POSTCRIPT.

Since the above was written and in type, we
have read an article on California, in the Amer
lean Review, in which the writer quotes letter
Of Mexican correspondent of the Lonon Times,
who urges the British government to obtain pos
session Of Mexico, to prevent its falling into the
hands of the United States. The graspng pow.
er of England is strikingly betrayed in that let
ter, which we copy as follows:
Mexico, Sept 20, l845.
sin the opinion Of many, the existence, as
nation, of Mexico, is fastening tots termination;
and, as far as can see, no great man appears
who is equal to the regeneration Of the republic,
The government is poweress, even in the capt
tai; the departments barely hold on the central
State; there is no populationto ill the finest soil
in the world and riches, above and below ground,
temain unexplored, for want Of intelligence and
hands 10 work them. If England will not inter-
fere the doom of Mexico is sealed, and in the
course OF few years 1t must be Incorporated
With the United States. The government and
people Of the United States entertain no doubt
on this subject They say that ,hay do not in
terlcre in the affairs Of Europe, and that they
are uGlbFulIHGu HO lIhtOpidH POWGl sIiull lHtCl-
fere with them in the affairs of the new world
4 BY aggression, annexation, or conquest, they are
resolved on enticiDg all Mexico, down 10 the
Isthmus, within the Union; and, come what may
that end must sooner or later be dccomplished.--
am fully aware Of the danger to which the mo-
Eaelary circulation Of Europe will be exposed

FOR NEXT GOVERNOR OF OHIO,
DAVID TOD.
Close of the VoIurne.

This number Of the Sentinel closes tic l2ih
volume Of its publication, and the second year of
our connection with il as editor We have en-
deavored 10 perform our duty as journals
faithfully, and hope we have rendered satisfac-
tion TO the pltrons and readers oftho paper. We
are pot so vain as TO atter ourself into the belief
that our course as an editor has pleased every
body-7ihat would be q superhnman task There
are captous and snarling individuals in all par
ties wha make II rule to be continually finding
fault with an editor, and are constantly employ
ing their slanderous tongues to weaken the con
tdepce the public may repose in him. The
ranks Q! the democracy are not free from such
pests We care nothing about them--they do
not trouble US. Our object has been to publish
the truth, boldly and foarlessly--to labor zeal
ously for the good of the democracy--to unite
and harmonic them, if possibie--to expose the
error and falsehoods of our federal opponents
and TO rescue our hourisIling commonwealth
from their w;therng and deadly grasp. We
shall continue, to the best of our ability, to pub
llsh useful and entertaining newspaper. We
shall make it pade mecum for the poiiician--a
fireslde companion for old and young. We would
be judged in the future by our past course. To
our subscribers who have punctualy paid theil
subscriptions, we return our heartfelt thanks
They are ''thrice blessed" Th Sc who have ne.
elected to pay us our just dues, are earnestly re.
quescd 10 settle old scores Immediately. We
are very much in need of money, and to meet
our engagements faithfully, must have what is
due lis from our subscribers Persons who never
intend to pay us, would confer favor by calling
forthwth, end making the fact known; or, if they
are TOO poor to pay for the newspaper and will
deposlie with us enough to pay for the white pa.
per we print their news upon, we shall charge
them nothing for onr labor. In the course o
the summer we shall either personally Or by oul
agent, call with bills upon such of our slbscr
bers as lige IN this and the adjoining counties
All who wait until their accounts are presented
to them, win be charged at the rate of S2, so po
annum, according to the terms. Those who vii
not put us to the expense Of sending collector
after them, by paying their subscriptions in the
office soon, we shall charge SO per annum. A:
heretofore $3.50, If paid STRICTLY IN ADVANCE
will be received for a years Subscription. We
state this explicitly to prevent any difficultc:
hereafter.

esrent Flood in Tie snsuueranna.

We learn from a letter published in the Pitts
burgh Post, dated Chambersburg, March l5.
1916, 3 O'Clock P, NJ, that there has been a
great food in the Susquebanna. Several bridges
over the liver above and below Harrisburgh, ,have
been destroyed by the food. The bridge at
Clork's Ferry was swept off, and took with il the
old Harrisburg bridge from the ;sland to the
town--it also took with il tile four new spans OF
the Cumberland Valley Rail Road Bridge, which
was erected last fall. Yesterday covered
bridge, and small house, and a saw mill, came
down the river. There has been a great de-
structon of property along the river and the.ca-
nal. The water is from twenty 10 twenty-fi five
feet above high water mark.

looms,
From Patagonia's distant shore to Melville's artic
gooms;
With her myriad plains and valleys, her myriad hills
and mountains,
Her cleaning lakes and rivers long, and thousand
sparkling fountains"
Nations rise and pass away, as blllows on the
ocean tide. History, wish her magic wand, points
to the wreck of Empires, and in the beacons.o of
the past we may earnlesso of wisdom to guide
us inthe future. We mourn over the downfall
Iof great people, but history teaches that hu-
man happiness and the development Of know
ledge are in the care Of Providence that bring
eth good out Of apparent evil; and while our eyes
llnger on the receding wave another approaches
rising to sublimily and crested in sunbeams and
glory.
The history of the world teaches us that En-.

The Washington Times, late .. s. Journal, in
several articles, made serious charges against
members Of the Senate, stating that they were
brbed by the British Minister, &c, to vote for a
compromise Of the Oregon question on the 49th
parallel. The Senate, wishing to preserve its
honor and integrty,appointed a committee to IN
vestgate the charges, with powerto send for per-
sons and papers The report of this committee
was presented by Mr.. Benton, and thoroughly
exonerates the members of the Senate from all
imputations. Not one Of the charges (says the
Union) is supported--not title of satisfactory
evidence is urged in their support. Tie whole
accusation consisted of idle rumors, groundless
suspicious, and declarations ascrbed TO wines
ses, who were the FIRST to contradict the asser-
tons which were imputed 70 them, and TO ex-
press their amazement that such charges we're
said TO have emanaied from them.

Now, if any man believes the Clinton Bank is

lion of its worthless promises in circulation, and
only little over one hundred and fotty-scven
thousand dollars of specie to redeem with in its
vaults. or about one specie dollar TO redeem four
paper dollars! The Bank has on hand $l72,-
