The Sentinel.

The Sentinel man is aqueer chap. Referring
to the late election in Alexandria, he boldly as
sailed Mr.. Ullman, of New York, for address
ing the American party on the evening before
the election, and said Of it This is significant
factl" We took occasion in answer thereto.
to state, that one Mr.. Carrigan, Of Philadel
phia, had addressed the Forney and Pierce
party there on the same evening. If the on,
was a"sgnifeant fact" SO was the other
We made no sllusion to the importation Of Mr.,
Carrigan, from Philadelphia, to address the
Aexandrians, until the Sentinel had pre-
riOusly charged upon our party, that they had
imported Mr.. Ullman from New York for
that purpose. In our remaks upon Mr.. CARR
gan, we spoke Of him as an Y Irish Catholic. y
We had been SO informed, but it turns out that
although he bears an irish name, and belongs to
the present foreign party, he was born in the
United States. SO be II.
Well, on this point we had been misinform.

which denial was placed at the head Of oui

The Sentinelaoe says, "the Organ was in
censed that Mr.. Carrigan, should dare address
the citizens Of Alexandria, Why, the Senti
mel has surely been taking nap, and has for
gotten that itsel fwas inoensed that Mr.. Ullmar
should dare address private assemblage Al
Alexandria and that we only e6set the inter.

ference by Mr.. Ullmanl
We had not alluded TO Mr. Carrigans inter.

alluded to II except for the preriow allegation
made by the Sentinel, that Mr.. Ullman hac

dress the people Of Alexandra, IL they desired
10 hear him, and so had Mr.. Ullman, and 1
was the Sentinel and not the Organ who ysrs
complained Of the exercise Of this right
The Sentinel adds:
But the Organ grows Ear more indignant ans
ireful when Il learns that Mr. Carrigan Il an Amer
Jean and Protestant Il looks upon bis sin a. alto
gethcr objectionable. II would seem from THU
that there Is one thing, In the ectimation Of IN,

Protesting against the term "ircfhl,n W,
thank the Sentinel for correctly stating oul
opinions in the residue Of the sentence a
ADORE quoted.
We do think II .unpardonsbler in an Amer
lean Protestant to support and defend the caus,
Of Romnnism. "There 10 something in ON
estimation worse than an Irish Catholic" NJ
truer sentence was ever written. We think IN,
treason Of Benedict Arnold far greater Grim,
against these States, than the blood thirstinesi
Of General Gage, or the unrelenting warfare o
Lord Corvallis We leave the Sentinel e
pursue the parallel at it's leisure, not do1btinf
that II win fully comprehend the grounds or
which our opinions rest
