SENTMANAT'S EXPEDITION.

The brig Guadelete arrived Yesterday from We.
ra Cruz, bringing papers and letters of late date.
From these we learn the issue of Gen. Sentma
mats rash and unfortunate expedition. Amidst
the endless gasconade and tedious prolixity of
Mexican dispatches, we have gathered The ma
teria facts relative to the fate of the bold adven
turer. 1t seems that the brig which bore Sent
manat, being briskly pursued by the brig-of-war
Santa Ana, was thrown upon the coast of Tobias
co, between the bar of Chstopec aud the princi-
pal bar. Sentmanet, accompanied by his small
troop OF IS or 80 men, betook themselves TO the
mountains, whence they proceeded to Tamulte,
on the Sabine They were met on the route by
detachment of troops commanded by General
Castro and defeated with the loss Of a number of
men. Several OF the survivors were captured,
and, among the rest, Sentmanet himself. The
annexed despatch annou ces the death of the
daring but i'll fated chieftain:

LoCoFoCo PRINCIPLES ExEMPLIFIED.

LOCOFOCO PRINCIPLES EXEMPLIFIED
We hear much from those who would transfer
the people of the country to Polk and Dallas
about their love Of principle. Let US see how
these very Democratic principles look in juxta-
misunderstanding Intelhgencer.
Mr. Van Buren, received large majority of all
the votes given in Convention on the first Ballot
yet Martin Van Buren, was thrown aside to give
place tn another.
The Convention was held professedy to en-
body and carry out the wishes of the party. The
delegates were INSTRUCTED in favor of Van Bu-
rem, Johnson, Cass, Stewart, and Calhoun, but
none of them in favor Of Polk, yet Polk was
nominated over the heads of all the others!
Mr.. Van Buren, wrote letter AGAINST annex
alton. The party presses of the North and West
Landed it as just the thng-as wholly, entirely,
and purely Democratic.
Mr. Polk wrote two letters in favor of imme-
date and unconditional annexation, and the party
presses pronounce his the true Democratic posi-
ton, and Mr.. Polk the very pink Of Democrats!
The Convention nominated Polk and Dallas
for President and Vice President. While one
was cobtending and voting in one branch of Con-
gress against United States Bank, against a
protective tariff, and against distribution, the
other, in the other branch, was advocating bank,
protective tariff, and distribution. This illus
trates Locofoco consistency, as well as Locofoco
Democracy" A 4
The Baltimore Convention adopted resolu-
ton declaring bank to be unconstitutional and
inexpedient.
Mr.. Dallas, as late as July, 1892 coh:ended
that bank was both constitutional and expe-
dent
The Convention adopted resolution declaring
the assumption of State debts unconstitutional.
The same Convention resolved in favor of the
annexation of Texas, thus sanctioning the as
sumption of the ten Tor twenty million debt of
that country!
We might extend this exempliication of the
beauties of the Denocratic'' principle to almost
any length. This will suffice for the present.

Native AMEhtcANtsM.


