The Washington Sentinel, which profess

dard of revolt, and calls upon the South tc

President and his Cabinet?) who brandt
Messrs. Dickinson, Bronson and O'Connor,
and exclaims, that 'the blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed of the church." The sig-
nal for "rebcllion" is is thus sounded by
the Sentinel:
"Then it were worse than ingratitude for
southern men and southern presses, to Join
in the cry that has been raised against
them. 1t smites us to the heart to hear one
word of reproach against them from south

our defenders. Never. Be unjust and I'M

and conservative democrats everywhere, tc
speak out more distinctly. We desire them
to give eloquent and vehement utterance tc
their feelings and their sympathies. If we
mistake not what we have already heard is
but the beginning of the end; it Is the first
note of that trumpet, whose rising blast
will ring through mountain and valley
through the broad savannas of the south
and the populous cities of the north"

eve fear they have taken sides where
there is The least political patriotism and
purity; that they have formed an alliance
with men who will either lead them astray
from National principles, or will betray
them, and the South along with them. So
long as the administration stood aloof from
these local stries, and dealt cven-handed
justice TO both contestants, their position
was deiensibie; they furnished the nucleous
around which the whole national democracy
could rally; their appointments from that
section of belligerants which was most OBJ
noXious TO one-half Of the Union could be
defended upon national grounds of compro.
mise. But when they abandon the position
of neutrality, and take actual side with an
obnoxious faction, against such men as Dick
inson, they compel the South likewise to as
sumo decided position. Reduced TO that
alternative, the chlvalrous and generous
South can do no other than stand by the
men in their trial who stood by them in
their own tribulation."
The Alexandria Standard, another Dem
ocratic standard bearer OF old Virginia, con-
cludes lengthy deNunciatory article with
the following exclamation:
"'7He timid may falicr, and The freach-
erous nay desert bit the democratic party
will condemn, Internationally condemn, this
act of Mr.. Guthrie"
"This act of Mr.. Guthrie" having re-
oeived the approval Of the President and
all his Cabinet, they must receive their full
share OF the condemnation also. The Vir-
ginia Woodstock Tenth Legion also thus
predicts the result of this domestic trouble
in the party:
owe think it highly probable that the re-
suit will be, that the administration will find
itself ere long laundering in the meshes Of
one OF the most corrupt political organiza-
lions that was ever known in this country;
an organization which, in truth, is held TO-
gether by the cohesive power of plumber,
and which must fall to pieces whenever
there are no offices, State or Federal, to be
bestowed"
We conclude with the following from the
Winchester Virginian:
"Nobody doubts that Bronson is an hon.
est and sound Democrat, and faithful Of
ilcer; that it left alone he will remain true
to his faith and party feaIty; and that to
eject him from office will be nearly equiva-
lent TO forcing him into the ranks of the
opposition. 1t will be poor consolation that
we secure John Van Buren, by his ostra-
cism. We would not give three such men
as Dickinson, Bronson and O'Connor, for
all the freesoiers that ever first swore and
then ioreswore treason to the constitution. u
