Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1855-07-05

on the Both June to the american Organ.
We have seldom seen the Sentinel, az we usu-
ally confne our attention to few of the lead
ing presses of the Foreign party, and hence
we have escaped the pangs, which the censures
Of the Sentinel might have inflicted. In its
issue Of the 30th June, ii says:
We have taken occasion from time TO time to
censure the positions taken by the american Or
gan on the great sectional question of the day. In
its vain, but eager, effort TO get the antagonist
wings of its party together, the Organ has been
admitting or compromising away almost everything
worth contendng for by the SOdth."
If the Sentinel will be kind enough to re-
publish the censures which from time to
time" it has contained upon our positions, and
send US copy Of the republication, we shall
be greatly obliged, besides paying the cost Of
the composition.
When boy, we remember to have heard Of
an old man, who had termagant Of a wife,
mot meaning to say tho Sentinel-man is like
that old woman) who continually abused him
for whatever casualty or calamity came upon
the household manifesting her oon sense Of
her forecaste, on such occasions, by calculating
these words, 81 told you SOL kneso it vouM
be so--5ut you Dould not mind me I"
On one occasion, the old man, feeling in
clined to excite the temper Of his .better half"
came running into the house exclaiming, "Old
woman! old woman! the COW has eat up the
grindstone, crank and ALL" The old woman
belched out fire and fury ut the old man" !
told you SOL knew 1t would be so--but you
wouldn't mind mel"
The censures and warnings Of the Sentinel,
arc like those Of the old woman, whose cow,
she was made to believe, had eat up the grind
stone--they were an aferthought, uttered to
meet supposed calamity, which had never
happened, and to demonstrate that wise fore
caste, which, in imagination, had warned the
old man, to put the grindstone whore the co50
couldn't eat It'll
Like the peaceable and quiet COW, we haven't
attempted to swallow the grindstone, eren
WITHOUT the crank But the Sentinel may
have the benefit Of its pretended censures, as
the old woman had the credit of exhibiting
her profound sagacity and forecaste, on like
occasion.
VERY MYsrERIoUs-Th United States Fly
ing Artillery from Fort McHenry arrived in
this city on Tuesday morning for the purpose,
it was supposed, Of joining the anti-American
procession on the Fourth. But for some rea-
son, not made public, they did not join in that
procession. Rumor says that the Secretary Of
War forbade them to appear in the procession,
as they had been ordered to Washington by
the President without consulting him.
1t is also stated that a remonstrance was
made against the Flying Artillery uniting in
the procession, by a distinguished member of
the anti-American party
The United States Flying Artillery, in con-
sequence Of not being required to march In
the anti -Ameriean procession, which was
formed solely Of Irish, Scotch, and German
military companies, when II passed the Kirk
wood House, on its route to the Capitol, spent
the day very quietly Mt Jenny Maher's, in
state of wonderment at the cause Of their be-
ing summoned to Washington. The Transport
tation of the men, horses, and guns, by rail-
way from Baltimore and back, cannot cost less
than 10000 say nothing Of their expenses
in this city. This bill is paid by Government.
What authority has the President to expend
the amount without cause assignede Did he
fear rebellion here in the capitals Or is he
preparing for coup detat
Another Revolutionary Testimony TO the
business of our Principles.
In an grafton delivered, at the request Of Con-
gress, by General Henry Lee, on the death Of Gen
eral Washington, December 20, 1899, that Revo-
utionary patriot used the following eloquent Ian
guage:
"Methinks / SEQ his august image, and hear
falling from his venerable lips these deep-sinkng
words Cease, sons Of America, lamenting our
separation Go on, and confirm by your wisdom
the fruits Of our joint councils, joint efortsr and
common dangersl Reverence religion, dhuse
knowledge throughout Jour land, patronise the
arts and sciences. Let liberty and order be insep-
arabic companions. Control party spirit, the bane
Of free governments. Observe good faith to, and
cultivate peace with, all nations Shut up epsryape-
nus to foreign influence; contract rather than eI-
tend national connection; rely on yoursefpss only.
Be AMERICANS, IN THOUGHT, WORD, AND DEED.
Thus viii you give Immortality to that Union
WHICH WAS tne conrtant oUect VI my co.Iooulna
labors; thus win you preserve undisturbed 70 the
latest posterity the felicity Of people to me most
dear aud thus win you supply III my happiness Is
now sught 70 you) the only vacancy In the round
Of pure bliss high Heaven bcstows.'"
Such were the sentiments which General Lee,
Of Virginia, attributed to the Father Of his Coun
try, and which perfectly coinclded with those he
expressed during bis life. Such are the principles
against which the administration Of Franklin Pierce
and the whole foreigi party are waging war, and
for the avowal Of which they prescribe patriotic
Americans.
MAKE THE GoRkscrIos.--A paragraph was in
serted in the Organ, about three months ago, in
relation to Mr.. r. U. Sherman, Of New York, a
candidate for the clerkship Of the United States
House Of Representatives. In that paragraph
Mr.. Sherman was sdverted to as spirited
Know. Nothing Of Oneida county" The word
spirited was substituted by the compositor for
spurious" as 1t was originally written, and the
proper correction Of the error was made when dis
covered.