The Globe Of Wednesday has column Of hy-
pocrisy upon the subject of Native Americanisrn.
The most false and insidous statements are made,
with view to deceive the foreign population of
the country, for whom the editor of that paper at.
fects to feel as class, the deepest concern. How
long has it been since the phlanthropic editor had
his sympathies enlisted for foreigners! How
long has it been since he was in the daily habit
of reproaching the senior editor of the Intelligent
Ger with being foreigner? We believe that
Mr.. Gales has been most exemplary citizen of
the United States for some forty-fve or fifty
years, and even to this day the editor of the Globe
would deny him the privileges of citizen The
Globes sympathy with foreigners is precisely
commensurate with the extent to which they can
be made available in upholding the corrupt rule
of Locofocoism. No length of residence is me-
cessary to qualify them for the elective franchise,
provided their ignorance of our institutions is
such as to make them the victims OF Locofoco
falsehoods But on the other hand, should for
egner have the intelligence to think for himself,
the mere fact of his being a foreigner is thrown
at him as reproach.
The editor of the Globe has not ventured to
assert that the Native Americans as party, are
composed of Whigs-he knew that the evidence
to the contrary was too near at hand to be con-
fronted but with strange compound of absurd
ity and falsehood he attempts to identify the move
ment with the Wing party, while he admits that
the individual members Of the 9 Native party
are mainly Locofocos. Hear him:
The very nature of the projects entertained, in
forms us with which party it originates, without
stopping to inquire about the individuals confett-
ed with it. man who can deliberately give
such projects his support, is at heart Federalist
OF the worst sort, no matter what party he has
heretofore acted with. But whether tried by the
standard Of the nature and tendency of their mea-
sures, or by the past connexions of those avowing
nativism, the result is the same it is found to be
Federal in its tendencies, and Federal in Its sup
porters.
Was there ever more preposterous paradox
put upon paper! When an editor attempts to
palm such absurdity upon his readers, it is i'm
possible that he can rely upon their credulity on
any other supposton than that of their stupidity.
No ingenuity of reasoning could ever reconcile
such proposition to the mind of any sane man.
1t is one of the articles of the creed of Mrs. Ann
Royal, we believe, that while there is such
thing as Christianity, there are no Christians -
an idea which some may think involves contra
diction !; but the proposition Of the Globe shoots
far ahead Of Mrs. Royall's paradox. The Globe
maintains that Native Americanism is Wing
movement projected by Locofocos. 1tt

From the Globe of Thursday evening.
WHO BACKS OUT2

The following article in little Wing paper
here, called the STANDARD, dated yesterday, was
shown to rs just as our paper was ready for press
and as dislike to let such stories go uncontra-
dicted, no matter from what source they come,
we shall delay our paper a few minutes to say,
that two gentlemen called yesterday to take the
bet; and we (the " FISCAL PARTNER'D rode out
in the country last evening to see the man who
was to put up the money. This morning, when
the gentlemen called again, the money was ready
for them; but they were not ready to put up on
their part. We allowed them until the 10th in
slant to put it up.
They selected the following States Maryland,
Delaware, and North Carolina. They bet 800
that Clay gets Maryland; $500 that he gets both
Maryland and Delaware; and $500 that he gets
Maryland, Delaware, and North Carolina. These
are the bets or, at least, they will be the bets
when the gentlemen put up the money. There
is no mistake when we vouch for a man.
We insert the above for the purpose of show
ing how, when compelled to 8 toe the mark" the
fiscal editor" backs and fills at pleasure. We
insist that what said sSss 6se, and we will
prove it. Three days ago 1.-THE 9th inst. gentle-
man met his " iscality" in the street, and offered
TO take the bet up then; he told him it had been
taken, and produced letter on the 10th the
author Of the letter. or his friend for him, called
at the Globe Office to get the bet his fscality"
shnfled at the Interpretation it bore on its face,
and endeavored to get off by saying it would only
make Blair more rabid--who it appears is the
bragger" in the present case, and did not close
the bet with him even then, but, according to his
own admission above, he rode out in the coun-
try last evening 1.-THE 1Oth) to see the man who
was to put the money up to see if he was ready,
consequently the bet was not taken until yester-
day morning, as he says above; and when he told
our informant the bet was taken, it had NOT been
--nor would it have been taken at all if he could
have got off.
The gentleman who offered to take him up,
thinks, if the bet is to be made, he is entitled to
the first chance; and, if that can't be had now,
he asks another. Who backs out" now
We are authorized to say to g his fiscality," or
his friends by gentleman, that The same bet will
be made, and as many times ouer as he or has
friends may desire; also, by another, for the ac-
commodation of any one who has no ready mo-
ney, that city lots, to the same amount, ($6OO)
is offered on the same bet. We must confess we
do not approve of this mode of testing ones opin-
ion, but those who will "brag" must not take it
amiss if some one "sees them, and goes better
By-the-bye, we have been told by "ohe who
knows" that the " fiscal editor" has been shack
ed OUT on bet of about $4,000 worth of real
estate on the "general result" 6

POLKIANA.

