The Washington Sentinel.

We very sorry to observe that this newly cstab
lshed central paper has completely given itself up
to wrangngs with the Union 4 few chapters Of
such stuff we'll spiced, would not perhaps have been
amiss. But when every number, and almost every
article, comes tainted with the same old hile the thing
becomes absolutely repugnan to all the suggestions
both Of good and Of sound policy. We trust the
Sentinel will cease these recriminaons and give
peal after peal in the style of the following extract
which clip from its issue Of the lst Instant:
We repeat that We do sustain the slave institutions
of the south. Those institutions recognized by the
Constitution of tile United States and the rights CT
the stakeholder recognized by the Constitution Of
the United States, and by the democratic platform
adopted at Baltimore. Without such recognition, the
Constitution Of the United States could have been
framed Without such recognition, the Constitution
of the United States could never have been adopted
Without such recognition, there would have been
democratic porty-no democratic convention al Ball
more and Baltimore platform to be construed dishon-
esty by dishonest men, or 10 be construed fairly by
fair men.
Bnt we do not hide heads under the letter Of the
Constitution, nor under the adoption Of the Consu.
tion-nor under the Baltimore platform. On the con-
trary we saw to the whole world that as an original
ulicr we would perish in tracks sooner than we
would Weld one inch to abolition fanaticisrn.

A CURRENT FRAUD.

We find the following paragraph running the
rounds of certain class Of newspapers. 1t re-
fers 10 the Fugitive Slave law:
The South has gained nothing but Il loss by
this law. 1t was stupid bunder on the part
of Southern statesmen. The value of the slave
lost is eaten up if capture follows, while hatred
to the institution abroad and opposition to it ut
home, are increased by its hard features and the
barJarous enforcement Of them."-Charlcston
Mercury.
We shall not say that such paragraph never
appeared in the Mercury, though we have no
recollection of il, and at least assert that the
language at the close has not now, and never
had, the approval of any one connected with the
editorship of this journal. If it ever appeared
in this paper it was by accident, and during the
heated controversy that Immediately followed
the Compromise acts. To quote it rs part of
the current opinion Of. the day, is to practice a
gross imposition on The public. Conceding the
right of Congress to execute that provision OF
the Constitution, we have never doubted that
the law was in form and substance just and
proper law. Our objections to it were that it
would not and could not be executed, except in
so uncomfortable number Of eases and ut such
cost and peril rs to deprive it of its all mpor-
tance to the interests Of the Southern planters;
while. on the other hand, it assumed to be so
complete and effective q remedy, that its con-
cession was made an excuse by Southern trim
mers for surrendering the most important inter-
ests of their constituents and booming the South
to hopeless weakness and inferiority in the
Union.
But the use which is made of the paragraph
above quoted, is not the least curious part of
the fraud. AS we said if it ever did, by chance,
appear in the Mercury, it was some three years
ago, when we were Urging secession as the only
way to save the south from the ant-slavery ag-
pressons of the north. 1t is now quoted by
such papers as the Richmond Examiner, to prove
that the Mercury has lowered its tone on the
slavery question, in compliment to the i'resl-
dents alleged league with the free-soilers! Real
ly these small politicians are about the coarsest
and least interesting specimens of the mounte-
bank that even this Juggling age can show.
The Examiner need not be in doubt as to the
grounds of our support of the Administration.
We have thorough confidence in the Presidents
rood faith on the slavery question. We believe
the Administration is favorable to free trade and
economical expenditure, and will do what it can
in that direction. Finally, we cannot but ac-
knowledge that It is working Administration,
and has put the affairs of the several depart
in better condition than they have been for ma
nv wears. These are sufficient reasons for that
General support which we offer to the Admins
trution. If the Examiner can find as good rea-
sons for opposing it, we shall be Had to hea-
them.-Charleston Mercury.
