This is certainly modest request for an
outsider SO the Sentinel calls upon as TO
produce the = covenant We turn him over
TO the Tribune W. M M
But says the Sentinel:
x" If peradycnturc they have agreed to drop the
question: II Is only that by means OF silence, secre
cy, and suspension, they may gain breath and
strength IL ID only that they may be enabled to
disarm the South Of suspicion and then stab her in
the most vital part"
We may DO permitted to ask the Sentinel if
this be not mere surmise or assumption We
repeat the questions propoundod to the Senti-
mel last week. Are tho South SO gnlrble that
they could DO thus deceived and made to sac
rifcc their interests and their rights? How
could such scheme be carried out2 Hoo and
by whom are the South to be stabbed in a vital
part What are the meansg What is the mo-
dus operandis With all due regard for the
conductors of the Sentinel whom personally
we respect, we must say that such notions are
unworthy Of intellectual men, To our mind,
they are utterly ridiculous, worse than moon
| shine. ,
We do not propose to go into notice, in de-
| tail, Of the various remarks of the Sentinel,
which would furnish enough texts for dozen
commentaries
We shall close with but one moro extract
The Sentinel says: s4t
"Wc have sought no controversy with the
| American Organ We only, int the discharge ofour
duty as Democratic Journal called attention to an
organization that has ambitiously arrayed itself
/ against the Democracy"
we have not charged the Sentinel with seek
| ing a controversy with our paper It has done
what it deemed proper, and said what it con-
sidered appropriate, nevertheless we think,
| and have always thought, that its views were
not only erroneous, but expressed with too
much acrimony, and that its allusion to Ned
Buntline" was uncandid and undignifed. He
had as little to do with our organization as the
Editor of the Sentinel We have no occasion
to say with whom II originated.
Equally uncandid is the statement Of the
Sentinel, that our organization "has arrayed
itself against the Democracy We oppose
foreigaisns, jesuitism, and demagoguism. But
we neither oppose Whiggery nor Democracy
We seek TO form an American party" by
rallying around us the conservative elements
from all other parties. All men Of all parties,
who love their country, and viii sustain its in
terests and honor, by purging the body polite
Of the deleterious and noxious influences of
foreignism, jesuitism, and demagoguism, we
welcome to our ranks, We make no war upon
any respectable party in the country but,
Sewardism and Forneyism we viii defeat If we
can, by all honorable means.

0Lrvg veysus LARD 0nL.--At late meeting Of
the Farmers Club, connected with the American
Institute Prof Mspes asserted that what " We re
ceive as pure olive oil In market Is nothing more
nor less than the surplus lard sent In by our pork
merchants to France, where II Is transformed into
the genuine article Of sweet oil and returned to be
used at the tables Of those very persons who ex-
ported Il In the solid state This is certainly re-
freshing information for the lovers Of pure sweet
table oil among us and Is doubt perfectly true.
We venture TO say that not one-tenth Of the oil
sold for that Of the olive In our country, Is any
thing else than lard OIL
Any person can convert the common lard oil sold
for burning in lamps into as good sweet oil that
which Is generally sold for olive oil, by the follow
ing process Take say about quart Of the com
mon OIL and place II in clean tin pan, and set II
on stove, bring Il up TO about the heat Of scald-
ing water, and then add about one quarter OF an
ounce of sal soda dissolved in half teacupful Of
hot water. Stir this into the oil for about i've
minutes, then take of the vessel, and allow Il TO
cool When the sediment settles on the bottom Of
the vessel, the clear should be poured on into a
clean bowl, through white cotton cloth, TO strain
H. The oil obtained by this treatment Is sweet and
pure, excellent for oiling fine machinery, and for
making perfumcd oil for the hair.

Sentence Of a Coantevtsitor-M oaopoliziag Chari-

Standardization Of War Ai6any, dc.
BALTIMORE, January 8, 1855.
William Wilson convicted last week in the United
States District Court for passing counterfeit dimes,
knowing the same to be spurious, was sentenced
by Judge Giles to three years imprisonment in the
Penitentiary, yesterday. The sentence was short
ened by the judge on account of the advanced age
of the prisoner, and because there was some reason
to believe that he had been made the tool of more
adroit and dishonest men.
The Argus of this city, in its desperation to find
fault with the American party, is rendering itself
daily more and more ridiculous. Yesterday it com
planned that the members of the American party
we're monopolzing all the charitable movements of
the day, in order to make capital for their party.
The editor grumbes because almost every man
named in the list of managers for a contemplated
ball and concert for the benefit Of the poor Is
Know-Nothing.n Now, would suggest to the
"Argus," how can il be otherwise, when almost
every man is member of the American party

The decision Of Judge Giles, In reference to the
motion of the counsel Of William III. Martin, the
post Office clerk, convicted of purloining letters

The report brought by the steamer Black War
rior, at New York yesterday that the sloop-ofwr
Albany was at Laguayra on the 9Th Of October,
may serve TO revive the hope Of the many who
have friends or relatives among the officers and
crew Of the missing vessel. But fear that Il win
but prove delusiye. Previous accounts reported
her at Csrthagena, an adjacent port only two days
prior to the 9Th, and, as three months have now
nearly elapsed since the latest date, without any
further Of her, the presumption is strong that
she has been lost, or met with some serious dis
aster.

with week later advices, Is looked for with much