We understand that the Locofocos, abusing
the Wings until they were at a loss for epithets
to bestow upon them, for their songs and "mum-
meries," have actually issued, from one of the
presses of the city, Polk Song Book! Now, if
it be wrong to make Clay song book, what
must be the enormity of wickedness which could
prompt man to make song book to sing the
praises of James K. Polk What upon earth
can the muse find to inspire her strains! We
should like to know Mr.. Polk never did any
thing worth song" so far as our acquaintance
with history goes. We presume that the muse
which has undertaken the celebration of Mr..
Folks merits, will find her Parnassus among the
hills of Mecklenburg, where his ancestor, Mr..
Ezekiel Polk rendered such essential service TO
bis sovereign, George ILL.,, by plotting the armies
of bis general, Lord Corvallis A. little British
gold judciously bestowed by Lord Aberdeen
would doubtless draw forth from some starving
poet of England stanza in praise of the descend
ant Of the Revolutionary ally Of Britain.

REASONS WHY JAMES X. POLK OUGHT
TO BE PRESIDENT

LIST. Because he was presented by grand Jury
of Sewer county, in his own State, as nuisance,
for neglect of his official duty as Governor, and
for conduct derogatory to the dignity of the office,
and to the character of gentleman.
I'd. Because he has twice put himself before
the electors of his State as candidate for Cover
nor, CATER having been once tried,) and has been
most scandalously beaten--for the same cause
that induced grand jury of his country to pre-
sent him, not as common, but an uncommon
nuisance, and dishonor to the station he occu-
pied.
3d. Because, like Gen. Jackson, he is perse-
cuted man, and has had his nose pulled in a
quarrel.
4th' Because, when his nose was soundly pull
ed as reward for provocation given, he meekly
pocketed the insult.
9Th. Because he goes with John c.. Calhoun
for notification and the immediate annexation of
Texas, and is opposed to any measures for the
encouragement of American manufactures and
American labor and industry.
Ypsilanti (1ich) Sentinel
We will add another: 9th. Mainly and lastly,
because his grandfather was Tory Of the Re-
voluton.

WHEELING, July 5, 1914.
If there is any Wing in the Union who for one
moment fears that the Old Dominion will cast her
vote for the champion Of Locofocoism, free trade,
and the successor of the Sub-Treasury and stand
ing army, James X. Polk, | would that he had

character, far surprising in patriotic enthusiasm
and intense feeling anything exhibited here in

dropping spirits of the 'waverhg, to warm the
heart OF the coldest to stimulate the determined,
and to urge on with fearful power and mpetuosty
the daring and intrepid. And what did it? Aye,
depend upon it, there is no faltering among the
Wings OF Wheeling, for they have risen in their
majesty and might, and like the snorting war
horse or the raging ocean, stand ready to engulf
and crush, "as like mighty avalanche" every

The MURDERS AT CARTHAGE-All our infor-
nation tends to fix upon the people concerned in
the death of the Smiths the odium of perfidious,
black hearted, cowardly murder-so wanton as
to be without any justifcation-so inhuman and
treacherous as to find no parallel in savage life,
under any circumstances. Gov Ford declares
his intention to seek out the mnrderers, and he
owes it to his own honor and that of the State,
whose faith was most grossly violated, never to
cease his exertions for this purpose. The Nor
TO commit any acts of aggression: their enemi .,
on the other hand, were evidently opposed to pus h
them to extremiiies, and to force them to leave

alacrity with which Gov. Ford's orders were be-
ing executed, but it will be some time before
peace and order can be restored. The disgrace
OF past acts cannot be wiped out.-Sl. Louis Re-

a Death OF GOVERNOR WILLIAMSON, OF New

was appointed Governor of the Stale of New

virtue of his Office Chancellor of the State, and it
was in that capacity that the legal learning and

conferred equally benefits upon the community,
