drcl for making the charge. He dare not
DO it. For we undertake to say, there is
not that man living, who, with the facts
before him, would listen to the accusation
one moment. Winslow knows this; and
hence he dare not gainsay one word that
is said in defence, nor even alludc to the
facts cited; but, with the fell purpose Of
a highwayman, he still clings to the origin
al ialschood, with the desperate hope that
there is some bcnightcd corner winch the
explanation may never reach, and that
some honest man, who reads the Sentinel
only, may be induced to believe lic.--
Such is locoiocoism, such arc its advo-
Gates, and such its weapons. Docs good
cause need such appliances Would an
honest man resort to such base means!

FOREIGN.

English dates to the 18th March, have
been received at New York. The &C
counts from London possess little interest
here. Tho most important item in gene
raj politics that we find in these papers,
is the particulars of the force England has
already directed or is about to direct
against China, the magnitude of which
would indicate that the intentions of the
British Government are not confined to
the mere mercantile question, but that
she contcmplatcs territorial acquisitions or
the overthrow of the Chinese Government
and when it is rccollectcd that the native
princes of India were subdued and the
foundations of the British Empire there,
laid by, comparatively speaking, hand
full fmcn, there can be little doubt, that
with the means England has now en-
ployed, she will succeed in her plans of
conquest, how ever vast they may be:

EXTREME INFANCY,

The Sentinel refuses to let its readers
see Gen. IIarrison's explanation of his
vote in the OHIO Legislature, but rcitcr-
ates the infamous charge of his .'voting to
sell men for debt" The Sentinel knows
full wol,-lor we have pointed ,Vinsow
to chapter and verse, that the section in
question is literal transcript of our own
statute, oad has been the lar ofthe land
in Vermont, for more than fly gears;
yet the Stalking wretch refuses to let his
readers know even this fact,-rcGlscs to
let the accused be hcard-conceals the
fact that any defence is made whatever !;
and now, some four weeks after its
original publication, lest his readers should
forget the charge, again republishcs the
original SANDER, with full knowledge of

CORRECTION.

We copied the other day an article at
tributing to Mr.. Van Buren, the author
ship of resolution against the last war.
This, we arc satisfied, is incorrect. The
resolution was adopted at a public meeting
in Columbia County, where Mr.. Van
Buren, resided, but with which he had
nothing to do, whatever. The only
ground for connecting Mr.. Van Buren,
with the resolution, is the fact, that he
was at that time acting in concert with
the party who adopted it, in vain effort
to bring up Dc Witt Clinton against Mr..
Madison for the Prcsidcncy-a measure
based upon hostility to MIR. Madison's war
policy. How far this circumstance should
go to identify him with the federal party,
the reader can Judge for himself. 1t is
but justice, however, to make the correc-
ton, and we do it chcerfully, for all we
ask is that simple justice be done to the
two individuals now before the nation
We can afford to give Mr.. Van Buren, his
best aspect, and whip him besides; but
were it otherwise, we should scorn a tri-
umph obtained through the wholesale sys-
tenn of SANDER and falsehood adopted by
the administration in reference to General
Harrison.

CASE OF DIR. HOLMES ENDED

We learn that this person was brought up, lv
new writ Of Hnbeas Co,pus Ielorc the Supreme
Court of this state, at Hyde Park, in the Comfy
of LamollIc on Tuesday ofthe present week, and
that upon motion for his discharge from further
imprisonment or detention, the Court, after an cX
animation Of the opinions of the Judges of the
Supreme Court ofthe United States, la,ciy deliver
ci IN relation to this matter, and upon review Of
the whole case, unanimously agreed in an order
tor the discharge Of the prisoner. -Four JHdcc,
were present, Judge CoIlamcr eng absent. Thus
has il lcen at last July settle that the order issue
ly the Governor Of this state for the arrest Of
Holmes, and his surrender to the Authorities fCa-
NADIA, was unauthorized by law.--Seminek
We understand that the locofocos rely
upon this case for their capital in the
coming campaign, and that distinguished
leader in this vicinity intends to canvass
the state upon it. Hence the fling at
Gov. Jenison in the last sentence. 1t is
really pity that Holmes should not be
made martyr. To be sure, he killed
Tasche, for the sake of his beautiful wife.
But what of that! SO did David seek
Uriah's life for the same reason. The
Ideals by no means new and, while there
are some among us who seem to regard
the injunction to Glove thy neighbor as
myself" there are also some who infer an
implied authority from the same COM
mand, to love their neighbors' wires a
little better than their own. To such, the
idea of Furnishing man for merely slip
ping the wind of a silly dolt of husband,
is very shocking and that Gov. Jensen
should detain man under such circum-
stances, until the law could be settled on
the subject, is regarded as fragrant vio-
lation OF the rights ofrascals.

In this comparison we have taken the Con-

the election at that time the Conservative candi-
dae received l,07l votes, which were equally di-
vrIcd among the candidate, ofhoth parties. on the

fact, that Ellsworh's plurality over Niles last year

HARRISON IN TIE WEST.

As an evidence of the state of feeling
out West, it is stated in the Philadelphia
Standard, that a few months since a
red-hout Southwark Lacoloco cmirratcd
to Illinois, near Alton, and that few
days since letter was received from him
which excited as much establishment
among his Southwark friends as if Mr..
Van Buren, himself had come out for Gen.
Harrison. The following is an extract of
the letter:
"iIrzzA FOR OLD TiprEcANoE Nay, you
needn't cape in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in earnest.
HARRISON sail the cry here-and yon might as well
attempt to dam the Mississippi with a pjtch-iUr,.,
as refuse to Swim with the popular current. Here
alcuts, a Van Blrcn man is a. scarce as a Wing
used to lc in old Southwark. The blood of the
Western people is up, and tell you they arc going
for old Hard Cider,' steamboat fashion, and nc
miS,a'C."
letter from another town in illinois says:
81 am happy, sir, to inform you that we have
not one Nanocrat in this town, and scarcely any IN
the hp--Wlat few there &c are very low
spirited Whilst on the other SIDE, all i, life, spirit,
men end women cas- enthusiastic and As spirited
as boys and girls"
CLOG CABIN AND HARD CIDER.
Under this appropriate head, the Phi
ladclphia Herald has the following para
graph. 1t is full of encouragement
speaking with great confidence as to the
result in Pennsylvania ; and should incte
the friends of the cause in other and
doubtful States to pcrscvere. Let them
do their duty to the cause and the country
let them deserve it-and victory may
be theirreward, also. The Herald says:
CONSERVATION and dismay sit on every LocoFoco
face, breeding over ruin in black despair. The
whole Pres idenlial contest is abandoned. The
enemy strike their flag before n gun j. fred.
Pennsylvania is for Harrison by about 10000 ma
iority The entire west Of the State rings with
his name. Every hill, every valley, displays the
victorious banner ofthe dog cabin and hard cider"
Never lefore has the popularity Of a candidate
grown so rapidly as that Of Harrison. The great
bitterness Of the incumbent Che only thing in
which he is grea,) adds Immensely to the torrent
in favor of Harrison. Pennsylvania is now the
safest Wing SAFE IN the Union. So we said last
December, and 50 we say now.
