to be known as the Wing candidate
throughout the State, and then @between
night and day." whipping round in decided
opposition to him. All we object to the Sen
tineps course IN this sudden change, is Its fault
IN not sooner ascertaining the Colonel's opin-
ions, in relation to the doctrine of Notification.
BY which the Wing vote was divided between
him and Morgan, and the consequent election
of Gov. McNutt. Wewarmly supported Nor
gan as Nullifer and have no reason to regret
1t although by so doing we contributed totbe
support of Gov. McNutt" When the Senti-
nel came out in favor of the Sub Treasury
scheme and assisted the Van Buren, journals
IN the State in tanning the fame of Abolition
excitement, and becoming a co-worker with
those whom few short months before it de-
nounced, and more than all, soon afterits mys-
ferrous change receiving an Office ofproft from
Gov. McNutt, we thought we saw a .naethod
IN its madness" The Sentinel disclairns chang
ing its views for profit; and we cheerfully &C
quit It from any imputation of the kind.
AS to the SentinePs charge of our Sbaykinp.
at its heels for a long time,'' we deny, as we
have norecoIIectiOn ofhavmg made allusion to
Il but once, and that in the article referred to
Of May 22d; and, to the further schargeof Con
gressional pay and milage haunting's MS, we
are not guilty. The pun ofthe Sentinel IS de-
hghtful, and we wish it much 10Y on its safe
delivery, and fits Editor acquits himselfas vel,
in performing the duties Of Bank Commission
eF, as he has succeeded IN his witticism. our
banks win certainly be thoroughly purified and
eleansed.

gus upon the whole, donot differ So much 1pon

Of banks, we think the prospect very fair Of ON

THE SWORD AND THE PURSE.


The Executive of the United States
now possesses, in a manner, the sword
and the purse Of the nation. Should he
succeed in procuring the passage of the
Sub. Treasury scheme,--a scheme which
is now in partial operation, to the ruin of
trade, commerce and agriculture-he
will become the sole possessor Of both of
these sheet anchors of our liberties. His
WILL will then be arbitrary and the peo-
pie will become slaves to constitutional
tyrant. We quote passage from the
"Notes on Virginia" by the immortal
JEFFERSON. In the extract will be found
sentiments intensely interesting to every
reader.
1.-THE public money and public liberty,
intended to have been deposited with three
branches of magistracy but found inadver-
tently to be in the hands of one only, will
soon be discovered to be sources of aOealth
and dominion to those who hold them; dis
tinguished too by this tempting circum-
stance, that they are the instrument, as
well as the object of acquisition. With
money we will get men, said Caesar, With
men we get money. Nor should our as
sembly be deluded by the integrity of their
own purposes, and conclude that these
unlimited powers viii never be abused,
because themselves are not disposed to
abuse them. They should look forward
to time, and that not distant one, when
a corruption in this, as 10 the country from
which we derived our origin, will have
seized the heads of government, and be
spread by them through the body of the
people; when they viii purchase the vol.
ces of the people and make them paw the
price. Human natureis the same on ev.
cry side Of the Atlantic, and win be alike
influenced BY the same causes. The time
to guard against corruption and TYRANNY.
is before they shall have gotten hold of us.

pleurisy Of only few days. Il seems but day or

His death was feelngly announced in both

Houses adjourned without doing further business.
The Funeral took place yesterdays and after dis

PARTY SPIRIT"
A writer in the Boston Post asks

"Who has forgotten the fierce attacks made upon
the fair fame of Elbrdge Gerry than whom his native
State never raised nober son While he was deny
ing himself the comforts and enjoyments an ample for
tune and cultivated taste had to bestow, and was en-
gagged night and day the most arduous duties for his
country honor and prosperty-after expending much
and laborng untrngy and unrenttngy to procure her
independent exisence--he assaed and caluInnia-
ted and beled and, and prosecuted wha rancour and
zeal that would have been cruel even II applied to
traitor before conviction, by trial Of his peers"
The writer took rather an unfortunate ex-
ample of the spirit Of party persecution, If ne
meant to apply the reproach TO the opponents
Of "the party" as we have dim recolec-
ton, that on the accession of Gen. Jackson,
"the party turned Mr.. Gerry's only son out
of office, who was placed in it for the purpose
of maintaining his tcidored mother!
The writer, after making the foregoing re-
marks, continues in the following strain, which
is little on the two-edged sword principle,
cutting one side about as much as the other
Strange it may now seem to those too young TO
feel any Of the excitement Of that period--dark and
gloomy as il is upon the page Of our Commemorative
hisory-,hat men should be so infatuated, so blinded by
party prejudice as thus deal with their beneacor
vet strange as it is it is not whit stranger than the
deeds of our olrR day" .%.-
